Tuesday July 8 2025 Forecast (6:56AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 8-12)

The remains of Chantal clipped Cape Cod and the Islands with heavy showers and thunderstorms in the early morning hours today, but have exited that region. We’re left with a another humid day, quite warm (not as hot as yesterday most areas). A cold front moving through the region from north to south will trigger additional showers and thunderstorms in scattered / clustered form mainly this afternoon, with a second surge possible in some areas tonight into early Wednesday as the front becomes mainly stationary just to the south. A little push from high pressure to the northeast should then limit the shower chances to the South Coast and well west of Boston for the balance of Wednesday, before a disturbance from the west increases the chances and coverage from west to east on Thursday, tapering off Friday as the disturbance continues onward to the east. Weak high pressure takes over Saturday with better weather. I am optimistic that the previously-mentioned disturbance and shower chance for Saturday will be something that occurs north of our region.

TODAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered to clustered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, some storms can be locally severe and some can produce torrential downpours with flooding. Highs 82-89 except 75-82 South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind variable to SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. Additional scattered to clustered showers and thunderstorms. Lows 66-73. Dew point middle to upper 60s. Wind variable to N up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy – some limited sun possible. Scattered showers anywhere early, then favoring areas south of I-90 and west of I-495 later on. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind N to E up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely, especially midday and afternoon. Chance of a thunderstorm. Highs 71-78. Dew point in 60s. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers diminish. Highs 71-78. Dew point in 60s. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 73-80, coolest coast. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 13-17)

Fair and warmer July 13 to finish off the weekend. Disturbance and frontal system brings a shower / thunderstorm chance to the region July 14 into July 15 followed by fair weather by the middle of next week. No major heat.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 18-22)

Into mid period, moderate humidity and temperatures, mainly fair weather with high pressure to the north dominant, keeping low pressure to the south far enough away to limit shower chances. Later in the period some indications of high pressure building aloft with hotter weather again.

Monday July 7 2025 Forecast (7:04AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 7-11)

The holiday weekend is over (unless you extended it) and we move into the heart of summer now. And today will certainly feel like it with heat and high humidity thanks to high pressure offshore. The increase in moisture, combined with solar heating, can lead to a few pop up showers and/or thunderstorms this afternoon, although most places will not see anything. Any of that activity dissipates this evening, but the clouds will increase overnight with both the approach of the remains of T.S. Chantal from the Southwest and a cold front from the northwest. The former will bring a batch of showers from pre-dawn to mid morning Tuesday, but heaviest and most concentrated activity is likely to occur over Cape Cod and the Islands. The latter will increase the shower and thunderstorm chances from northwest to southeast from midday through afternoon. With some sunshine, it will still be able to heat up and also it will be quite humid. Showers/storms will simmer down and diminish Tuesday night as the front pushes through, then settles to a stop near or off the South Coast Wednesday into late week. A little press of high pressure from the north will keep us mainly dry Wednesday with just a possible shower to the south and west of Boston. A wave of low pressure moving eastward along the front to our south will increase shower chances later Thursday into Friday. Wednesday through Friday will also be noticeably cooler than early week.

TODAY: Partly sunny. Isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs 86-93 except 78-85 South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH gusts 20-25 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Any early isolated showers dissipate. Shower/thunderstorm chances increase especially east of I-95 overnight. Lows 71-78. Dew point near 70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH becoming variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely, favoring eastern CT, RI, and southeastern MA early, then redeveloping from northwest to southeast midday through afternoon. Highs 82-89 except 75-82 South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind variable to SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. A shower or thunderstorm possible early. Lows 66-73. Dew point middle to upper 60s. Wind variable to N up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Lots of clouds / partial sun. A shower possible south and west of Boston. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind N to E up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely, mainly in the afternoon. Chance of a thunderstorm. Highs 71-78. Dew point in 60s. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely, mainly morning and midday. Chance of a thunderstorm. Highs 71-78. Dew point in 60s. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 12-16)

The July 12-13 weekend will be governed by weak high pressure and mainly dry, though a spot shower or t-storm can’t be ruled out July 12 as an upper disturbance passes by. A modest warm-up but no high heat is expected. Disturbance brings increased shower / thunderstorm chances early next week with a drying trend by midweek.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 17-21)

Through mid period, moderate humidity and temperatures, mainly fair weather with high pressure to the north dominant, keeping low pressure to the south far enough away to limit shower chances. Later in the period some indications of high pressure building aloft with hotter weather again.

