DAYS 1-5 (JULY 12-16)

A shot of heat and humidity visits our region today ahead of an approaching cold front. This front will trigger showers and thunderstorms late-day through late-evening from west to east across there region, but we will catch the system after maximum heating and with limited favorable dynamics, so while a few stronger storms are possible, the ability of this front to produce a lot of rainfall and any significant severe weather is very limited, so for the most part it should be an uneventful frontal passage except for those who see a downpour or thunderstorm. The humidity will drop during Wednesday behind this front, although it will be a very warm day. We do cool off a bit more Thursday, but delay the arrival of high pressure by a day as we have to wait for a disturbance to cross the region that will bring some cloudiness and the threat of a shower or thunderstorm. High pressure builds in with fair weather for both Friday and Saturday.

TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. Potential showers/thunderstorms by late-day, favoring north central to northeasternMA and southern NH. Highs 86-93. Dew point rising through 60s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms this evening anywhere in the region, ending from west to east late evening. Areas of fog. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60s. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Lots of clouds early with a shower possible South Coast, otherwise sun/cloud mix. Highs 85-92. Dew point falling through the 60s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH early, then NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog interior valleys. Lows 57-64. Dew point upper 50s. Wind W under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Highs 78-85. Dew point upper 50s. Wind NW up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes possible.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A shower possible during the evening. Lows 58-65. Dew point middle 50s. Wind N up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 78-85, coolest coast. Dew point middle 50s. Wind N up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 58-65. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-87, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 17-21)

A low pressure area and frontal boundary will move into and slowly across the region later July 17 through July 18 with an opportunity for showers and thunderstorms. Drier and slightly cooler for the middle of the period before a shot of warmer/hotter and more humid air and a chance of showers/thunderstorms appears to end the period, based on current timing.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 22-26)

Higher humidity and opportunity for showers/thunderstorms early period and again late period, with middle few days more likely to be seasonably warm but dry.

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 11-15)

Mid July. Typical-feeling July weather. Fits nicely. The pattern this week will feature more seasonable to even a little warmer than normal July weather, but will still present limited rain chances – only 1 day out of the next 5, so we will see the drought conditions expand a little more during this time. First, high pressure shifts offshore today and we warm up with a developing southwesterly breeze, but dew points only creep up slowly, so you won’t really notice the higher humidity until we get to tonight, and especially Tuesday, when the heat will be here. We haven’t had too many “hot” days so far this summer, so highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s will feel rather hot when they come along with the higher humidity. But this combo is really only around for one day, as a cold front will move across the region Tuesday night, presenting the chance of showers and thunderstorms from late in the day to the early hours of Wednesday. As the front moves offshore, Wednesday’s humidity level will drop, though it will still be quite warm as the air mass behind this front is not very much cooler than the one ahead of it. It will take until Thursday and Friday when high pressure sends a more northerly air flow into our area that we will see a little more cooling, but not down to below normal levels that we had this past weekend. We’ll have to keep an eye on the front that goes by as it won’t be all that far away from us later in the week, but right now I think it may just help generate some areas of clouds that will make occasional appearances in our sky those days. While we could use it, it’s likely that any rainfall will remain to our south during that time.

TODAY: Sunshine – patchy high clouds. Highs 81-88, coolest South Coast. Dew point rising through 50s. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear to partly cloudy. Lows 61-68. Dew passing 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Potential showers/thunderstorms by late-day. Highs 86-93. Dew point rising through 60s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Areas of fog. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60s. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Lots of clouds early with additional showers South Coast, otherwise sun/cloud mix. Highs 85-92. Dew point falling through the 60s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH early, then NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog interior valleys. Lows 57-64. Dew point upper 50s. Wind W under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 78-85. Dew point upper 50s. Wind NW up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes possible.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 58-65. Dew point middle 50s. Wind N up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 78-85, coolest coast. Dew point middle 50s. Wind N up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 16-20)

An area of high pressure pushes over the region with fair, warm weather July 16 then offshore with increasing humidity for the end of that weekend on July 17, at which time an approaching front from the west brings an increased chance for showers and possible thunderstorms. This system may be rather slow-moving so a shower/thunderstorm opportunity may be present on July 18 as well before drier weather returns for later in the period with seasonably warm temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 21-25)

A more typical summertime pattern with a bit more humidity and warm to borderline hot weather – though early indications are not for major heat. Opportunities for showers and thunderstorms will be limited, but not absent.

