DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 7-11)
After mainly rain-free daytime, other than a few showers, yesterday’s activity held off until last night when showers and some heavier thunderstorms moved across much of our region in response to a cold front. That front has now pushed through the region and offshore and some drier, slightly cooler (but still very mild) air will be with us today. We’ll have notably lower dew points than yesterday, making it feel more comfortable. However, low pressure still spins just to our north and northeast and it will be sending a lobe of instability southward this afternoon. When combined with the solar heating we receive this morning and midday, showers and a possibly a few thunderstorms will be the result, with the greatest chance from mid afternoon to early evening progressing north to south from the NH Seacoast region through eastern MA and RI, with the chance dropping off quickly in the western portions of the WHW forecast area. This activity pushes away and it clears out tonight with a push of cooler, dry air from eastern Canada. The orientation of high pressure will turn the wind northeast into Monday, making coastal areas coolest in what will be the coolest day of this period, but with fair and dry weather – sun and passing clouds. High pressure slips overhead Monday night then off to our south Tuesday and Wednesday. Winds shift to west Tuesday and southwest Wednesday and this means continued fair weather but the return of summer warmth. While most areas top 80 on Tuesday, many areas may approach and a few may reach or slightly exceed 90 by Wednesday. While I do expect a humidity increase by then, it should fall shy of reaching oppressive levels. By Thursday, a trough and weak front approach from the west while it is still very warm and moderately humid, and this will result in the chance of a few showers and thunderstorms developing.
TODAY: More sun than clouds this morning. More clouds than sun this afternoon including a good chance of showers and possible thunderstorms from north to south favoring eastern MA and RI. High 76-83. Dew point falls into 50s by day’s end. Wind W 5-15 MPH with gusts 20-25 MPH, shifting to N by late day.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lower elevation fog patches. Lows 53-60. Dew point falls toward 50. Wind N diminishing to around 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 67-74 I-95 belt / coast, 74-81 interior. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH, gusts around 20 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Patchy fog lower elevation locations. Lows 48-55. Wind calm.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85 but may turn cooler coast. Wind W up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 54-61. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 85-92 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point may exceed 60. Wind SW up to 15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. An isolated shower possible. Fog patches favoring interior lower elevations. Lows 63-70. Dew point around 65.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms possible. Highs 83-90 except cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Dew point in 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 12-16)
High pressure ridging is indicated to be the dominant feature aloft, which portends above normal temperatures. A very weak surface boundary and potential sea breeze boundary interactions can pop a shower or thunderstorm in a few places from June 12 through the June 13-14 weekend. Lower confidence later in the period but potential for showers may increase with the approach of a trough from the west.
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 17-21)
As we count down the final days of astronomical spring and head toward the summer solstice (4:24 a.m. EDT June 21), the weather pattern as indicated by guidance varies from model to model, not unexpectedly, but my general feel is that it will feature weak weather systems and an “almost block” or weak attempt at blocking which would be more typical closer to summer than earlier in springtime. We’ll have to watch where upper level low pressure is because one nearby could increase our wet weather potential for at least a portion of this period. Some guidance just keeps the pattern more progressive, so the jury is out here. What I don’t see indications of at this point are sustained heat or a very wet pattern.
We had some good lightning last night at about 11:30pm. We picked up 0.2″ of rain.
I got Wordle in 4 today.
Thank you TK!
Thanks TK !
Wordle: 6
Great graduation ceremony yesterday.
Good breeze helped with the very warm temps and splashes of hot sun. About 10 mins in, unfortunately, someone left in an ambulance. Don’t know why, but wouldn’t be surprised if it was overcome by the warmth as some folks get there so early. It sprinkled as they gave out the last diplomas and I think everyone was very happy with that, it felt great.
Congrats to all graduates within the WHW family.
Nobody left Woburn’s in an ambulance, thankfully (I think I’ve only seen it once). However, one of the two that were stationed at the school did leave to respond to a call somewhere else…
Wonderful
Tom, you got the word which is always good.
Good morning and thank you TK.
79 up from 65

Made 86 yesterday. It got pretty humid yesterday. Very noticeable. Feels much better already today.
