Apologies for the very late update, which was due to circumstances beyond my control. 🙂

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 20-24)…
My original intent was to make this a longer post than it will turn out, but since it’s so late we’ll just jump to a quick summary and forecast update and reset for tomorrow’s update! With much of today done, you’ve seen that it has felt like summer as the final hours of spring go by. This is due to high pressure in control both surface and aloft. As expected, a low pressure system stayed far offshore and did not impact the region adversely, though had it brought beneficial rain that would have been a positive thing, as much of the region is now borderline or in moderate drought. One shot of rain on Tuesday will be minimized as the cold front is going to come through at the time when heating is near minimum and shower/thunderstorms development is much less likely. High pressure takes control again midweek though a trough in the upper levels and northwest flow at lower levels will make it slightly cooler. The next shot at rain comes Thursday as a wave of low pressure moves eastward, but it still has about a 50/50 shot at passing too far south to bring significant rain into all of the region. For now I’m going to lean toward the wet event but it being on the light side. By Friday, high pressure will be back with dry weather and another brief cooler shot of air.
THROUGH SUNSET: Sunshine and some high clouds. Temperatures 70s coast, 80s interior. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly southwestern NH, central MA, and eastern CT after 2AM. Lows in the 60s. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy in the morning with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly southeastern NH, eastern MA, and RI through mid morning. Clearing in the afternoon. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain, especially southern areas. Lows from the middle to upper 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the lower to middle 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 25-29)…
The weekend of June 25-26 will turn warmer with dry weather. June 27 is likely to be fair, warm, and more humid. June 28-29 carries the chance of showers and thunderstorms with warm/humid conditions.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)…
Brief isolated showers and thunderstorms may occur a couple times otherwise a pattern of mainly dry weather and near to above normal temperatures is expected.

11:04AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 19-23)…
And after having a 12 hour window of the PM hours on Tuesday, today I make an adjustment back slightly to account for the increasing chance of a morning to early afternoon cold frontal passage on Tuesday. This would limit the risk for showers and thunderstorms. Will monitor for any changes. Otherwise, high pressure remains dominant today and Monday. Low pressure passes well offshore late Monday and early Tuesday with no impact, then after the cold front a low pressure trough at upper levels and northwest flow at lower levels will deliver some slightly cooler and dry air for Wednesday. A disturbance may come along as early as later Thursday with a risk of some unsettled weather but there is also a shot this system misses to the south late in the week.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the upper 70s South Coast and Cape Cod to the 80s elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 60s. Wind light SW.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the upper 70s to upper 80s, coolest South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms from morning through early afternoon. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 24-28)…
Slight wet weather risk early or middle part of June 24 depending on the track of a disturbance. Fair weather most of the June 25-26 weekend with a warming trend, but a risk of a few showers and thunderstorms late in the weekend. Fair June 27. Showers/thunderstorms possible June 28.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 29-JULY 3)…
A mostly dry pattern with limited showers/thunderstorm chances. Temperatures near to above normal.

8:13AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 18-22)…
No significant changes today. Still the only rain risk this period comes Tuesday with the passage of a cold front, the timing of which is being slowly nailed down and we now have a 12 hour window of between noon and midnight on Tuesday. Upper level low pressure will indeed stay offshore through Monday far enough to be of essentially no influence and high pressure will be the controlling force until Tuesday’s front arrives, along with a general warming trend. Another high pressure area will move in behind the front with dry weather Wednesday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s but cooling down at the coast during the afternoon. Wind light N to E.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows from the lower 50s interior to upper 50s coast. Wind light SE to S.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the upper 70s South Coast and Cape Cod to the 80s elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 60s. Wind light SW.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the upper 70s to upper 80s, coolest South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms from late morning through afternoon. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s to lower 90s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 23-27)…
A disturbance will bring a chance of some wet weather later June 23 into June 24 with cooling temperatures. Mainly fair and warming temperatures June 25-27.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 28-JULY 2)…
Risk of a few showers/thunderstorms early in the period then trending drier again. Temperatures near to above normal.