Sunday July 6 2025 Forecast (7:58AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 6-10)

An area of high pressure slides offshore today while aloft the wind blows moderately from the northwest. Your Sunday starts off with moderate humidity and sunshine filtered by high clouds moving through in the aforementioned upper level flow. These high clouds thin out allowing brighter sun, while the offshore high starts to deliver higher dew point air to the region and the temperature heats up as the day goes on, turning what was a comfortable morning into a much less comfortable ending to the day. At least there is zero rain chance, making it a clean sweep of three rain-free days for the holiday weekend. Things are about to change, however. During Monday, high pressure sits offshore to our southeast, continuing to deliver high dew point air. Meanwhile, low pressure moving through the Great Lakes into the St. Lawrence Valley will begin to push a cold front our way. Additionally, tropical moisture from the remains of Chantal (a tropical storm coming ashore this morning in northern South Carolina) will be heading northeastward around the periphery of offshore high pressure. The increase in low level moisture combined with the fact we’ll still be in a fairly hot air mass will lead to the development of tropical showers of the isolated to scattered variety, perhaps a non-severe isolated thunderstorm or two in the region s well during Monday afternoon and early evening. However, these should fade / dissipate with the setting sun Monday evening. Tuesday will be a more unsettled day with more cloud cover, less heat (still fairly warm), high humidity, and much better shower / t-storm chances. Expect a ribbon of moisture associated with the remains of Chantal to bring some heavier showers and potential thunderstorms to southeastern areas of the WHW forecast area, particularly eastern CT, RI, and mostly east of I-95 in MA during Tuesday morning over a period of a few to several hours. This should be followed by a pause, then additional showers and thunderstorms anywhere in the region, but starting to the west and north and moving to the south and east with time, as the cold front moves across the region. This front should get far enough to the southeast to bring this activity to an end by early Wednesday morning after lingering into Tuesday night. The daytime hours of Wednesday look dry, mild, and moderately humid as a very small and weak area of high pressure noses in from the Gulf of Maine. As we head into midweek, the jet stream to our north will sink a little to the south, establishing a weak zonal flow pattern aloft. During this time, the next trough / disturbance will approach from the west, and it looks like a surface low pressure wave will travel along a frontal boundary still to our south, held there by high pressure in eastern Canada. This would be a mainly cloudy, occasionally wet, and cooler set up here for Thursday.

TODAY: Sun filtered by high clouds morning / brighter sun afternoon hours. Highs 88-95 except 80-87 South Coast and 73-80 Cape Cod and the Islands. Dew point rises through 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Fog patches in low elevations. Lows 68-75, warmest in urban centers. Dew point upper 60s to lower 70s. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs 86-93 except 78-85 South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH gusts 20-25 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Any early isolated showers dissipate. Shower/thunderstorm chances increases especially east of I-95 overnight. Lows 71-78. Dew point near 70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH becoming variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely, favoring eastern CT, RI, and southeastern MA early, then redeveloping from northwest to southeast midday through afternoon. Highs 78-85. Dew point 70+. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. A shower or thunderstorm possible. Lows 66-73. Dew point middle to upper 60s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a shower early in the day, favoring eastern areas. Highs 76-83, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind variable to E up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 72-79. Dew point in 60s. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 11-15)

Continued easterly air flow and unsettled weather with shower chances July 11, then a transition to fair weather over the July 12-13 weekend (still a shower / t-storm chance July 12) with slightly warmer and humid weather. Watching another potential disturbance to the south to bring mild, high humidity, unsettled weather to the region early next week.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 16-20)

Heading through the remainder of mid July the strongest indications are for a pattern favoring a weak jet stream near or just north of the region, surface high pressure dominant in eastern Canada and low pressure dominant to our south. This leaves the region vulnerable to unsettled weather at times but without sustained major heat being a threat.

Saturday July 5 2025 Forecast (7:01AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 5-9)

High pressure sits over our region today with fair, warm weather, but still fairly low humidity. Some high cloudiness will dim the early day sunshine, otherwise the sun will dominate. The high pressure area shifts offshore and opens the door to hotter and more humid conditions Sunday, but continued fair weather. The heat and humidity will continue (and peak) on Monday. While this is happening, we’ll start to see some clouds increase as moisture approaches from the south and a cold front approaches from the northwest. These systems quasi-converge on us Monday night and Tuesday, leading to shower and thunderstorm activity with less heat but high humidity. Wednesday, a weak ridge of high pressure builds in with a much-reduced shower / t-storm chance, somewhat reduced humidity, and lack of heat.

TODAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs 81-88 but cooler back to 70s coast. Dew point sub-60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 63-70. Dew point near 60. Wind WSW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 88-95 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point rises through 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 67-74. Dew point around 70. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 88-95 except 80-87 South Coast, 70s Cape Cod. Dew point near 70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A shower or thunderstorm possible, mainly south of I-90 and in southwestern NH. Patchy fog. Lows 70-77. Dew point near 70. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely. Highs 78-85. Dew point 70+. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A lingering shower or thunderstorm early. Patchy fog. Lows 66-73. Dew point 60s to near 70. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a shower. Highs 76-83, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind variable to SE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 10-14)

A trough of low pressure and broad scale onshore flow will bring unsettled and cooler weather to the region during July 10-11. Weak high pressure builds in thereafter with a return to mostly fair and slightly warmer weather, but no major heat indicated heading toward the mid point of July.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 15-19)

Still not much change from the lower-than-average outlook this period General pattern features weak west to southwest upper level flow with surface high pressure dominant to the north and low pressure to the south. This pattern can be unsettled at times, but also has periods of fair weather, and lacks sustained major heat.

