DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 26-30)

The feel of summer arrived just in time for the first weekend of summer. Yesterday featured lots of sun, temperature in the 80s in general, with some inland locations making runs at 90 while the coast cooled back to the 70s with an afternoon sea breeze. Today will be a touch warmer overall but we still may see some coastal sea breezes, with inland penetration a little less than yesterday. So overall a slightly warmer to hotter day is today’s takeaway. Humidity levels will be in check with dew points hovering around 60 – a bit humid for some folks, but definitely not oppressive. Ironically as the temperature comes down for Monday due to cloud cover with the arrival and passage of a slow-moving cold front, the humidity will spike ahead of the front, so it’ll be cooler but more humid. Add into that a decent chance at fairly widespread showers and possible embedded thunderstorms. The thunderstorm threat is likely to be limited due to the lack of daytime heating from extensive cloud cover, and slow-moving nature of the front, which will tend to produce more general showers. Behind the front, we get a delivery of pleasant Canadian air for Tuesday. High pressure moves overhead Wednesday with nice weather – light winds and coastal sea breezes. We’ll have a weak disturbance move quickly west to east across the region Wednesday night with some clouds and possibly a passing shower, and then another high pressure area moves in with great summer weather for Thursday, the final day of June.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85 coast, 86-93 inland. Dew point upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind S-SW up to 10 MPH with some local sea breeze eastern shores.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 62-69. More humid, dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog early. Showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms midday-afternoon. Highs 75-82, coolest South Coast. Humid – dew point middle to upper 60s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, shifting to W by late.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening with additional showers possible favoring RI and southeastern MA. Clearing overnight. Lows 56-63. Drying out with dew point falling to lower 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 75-82. Dew point lower 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 55-62. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a passing shower. Lows 60-67. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 1-5)

High pressure shifts offshore with fair weather and summer heat for July 1. Warm/humid July 2 with a cold front bringing a shower/t-storm threat – timing on that is uncertain but any interruption to fair weather will likely be brief. A northwesterly air flow arrives for July 3-4 with fair weather and drier air and that high should hang around with dry weather and a warm-up for the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 6-10)

We may be vulnerable to showers/thunderstorms in the July 6-8 period as we’ll be near an air mass boundary with some disturbances moving through. The longer range call is for fair weather to return for the July 9-10 weekend, but that’s way into the future so the confidence on that forecast is not all that high at this point.

  1. Thanks TK.

    Early this morning I was greeted by the crescent moon with planet Venus by its side directly in the eastern sky. Eerie but breathtaking at the same time. 🙂

    Since I didn’t notice a reddish tone, I assumed it wasn’t Mars. 😉

    1. Awesome. I have not caught the five planet alignment yet but did see God’s fingernail and a planet two mornings ago. I was half asleep so am guessing you are correct that it was Venus which is the lowest of the five

        1. That’s correct. It obviously varies in feeling from person to person but once you get to the upper 60s and 70s, If you are bringing that dew point right up there near those temperatures it can feel pretty stuffy even if it’s not hot.

  4. Good morning and thank you TK.

    I saw a new meteorologists on channel 5 last evening.
    Michael Page. I never saw him before, but I guess he was
    with NECN and Channel 10 and before that with the Weather Channel.

    He was excellent! I meany very very good. I was impressed!

    So, is he taking over for Wankum as Wankum move to the top spot on Weekday evenings? Seems so, but I have not seen anything official.

    1. I’ve seen him. He’s good.

      I really like the new guy on Ch 10, Tevin Wooten.

  5. Thank you, TK.

    I thought 72 was warm…considering weather pattern we have had….for this early. We are 79 with a 64 DP at 9:00 am

  6. My son and family are on Chebeague island off the coast of Maine. He sent along some photos. Apparently Maine is having a banner striper year. He caught two large and a half a dozen smaller throwbacks. The Maine coast is spectacularly beautiful. There were two porpoises playing off shore the entire three hours he spent fishing this morning

  8. So Logan has a SE sea breeze at 7MPH already this morning and is sitting at 79. 81 here.

    Logan dp = 64 and I see 64-66 across the area, but see dps
    68-70 across Southern RI and CT. With a SW, those higher dps
    could make their way in here. YUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!

  10. Thanks TK
    I am hoping the Tuesday through Thursday forecast holds with a comfortable airmass in place and plenty of sunshine.

    1. Works for me. I don’t mind this summer feel at all but something is in the air that has set of my allergies and that of all my grandkids too. No idea where it came from. I had two asthma attacks yesterday and absolutely no idea why as that is almost unheard of for me

  11. This has been a good summer pattern a couple days with heat and humidity and a couple days with a comfortable airmass.

  13. Thanks, TK.

    Though today is a tad too warm for me. I’m in JJ’s camp. This has been a very nice summer thus far in terms of the lack of oppressive heat or humidity. Hoping it stays that way.

  14. It’s amazing that we still have yet to get any sustained heat (or even humidity for that matter) and none expected for the foreseeable future. I do wonder though if we will pay later in August and September.

    1. Even in 2009, we still had at least several days straight of HHH. Iirc it was from late July into August. Anyone with a better memory by all means chime in.