1:57AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 17-21)…
High pressure will dominate through at least Sunday and possibly Monday, as low pressure gets pushed well to the south and cuts off, then makes an attempted and probably failed run northward late in the period. It looks like our only rain threat during this 5-day period will be from a cold front moving into the region on Tuesday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the lower to middle 70s. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows from the upper 40s interior valleys to upper 50s shorelines and urban areas. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s but cooling down at the coast during the afternoon. Wind light N to E.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows from the lower 50s interior to upper 50s coast. Wind light SE to S.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the upper 70s South Coast and Cape Cod to the 80s elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 22-26)…
Fair and mild June 22. The next disturbance brings a shower threat later June 23 into June 24 with a cooling trend. Fair with a warming trend June 25-26.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 27-JULY 1)…
Risk of a few showers/thunderstorms early in the period then trending drier again. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:36AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 16-20)…
High pressure will be in control through Sunday. Elongated low pressure will slide out south of the region through tonight with some high cloudiness. This low cuts off well offshore and eventually may drift close enough to bring some cloudiness and possibly a shower risk in by Monday.
TODAY: Filtered sunshine. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s. Wind light N with sea breeze developing.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs from the lower to middle 70s. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 80s.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs 70s coast, 80s interior.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 21-25)…
A broad trough of low pressure will traverse the northeastern US sending a couple fronts through the region with air mass changes and a few rounds of showers and thunderstorms. This may sound like a wet forecast, but rain may be quite limited overall. Temperatures not far from normal overall.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 26-30)…
The final days of the month still look like they will present limited shower/thunderstorm chances and mainly dry weather. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:23AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 15-19)…
High pressure will be in control through the period. Elongated low pressure will slide out south of the region later Thursday to early Friday with some high cloudiness, and that will be about the most eventful weather there is during this 5 day period.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 50s. Wind light N.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s. Wind light N with sea breezes developing.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the lower to middle 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 20-24)…
High pressure gives way to a broad trough this period and also have to watch for some moisture trying to come northward from an old low pressure area to the south. A few episodes of showers and thunderstorms are possible, favoring late June 20 to early June 21 and later June 23 to early June 24, based on current timing.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 25-29)…
Limited shower/thunderstorm chances, largely dry. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 14-18)…
Upper level low pressure slowly elongates and drifts to the southeast and south of New England the next few days as high pressure builds north of the region. This will allow for fair weather but still with a lack of heat, though it will be somewhat warmer through midweek before cooling down slightly late in the week. A surface low pressure system will be stretched out southwest of the region later Thursday and will bring some cloudiness into the region at that time with rain most likely staying southwest and south of New England.
TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs in the 70s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows in the 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs around 80.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows around 60. Highs around 80.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 19-23)…
High pressure will dominate with dry and warmer weather June 19 to end the weekend. We’ll watch an old low pressure area to the south that may send at least some moisture northward with a risk of showers at some point during June 20-23 with temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 24-28)…
Flat ridge of high pressure centered in the Midwestern States pushes the jet stream further north and allows more persistent warmth but with a few disturbances producing brief episodes of showers and thunderstorms among otherwise mainly dry weather. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:18AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 13-17)…
Cold pool of air continues to sink southeastward and will sit just east of New England for a couple more days before finally sinking southward and elongating into the eastern Middle Atlantic States as high pressure ridging builds across the Great Lakes and nearby Canada later in the week. There are no significant changes to the forecast posted yesterday, so onto its update.
TODAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Brief passing showers possible southern NH and northeastern MA late day. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind N 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly to partly cloudy. Brief passing shower possible eastern MA early. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs in the 70s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs around 80.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows around 60. Highs around 80.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 18-22)…
High pressure will dominate during the weekend with fair and warming weather here as low pressure hangs out well to the south of New England. A rapidly weakening version of this low will drift northward and may bring a few showers to the region June 20-22 with near to above normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 23-27)…
Flat ridge of high pressure centered in the Midwestern States pushes the jet stream further north and allows more persistent warmth but with a few disturbances producing brief episodes of showers and thunderstorms among otherwise mainly dry weather. Temperatures near to above normal.

