DAYS 1-5 (JULY 9-13)
As we enter the mid part of July a pattern fairly typical for this time of year will be in place. High pressure will bring a refreshingly dry but fairly warm day today, and this will be followed by an approaching warm front Monday which will bring some cloudiness at times. Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be warm and humid days with a daily risk of showers and thunderstorms as a front hangs to the north of the region. This front should settle south by Thursday resulting in cooler weather, but the question at this point is whether or not we will turn drier, or the front hangs up nearby and leaves the region vulnerable to unsettled weather later next week. For the moment, I’m leading toward the latter scenario, but with low confidence.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-86. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 58-65. Wind light SW.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 76-84, coolest coast. Wind S-SE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Wind light SE-S.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Humid. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Humid. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 14-18)
A cool and possibly wet start to this period followed by drier with a warming trend. The period may end warm/humid with increased chances for thunderstorms.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 19-23)
Expecting a somewhat hotter period of weather with an occasional risk for showers/thunderstorms. Not a high confidence forecast at this time.

9:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 7-11)
Unsettled day today as a warm front struggles through the region while low pressure moves along it. Humidity heads up during this process. Areas of rain result, with a few pockets of heavier rain. A cold front will cross the region Saturday but with more limited moisture to work with the coverage of any showers/storms will be low. High pressure builds in with great weather Sunday. A warm front approaches Monday followed by a cold front Tuesday, but this time the warm front may be less active and the cold front more active. Time will tell.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely, some heavy. Chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 70-77. Wind variable to S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Slight chance of showers. Humid. Lows 62-68. Wind light S to SW.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 17-21)
Trend to drier and hotter weather expected.

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 6-10)
High pressure slips offshore today, still a nice day but you’ll notice an increase in high cloudiness at times and some increase in humidity. As a warm front moves into the region tonight and a ripple of low pressure moves along it and through the region early Friday, humidity and rain chances go up. It remains to be seen where the heaviest rain will track, but timing appears to be morning to early afternoon Friday. Then the humidity is in for the remainder of Friday through early Saturday, so a pop up shower or storm is possible during this time, but a cold front is due to pass through the region early Saturday followed by a secondary trough during the midday of Saturday. Though a shower or thunderstorm is possible a couple times during Saturday, the activity is likely to be more isolated due to the lack of moisture available for more widespread shower activity. High pressure will move in for a great ending to the weekend. The next system may be on the doorstep by the start of next week.
TODAY: Sun filtered at times by high clouds. More humid. Highs 78-86, coolest South Coast. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Risk of showers after midnight. Humid. Lows 62-69. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely, some heavy. Chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 70-77. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms morning and midday. Lowering humidity. Lows 63-70. Highs 75-83.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 60-68. Highs 80-88, cooler South Coast.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Lows 60-68. Highs 75-84.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 11-15)
A fairly “typical” summer week with moderate to at times higher humidity and several opportunities for showers/thunderstorms. Temperatures variable but averaging near normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 16-20)
Trend to drier and hotter weather expected.

10:15AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 5-9)
High pressure brings another bright, warm, dry summer day today, then slips offshore allowing humidity to increase Thursday. A trough moving in from the west Friday will add showers and thunderstorms to the mix, but it currently looks like this will progress quickly enough
for improving weather early in the weekend and generally very nice weather for the balance of it.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-83, coolest at the coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 56-63. Wind light variable to S.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. More humid. Highs 77-86, coolest South Coast. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Humid. Chance of showers overnight. Lows 63-70. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs in the 80s, some 70s South Coast.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with showers in the morning. Partly cloudy in the afternoon. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 10-14)
Fair, dry weather July 9. Warm front brings clouds and a shower threat July 10. Higher humidity and a risk of a few showers/thunderstorms at times July 11-13.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 14-18)
A trough to the west of the region early in the period brings humidity and a shower/thunderstorm risk before a flat ridge arrives with lower storm chances but more heat.

1:14AM

Happy Independence Day!

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 4-8)
As advertised, high pressure provides fabulous weather for the USA’s birthday today, and then continues it tomorrow as well. After that, the high slips offshore and humidity returns Thursday. By Friday, an approaching trough and cold front from the west will bring the risk of showers and thunderstorms, though a few days away it is difficult to know timing and frequency of these. There are indications that the front will move along swiftly enough so that a drying trend takes place on Saturday.
TODAY – INDEPENDENCE DAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Low humidity. Highs 77-85, coolest coast. Wind variable 5-15 MPH with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Evening temps in 70s. Overnight lows in 60s. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-83, coolest at the coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. More humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except some 70s South Coast.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs in the 80s, some 70s South Coast.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with showers in the morning. Partly cloudy in the afternoon. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 9-13)
Fair, dry weather July 9. Warm front brings clouds and a shower threat July 10. Higher humidity and a risk of a few showers/thunderstorms at times July 11-13.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 14-18)
A trough to the west of the region early in the period brings humidity and a shower/thunderstorm risk before a flat ridge arrives with lower storm chances but more heat.

