DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 24-28)
A cold front will move through the region this morning and early afternoon, and running along and ahead of it are the remains of TS Cindy, bringing some significant rain to southern New England, particularly CT, RI, and southeastern MA. The front itself may bring a shower or thunderstorm as it crosses the region behind the rain area. Everything should be offshore by early afternoon, though it may take until mid afternoon to fully clear Cape Cod. The rest of the weekend will be mainly dry with lowering humidity, although there may be just enough instability on Sunday midday and afternoon to pop an isolated shower or two, but don’t cancel any outdoor plans for this remote possibility. Also, astronomically high tides through the weekend may result in some minor coastal flooding. A broad trough of low pressure will move through the region Monday through Wednesday and will bring somewhat cooler air and a few opportunities for showers.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy through early afternoon with rain, moderate to heavy at times including embedded thunder, steadiest in CT, RI, and southeastern MA, spotty and lighter to the northwest, but a risk of a heavier shower/thunderstorm crossing the region from west to east late morning through early afternoon. Decreasing clouds mid afternoon on. Humid, then drying out late. Highs 78-84 South Coast, 84-90 elsewhere. Wind variable 5-15 MPH morning, W to NW 10-20 MPH this afternoon and evening.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 57-64. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny with a slight risk of isolated showers afternoon. Highs 78-85. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: 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. Scattered showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

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 4-8)
A similar pattern is expected to continue.