10:41AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 12-16)…
The cool pattern is entering its final days but will be reinforced once again by a cold front charging across the region this morning. This front is moisture-starved, so only some cloudiness is about all it can muster up. An isolated shower may result but most areas will see nothing. More cloudiness will wheel in from the north later in the day as a broad pool of cold air aloft circulates its southwestern side across New England while the center passes northeast of the area. This cold pool will be east of New England Monday into Tuesday so we’ll still be under its influence, especially Monday, which will be a breezy and cool day with some cloudiness around at times and perhaps even a couple passing showers over southern NH and northeastern Massachusetts especially from late afternoon into evening. Any of this activity should be well offshore Tuesday. As we get to midweek, high pressure will become established and bring warmer, sunnier days.
TODAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. A few isolated showers possible. Temperatures cool from the 70s to the 60s. Wind W shifting to NW 15-25 MPH with gusts 30-40 MPH at times.
TONIGHT: Mostly to partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Wind NW to N 10-20 MPH with gusts to 30 MPH or higher at times.
MONDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Brief passing showers possible southern NH and northeastern MA late day. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind N 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 40s interior valleys to middle 50s coastal/urban areas. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs around 80.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows around 60. Highs around 80.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 17-21)…
The pattern during this period will feature a final attempt at a cool-down to start the period as a trough axis is pushed southward across New England on June 17, then replaced by a growing ridge of high pressure from northwest to southeast for the remainder of the period. This transitional time will start with some cloudiness at times on June 17 then sunshine dominating for several days thereafter. Temperatures will start the period near to below normal and end up above normal for the last 3 days of it.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 22-26)…
Early summer heat June 22-23, tempered by a cold front around June 24-25 briefly, but limited moisture will limit rainfall. Fair again by the end of the period.

11:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 11-15)…
A warm front approaches today. A weakening complex of storms, in the form of mainly elevated-base rain showers, will cross southern New England this afternoon as the border of warmer air nears. This warm air will arrive tonight for a short stay, limiting the temperature drop and increasing the humidity. We’ll have to watch for a couple isolated showers or thunderstorms forming and moving across parts of the region during the night, but this seems most likely in far western MA and western to south central CT. On Sunday, we’ll be shown that the fairly frequent visits of cool air are not quite done yet, as a cold front will whistle through from northwest to southeast in the morning. The timing of this front is not such that big storms will be likely as it will come well before the time of maximum heating from the sun, and also much of the support for storms will have moved away before the front arrives, so will just call for an isolated shower in the morning-midday then a windy, dry, cool afternoon with a sun/cloud mix and possibly an additional instability shower especially southern NH and northern MA later in the day. Monday will continue that breezy and cool theme before it relaxes a little on Tuesday (similar to the Thursday/Friday set-up from this week). Wednesday looks like a dry and warmer day as high pressure takes control.
TODAY: Clouds thicken through early afternoon followed by areas of rain which will be variable in nature with the better chance southwest of Boston and lesser chance toward southeastern NH, then clouds may thin by early evening but risk of an isolated shower or thunderstorm at that time too. Highs from near 70 coast to upper 70s interior. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Sun/cloud intervals. Isolated showers possible morning and midday and again late day. Highs around 70 by midday but cooling in the afternoon. Wind W to NW increasing to 15-30 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a risk of isolated showers. Lows in the 50s. Wind NW to N 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs in the 60s. Wind N 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs around 70.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 16-20)…
Mainly dry with a trend to near to above normal temperatures by the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 21-25)…
A couple disturbances bring brief shower/thunderstorm threats otherwise overall pattern is likely to be dry with near to above normal temperatures.

