7:57AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 15-19)
This weekend is definitely not going to live up to the top billing last weekend had, at least according to popular opinion, but don’t call it a lost weather weekend either, as a good many hours of it will be rain-free, including all of today. We will have to deal with some cloudiness however as a warm front passes through today. A cold front sagging into the region during Sunday will have more moisture with it, so in addition to its cloudiness will also some a shower threat, but there will be some rain-free time to sneak in some outdoor stuff. An unsettled pattern will then be with us for a few days following as the frontal boundary hangs around and a couple disturbances move along it. Right now the greatest risk for wet weather looks like it will be later Monday, early Tuesday, and a portion of Wednesday too early to determine exactly at this point.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 74-81. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 57-64. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. More humid. Highs 73-80, cooler coastal areas. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 20-24)
Another round of showery weather possible later June 20 and another at the end of the period. In between high pressure should bring mostly dry weather. Temperatures near to slightly above normal overall, warmest middle of period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 25-29)
The trend for late June is west to east flow but more high pressure ridging to the south of New England. This pattern is warm, rain-free most of the time but still carries risk of passing shower/storms at times from jet stream disturbances.

7:04AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 14-18)
Upper level low pressure moves across the region today, and while we’ll have a drying westerly wind, the sun’s heating of the ground, which has residual moisture left from yesterday’s rainfall, will trigger clouds to form, and with the help of a passing impulse of energy, perhaps some passing showers any time from the middle of the day to late afternoon. Dry, more stable air overtakes the region tonight and Saturday as high pressure moves in. But a cold front will approach, enter, then slow down in the region Sunday, then hang around into early next week, when we will begin several days of more humid weather with opportunities for showers and thunderstorms.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly sunny. Slight risk of a passing shower. Highs 67-74. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light NW.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 75-82. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 57-64. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 76-83, cooler coastal areas. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 72-79. Wind light variable.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 73-80. Wind light variable.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 19-23)
Shower/thunderstorm threat lingers but decreases early in the period with a dissipating frontal boundary nearby, and high pressure gradually takes over for a drying trend. Temperatures near to slightly above normal overall.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 24-28)
Look for a mainly west to east (zonal) flow with a couple opportunities for showers/thunderstorms, but fair weather the majority of the time, and a tendency for the jet stream to lift north in response to building heat over the interior Southeast and Midwest, putting temperatures to mostly above normal, but not excessively hot.

6:47AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 13-17)
Low pressure approaches then moves across the region today with a decent bout of wet weather. The negative is that it will have travel impact including resulting in some area of road flooding. The positive is that it will again knock the pollen count down and help maintain decent top soil moisture for vegetation and development of recently planted local crops. By Friday, the low is gone, and a drying westerly wind takes over, although I still cannot rule out a passing shower that may pop up due to a combination of solar heating and cold air aloft. The weekend starts great with high pressure in control, but a front in the vicinity Sunday, with southern New England on the warmer side of it, means increased humidity and a threat of showers and thunderstorms. The front will remain nearby Monday but we may end up on the other side of it, still unsettled but somewhat cooler, although that remains to be seen.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Overcast. Periods of rain, possibly heavy, with a risk of a thunderstorm. Areas of fog. Highs 62-69, may cool back to upper 50s coast. Wind SE 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lingering showers and possibly a thunderstorm evening. Lows 55-62. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Slight risk of a passing shower. Highs 67-74. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light NW.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 75-82. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 57-64. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 76-83, cooler coastal areas. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Highs 68-75. Wind variable to NE 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 18-22)
Shower/thunderstorm threat lingers with a front in the vicinity June 18 then look for a drying trend thereafter as a little more high pressure takes over. Temperatures near to slightly above normal overall.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 23-27)
Look for a mainly west to east (zonal) flow with a couple opportunities for showers/thunderstorms, but fair weather the majority of the time, and a tendency for the jet stream to lift north in response to building heat over the interior Southeast and Midwest, putting temperatures in southern New England to the warmer side of normal.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 12-16)
Quick changing weather day-to-day remains the theme of this pattern and this will be going on for some time with high pressure bringing nice weather today, passing low pressure bringing a good slug of rain Thursday, a drying westerly breeze trying to bring fair weather back Friday while passing upper level low pressure tries to ignite a few showers, then a weekend which favors fair weather Saturday and a shower/t-storm threat Sunday.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 73-80. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clouding over. Lows 55-62. Wind light S.
THURSDAY: Overcast. Periods of rain, possibly heavy, with a risk of a thunderstorm. Areas of fog. Highs 62-69, may cool back to upper 50s coast. Wind SE 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lingering showers and possibly a thunderstorm evening. Lows 55-62. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Slight risk of a passing shower. Highs 67-74. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light NW.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 75-82. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 57-64. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms. More humid. Highs 76-83, cooler coastal areas. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 17-21)
Shower/thunderstorm threat lingers with a front in the vicinity June 17 and possibly into June 18, with the next threat from a passing disturbance about June 20. Much of the time will be rain-free. A broad zonal (west to east) flow doesn’t allow it to get too cool but also prevents heat.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 22-26)
Zonal (west to east) pattern, but with a tendency for more ridging to start becoming established from the lower Mississippi Valley to Tennessee Valley will start to push the jet stream a little further north and allow a little better chance for very warm to hot weather mid to late period.

