DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 7-11)

High pressure remains dominant and will do so through the weekend into early next week as it drifts to the south and we undergo a slow warm-up at first, then a spike of heat and higher humidity by Sunday and Monday. Wildfire smoke that has been with us for a few days is now on the decrease and will not be much of an issue during the next several days.

TODAY: Lingering high altitude smoke departs and sun-dimming high clouds thin out and move away with an increasing amount of sunshine. Highs 76-83, coolest coast. Dew point near 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with light coastal sea breezes.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, cooler some coastal areas. Dew point 60+. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 81-88, cooler Cape Cod / South Coast. Dew point 60+. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 62-69. Dew point 60+. Wind S to SW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 86-93, cooler South Coast. Dew point 65+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog. Lows 65-72. Dew point 65+. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 88-95, cooler South Coast. Dew point near 70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 12-16)

Heat and humidity dominate early period. A frontal boundary may bring a shower or thunderstorm around August 14 before fair, warm, less humid weather arrives later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 17-21)

The weather pattern looks fairly typical for August with dominant high pressure off the US East Coast providing warmth and higher humidity. Daily chances for pop up showers and thunderstorms, but the chance can be increased with a disturbance moving in from the west one or two times.

  6. NOT looking good for next week.

    TOO much heat and humidity. I am officially placing my order
    for Summer to END!!!! END, END,END,END!!!!

  7. Thank you TK!

    I am with JPD and am ready for summer to end. I know I am in the minority but I am a fall and even winter girl. Bring it on!

    Got super lucky with a 3 on Wordle today.

    1. Awesome three. And while I enjoy all seasons mine rank from fall to winter to spring to summer. Iā€™m with you and JPD.

  9. Thanks TK
    Last 8pm sunset tomorrow night for the year in CT! It is a little things like this that show me that the slow process of summer coming to an end is beginning.

        1. Yes, also being further east in the time zone.

          On the day we departed baddeck on cape Breton, sunset was around 8:35pm.

          We stopped at oak bay, which is 5 minutes east of Cailis, ME and about as west as you can get in the Atlantic time zone and sunset was at 8:59pm. It was nuts, but their sunrise was at around 6:20am.

  10. Here is what I found.
    The latitude difference between Boston, Massachusetts, and Connecticut is approximately 1.13 degrees. Boston’s latitude is around 42Ā°22ā€²N, and Connecticut’s latitude is roughly 41Ā°36ā€²N

  11. Out and about.

    Itā€™s so nice to be able to differentiate in the sky.

    Much bluer today and I can also see the clouds.

    I found the last 3 days of the sky were so strange with all that smoke, plus the high clouds plus we had some low clouds off the ocean which were so difficult to see. Yesterday was almost a dark day down here in marshfield.

    1. I agree Tom – I hate to say it but all the smoke and high clouds created a ā€œsummer doldrumā€ affect for me.

  13. I donā€™t think it will be the hottest temps we have seen this summer, but I wonder if it could be the longest, sustained stretch of warm to hot weather this year, especially away from the immediate coast, starting Sunday.

    1. Could be. I see some models projecting 850 MB temps of 21C
      which could “potentially” support a high temperature of 97.
      If that came to be, That is too close to the hot weather we had previously. Hoping for just low 90s at top temperatures. That’s bad enough. Don’t need it any higher!!!!

    2. NAO is mostly positive phase for the next 10 days, so any disturbances in the 500 mb flow moving into the west coast will head progressively eastward across Canada, not really allowing any trofs to dig southward into the eastern US.

      Looks like above avg 500 mb heights and 850 mb temps for a while.

      The one hope is high pressure in southeast Canada that the medium and long range models under simulate can come along and back door eastern New England with some relief.

    3. My granddaughter is working at the barn Sunday to Tuesday.

      This afternoon if the vet check doesnā€™t show problems (prayering it doesnā€™t) I may have a new four legged grand. This one considerably larger than the five pups, one cat and two bunnies.

  15. Thanks, TK.

    The much advertised forecast of “heat” here has been tempered quite a bit. It was going to get to 29C or perhaps 30C (86F) by Sunday, but that is very unlikely. 80F for a few days next week is possible, with lows around 62F. That’s hot for London. It won’t last long. We’ll be back to low 70s and mid to upper 50s by mid week.

    I am headed to Oxford in a few days to see some friends and bike.

  16. I was at the beach today for the second day this week since the weather is so great!

    I barely got the Wordle solution today with a 6.

    1. Always good to get. And we sure have had some lovely beach days. Glad you were able go enjoy

  18. Good luck to the Massachusetts little league team playing right now for a spot in Williamsport at the little league world series. Down here in CT will be rooting tomorrow night for Fairfield to beat NY and make it to the Little League World Series

  19. Loving the weather pattern this week.
    Loving the outlook for next week.

    I feel like I haven’t had a summer yet, until now.

    LONG LIVE SUMMER! I am taking advantage of it while we have it!

  20. Meteorological summer so far for Boston area…

    Dry at about 3 inches below average.
    Cool at about 1F below average.

    Opposite of CPC’s prediction.

    1. Iā€™m betting you donā€™t have to guess to know my question šŸ˜‰ šŸ˜‰

      Although Iā€™m not surprised. This fire just part id the August weather I remember. Itā€™s why we eventually switched our Humarock weeks to August

      1. I wonder what I was trying to say. Clearly I canā€™t watch Little league and type. I think it was something like this is the August weather I remember

        1. We’ve had our share, for sure. But this type of weather has never been consistent in August, Boston’s 2nd warmest month. The long term average is nearly 5 degrees warmer than this first 7 days averaged, but the pattern next week will bump them back in the other direction for a while. šŸ™‚

  21. In northern Nunavut, a Heat Warning is issued “when 2 or more consecutive days of daytime maximum temperatures are expected to reach 22Ā°C.” That’s 71.6Ā°F.

    On the other hand, an Extreme Cold Warning is issued “when the temperature or wind chill is expected to reach minus 55Ā°C for at least two hours.” That’s -67Ā°F.

  22. JimmyJames. I wonā€™t give away who won but what an exceptional game by both teams.

  23. Full Sturgeon Moon rises Friday evening (technically full in the early morning hours of Saturday). Should be a good sky for it. šŸ™‚

    1. I have already seen it this past evening. šŸ™‚

      I didnā€™t know the name of it though. Thanks. šŸ™‚

    1. The peak of the season is September 10.

      We’ve seen what can happen near and beyond the peak.

      It will definitely become more active than it’s been.

      There have been many hostile conditions this season so far, but they are gradually reducing with time.