      I am fairly certain soon after Labor Day the heat was gone and never really returned.

      1. Per Logan data, Logan had a 3 day heatwave on August 17, 18 and 19th, hitting 94, 95 and 91F respectively.

        It hit 90F on the 21st and was a very warm 87F on the 22nd and 23rd.

        You are also correct about September, with the warmest reading, at Logan, being 81F.

      2. It’s still June. We seldom see sustained heat episodes before July.

        Last year, we did, but that’s the minority of times.

  15. I can say it’s very warm in the city this morning , not good when your in work jeans .

        1. No . I’m not on grounds anymore Philip I got a promotion within Enginnering & I am now in the General repair shop . And on grounds we could not as well .

  17. The breeze has picked up from the SW here in Marshfield and I see on obs has gone SW everywhere down here.

    I don’t think Logan’s SE wind is going to last more than a few more hours and the airport should get to 90F today.

  18. While Logan has yet to hit 90F,

    Hartford, CT has hit 90F (4) times.
    Worcester even hit 90F once in May.
    Providence has hit 89F (3) times and 88F once.

    Nothing strange here as spring should be coolest in easternmost areas.

    My instinct does tell me it may be a bit exaggerated this year as we’ve had a few cutoffs sitting east of New England, promoting a pattern that has allowed chilling low level, onshore flow near the coast, while warm temps aloft have gotten into central and western areas that have allowed a bigger temperature differential than average.

  19. 90 at Norwood, Bedford and Lawrence. 88 here, 82 at the Airport with SE wind at 10 mph. Ocean at 64.48 degrees

    1. It may actually come earlier today. We shall see. Still a decent sea breeze there at 10 MPH from the ESE.

    2. I can tell you that the sea breeze is NOT making it very far inland.
      It is not here and I am 7 miles in from a NE breeze 5 miles inland for due East and 20 miles inland for a SE wind.

      1. Sorry that the dps are in the 60s today. I’m thinking too hot/humid to come down this way today. That stinks.

  21. If Logan fails to reach 90 today, they will be shut out for June, as the next potential 90+ day there would be Friday July 1.

    1. My app says 91 here at the Hospital, I will say it sure feels like it as I just had to go across the street to check an alarm .

  23. As the land heats the sea breeze cell is picking up steam. This is going to cap the temperature within a few miles of the coast everywhere and over pretty much all of southeastern Massachusetts where the seabreeze has penetrated quite a distance northwestward already.

    This should pretty much make the temperature forecast above verify generally well.

  24. Thanks TK.

    84 here in Meriden CT at this weekends softball tournament. Can feel the humidity a bit more than yesterday but it’s really not that bad here in the shade and there is a nice breeze.

    We are going up to North Conway later today for 5 days. Tomorrow is not looking great with the frontal passage but the rest of the week looks really nice. I’ll gladly settle for 4 out of 5 decent days!

    1. If you’re referring to Logan’s sensor, I believe it has been fixed (finally) for awhile now.

      I hear what you’re saying though. 😉

      1. It was fixed at Logan once in 2019 and has been fine since It is checked very regularly using two calibrated sensors.

        Airport sensors are correct for where they are placed. Sea-Tac and others have the same problem.

        I believe it was Eric who tweeted a few days ago to focus on surrounding areas more. As TK has said, airports need sensors.

        It doesn’t mean they are representative.

    2. Newark’s discrepancies seem worse than Logan’s ever were. Not sure if it’s a calibration thing or sensor placement at some of these airports. Runways are very hot particularly in urban areas such as metro NY/NJ

  26. Just got out of the ocean here at the RI. south coast water temperature about 68° very pleasant. Sand is extremely hot with the high June sun angle.

  27. Logan at 85, dp 64. Wind due E at 18 mph.

    That six o’clock jump is going to have to be mighty high to get to 90 degrees today. 😉

  31. Logan topped out at 85, and they will not have a late day surge to 90. Why? The ocean air from the southeast has made it far enough northwest that the area the heat would have come from has been modified. They will not make 90 in June.

    3. And I was completely wrong about that. They made it to 90 during the last hour. Well we knew that was their only shot. I just didn’t think it had enough left…

      So they have reached 90° in June after all this year.

    1. At least we know this 90 is legitimate since the thermometer is correct. 🙂

      Last year two or three of their first eight 90-degree days were actually 88 or 89-degree days. 😉

    1. I fully agree. I just went out for a short walk, and it is wonderful out there. Enjoy the evening Vicki!

  34. Back to 85 at Logan. I love it. 😉
    My short-term forecast was ruined by about 20 minutes of southerly wind. 😉

  35. Thanks, TK.

    I just got back from an outdoor concert in Norwood celebrating the town’s 150th anniversary. We were expecting serious heat, but though it was plenty warm, the real adventure was the wind, which blasted through the outdoor covered stage. Some music went flying, and several heavy music stands actually blew over during the intermission. Thankfully the crew taped them down for the second half.

    1. Thank you JJ. This is great. It supports exactly what Mets told Me, eBay Cliff Mass said re Sea-Tad, and what TK said. Great find

    1. Josh distinctly said 303 days but NWS has 302.

      Since I don’t know this Josh anyway, I’ll go with NWS.