7:20AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 11-15)
We’re in the midst of our warm front / cold front combo as I write this shortly before posting it. That means it’s muggy, mild, and showery, and this will go on for a good portion of the morning before the cold front sweeps it all east and offshore this afternoon, resulting in a vastly different looking and feeling ending to the day. That incoming dry air will be courtesy high pressure which will settle across New England for a one-day visit Wednesday – the pick of the work week. But as previously mentioned, another low pressure area will be on its heels and will bring a slug of wet weather back into southern New England during Thursday, a cooler day with a stronger easterly wind ahead of the low. As a lingering trough swings through, there is the opportunity for a passing shower Friday but otherwise we’ll see another drying-out process with a westerly air flow taking over, and this will set up nice weather to start the weekend.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mainly cloudy with numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms early to mid morning tapering to scattered showers late morning. Becoming mostly sunny afternoon. Highs 76-81 except 68-75 immediate South Coast. Wind S shifting to W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 50-57. Wind W 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts evening.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 73-80. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Lows 55-62. Wind light S.
THURSDAY: Overcast. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Highs 62-69, may cool back to upper 50s coast. Wind E 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain tapering off to areas of drizzle and lingering showers. Patchy fog. Lows 55-62. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Slight risk of a passing shower. Highs 67-74. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light NW.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 75-82. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 16-20)
Going to lean toward the faster timing of a frontal boundary impacting the region with a little more cloudiness along with a shower and possible thunderstorm threat so this will be the case for the June 16-17 period with a drying trend then for June 18-19, before the next disturbance brings a shower threat to end the period. Temperatures will vary but will average near to slightly above normal with no major heat in sight at this time.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 21-25)
Zonal (west to east) pattern, but with a tendency for more ridging to start becoming established from the lower Mississippi Valley to Tennessee Valley will start to push the jet stream a little further north and allow the first opportunity or two for a “hot” day before this period is over.