Friday July 4 2025 Forecast (7:30AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 4-8)

High pressure will provide fair weather for Independence Day today and throughout the weekend, as it builds into the region today with mild and dry conditions, moves overhead Saturday with a warm-up beginning, and slides offshore Sunday when hot weather and higher humidity return. Sunshine will be dominant all 3 days. This evening if you plan to be out at a fireworks display or other celebration, very low dew point and fairly light wind will allow the temperature to cool fairly quickly so keep that in mind! Early next week will feature high humidity, with the continuation of heat on Monday as we’re between tropical moisture to our south and a slowly-approaching cold front from the northwest. Clouds will start to increase. Tuesday will be an unsettled day with showers and thunderstorms likely as the front moves into the region and also interacts with the moisture from the south.

TODAY (INDEPENDENCE DAY): Sunshine with a few fair-weather clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point around 50 except lowering into 50s South Coast. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 58-65. Dew point lower to middle 50s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 81–88 but cooling back to 70s at the coast. Dew point stays sub-60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 63-70. Dew point near 60. Wind WSW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 88-95 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point rises through 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 67-74. Dew point around 70. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 88-95 except 80-87 South Coast, 70s Cape Cod. Dew point near 70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 70-77. Dew point near 70. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely. Highs 78-85. Dew point 70+. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 9-13)

A weak area of high pressure provides fair weather and slightly lower humidity July 9 before another disturbance brings back high humidity and shower/thunderstorm chances for July 10. Unsettled weather may linger July 11 with a wave of low pressure passing by to our south, before high pressure builds in with fair weather and moderate humidity for the July 12-13 weekend.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 14-18)

Not much change from the uncertain / low confidence mid July outlook. Strongest leaning is for high pressure dominant to the north, low pressure dominant to the south, with some opportunities for unsettled weather, while the main jet stream stays to the north in southern Canada. Currently no strong indication of the stronger west northwest flow materializing.

Thursday July 3 2025 Forecast (8:13AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 3-7)

Today will be a very warm to hot day with moderate to high humidity, and a trough and cold front moving through the region from west to east will trigger at least scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, ending from west to east in the early evening. The showers and storms should take the form of 1 or 2 general lines, but there should be scattered to at maximum broken coverage along them. Even though there are some limiting factors, there is enough moisture, instability, and heat present to allow at least a couple of thunderstorms to become severe, with a threat of larger hail and damaging wind gusts. Any thunderstorm can produce downpours and dangerous lightning, so if you have outdoor plans, be weather-aware. Tonight, a dry Canadian air mass arrives, and high pressure builds into the region for Friday, Independence Day, with low humidity, lots of sun, a few clouds, and seasonably warm air. It may even feel a bit cool in the shade with a breeze blowing as dew point temps will be quite low for July. The nighttime will be perfect for celebrations / fireworks displays – you may even need a light jacket! High pressure will be overhead early Saturday then slide offshore through Sunday. This keeps our weather fair through the weekend, but with an increase in heat and humidity so that it will be quite noticeable by Sunday. Hot, humid weather will continue Monday as high pressure sits offshore and a cold front is slow to approach from the northwest, likely holding its influence to just some increase in clouds from upstream showers and thunderstorms late-day or at night. One caveat for Monday though: There will be a trough and low pressure offshore to our south and Monday which may play a part in helping to develop a distinct South Coast sea breeze boundary, which can sometimes be a trigger for convection, so although it’s “day 5”, keep in mind that a couple pop up showers or thunderstorms can result from this set-up.

TODAY: Sunny start, then a sun/cloud combo with a 1 or 2 passing showers or thunderstorms possible in the afternoon until about sunset. Highs 83-90, but a bit cooler Cape Cod. Dew point in 60s. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH, can be stronger gusts around any showers and storms.

TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 57-64. Dew point dropping to around 50 except to around 60 South Coast. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY (INDEPENDENCE DAY): Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point around 50 except lowering into 50s South Coast. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 58-65. Dew point lower to middle 50s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 81–88. Dew point near 60. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 63-70. Dew point near 60. Wind WSW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 88-95 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point rises through 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 67-74. Dew point around 70. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Slight potential for isolated afternoon showers / t-storms south of I-90. Highs 90-97 except cooler South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, may shift more SE near South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 8-12)

July 8 looks like a warm, humid, unsettled day with shower and thunderstorm chances as a cold front moves into and across the region. Middle of next week looks less humid and fair weather high pressure moving in. Late next week looks more humid with a few showers and thunderstorms possible as high pressure moves out and a weak trough arrives – details TBD.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 13-17)

Not much change from the uncertain / low confidence mid July outlook. Summarizing what I wrote yesterday: Recent guidance indicates a fairly typical summer look to the upper pattern with the jet stream to the north in Canada, south of that a weak ridge of high pressure near and off the US East Coast, a trough of low pressure Great Lakes / Midwest, and a ridge of high pressure out West. For us this pattern is mostly dry but with a couple episodes of showers and thunderstorms, warm to borderline hot at times but no persistent extreme heat. There continue to be some hints of a stronger look to the jet stream to the north later in the period that could indicate a shift to a pattern more driven by that getting ready to take place.