C-19 Chat Post – 7-11-2022

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 10-14)

High pressure continues to control the weather through Monday, with moderate temperatures today with the center of the high just to the north and a warm-up Monday as the high center shifts to the south. Fair weather continues with more great early summer conditions including low humidity. Things change Tuesday as a cold front approaches and we get a spike of heat and higher humidity. This also leads to a late-day thunderstorm chance, but most of the activity with the front may hold off until the nighttime hours when it will likely end up weaker and more scattered, so we may not garner much in terms of needed rainfall. While slow-moving, the front should clear the area on Wednesday, but I can’t rule out some morning shower and thunderstorm activity especially near the South Coast. I do think enough drying takes place so we see fair weather for the balance of the day across the region, and still quite warm as the push of cooler air behind the front is not too strong initially. We will cool down a bit more by Thursday as high pressure heads our way via the Great Lakes…

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point 50s. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 54-61. Dew point near 50. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-87, coolest South Coast. Dew point rising through 50s. Wind S-SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 61-68. Dew point nearing 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. A late day shower or thunderstorm is possible. Highs 85-92. Dew point rising through 60s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Areas of fog. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60s. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy with a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms morning, favoring the South Coast. Partly cloudy afternoon. Highs 83-90. Dew point 60s but trending down. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog interior valleys. Lows 57-64. Dew point upper 50s. Wind W under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85. Dew point upper 50s. Wind NW up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes possible.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 15-19)

High pressure brings dry and seasonably warm weather July 15-16. Approaching frontal boundary brings higher humidity and increased chance of showers and possible thunderstorms July 17 and possibly into July 18 before an end-of-period return to dry weather, lowering humidity, and seasonable warmth.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 20-24)

A more typical summertime pattern with a bit more humidity and warm to borderline hot weather – though early indications are not for major heat. Eventually we should see some increase in the chance for showers and thunderstorms.

C-19 Chat Post – 7-10-2022

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 9-13)

This weekend will feature fair, dry, comfortable weather as high pressure dominates. The high will slide offshore Monday sending warmer air our way, but humidity will stay down that day. It is Tuesday and into Wednesday when we will get a more traditional summer feel with warmth and higher humidity, but also an increase in the chance for showers and thunderstorms. This takes place later Tuesday into Wednesday as a cold front approaches the region. The timing / speed of this front will determine the details when we get to those days – something to sort out going forward.

TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 76-83, coolest coast. Dew point 50s. Wind NW-NE 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 53-60. Dew point near 50. Wind NE under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point 50s. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 54-61. Dew point near 50. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 80-87, coolest South Coast. Dew point rising through 50s. Wind S-SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 61-68. Dew point nearing 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. A late day shower or thunderstorm is possible. Highs 85-92. Dew point rising through 60s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Areas of fog. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60s. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy with a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Highs 81-88. Dew point 60s. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 14-18)

High pressure brings more dry weather July 14-16. Increased moisture later in the period presents a better chance of shower and thunderstorm activity, but we still have a general northwesterly flow and no sustained heat in this pattern.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 19-23)

Another area of high pressure builds in with cooler, drier weather to start the period, then warmer and increased humidity later in the period when the chance of showers and thunderstorms will return.

C-19 Chat Post – 7-9-2022

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 8-12)

A quick shot of warmth and higher humidity, though not oppressive humidity, precedes the passage of a cold front later today. This front will have limited activity on it, with only a few showers and perhaps a thunderstorm in the area later in the day. That exits during tonight, and high pressure builds in for a beautiful weekend, coolest both days along the coast, warmest inland, but lots of sun and low humidity both days as well. High pressure will move offshore Monday and a southwesterly wind, the “return flow” as it’s known, will usher in warmer but only slightly more humid air. You’ll notice the humidity more so on Tuesday as well as the feel of summer as we make a rare (for this summer so far) run at 90. We’ll also have to watch for a late-day thunderstorm Tuesday as a frontal boundary will be getting closer to the area from the northwest.

TODAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorm mainly mid to late afternoon. Highs 79-86. Dew point over 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers early, then clearing. Lows 57-64. Dew point falling to near 50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to NE.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 55-62. Dew point under 50. Wind NE under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point near 50. Wind N shifting to E up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 56-63. Dew point near 50. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-87. Dew point near 55. Wind variable up to 10 MPH morning, SW 10-20 MPH afternoon.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 61-68. Dew point nearing 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. A late day shower or thunderstorm is possible. Highs 85-92. Dew point rising through 60s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 13-17)

A cold front moving through the area July 13 presents a shower and thunderstorm chance with warm air and high humidity in place. High pressure builds in with fair, slightly cooler, and drier weather July 14-16. Next chance of unsettled weather comes at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 18-22)

Another area of high pressure builds in with cooler, drier weather to start the period, then warmer and increased humidity later in the period when the chance of showers and thunderstorms will return.

