DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 20-24)
A disturbance will pass south of the region tonight and early Thursday, bringing some cloudiness but it is still looking to me like the rain at worst skirts the South Coast but otherwise stays south of the region. Cannot rule out a pop up shower Thursday afternoon interior MA to RI and eastern CT as there will be a little air convergence there. By Saturday, a warm front moving through the region may bring a few patches of insignificant light rain to the region. Don’t cancel any plans. This will be followed by a cold front crossing the region later Sunday, which may end up as a cloudier but muggy day overall with a threat of showers and possible thunderstorms. Forecast details…

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 25-29)
Expecting mainly dry weather for this period but will watch for small disturbances coming along a weaker jet stream in a general west to east flow. A trough nearby early in the period means temperatures will start out slightly below normal and a ridge to the west later in the period translates into warmer weather arriving.
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)
Much of this period looks dry with minimal shower and thunderstorm threat. Temperatures trending above normal.