3:38AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 10-14)…
As we enter the middle of June, we continue in the pattern of holding the heat well back to the west of New England while a series of troughs swinging through the Northeast hold the temperatures generally lower than seasonal averages. A very fast-flowing jet stream will be nearby or over New England during this time, and will play a role in this weekend’s forecast. First though, we start with today being a similar day to yesterday in that we’ll see a sun/cloud mix, dry and cool air, and a gusty breeze, though not nearly as strong as it was yesterday. Energy coming over the top of a ridge in central Canada will ride the jet stream rapidly southeastward into New England this weekend. As warm air tries to advance in but is deflected mainly southwest of New England, cloudiness and some passing wet weather is probable on Saturday. The uncertainty is how far eastward any rain will be and exact timing, though I favor midday to late afternoon. We’ll barely get into the warmer air briefly for the early hours of Sunday, but it will really be noticeable in terms of an increase in humidity for a few hours and not so much in terms of actual warmth as it will coincide with the time of minimal heating in the overnight to early morning hours. A cold front will drop through the region by the middle of Sunday with passing showers or thunderstorms possible ahead of it. Behind this front another shot of cool air along with windy conditions will overtake the region later Sunday and continue on Monday into Tuesday as low pressure intensifies over the Canadian Maritimes.
TODAY: Isoalted early-morning light showers, otherwise cloud/sun mix. Highs from middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind W 5-15 MPH but may turn onshore immediate coast by afternoon.
TONIGHT: Decreasing clouds. Lows from middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Increasing clouds. Passing showers and a slight risk of thunderstorms northwest to southeast midday and afternoon. Highs from upper 60s to middle 70s. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. More humid. Lows from upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy through midday with isolated to scattered showers and a slight risk of thunderstorms. Mostly sunny afternoon. Humid early, then drying. Highs from upper 60s to middle 70s. Wind W to NW increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs around 70.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 15-19)…
A brief blocking pattern will set up with a trough slowly dropping southward through the northeastern US as a ridge builds in central to east central Canada then starts to push the trough southeastward by the end of the period. This pattern will result in below normal temperatures with one or two disturbances bringing a shower risk during the June 15-17 period followed by dry weather and a potential rapid warm-up at the very end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 20-24)…
Upper level high pressure is expected to dominate with a dry pattern and temperatures near to above normal during much of this period, but the jet stream close enough means a disturbance may arrive with a risk of showers/thunderstorms at some point later in the period.

2:05AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 9-13)…
Two cool days courtesy a northwest flow and a trough of low pressure over New England. The trough will result in occasional cloudiness, but there will not be enough instability or moisture around for any shower activity across southern New England through Friday. An approaching disturbance from the Great Lakes will turn the wind more southwesterly Saturday, allowing it to warm up somewhat, but cloudiness will also eventually dominate and this may lead to some shower activity at night or early Sunday. During Sunday, a cold front will sweep through the region from northwest to southeast, and send another unseasonably cool air mass into the region for Monday as the trough sharpens up just east of the region again. In fact, low pressure forming on the cold front after it goes by may intensify fairly rapidly offshore, almost like a cold season system, aiding in the delivery of cool air, but probably too far out for any wet weather.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind NW 15-25 MPH with gusts 30-40 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows upper 40s to lower 50s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with gusts around 30 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows middle 40s valleys to lower 50s coast. Wind light W.
SATURDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Risk of showers at night. Highs in the 70s.
SUNDAY: Cloudy to partly sunny and breezy. Risk of showers through midday. Lows in the 50s. Highs around 70.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy and windy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 14-19)…
Low pressure offshore may keep it quite cool and breezy with at least some cloudiness Tuesday June 14. Dry weather is expected to dominate the remainder of the period with below normal temperatures at first, moderating to near normal by the end of the period (June 18-19 weekend).