C-19 Chat Post – 7-8-2022

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 7-11)

Weak high pressure slides offshore today and sets up a southeasterly air flow, aided by the development of a diurnal sea breeze anyway near the coast, so it will be a mild day but cooler readings will be found at beaches. Occasional clouds will cross the sky with some mid level moisture about. Tonight, a warm front crosses the region with clouds but no precipitation. Friday, a cold front will move across the region, but not arriving until late it will give us a chance to feel a bit more warmth and slightly more humid. Generation of showers and possible thunderstorms will be somewhat limited, so many areas may get through this without seeing any rain at all. The weekend will be spectacular, governed by Canadian high pressure, with plenty of sun both days, fairly light wind, and low humidity. We may see some clouds around early Saturday though to start the weekend off as a result of Friday’s front being a bit sluggish upon its exit. High pressure will retain control of our weather Monday with another nice day expected.

TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point under 60. Wind S-SE up to 10 MPH with a few coastal gusts to 15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Dew point under 60. Wind variable To S up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorm. Highs 79-86. Dew point over 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers early, then clearing. Lows 57-64. Dew point falling to near 50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 55-62. Dew point under 50. Wind N under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point near 50. Wind N shifting to E up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 56-63. Dew point near 50. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85. Dew point near 55. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 12-16)

A shot of warmth and humidity followed by a shower/thunderstorm chance, then a return to mild/dry weather as the overall weather pattern remains the same.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 17-21)

High pressure will be in control much of the time. Starting the period on the dry side then increasing the humidity and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms later.

C-19 Chat Post – 7-7-2022

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 6-10)

A quiet weather pattern will be ours for days to come. High pressure brings fair and warm weather today but with lower humidity and a cooling coastal sea breeze developing. The high moves off to the south and east Thursday and the frontal boundary that went through our area last night will be heading back this way as a warm front, probably never to make it. But it will help increase the cloud cover in the region on Thursday. But that boundary never makes it and a stronger northwesterly flow brings another Canadian cold front into and across the region Friday, bringing the only chance of rainfall during this 5-day period, in the form of scattered showers. Canadian high pressure builds in to provide the region with dry and pleasant summer weather for the weekend…

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85. Dew point falling below 60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts through mid morning, then variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Dew point below 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 78-85, coolest coast. Dew point under 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Dew point under 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers. Highs 76-83. Dew point over 60. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers early, then clearing. Lows 57-64. Dew point falling to near 50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 55-62. Dew point under 50. Wind N under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point near 50. Wind N shifting to E up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 11-15)

High pressure will be the main player in our weather at first, and as it shifts to the south of the region the trend will be for weather weather with an increase in temperature and humidity. A frontal boundary moves into the region mid into late period with a shower and thunderstorm threat.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 16-20)

High pressure will be in control much of the time. Originating from Canada it brings mild/dry weather at first before sinking to the south and allowing increased warmth and humidity again.

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 5-9)

We’re beyond the big holiday weekend now, which was quite nice for the most part after just some interruption from showers / storms on Saturday. Going through the remainder of this week, we have a couple rounds of unsettled weather to contend with. The first, later today and tonight as a low pressure disturbance crosses the region in a northwesterly air flow. First, the warm front from the system will approach and move through this afternoon with a threat of a little bit of light rainfall, but much of this struggles to make it to the ground as it battles the dry air in place. Moisture spikes this evening ahead of a cold front, which offers a better chance of showers and possible thunderstorms as it moves through the region from northwest to southeast late evening to early overnight hours, basically a couple hours either side of midnight based on current expected timing. Behind this system, high pressure brings nice weather for Wednesday. However, this time it’s only a one-day stand for the great weather, because we’ll already see clouds moving back in Thursday ahead of that frontal boundary trying to lift back as a warm front. That boundary may struggle to get all the way through the region, and will be a general pathway for a wave of low pressure to move across our region later Thursday night and Friday with showery weather. The rainfall and temperature details are a little fuzzy for Friday and are dependent on the exact position of the frontal boundary and track of low pressure – so some fine-tuning will be necessary. Canadian high pressure is expected to arrive just in time for the weekend on Saturday with more great weather – low humidity and pleasant temps!

TODAY: Partly sunny morning. Mostly cloudy with a chance of light rain, favoring southern NH and northern MA, this afternoon. Highs 78-85, cooler South Coast. Dew point rising toward 60. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy early to mid evening with isolated showers. Mostly cloudy late evening to early overnight with showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms. Breaking clouds but areas of fog toward dawn. Lows 60-67. Dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind variable to SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW toward dawn.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84. Dew point falling below 60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH early then variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Dew point below 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 78-85, coolest coast. Dew point under 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Dew point under 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers, possibly thunderstorms. Highs 76-83. Dew point over 60. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers early, then clearing. Lows 57-64. Dew point falling to near 50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 77-84. Dew point 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 10-14)

High pressure is expected to bring fair, dry weather to finish the weekend on July 10. High pressure shifts to the south and a boundary sits north of to near the region with higher humidity and an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 15-19)

High pressure in control most of this period. Near to above normal temperatures, mostly dry weather with continued limited rain chances.