7:06AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 3-7)
A weak disturbance passes northwest to southeast across the region today with the bulk of the energy to the south of New England. High pressure brings beautiful summer weather for the holiday Tuesday as well as Wednesday, then moves offshore and humidity returns later in the week, along with the risk for showers and thunderstorms.
TODAY: 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.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. 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.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. More humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except some 70s South Coast.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs in the 80s, some 70s South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 8-12)
A couple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are possible over the July 8-9 weekend but don’t look for any wash-outs. Another surge of humidity arrives mid to late period with a few showers/storms possible at times.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 13-17)
Continuing to watch for a possible build of heat during this period.

8:07AM

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.

11:24AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 1-5)
July has arrived and so has the long holiday weekend. For myself, this “weekend” lasts 9 days, but there will be no vacations from the blog. Look for daily updates to continue! So let’s get to it. The feel of summer is here, and it should be, since it’s summer! But besides stating the blatantly obvious, let’s just go into what’s coming up. Humid southwesterly air flow ahead of a cold front continues today, and there may be a few isolated pop up showers/downpours. There were a few earlier in parts of CT and southern MA. But these will be very limited during the day. Most of the activity is up over the mountains to lakes region in northern and central New England during today. This, along with other storms that develop to the west, will try to get into the region tonight but will probably encounter less favorable conditions and weaken. Nevertheless, with many fireworks displays scheduled in various towns and cities tonight, it will be important to monitor current conditions and short term expectations. The cold front responsible for the storms, or lack-thereof, will push through the region Sunday morning and set up fabulous weather for the remainder of the Sunday, as well as Monday through Wednesday, and this of course includes the Independence Day holiday itself on Tuesday. The only little interruption could come in a few locations in the form of isolated afternoon showers on Monday as some chilly air passes through at high levels and makes the atmosphere slightly unstable for a few hours.
TODAY: Partly sunny and hazy. Some fog/low clouds South Coast. Isolated showers and brief downpours possible. Humid. Highs 77-85 South Coast, 86-91 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, favoring areas north and west of Boston and mainly late. Humid. Lows 64-72. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny morning with isolated to scattered showers. Mostly sunny afternoon. Lowering humidity. Highs 78-86 South Coast, 87-93 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 58-65. Wind WNW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of isolated afternoon showers. Highs 78-86. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. 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.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 6-10)
High pressure builds offshore and humidity increases along with the risk of a few showers and thunderstorms at times July 6-7. A weak trough follows this and may bring slightly cooler/drier air in by the weekend of July 8-9 before warm air attempts a come-back.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 11-15)
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.

7:42AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)
Humid air arrived with a passage of a warm front and will continue into the start of the holiday weekend. A disturbance approaching the region later today will bring the chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially to southern NH and northern MA. A cold front will approach late Saturday and pass through the region during the first half of Sunday with additional shower/thunderstorm opportunities. High pressure builds with later Sunday through Tuesday with great summer weather.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible southern NH and northern MA. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 86-91 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms through late evening, favoring southern NH and the northern half of MA. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny and hazy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. Humid. Highs 78-86 South Coast, 87-93 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms, especially overnight. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy morning with a chance of showers/thunderstorms. Mostly sunny afternoon. Humid then drier late. Highs 82-92, coolest South Coast. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
TUESDAY – INDEPENDENCE DAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except cooler some coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 5-9)
Humidity returns along with a daily risk of isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 10-14)
Similar pattern continues.

7:58AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 29-JULY 3)
Quick forecast update. Discussion later.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. More humid late. Highs 75-83. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated thunderstorms favoring southern NH and northern MA late. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light SW.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, some of which may be strong. Humid. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 86-92 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Slight chance of thunderstorms, favoring the late night. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to middle 70s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s South Coast and upper 80s to lower 90s elsewhere.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely in the morning and midday, diminishing thereafter. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to middle 70s. Highs in the 80s except cooler South Coast.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 4-8)
High pressure dominates Tuesday July 4 with drier and seasonably warm summer weather based on current timing. Increasing humidity again July 5-8 with a risk of a few showers and thunderstorms at times as a southwesterly flow returns.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 9-13)
Some uncertainty continues. Current thinking is fairly muggy weather with occasional showers and thunderstorms, but no long-lasting rain, during this period.