Wednesday July 2 2025 Forecast (7:17AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 2-6)

The slower shifting weather that I talked about the other day really shows itself today. In the last few days, while we did expect the hotter, humid Tuesday with a PM t-storm threat, the expectation was to clear out at night and have a sunny, warm, dry Wednesday. But the cold front had other ideas, and decided it’s going to slog slowly across our region, taking basically an extra 24 hours to finish its journey, finally sauntering off the South Coast by this evening. What does this mean for today’s weather? It means that dew points remain high in southern areas much of the day, but gradually lower from northwest to southeast. It means lots of clouds linger, with very little sunshine south of I-90, but partial sun to the north. Scattered showers are also expected south of I-90, favoring the South Coast, and can linger around Cape Cod and the Islands into early tonight before finally coming to an end. So what was expected to be a bright pleasant day ends up as a slow transition day. The forecast for Thursday has not changed. Expect a warm day with a little re-spike in humidity ahead of a cold front associated with a low pressure area that will pass by to our north. This will trigger showers and thunderstorms to our north and west by midday Thursday, and these will make a run at our region during the afternoon, but may struggle to hold together with limited coverage and a downward trend in intensity. This system leads in a refreshing Canadian air mass that’s going to result in Friday, Independence Day, being a “Top 10” kind of day with abundant sun, a few fair weather clouds, a refreshing breeze, seasonable warmth but very low humidity. Regionwide it will be a dry evening for fireworks displays etc. And fair weather is set to continue through the weekend with an up-trend in temperature and humidity from Saturday through Sunday as high pressure builds into the region.

TODAY: South of I-90 – mainly cloudy, scattered showers, highs 75-82, dew point near 70 falling through 60s later. From I-90 northward – clouds thin and break for partial sun, especially afternoon, highs 82-89, dew point lowers through 60s. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clouds and a few showers lingering Cape Cod / Islands early, otherwise clearing. Lows 60-67. Dew point lowers to upper 50s. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sunny start, then a sun/cloud combo with a passing shower or thunderstorm possible in the afternoon, favoring areas north of I-90. Highs 83-90, but a bit cooler Cape Cod. Dew point returns to the 60s. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH, can be stronger gusts around any showers and storms.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 57-64. Dew point dropping to around 50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY (INDEPENDENCE DAY): Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point around 50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 59-66. Dew point lower to middle 50s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80–87. Dew point near 60. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 63-70. Dew point near 60. Wind WSW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 86-93 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point in 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 7-11)

A frontal boundary approaches from the north July 7 with timing uncertain. While it may remain rain-free across most of the region, expect an increase in clouds and the potential for some showers and thunderstorms to the north by later in the day along with a continuation of hot, humid weather. Expectations are for that frontal boundary to make it down into the region, become stationary, and gradually dissipate through the middle of next week with a daily chance of showers / thunderstorms July 8-10 before high pressure builds in at the end of the period with fair weather.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 12-16)

There’s still a lot of uncertainty regarding the details of the mid July weather pattern. Guidance has shifted from a dry stretch to daily episodes of showers and thunderstorms and back again. Recent guidance indicates a fairly typical summer look to the upper pattern: Jet stream to the north in Canada, south of that a weak ridge of high pressure near and off the US East Coast, a trough of low pressure Great Lakes / Midwest, and a ridge of high pressure out West. For us this pattern is “mostly dry” but with a couple episodes of showers and thunderstorms, warm to borderline hot at times but no “extreme heat”. There are a few hints late-period of a stronger look to the jet to the north and we’ll have to watch this because it could signal some changes at and beyond mid month.

Tuesday July 1 2025 Forecast (7:53AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 1-5)