7:09AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 10-14)
As the new week begins, we keep some of the great weather we enjoyed over the weekend with sunshine to start, but we’ll lose the sun to advancing clouds during the day. If there was one down side to the dry weekend, it was the prolific pine pollen dusting everything greenish yellow, and the smaller unseen pollen grains giving people allergy fits. But that is just something we have to deal with around here every year at this time, and is a price to pay for getting to the nice weather so many wanted. So, as a former bad allergy sufferer, I sympathize. If there is some good news about unsettled weather, it will be that it will help reduce the pollen count, and that wet weather is on the way for later tonight into early Tuesday, as a warm front and then a cold front cross the region in rapid succession, parented by low pressure passing north of the region. By Tuesday afternoon, we’ll already be dry with a westerly wind and clearing. High pressure builds in for a wonderful Wednesday, the pick of the work week if you can somehow make it a non-work day or happen to have it off. Another passing low pressure area this time with an onshore wind ahead of a center that will cut across southern New England, will bring wet and cooler weather Thursday. But don’t look out the window that day and think we’re right back into or still in the same pattern we were before. In fact, these 2 bouts of rain this week are needed as it has turned a little dry recently, and regular rains are still needed. It does not take long for the top layers of the ground to dry out. But since nobody is really going to want to see days on end of clouds and wet weather, they will be happy when the sun returns Friday, albeit with passing clouds and a gusty breeze, as dry air returns behind the low pressure area.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunshine followed by increasing clouds. Highs 73-80, cooling back to upper 60s some coastal areas. Wind light variable to SE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain mid to late evening. Showers overnight. Patchy fog forming. Lows 58-65. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mainly cloudy with numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms early to mid morning tapering to scattered showers late morning. Becoming mostly sunny afternoon. Highs 76-81 except 68-75 immediate South Coast. Wind S shifting to W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 50-57. Wind W 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts evening.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 73-80. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Lows 55-62. Wind light S.
THURSDAY: Overcast. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Highs 62-69, may cool back to upper 50s coast. Wind E 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain tapering off to areas of drizzle and lingering showers. Patchy fog. Lows 55-62. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 67-74. Wind W 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 15-19)
The June 15-16 weekend looks mainly rain-free but we may see a couple disturbances bring a period or two of cloudiness and perhaps the shower/thunderstorm risk may increase by later Sunday if things move along quickly enough, but for now leaning toward a great weekend. Frontal boundary nearby will bring shower/thunderstorm chances at times June 17-18 before high pressure brings fair weather by the end of this period. Temperatures will vary but will average near to slightly above normal with no major heat in sight at this time.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 20-24)
The overall pattern will be zonal (west to east flow) with a couple disturbances bringing us shower and thunderstorm opportunities, which are impossible to pin-point, timing-wise, so many days in advance. Still no sign of major heat in this period though some of our medium range guidance indicates it will be building to our west and southwest.

8:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 9-13)
High pressure remains in control today allowing the region to complete the first Saturday/Sunday combination with no rain in the region at all since March 16-17. High pressure gives way to an approaching warm front Monday, which will cross the region at night, followed quickly by a cold front, keeping the bout of unsettled weather confined to a relatively short time, before high pressure and drier weather returns for Wednesday. But things are on the move and the next low pressure area will arrive during Thursday with another threat of wet weather.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, cooler in some coastal areas especially Cape Cod. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 55-62. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Wind light variable to SE.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain arriving. More humid. Lows 58-65. Wind light SE.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely, especially morning and midday. Humid. Highs 72-79. Wind S 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 54-61. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 55-62. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 62-69 but may cool back to upper 50s coast. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 14-18)
Drier weather tries to return on a west wind behind departing low pressure June 14 but some colder air aloft may trigger showers/t-storms.
The June 15-17 period will feature high pressure both north and south of the region with a boundary between. Where this boundary sets up will determine the weather here. Leaning toward the warmer side of it now but along with a couple of shower/t-storm opportunities. Showers/thunderstorms more likely at the end of the period with high pressure from the north pushing the boundary further to the south.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 19-23)
A generally zonal (west to east) jet stream pattern with mean ridge of high pressure centered west of New England. This pattern sends a few chances of showers/thunderstorms this way but also brings fair and seasonably warm weather in between.

9:48AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 8-12)
Other than some high cloudiness across southern areas this weekend, high pressure will be in control with plenty of sun and fairly warm conditions with low humidity, making it about as nice a June weekend as you can have. Of course with the ocean water still chilly at this point in the season, coastal areas will be vulnerable to cooling sea breezes, especially today. Low pressure will pass north of New England early Tuesday, but will drag its warm front / cold front combination through the region Monday night and Tuesday, with unsettled weather. High pressure builds back in for fair weather Wednesday.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny but some filtered sun through high clouds to the south. Highs 75-82, cooler some coastal areas. Wind light variable to NW but coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 52-59. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny, but again sun filtered through high cloudiness especially to the south. Highs 77-84, cooler in some coastal areas especially Cape Cod. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-62. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Wind light variable to SE.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. More humid. Lows 58-65. Wind light SE.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely, especially morning and midday. Humid. Highs 72-79. Wind S 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 54-61. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 13-17)
Low pressure brings a chance of rain or showers June 13 with cooler air as well. Westerly flow, drier and warmer weather arrives June 14. The June 15-17 period will feature high pressure both north and south of the region with a boundary between. Where this boundary sets up will determine the weather here. Leaning toward the warmer side of it now but along with a couple of shower/t-storm opportunities.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 18-22)
A generally zonal (west to east) jet stream pattern with mean ridge of high pressure centered west of New England. This pattern sends a few chances of showers/thunderstorms this way but also brings fair and seasonably warm weather in between.