6:45AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 28-JULY 2)
A light westerly will try to bring a sunny, mild, and dry early summer day, but lingering cold air aloft will allow clouds to pop up again, but unlike yesterday, there is not enough of a disturbance to create as many showers and thunderstorms, just a few isolated ones, favoring northern MA and southern NH. Even these areas have a low probability of seeing anything in any particular location. A warm front will push across the region Thursday, opening the door to higher humidity by the end of the day and continuing for the last day of June on Friday and the beginning of July and the start of the holiday weekend, which is loosely defined as Saturday through Tuesday this time.
TODAY: Sunny into late morning then partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms favoring northern MA and southern NH this afternoon. Highs 75-83. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 58-64. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. More humid late. Highs 75-83. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated thunderstorms favoring southern NH and northern MA late. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light SW.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, some of which may be strong. Humid. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 86-92 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Slight chance of thunderstorms, favoring the late night. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to middle 70s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s South Coast and upper 80s to lower 90s elsewhere.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely in the morning and midday, diminishing thereafter. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to middle 70s. Highs in the 80s except cooler South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 3-7)
High pressure moves in for Monday July 3 and Tuesday July 4 with drier and seasonably warm summer weather based on current timing. Increasing humidity again July 5-7 with a risk of a few showers and thunderstorms at times as a southwesterly flow returns.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 8-12)
Some uncertainty so a low confidence forecast here. Current thinking is fairly muggy weather with occasional showers and thunderstorms, but no long-lasting rain, during this period.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 27-JULY 1)
Discussion later. Quick forecast update.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Showers eastern CT, western RI, south central to southeastern MA for a time this morning. Isolated to scattered midday and afternoon showers/thunderstorms, some strong storms possible. Highs 77-84. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy evening with scattered showers/thunderstorms. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 58-64. Wind light SW to W.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy morning with a risk of isolated showers favoring Cape Cod, then mostly sunny. Highs 77-84. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Risk of a shower/thunderstorm at night. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of isolated thunderstorms. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the middle 80s to lower 90s, cooler South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 2-6)
Showers/thunderstorms Sunday July 2, favoring the morning. Mainly dry July 3-4. A few showers/thunderstorms at times July 5-6 but otherwise mainly dry. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 7-11)
Warm to hot, isolated showers/thunderstorms but mainly dry otherwise July 7-8. Better chance of showers/storms later in the period.

6:03AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 26-30)
The final 5 days of June, and they go something like this… Broad trough ignites diurnal clouds today but showers should stay mainly to the north. A disturbance coming along later Tuesday will bring a better shot at showers and a few thunderstorms, and this should depart Wednesday which turns out drier. Upper low exits and weak ridge moves in Thursday but progressive flow allows a warm front to cross the region Thursday night and early Friday, which may bring a shower or thunderstorm. We will be in a fairly unstable and more humid southwesterly flow Friday so additional storms may be possible. Will have to watch this although it’s too far away for any detail.
TODAY: Sunny start, then a sun/cloud mix. Isolated shower or thunderstorm possible mainly southern NH. Highs 76-83, coolest Cape Cod. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 57-64. Wind light WSW.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs 77-84. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy evening with scattered showers/thunderstorms. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 58-64. Wind light SW to W.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy morning with a risk of isolated showers favoring Cape Cod, then mostly sunny. Highs 77-84. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Risk of a shower/thunderstorm at night. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 1-5)
A few episodes of showers/thunderstorms possible over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday July 1 and 2 but not looking for any washouts. Generally dry weather expected for the “extended weekend” Monday through Wednesday July 3 through 5. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-5 (JULY 6-10)
Warm to hot, isolated showers/thunderstorms but mainly dry otherwise July 6-8. Better chance of showers/storms later in the period.

10:46AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 25-29)
No significant changes on this short update. Will basically press repeat on the discussion to remind you of the mostly nice weather but cooling trend as a broad trough moves through during the next several days. This trough will carry a few disturbances in it, but generally will ignite diurnal clouds and the risk of isolated showers. A more potent disturbance Tuesday night into early Wednesday may bring a more organized round of showers, based on current timing. This trough should be beyond the region by Thursday with a flat ridge moving in resulting in fair and much warmer weather. Will re-evaluate again and a more comprehensive outlook for the last 5 days of June and the “July 4th Weekend” will be on the next update.
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny with a slight risk of isolated showers afternoon. Highs 78-85. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Mostly clear overnight. Lows 56-63. Wind light NW.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of a shower. Highs 77-85. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Showers mainly at night. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy early with showers, then partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs in the 80s except some 70s coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)
A zonal (west to east) flow dominates. A disturbance somewhere around the middle of the period may bring a few showers/thunderstorms otherwise expected mainly dry weather with temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 5-9)
A similar pattern is expected to continue during this period as well.
