DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 9-13)
Today’s weather will feature abundant cloud cover between a front that sits to our south and high pressure over Atlantic Canada. The result is a broad but weak onshore (easterly) air flow. This will keep temperatures on the cooler side of normal with highs in the 60s and while dew point temps are sub-60, it feels slightly humid as the dp & temperature will not be that far apart. We will see some spotty light showers from mid level clouds as a weak trough moves eastward through the region in a westerly flow aloft, but this will also be battling a bit of dry air trying to move down from that Atlantic Canada, which can thin / break the clouds for a little sun at times. Clouds thicken tonight as the front to the south advances northward as a warm front, and a couple areas of light rainfall may be generated by this process. Tuesday we find ourselves in the warm sector after that front goes by and prior to the arrival of a cold front from the west. An increase in low level moisture in this air mass and a disturbance moving in aloft will trigger showers and possible thunderstorms, a few which can contain downpours, but it will not rain for the entirety of the day – probably under 50% of the time in any given location. As surface low pressure passes to our north, the cold front will move through Tuesday night, putting an end to the shower and thunderstorm threat. If you’ve been following the blog, you’ve seen me mention the “warmer behind the cold front” synoptic set-up for midweek, and that’s exactly what we’ll have. While we have what is technically by definition a continental polar air mass, originating in Canada, arriving behind that cold front, it will be modified by passing over warmed land and also get a further boost from the down slope effect off the hills and mountains to our west. This results in fair, warm weather but lower dew points Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, a front will move through the region from the north and I remain of the meteorological opinion that this process will be quicker and stronger than some guidance indications. This front will bring the threat of some passing showers and possibly a thunderstorm to end the work week, but the coverage / intensity will depend on the timing.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy – maybe thinning for a bit of sun at times, but also a stray shower or two possible. Highs 63-70, coolest coast. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clouds thicken. Showers arrive overnight. Lows 55-62. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 68-75. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening. Clearing overnight. Patchy fog early. Lows 55-62. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 78-85. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 56-63. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 78-85. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 56-63. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers, possibly a thunderstorm. Highs 73-80. Wind W 10-20 MPH, gusty, shifting to N.
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 14-18)
Current call on June 14-15 weekend: High pressure pressure far enough south from eastern Canada to keep our region rain-free but cooler, though there may be some variable amounts of cloud cover due to high and mid level moisture streaming along west to east just to our south. Watching for the arrival and passage of a trough and low pressure at some point the first half of next week – leaning toward June 17 for the most likely wet day.
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 19-23)
Indications for the general large scale pattern point to a middle US high pressure ridge and more of a west northwesterly air flow in our region with a weak trough being the main feature. This allows a couple disturbances / fronts with shower / thunderstorm threats to pass by – timing uncertain. Variable temperatures but averaging fairly close to normal for the period. Summer Solstice: 10:54 p.m. June 20.

Good morning and thank you TK.
59 here this morning.
So, 2 more crap days. When will the crap end???????
Spring sucks in Eastern NE.
You can coat it any way you like, but Spring here is miserable Makes one really appreciate a nice day as I always do.
Yesterday was cool. We took out sweatshirts in the morning with the low clouds.
I don’t know if it happened near Boston, but about 2pm, the low clouds cleared out and the sun came out and for a bit, the sun was still high in the sky and we had to take our sweatshirts off.
Then, the breeze really freshened (we were down by the CC Canal) and it really cooled off.
Sun didn’t come out until about 5 PM. There were peeks of sun in the AM, but all afternoon it was cloudy with the temperature dropping. Almost made 70 by about 11 am and then by 4PM it was down to 63.
We had sun the majority of yesterday.
No wonder you thought it was a nice day. Simply NOT the case here. 🙂
Thanks TK !
Good school weather today and tomorrow. 🙂
I love the look of Wednesday/Thursday along with maybe some really red sunrises and sunsets.
Yeah, that about all it is good for….
Thanks TK!
Last Saturday we attended a wedding at sunrise, 5:01am, on Cathedral Ledge in North Conway, NH. Miraculously, the weather cooperated. It was pouring on the drive up there Friday evening and most of Saturday. But at sunrise there was fog and no rain.
This is 25 minutes after sunrise as the fog started to clear:

This is 45 minutes after sunrise down below the ledge at Echo Lake:

Pacific NW looking at some short term hot weather under a ridge.
Will be watching southern, western provinces of Canada for fires potentially blossoming the next couple days.
Thanks, TK. Hope you are feeling better today.
We will be taking our kitty to the vet tomorrow around 8:30 a.m. Any ideas if it will be raining around that time?