7:16AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 7-11)
A frontal boundary to the south will still help create some cloudiness across the sky at times today, especially to the south, but it will be a nice day overall as high pressure moves in, and this will set up a great weekend, but again with the front not all that far to the south we may see additional high cloudiness at times especially nearer the South Coast. Early next week, the front starts a northward movement Monday as a warm front and clouds overtake the sky again along with a risk of wet weather by late Monday, and then a cold front crosses the region during Tuesday with showers/thunderstorms.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny north, partly sunny south. Highs 71-78. Wind light N.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear north, partly cloudy south. Lows 48-53 interior, coolest valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny but some filtered sun through high clouds to the south. Highs 71-78, but cooling back to upper 60s coast afternoon. Wind light variable to NW but coastal sea breezes.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 50-57. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny, but again sun filtered through high cloudiness especially to the south. Highs 77-84, cooler in some coastal areas especially Cape Cod. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 73-80, coolest coast. Wind light variable to SE.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 58-65. Wind light SE.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely. Highs 70-77. Wind S 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 12-16)
High pressure brings fair weather June 12. Low pressure passing near to or southeast of the region June 13 brings a rain threat. A westerly flow and drier air arrives June 14. A warm front / cold front combo may visit the region later in the period with a risk of some cloudiness and passing showers / t-storms. Temperatures which will be somewhat variable will average out close to normal for the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 17-21)
A generally zonal (west to east) jet stream pattern with mean ridge of high pressure centered west of New England. This pattern sends a few chances of showers/thunderstorms this way but also brings fair and seasonably warm weather in between.

7:04AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 6-10)
The frontal boundary that has been sitting in our area for the last couple days divides cooler air in southern NH and northern MA from warm and humid air to the south, and this boundary will slowly sink to the south today, being the focus for some additional showers and thunderstorms, although these will get less numerous and more isolated as the day goes on and drier air works in from north to south. This boundary will be close enough for some potential cloudiness at times into Friday but high pressure building toward the region from Canada will assure dry weather and this high will bring a fabulous June weekend. By Monday, an approaching warm front returns cloudiness to the region.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms. Humid, especially southern areas, but slowly drying north to south.
Highs 68-75. Wind variable, shifting from SW to N from north to south, 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 53-60. Wind light N.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 71-78. Wind light N.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior, coolest valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 71-78, but cooling back to upper 60s coast afternoon. Wind light variable to NW but coastal sea breezes.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 50-57. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, cooler in some coastal areas especially Cape Cod. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 52-59. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 73-80, coolest coast. Wind light variable to SE.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 11-15)
Cold front crosses the region June 11 with showers/thunderstorms. High pressure brings fair weather June 12. Low pressure passes southeast of or over the region June 13 with a rain threat. Fair and seasonable weather for the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 16-20)
A generally zonal (west to east) jet stream pattern with mean ridge of high pressure centered west of New England. This pattern sends a few chances of showers/thunderstorms this way but also brings fair and seasonably warm weather in between.

7:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 5-9)
A frontal boundary will sit across northern MA and southern NH today into Thursday, and may waver around a little playing havoc with the temperatures near it. This front will also be the running board for a few showers and possible thunderstorms during today, which will become more frequent tonight into Thursday, before the front pushes to the south as low pressure moves along it then to our northeast. Thursday night into Friday a push of drier air gets the wet weather out of here and replaces it with fair weather, setting up a great weekend with high pressure in control of the weather.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and a slight risk of thunderstorms, favoring southern NH and northern MA. Highs 60-67 north, 68-75 south. Wind N 5-15 MPH northern areas, SW 5-15 MPH but higher gusts central and southern areas.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind variable, mostly SW in southern areas, 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 68-75. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers ending. Less humid late. Lows 55-62. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 71-78. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior, coolest valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 71-78, but cooling back to upper 60s coast afternoon. Wind light variable to NW but coastal sea breezes.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, cooler in some coastal areas especially Cape Cod. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 10-14)
Warm start to period then a cooling trend. Unsettled weather days are most likely to be June 11 with a cold front and June 13 with another low pressure area passing through the region. Other days mainly dry.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 15-19)
A generally zonal (west to east) jet stream pattern with mean ridge of high pressure centered west of New England. This pattern sends a few chances of showers/thunderstorms this way but also brings fair and seasonably warm weather in between.

7:11AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 4-8)
High pressure hangs on with nice weather to start today then clouds move in ahead of a warm front, but rain holds off until later tonight, and will favor northern MA northward as the front moves into the region but has trouble pushing too far to the north on Wednesday, a day in which temperatures may range quite widely from north to south across the region. The front will remain in the vicinity as a wave of low pressure moves along it, bringing more widespread showers Wednesday night and Thursday. All of it pushes offshore and high pressure moves in with improving weather to end the week, though the front will be sluggish to move along at first so clouds may linger on Friday.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Sun then increasing clouds. Highs 62-69. Wind light SE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain late evening and overnight, mainly north of I-90. Lows 50-57. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain ends north early. Showers arrive west to east evening. More humid. Highs 58-65 north, 65-72 south, but possibly a 72-79 area interior eastern CT or far southern MA. Wind light variable, mostly N to E in southern NH and northern MA, and mostly S to SW in southern MA, CT, and RI.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of a thunderstorm. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers, possible thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 73-80. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers ending. Less humid late. Lows 55-62. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 71-78. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior, coolest valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 71-78, but cooling back to upper 60s coast afternoon. Wind light variable to NW but coastal sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 9-13)
High pressure controls with fair weather to start the period, but the overall pattern being similar with trough eastern Canada and ridge Great Lakes / Midwest, will send a couple disturbances through the area with shower and thunderstorm threats, variable but overall seasonable temperatures and a lack of early heat.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 14-19)
Gradual transition toward a more zonal pattern, but overall result similar here to the pattern during the 6-10 day period.

7:38AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 3-7)
Things are a little flatter and faster in the atmosphere, so we can back off on the instability showers and add more sun to today’s forecast, keep one very cool night under high pressure tonight, get rid of the upper level cool pool for Tuesday and bring an approaching warm front and its increasing clouds into the forecast, wet weather with the front Tuesday night, and get the region into the warm sector, but still near the front, Wednesday into Thursday, when another round of showers and possible thunderstorms can occur Wednesday night into Thursday. By late in the week we should have high pressure over us with the front sufficiently to the south to keep it dry, but may not to keep cloudiness out of the region, so that’s the end of the week wildcard now.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 63-70. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 43-50. Wind becoming light variable.
TUESDAY: Sun then increasing clouds. Highs 62-69. Wind light SE.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 8-12)
June 8-9 weekend looks fair and seasonable at this time with a front far enough to the south and low pressure over eastern Canada while high pressure sits over the Great Lakes. Overall pattern stays somewhat like this but disturbances can move along the northwest flow into New England early to middle part of next week.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 13-17)
Still no major pattern shifts seen, similar to the 6-10 day period.

