DAYS 1-5 (JULY 2-6)
Here’s your update for the holiday weekend and beyond and there are no big changes. The humidity lowers today behind a cold front, but it will be on the hotter side both today and Monday. One disturbance coming out of NY State this evening may trigger a few showers or a thunderstorm as far east as central MA and adjacent CT/NH but the risk is fairly low. An additional disturbance coming through from the west northwest may trigger a few showers or thunderstorms Monday afternoon favoring southern MA, CT, and RI, but these would be brief and passing in any areas that they occurred, so rather than alter any plans just know the possibility of this exists and plan for it. High pressure builds in with great weather for the holiday itself on Tuesday, and Wednesday as well. This high then slips offshore and humidity increases on Thursday.
TODAY: Partly cloudy southeast early, otherwise mostly sunny. Lowering humidity. Highs 78-86 South Coast, 87-93 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. A slight risk of a shower or thunderstorm central MA, northeastern CT, and southwestern NH. Lows 58-65. Wind WNW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of isolated afternoon showers or thunderstorms favoring southern MA southward. Highs 78-84 South Coast, 85-91 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy early, then clearing. Lows 60-67. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY – INDEPENDENCE DAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Low humidity. Highs 77-85, coolest coast. Wind variable 5-15 MPH with sea breezes.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Evening temps in 70s. Overnight lows in 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-85.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. More humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except some 70s South Coast.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 7-11)
A more humid period of weather with occasional showers/thunderstorms July 7. Drier and slightly cooler weather expected weekend of July 8-9 then warm and more humid air tries to come back and may bring some showers with its arrival July 10 and showers/thunderstorms with more humidity July 11. Timing is uncertain and confidence is low on this period.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 12-16)
Will watch for a high pressure ridge building in from the west which if it does so may set up a stretch of hot weather before the end of this period.