July opens with an unsettled, warm, and humid day today. Abundant cloud cover starts the day as a disturbance moves by. There are showers most concentrated closer to the South Coast, with offshore thunderstorms, otherwise most of the activity with the disturbance is passing by to our north. Low clouds and fog exist under the disturbance-related cloud deck especially toward the South Coast. The key to today’s forecast, in terms of shower and thunderstorm chances for this afternoon and evening: How much clearing out occurs, which would result in a more unstable atmosphere and better chance for showers and storms. These will also be triggered by a slow-moving cold front entering our region late today and this evening. This front’s progress looks even slower to me than it did just 24 hours ago. Even without the help of much sun, there will still be a shower and thunderstorm threat, and the slow-moving boundary can allow some areas to see several hours of heavier rainfall, leading to local flooding. Severe weather (hail, wind damage) would become more likely if we have more sun leading up to these, so this will be something to watch during the day. The activity continues into tonight as it slowly presses to the southeast. Wednesday was once a “clean” forecast from me in terms of rain chances, but I can no longer rule out the redevelopment of at least a few showers and thunderstorms with a frontal boundary that will have barely made it southeast of the I-95 corridor by morning, and may take all day to finally move offshore. Areas to the west and north will be dry throughout Wednesday. Thursday’s forecast remains the same – a warm day, with a trough and pool of chilly air aloft swinging through, and while the focus of this is to the north, with the help of a trough we can see showers and thunderstorms develop and move across portions of the WHW forecast area in southern New England during the later afternoon and evening. This feature departs by early Friday, setting up a very nice Independence Day with sun and fair weather clouds, no rain threat, low humidity, and seasonably warm air. High pressure will remain in control with continued fair weather and somewhat warmer conditions for Saturday.

TODAY: Clouds dominant this morning including areas of fog especially south of I-90, along with passing showers also more likely south of I-90. Sunshine at times midday into afternoon, with isolated showers and thunderstorms possible, may become more numerous later in the day. Highs 83-90 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point reaches 70+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts especially this afternoon.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms. Areas of fog. Lows 66-73. Dew point falls slowly into 60s. Wind SW to variable up to 10 MPH, but can be gusty around any showers and storms.

WEDNESDAY: Sunshine dominant north and west. A sun / cloud mix south and east including the chance of isolated to scattered thunderstorms from mid morning through mid afternoon. Highs 81-88. Dew point falls slowly to below 60 from northwest to southeast. Wind shifting to W 5-15 MPH but can be variable and gusty around any showers and storms.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 61-68. Dew point in 50s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. A shower or thunderstorm possible in the afternoon mainly northern MA and southern NH. Highs 82-89. Dew point returns to 60+. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: A shower or thunderstorm possible early, then clearing. Lows 58-65. Dew point falls below 55. Wind shifting to NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY (INDEPENDENCE DAY): Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 60-67. Dew point sub-60. Wind NW to W up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80–87. Dew point near 60. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 6-10)

Heat and humidity July 6 with fair weather. A frontal boundary moves into the region July 7 with high humidity but a chance of showers / t-storms. Weather from July 8 through 10 to be determined by how long that frontal boundary hangs around. Reliable guidance currently indicates little movement of the boundary – more of a gradual dissipation, with a daily chance of showers and thunderstorms into the middle of next week. Temperatures July 7-10 still average a little above normal, skewed more by overnight lows.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 11-15)

Trend on guidance is to keep that pattern of low pressure and wet weather to the south, high pressure to the north. Today’s indications are a little less high pressure here with additional shower and thunderstorm chances into mid month, and not a lot of influence from Canadian air masses. This is a little inconsistent with previous guidance. Will revisit this next update. Take-away is a somewhat uncertain forecast, leaning toward a few shower and storm chances but no persistent major heat.

Monday June 30 2025 Forecast (7:10AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 30 – JULY 4)

High pressure slides offshore today as we wrap up June with a fair, warm day. A south to southwest air flow will keep coastal points, especially south-facing ones, cooler. Some stratus and fog will flirt with the islands this morning, and a batch of high and mid level clouds will drift up from the southwest later today, otherwise look for plenty of sunshine overall. Overnight / early Tuesday, a batch of clouds moves in and a round of showers (possibly a thunderstorm) will move through the few hours either side of dawn Tuesday, a result of the arrival of moisture and instability. Tuesday’s weather will be quite humid and very warm and we should break out into a sun/cloud mix after the initial batch of wet weather. With the approach of a cold front we’ll need to watch for showers and thunderstorm chances to increase in the afternoon into the evening. There are still some details to work out with this – scattered individual cells vs. a line or line segments. I think we will see a bit of both, and some storms do have the potential to be strong to severe, so prepare to be weather-aware. High pressure builds in behind the cold front with fair, warm, but lower humidity weather Wednesday. Thursday will be somewhat similar, but the approach of a disturbance from the northwest can trigger a few afternoon to early evening showers and thunderstorms of the isolated to scattered variety, so if you have outdoor plans that day, be aware of that possibility. Yesterday I was a bit nervous that this system would be sluggish, but it does look like it will exit the region in time for a fabulous fourth – very nice weather with sun, fair weather clouds, mild to warm air and low humidity for Friday.