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 2-6)
Yesterday morning it was the high altitude smoke, this morning it is the low stuff (fog, low clouds), and it will take a while to burn it off where it is because there is cloudiness above taking a bite out of the sun’s power this morning. But a good thing, especially with so much planned outside, is that we won’t have a rainy day today. Other than some patchy light drizzle within the foggy areas the first part of the morning, and the remote risk of a pop up shower later this morning as we start to transition out of the marine air, it’ll be a rain-free day, with showers holding off until later this evening and tonight from a cold front moving across the region. An upper level cool pool will still trigger the risk of a few instability showers Monday but this threat looks less for Tuesday as it should move out more quickly. But a warm front may bring a few showers to the region Tuesday night and lead to a much warmer day Wednesday with high pressure centered south of the region. A weak cold front in the vicinity on Thursday may trigger a few showers and thunderstorms.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Fog/low clouds dominant with patchy light drizzle through mid morning, then mostly cloudy to partly sunny remainder of the day with no more than an isolated shower late morning. Highs 63-68 coastline, 68-73 elsewhere. Wind light variable to SE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Showers and a risk of a thunderstorm southwestern NH, central MA, eastern CT, and a risk of showers further east. Lows 55-62. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers, mainly afternoon and early evening. Highs 63-70. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers possible early. Lows 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 51-58. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82, cooler Cape Cod. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 56-63. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. Highs 77-84, cooler South Coast. Wind SW to S 5-15 MPH becoming variable.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 7-11)
The large scale pattern will be similar to the current one, mean trough position in eastern Canada with a ridge to the west (Midwest / Great Lakes). This pattern will send disturbances southeastward across New England and bring a few opportunities for showers. Temperatures, while somewhat variable, will average fairly close to seasonal normals overall. Some guidance wants to bring a shot of very warm to hot air in near the end of this period but holding off on going with that for now.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 12-16)
Still holding with the same general pattern but watching for a quick switch to hotter for a day or 2. There is some uncertainty still.

9:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 1-5)
Hello June! May went out with a smoke show as high altitude smoke from Canadian forest fires made for fairly rare conditions for filtered sun that was orange to red far higher in the sky than you’d normally see, and the sun even vanished from site before it set, despite lack of clouds. Our first sunrise of June was the same as the smoke lingers. We may not see the same thing repeat this evening, as there will be more cloudiness – both low clouds near coastal areas and higher clouds from the west. Those clouds from the west will be associated with showers and thunderstorms that may make it as far east as the Connecticut River Valley before expiring due to stable air they will be running into. I’d be surprised if a remnant shower made it anywhere close to the coast overnight. Sunday will be a slightly more pronounced repeat of today, in which the showers and storms may make a better run into eastern areas during the evening as they fall apart, but again look for generally dry weather for the great majority of the time, which is good news for many outdoor graduation ceremonies taking place. At one point I was worried that it would turn quite wet around here Sunday afternoon. That is no longer the case. As we start the new week, a cool pool of air above us will result in the typical instability clouds and possible pop up showers Monday and Tuesday, before it gets far enough east for high pressure to build in for a nice Wednesday, and the center passing south of the region should provide a general land breeze (except Cape Cod) and a fairly quick warm-up for most of the region.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Smoke-filtered sun, eventually more clouds. Coastal areas may be in and out of fog/low clouds. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 interior. Wind light E to SE.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A shower or thunderstorms may reach southwestern NH, central MA, and eastern CT late evening and a slight risk of a stray shower further east overnight. Areas of fog, especially coast. Lows 55-62. Wind light SE to S.
SUNDAY: Areas of low clouds and fog early to mid morning, then partly sunny later morning into afternoon except areas of fog may linger near the South Coast. Increasing clouds west to east later. Highs 63-68 coastline, 68-73 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Showers and a risk of a thunderstorm southwestern NH, central MA, eastern CT, and a risk of showers further east. Lows 55-62. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers, mainly afternoon and early evening. Highs 63-70. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers possible early. Lows 50-57. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers possible. Highs 64-71. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts possible morning, W 5-15 MPH afternoon.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 48-55. Wind light W.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82, cooler Cape Cod. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.

This pattern will send disturbances southeastward across New England and bring a few opportunities for showers. Temperatures, while somewhat variable, will average fairly close to seasonal normals overall.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 11-15)
Same general idea as previously with pattern persistence. Not comfortable forecasting any significant changes at this time, although one of the more reliable medium ranges models does turn it hotter rather quickly. Could that be the quick pattern shift I have referred to? I’m not confident enough to go with it yet.