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 20-24)…
Pattern re-configures itself to eventually let high pressure dominate the upper levels, centered in the Midwest but pushing the jet stream further north and allowing some warm to hot weather to push eastward and push temperatures to near to above normal levels with mainly dry
weather, just a couple episodes of showers/thunderstorms possible depending on the track of passing disturbances.

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 8-12)…
Sun starts the day but clouds will arrive and others will develop during the day as a disturbance approaches from the west northwest. The main thrust of this disturbance will be across CT, RI, and southern MA, where the most widespread shower and thunderstorm activity is expected, but scattered showers/storms will form elsewhere due to very cold air aloft making it unstable. Though severe storms are not expected, the cold air aloft will make it possible for small hail to occur in some showers/storms. Things quiet down tonight but then we’re set up for a couple fair but very cool days Thursday and Friday. This weekend, a disturbance will dive out of the Great Lakes, likely passing just southwest of New England but close enough for the risk of some unsettled weather by later Saturday and especially Sunday.
TODAY: Sunshine dominates into mid morning then clouds take over. Showers and thunderstorms likely in southern areas with scattered showers and storms developing to the north. Small hail possible in some of these. Highs in the upper 60s to middle 70s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy early with any showers ending. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows in the 50s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs in the middle to upper 60s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SATURDAY: Increasing clouds. Risk of showers at night. Lows in the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 13-17)…
Risk of rain or showers at times as we’ll be in a boundary zone between cool air hanging on over New England and the Canadian Maritimes and building heat in the Midwest.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 18-22)…
The trend will be for a more westerly flow, a disturbance or two with a shower and thunderstorm threat, but mostly fair weather and warming temperatures.

7:38AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 7-11)…
A cold front and an upper level disturbance will set of scattered showers and thunderstorms today. A second disturbance will set off additional showers and storms Wednesday. There is a slight risk of a few severe storms today, and much less of a risk of severe storms Wednesday through some of those storms may contain small hail due to cold air aloft. Dry weather is expected Thursday and Friday, and may last at least into Saturday though we’ll have to watch a disturbance coming out of the Great Lakes by the start of the weekend.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon with a few strong storms possible. Highs in the 70s coastal locations, lower to middle 80s interior. Wind SW to S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible before midnight. Lows in the 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon, a few of which may produce small hail. Highs in the upper 60s to middle 70s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 12-16)…
Risk of rain or showers at times as we’ll be in a boundary zone between cool air hanging on over New England and the Canadian Maritimes and building heat in the Midwest.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 17-21)…
The struggle between a trough and cool weather and some building heat to the west continues early in the period with some unsettled weather and variable temperatures, and then it turns warmer to hotter later in the period.

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 6-10)…
Drying out today and quite warm on the back side of the broad low pressure area that brought yesterday’s wet weather. A trough hangs out over the Northeast this week and after today’s warmth we have a shot of showers and thunderstorms from a passing disturbance aloft and stronger cold front at the surface moving through on Tuesday. Cooler air arrives Wednesday but another potent upper level disturbance may kick off some additional showers and a few thunderstorms Wednesday, and with very cold air aloft some small hail is a possibility as well. Drier but quite cool weather is expected Thursday and Friday.
TODAY: Partly cloudy early, then mostly sunny. Highs 70s Cape Cod, 80s elsewhere (may hit 90 a few interior valley areas). Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind light W.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon with a few strong storms possible. Highs in the 70s coastal locations, lower to middle 80s interior. Wind SW to S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lingering scattered showers possible early. Lows in the 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon, a few of which may produce small hail. Highs in the upper 60s to middle 70s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 11-15)…
The weekend of June 11-12 is uncertain because of the timing of a couple disturbances moving northwest to southeast out of the Great Lakes region, and how close they will be to New England. For now will go with a risk of a couple showery periods from later June 11 into June 12 but a large portion of the weekend will likely end up rain-free with temperatures remaining generally below normal.