This is just one simulation and not guaranteed to be correct. It says steady rain has not arrived yet, but perhaps drizzly.
Hope it holds off for you and hope your cat is good !!
Thanks, Tom!
Best wishes to your kitty !!
Thanks TK

I haven’t been reading here for a few days, so I apologize if this was already posted.
This explains why my son’s Friday morning commute through Ayer was a mess:
https://www.wcvb.com/article/wild-storm-downs-trees-wires-leaving-main-roads-impassable-in-ayer/64992956
We had hardly any wind at all at our house seven miles away.
Wow. So glad no one was injured. But what a mess.
Thank you. How’s Wordle? Some interesting words recently
Do you consider “admin” to be a real word?
🙂
Thanks, TK.
Working on feeling better…
It’s a good thing I don’t voice text my blog. It’d have been gibberish.
Oh boy. Feel better soon.
Thanks, TK!
Feel better soon!
Surprised that nobody has mention this yet, but today is the 72nd anniversary of the Worcester Tornado.
https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8dec0fc339414c92b873c3709981fd51
Hmmm I’d forgotten I was alive when it occurred
Thanks SAK. I’m surprised that Jimmy wasn’t on top of this. Still a few years before I was born. The reading is very good detail as to what happened.
I SHOULD Have, by my mind has been elsewhere.
I was living at Norwood at the time and was 6 years old.
I remember walking on the side walk in front of my house and pieces of roof shingles had fallen from the sky. That’s a long way from Worcester, for sure.
Wow. My mom told me stories about it.
I was eventually getting there. Whatever I have is giving me a serious beatdown. As soon s the tylenol wears off – miserable.
Thanks for posting this! I’m largely taking the rest of today off. Might pop in here and there. 🙂
Hope you feel better!
BREAKING NEWS:
Roman Anthony called up by the Red Sox, will be batting 5th against the Rays tonight.
2025 joins only 4 other years in the satellite era (1973, 1983, and 2016) to make it to June 9 without a single named storm in the Western North Pacific.
This day in weather history the 1953 F4 Worcester tornado. It was on the ground for 84 miles.
Thank you, JimmyJames!
SClarke. To the above, i got it but only because I was looking for letter placement. To me it is an abbreviation.
These are my third and fourth guesses several days ago. Three was looking for letter placement also. I found the Meaning but was shocked when it was accepted as a word.
https://ibb.co/fzm8JLfZ
That’s a weird looking word!
I think they are getting very weird.
In a post from above, TK mentioned 3 summers, 1973, 1983 and 2016 joining this year as making it to June 9th without a named storm in the west Pacific.
Those were summers that had a LOT of 90F degree days at Logan and some of them well into the 90s.
I seem to recall 1989 one year give or take. We have a pic of mac sitting in the kiddie pool wit three kids
I was not alive but from comments made on the blog over the years I would say the summer of 1983 was the worst when it came to heat.
I remember 1983 well, and I concur.
Also, if I’m not mistaken that summer had the most 90 degree days for Boston.
I know at BDL where the records are kept for inland CT 1983 had the most 90 degree plus days with 38 until 2020 when 40 90 degree plus days happened.
I was in my first trimester with our son. No AC. It was just ugh
We have Hurricane Barbara, destined to last a handful of hours.

Fog, mist, drizzle here in Quincy. Another nice early evening in June. 😉
Sigh.
It’s beautiful out there. 🙂 I stood outside for a few because I took Tylenol, it broke my fever, and I was hot … felt great! hahaha
Hope you are doing better
So far, not really … drugged up and resting, but these things tend to turn quickly for me, so it could improve at any moment.
Hope so . Game #3 about to start I know you’ll like that .
A jeopardy question. Were I on the panel I would have said %@&$#%%

What is “Murky”? 🙂
Inclement.
But I like JPDs description best I think.
Just got a pop up for dense fog advisory tonight
Already seeing some frogs here
Take care, TK.
I still barely have a voice. That might be permanent. I hope not. But it’s been 10 days. Oh well, I don’t recover quickly from respiratory illnesses. The good news is that I feel pretty good.
Denzel Clarke (Oakland A’s, well, Sacramento A’s) is quite the fielder and athlete. He’s made two sensational catches this week:

So far the night is clear. Assume fog will roll in later