TODAY: Some low clouds / fog Nantucket & Martha’s Vineyard early, otherwise sunshine dominates but some clouds arrive later in the day. Highs 76-83 South Coast / Cape Cod, 83-90 elsewhere. Dew point in 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Patchy fog. Showers possible toward dawn. Lows 65-72. Dew point 65+. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Early-day showers and a possible thunderstorm. Showers and thunderstorms becoming more likely during the afternoon. Highs 83-90 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point climbs to 70+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Potential showers and thunderstorms early, then clearing. Patchy ground fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point falls toward 60. Wind shifts to NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 81-88. Dew point in 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 61-68. Dew point in 50s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. A shower or thunderstorm possible in the afternoon mainly northern MA and southern NH. Highs 82-89. Dew point returns to around 60. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 58-65. Dew point falls below 55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY (INDEPENDENCE DAY): Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 5-9)

Leaning toward dry weather for the July 5-6 period to finish the weekend, then a disturbance to bring higher humidity and shower / thunderstorm chances early next week. A lot of fine-tuning to do with this forecast. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 10-14)

Large scale pattern evolution looks similar to a pattern we’ve seen a lot in recent weeks – upper level low pressure southeastern US with high pressure to the north. Right now looks like high pressure would be dominant here with fair and seasonable weather overall, but could be some larger temperature contrasts coast vs. inland depending on specifics. Much too soon to try to sort those out on a daily basis.

Sunday June 29 2025 Forecast (7:11AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 29 – JULY 3)

We start Sunday morning with a layer of low clouds and fog over southeastern NH, eastern MA, and southern RI, which will erode and dissipate with the arrival of drier air today, and the sun that greets areas to the west will expand into the clouded/fogged in areas later this morning, making for a very nice Sunday – warmer but less humid than yesterday was. High pressure builds in today and shifts offshore Monday into Tuesday. This allows for further warming and a summertime feel early in the week. Fair weather prevails Monday, but an approaching cold front Tuesday will trigger showers and thunderstorms, some potentially strong to severe. Monitoring that and set to fine-tune the details during the next couple updates. Behind that system, a warm and dry day is expected Wednesday. Another disturbance can trigger an afternoon shower or thunderstorm west and north of Boston Thursday, but otherwise warm and mainly dry weather is expected.

TODAY: Low clouds & fog southeastern NH, eastern MA, southern RI early. Sunshine elsewhere expands into the aforementioned areas before noon. Highs 80-87, cooler Cape Cod. Dew point falls to near 60. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy ground fog. Lows 60-67. Dew point near 60. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 76-83 South Coast / Cape Cod, 83-90 elsewhere. Dew point in 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 65-72. Dew point 65+. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Highs 85-92 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point 65+. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 61-68. Dew point falls below 60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 81-88. Dew point in 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 61-68. Dew point in 50s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. A shower or thunderstorm possible in the afternoon mainly northern MA and southern NH. Highs 81-88. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 4-8)

The overall evolution of things looks a little slower today than recently, but this is still good news for Independence Day and the weekend (July 4-6). Other than possibly some clouds and an early-day shower in eastern areas on July 4 with the departure of a disturbance, high pressure builds in with fair weather. The holiday is low humidity and seasonably warm. The weekend itself is a little warmer and only slightly more humid. Looking to early next week a slow-arriving frontal boundary brings the chance of showers and thunderstorms – timing and details TBD.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 9-13)

The early part of the period looks fair with lower humidity. There are hints of a little more humidity and unsettled weather with high pressure to the north and an upper low to the south toward the end of this period – will monitor this trend on guidance.

Saturday June 28 2025 Forecast (8:09AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 28 – JULY 2)

A warm front saunters northward across some of but probably not all of the region today, setting up a fairly wide temperature contrast despite a mainly cloudy sky. Most of the rainfall associated with this front will occur early on as a swath of moderate to briefly heavy showers to the north (mainly southern NH / northeastern MA) and a few scattered showers to the south, followed by a generally rain-free day, other than a possible sprinkle. A cold front will sweep through the region tonight with a few additional showers possible. Today will feature a spike of higher humidity that will then back off a bit tomorrow behind the frontal system, although with more sun it will end up a warmer day, even behind the “cold front” (previously discussed this here). High pressure builds in late Sunday then slides offshore Monday, which will be a fair and very warm day with moderate humidity. A cold front approaches and passes through the region Tuesday, with a quick shot of heat, higher humidity, and a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Behind this come an area of high pressure with sunshine and warmth for Wednesday, with lower humidity as well.

TODAY: Mainly cloudy. Showers and a few downpours likely mainly northeastern MA and southern NH until mid morning with scattered showers to the south, then only isolated very light showers thereafter. Highs 68-75 southeastern NH and eastern MA, 75-82 elsewhere. Dew point rises to 65+. Wind E up to 10 MPH southern NH and northeastern MA, SE to S up to 10 MPH elsewhere.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers are most likely overnight from northwest to southeast. Patchy fog. Lows 62-69. Dew point in 60s. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 76-83. Dew point falls to near 60. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 76-83 South Coast / Cape Cod, 83-90 elsewhere. Dew point in 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 65-72. Dew point 65+. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Highs 85-92 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point 65+. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 61-68. Dew point falls below 60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-87. Dew point in 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 3-7)

A passing disturbance can trigger a late-day shower or thunderstorm mainly north of Boston July 3 otherwise look fair mainly dry, warm weather. High pressure builds in with fair, warm, dry weather July 4-5. Next front brings a shower or thunderstorm chance at some point July 6 before fair weather returns for July 7.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 8-12)

West northwest flow, seasonably warm though some temperature variability. A couple fronts can bring brief, passing shower and thunderstorm chances in an overall fairly dry pattern.

