DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 3-7)

A warm front approaches today with lots of clouds and some shower activity. The best support for most widespread rainfall is near the South Coast and especially Cape Cod through midday today. Any other area may see a few showers but expect activity elsewhere to be somewhat limited. The warm front crosses the region tonight with isolated to scattered showers and perhaps a thunderstorm, but again the highest coverage may be closer to the South Coast. We’ll be in the warm sector post warm front and pre cold front on Friday with a southwesterly air flow and higher humidity with lots of clouds and the chance of passing showers at any time, though again it looks like any one location will be rain-free most of the time. A weakening cold front will finally make it across the region Friday evening when one more shower or thunderstorm is possible from a diminishing line that forms to the west during the day but weakens as it moves across the WHW forecast area. That front, or what’s left of it, will lift back across the region early Saturday with some cloudiness, and then the door will be open to the arrival of much warmer air from the west as a ridge of high pressure takes over both at the surface and aloft with a westerly air flow. So Saturday turns out in the 80s for most (70s for Cape) and Sunday upper 80s to lower 90s for most with your cooler spots in the typical areas like Cape Cod, and right now it looks like the heat peaks on Monday with lower to middle 90s away from ocean influences, but this could be held back by some spill over cloudiness that arrives from thunderstorm activity in the Midwest, something that is not unusual to see in this pattern at this time of year. Either way, Monday should still have the feel of mid summer despite it being early June and still technically spring.

TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Numerous showers and possibly a thunderstorm South Coast, scattered to isolated showers elsewhere. Highs 70-77. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower or thunderstorm. Patchy fog. Lows 58-65. More humid – dew point upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Highs 72-79. Humid – dew point lower 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to W.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 58-65. Slightly drier – dew point upper 50s. Wind W under 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy early, then mostly sunny. Highs 80-87, cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Slightly more humid – dew point near 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog in lower elevations. Lows 61-68. Humid – dew point near 60. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 86-93, cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. More humid – dew point lower 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog mostly interior lower elevations. Lows 65-72. Humid – dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 88-95, cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Humid – dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 7-10 (JUNE 8-12)

The axis of the upper ridge should shift westward enough to allow a back door cold front down from eastern Canada June 8-9 (exact timing uncertain) with mostly dry weather but somewhat cooler air arriving. Battle between high pressure in eastern Canada and the attempted return of warm/humid air may cause episodes of unsettled weather June 10-12.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 13-17)

Expecting a mostly zonal (west to east) flow pattern with variable temperatures and a couple shower threats as a frontal boundary will often be nearby.

  3. The WBZ radio news anchors are at it again.
    “A tropical air mass has moved in. It’s very humid across the region this morning.”

    Meanwhile, the dew points are sitting in the middle 50s. That’s dry.

  10. Thanks TK. Sun trying to make an appearance along with some rain drops. The DP is 60 and humidity 90%. I know we don’t mention humidity but even with an air temp of 63, it feels wet out here.

  16. When they work on the sensor at Logan again, can they come down to the Marshfield airport and spend some time on that sensor too ? Surrounding dps 64F to 65F while its reporting a 70F dewpoint. The ob down here has been off for years and years.

    1. I never bought The Power Station albums (the 2 they made), but I enjoy listening to them on Spotify!

      Two MTV 1985 staples from that first album…including the one you posted.

  18. Hi everyone I was asked an interesting question. With all these major hacks going on and shutting down. Does the NCEP/NOAA have anything protecting the weather data for the weather models/Radar? I can only imagine the mess if these things got hacked.

    1. You mean such as the pipeline hack? I don’t understand how every major area is not backed up. But then I absolutely don’t have enough knowledge to know how that works.

        1. they have gone after data and equipment and a new hack just happened on an Atlanta Metro media station as well. All have been linked to affiliates of Russia mainly but also China.

  19. Watching the Mr Tornado now. I didn’t realize it was sponsored by MA dept of education for grades 6-12