Friday June 27 2025 Forecast (7:07AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 27 – JULY 1)

Our cooler interlude continues today as a weak area of high pressure builds from Atlantic Canada southward to the Gulf of Maine. This will eliminate any shower chances, although a lot of cloudiness will still be around. Thinning out of that cloud cover at times can allow for some sunshine, particularly in northeastern MA and southeastern NH, closest to the Gulf of Maine high pressure area. The front that put an end to our heat the other day has been sitting off to our south and is going to start making a return to the north soon. This will impact our weather Saturday, to start the weekend, generating some shower activity in the morning hours, although the most concentrated activity looks like it will occur north of I-90, and should be done by mid to late morning, followed by many rain-free hours with no more than an isolated pop up shower possible in a few locations. Temperatures will display a bit of a contrast on Saturday due to the front’s advance being slowed, with coolest conditions near the NH Seacoast and warmest conditions just away from the South Coast in northeastern CT, northern RI, and adjacent southern MA. I don’t expect abundant sun on Saturday, but there can be some intervals of it. Low pressure passing by to our north will drag a cold front through the region during the late night hours of Saturday and very early hours of Sunday, with a round of showers, but this should be offshore by about sunrise on Sunday, and a small area of high pressure is expected to provide fair weather Sunday and Monday with a warming trend for the last couple days of June.

TODAY: Considerably cloudy. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Dew point sub-60. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers especially north of I-90 overnight. Fog patches form. Lows 60-67. Dew point near 60. Wind E to SE under 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Shower chance is greatest north of I-90 morning, but isolated to scattered showers are possible at any time. Highs 68-75 southeastern NH and eastern MA, 75-82 elsewhere. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH southern NH and northeastern MA, SE to S up to 10 MPH elsewhere.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers are most likely overnight from northwest to southeast. Patchy fog. Lows 62-69. Dew point 60+. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 76-83. Dew point 60+. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 76-83 South Coast / Cape Cod, 83-90 elsewhere. Dew point in 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 65-72. Dew point 65+. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Highs 85-92 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point 65+. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 2-6)

High pressure provides great summer weather July 2-4, but a passing disturbance to the north may trigger a shower or thunderstorm mainly north and west of Boston at some point July 3. Watching for a disturbance to bring a little unsettled weather at some point over the July 5-6 weekend, but recent guidance trends are for less of an impact and mostly fair weather.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 7-11)

A couple brief periods of unsettled weather in an otherwise mainly dry and seasonably warm pattern.

Thursday June 26 2025 Forecast (6:50AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 26-30)

A cold front moved through the region from north to south late yesterday and is now settling to the south of our area, but not too far away. This front brought a cooler, less humid air mass to our region, but instead of getting a nice clear-out, we’re going to stay under a blanket of clouds, which can thin and break at times, much of the time during the next few days, along with generally below normal temperatures. There will be episodic shower threats, but the majority of the time will be rain-free. High pressure in eastern Canada delivers a broad scale air flow off the Atlantic, keeping it cool, but the source of the air mass was drier, so dew point temps have fallen below 60 and will stay there for a couple days before starting to increase this coming weekend. As far as our wet weather threats: This morning carries one mainly near and south of I-90 with some moderate convective showers. This evening more stratiform light rain patches can drift down from northern and central New England, but these will fight dry air, as will additional attempts through much of Friday. A disturbance passing by aloft will increase the wet weather chance slightly Friday night and early Saturday, but right now it looks like the greater chance for shower activity will be across northern portions of the WHW forecast area (southern NH, far northern MA). Still can’t rule out some isolated to scattered showers to the south, however. Sunday’s weather warms slightly, becomes a little more humid, but carries a minimal chance of a shower, with more sun than the previous few days as well – a hint of summer weather’s return…

TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers are most likely morning and midday from I-90 southward. Highs 68-75, coolest coast. Dew point sub-60. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy light rain favoring areas north of I-90. Lows 60-67. Dew point sub-60. Wind E under 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a shower. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Dew point sub-60. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Increased shower chances, favoring areas north of I-90. Fog patches form. Lows 60-67. Dew point near 60. Wind E under 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Shower chance is greatest north of I-90 morning, but isolated to scattered showers are possible at any time. Highs 70-77. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Patchy fog. Lows 60-67. Dew point 60+. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a shower. Highs 76-83. Dew point 60+. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 78-85, coolest South Coast. Dew point in 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 1-5)

Briefly hotter July 1 with a PM thunderstorm chance from an approaching cold front. High pressure brings mainly fair and seasonably warm weather July 2-4. Unsettled weather may return at the end of the period (July 5).

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 6-10)

A couple brief periods of unsettled weather in an otherwise mainly dry and seasonably warm pattern.

Wednesday June 25 2025 Forecast (7:27AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 25-29)

The extreme heat of yesterday will not be repeated today, but don’t let that fool you into thinking we can’t have one more hot day in the stretch. That will be the case because the relief-delivering cold front will take much of the day to traverse the region from north northeast to south southwest – quasi-backdoor style. While some areas reach or exceed 90 again, the record highs of 92 in Worcester, 95 in Hartford, 97 in Boston, and 98 in Providence, all set in 1943, will remain unbroken. A few pop-up showers and thunderstorms can occur today ahead of and along the frontal boundary, but coverage should be fairly low. Any locations that do see them, however, can experience heavy downpours and a pretty solid thunderstorm. The NH Seacoast, southeastern NH, and northeastern MA will be the first to see the temperature rise halted and reversed at some point this afternoon, with that trend then progressing south southwestward with time, so that during the course of this evening everybody is dropping to cooler levels than last night’s low temps. The dew point trend will also be slowly downward into and much of the way through the 60s as the front crosses the region. Our weather pattern is then quite different for the upcoming few days – Thursday through Saturday, dominated by clouds, below normal temperatures, and occasional shower chances, although it will be rain-free far more often than raining in any given location. Shower activity looks like it will favor areas south of I-90 Thursday, be least present Friday, and then another area can progress from northwest to southeast across the region during Saturday. Forecast tweaks upcoming as needed. Sunday’s trend is to see the front to the south lift northward but also lose identity, with a sun/cloud mix here, a warm-up, moderate humidity, but still a shower chance.

TODAY: Starts sunny, then a sun/cloud mix. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms midday and afternoon. Highs 87-94, hottest inland areas, then a cooling trend from northeast to southwest this afternoon. Dew point 65+ but with a slight downward trend from midday on. Wind variable to NW up to 10 MPH, shifting to NE from northeast to southwest by late-day.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60+. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Highs 68-75, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Chance of a shower. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a shower. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Fog patches. Lows 60-70. Dew point near 60. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 70-77. Dew point 60+. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Patchy fog. Lows 60-67. Dew point 60+. Wind SE under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a shower. Highs 76-83. Dew point 60+. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 30 – JULY 4)

Fair, warmer to finish June. A cold front brings a shower / t-storm chance July 1 with a brief heat spike. High pressure builds in with mainly fair weather July 2-4 with seasonably warm weather.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 5-9)

Watching a trough and potential unsettled weather at some point early to mid period before fair weather dominates later in the period with high pressure in control. Temperatures near to above normal – no extremes indicated.

Tuesday June 24 2025 Forecast (7:13AM)

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 24-28)

The hot spell that starts summer 2025 off peaks today with a high pressure ridge overhead and full sunshine, a high launch pad for temps, and high humidity. While Cape Cod will stay under 90, pretty much everywhere else exceeds it today. The immediate shores can be slightly cooler with very shallow sea breezes. The normal hot spots will make a run at the century mark, but the majority of the region will fail to reach it. Head indices, however, will have no problem getting to 100+. An uncomfortable night follows that tonight. Relief is on the way as a back-door cold front slides from northeast to southwest across the region Wednesday, though the process is slow enough that some areas (especially west and southwest of Boston) will still be on the hot side for high temps. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms can pop up with that front mainly south of I-90 and west of I-95 from midday into afternoon, otherwise not much will occur. Thursday through Saturday will feature cooler weather with the frontal boundary having become stationary to our southwest, and a couple disturbances moving along it. These can bring some episodes of showers through Friday. But Saturday, the influence of that front will fade, but another disturbance will approach and pass through from northwest to southeast, keeping the threat of showers going. However, even with 3 days of potential showers, it does not look like that many hours of rain will occur in any given locations, with the dominant features being cloudiness and cooler weather, not so much wet weather.

TODAY: Hazy sunshine. Highs 93-100 except cooler a few immediate coastal areas and especially Cape Cod. Dew point 65+. Wind W 5-15 MPH, may switch at times to a weak sea breeze along the immediate coastline.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 72-79. Dew point 65+. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. An isolated shower or thunderstorm inland areas mainly southwest of Boston in the afternoon. Highs 78-85 coast, 86-93 inland, but a cooling trend from northeast to southwest by midday on. Dew point 65+. Wind shifting to NE 5-15 MPH from northeast to southwest.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60+. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Highs 72-79, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Chance of a shower. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 68-75, coolest coast. Dew point 60+. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Fog patches. Lows 60-70. Dew point near 60. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 70-77. Dew point 60+. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 29 – JULY 3)

A more southerly air flow takes over for the final 2 days of June with mainly dry weather and a modest warm up with moderate humidity. Watching for a frontal passage from the northwest around July 1 with a t-storms threat. High pressure builds in with fair and seasonable weather later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 4-8)

High pressure looks like it will dominate with fair and seasonably warm weather around the Independence Day time period, with higher humidity and unsettled weather returning mid to late period.