Dew point here is 62, but it feels so much better. Weird.
Beautiful day so far.
Thanks TK! A splendid weekend and I am glad the rain same last night as the grass was starting to get dry. A win for the beach goers as well! Feels like we have turned the corner into a warmer pattern after a brief cool down tomorrow
Thanks TK
Thank you, TK. 72/64 here. I liked the high in the mid 70s that we had for tomorrow. Can you bring that back please
Nice Wordle numbers so far. I’ll be joining SClarke and JPD in the 4 car today. Come on up, Tom.
Wordle 4
Welcome

TK I am reposting. Sorry, Hit a wrong key that wiped out my handle.
We’ve had and look to experience more wonderful weather.
What a great stretch of nice weather. We managed to keep it under 90 here with maximum of 87 with manageable dew points until yesterday. We would not have been able to have dinner without the AC whirring yesterday!!!!
We shall see IF we make 90 this week. I HOPE NOT. 80s are fine thank you very much
Tk, don’t bother approving the previous post under “t” as I hit a wrong key and wiped out my handle. Re-Post
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Shows and a movie.
Wife and I are finishing up binge watching the entirety of Downton Abbey (again). What a great show that is!!
Picked up an interesting term last night. “Good Innings”
To “have a good innings” is an idiom meaning to live a long, full, and successful life. It is also frequently used to describe a long, satisfying career or period of operation that is coming to a natural close.
Interesting.
Also, I have been watching HAWAII 5-0 (The newer version, not the old one from years ago). I never thought I would like that show, but I find the interaction among the main characters to be fascinating and very entertaining. It is most unrealistic that the team always catches the perpetrator(s) in very quick order, but entertaining just the same. Oh and the Scenery! Unwordly!! Could watch the show just for that.
Finally, a Movie. It is an older movie (2001) called Angel Eyes and stars Jennifer Lopez and Jim Caviezel. Is is a different kind of love story. Trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=278Kbqjdks0
Oh and next on the schedule is the new season of PBS’s
PATIENCE. Love that show!!!
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvB1QHjVjVI
Here is an interview with 2 of the stars of Patience. Pretty neat interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDR6x1aRrYE
Thank you. Mac and I tried to get into downton abbey but never could. I’ve wondered about 5-0 and will try. I like shows where cast interacts. It’s why I enjoy the Rookie
Downton Abbey all seasons is available on Amazon Prime.
Patience is available ON PBS (streaming season 1 and 2 all episodes). I subscribe via Amazon Prime.
Patience is on PBS ch 2 and airs weekly for Season 2.
77, dp 60. It is going down!!!!
Wordle 5
All aboard. Welcome to the train. C’mon up to the party lounge in the 4 car!!!
Very nice.
When TK said showers moing North to South across the region, he wasn’t kidding!!!
showers and a possibly a few thunderstorms will be the result, with the greatest chance from mid afternoon to early evening progressing north to south from the NH Seacoast region through eastern MA and RI,
Check out the local radar!!!!
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
Neat !
Thank you TK!
Wordle: 2 (a super lucky wild guess. I had one letter in an incorrect spot on my first guess)
Woooo Hoooo. Exceptional
Wow! Fantastic!!!
78/61
And quite windy
At the beach for a bit.
Really nice !
Awesome!!!
Just made 80 here.
5 Day stretch here
82.87.87,86,80 (so far)
Showers now approaching Manchester and Portsmouth NH.
And weakening, I might add.
Boston’s radar is “running hot” meaning it’s showing precipitation more intense than it actually is.
This has been an occasional issue with that radar since its relocation. I am not sure why. But obviously it has not been addressed yet.
I always use the wunderground.com (formerly intellicast) radar.
Still getting radar data from the same places, therefore whatever is coming from Boston (Norton) is overdone.
We topped at 79 at 1:18 and are down to 76/61
Looks like we topped out at an even 80.
Thanks, TK!
79/59 with a nice breeze.
Darkening skies.
0.12″ last night with about two thunders.
Tom, at the risk of you putting your fist through the Internet and punching me in the nose, Happy “6-7” today (June 7)!!!
Hahahahahaha! I am sure you’ve had enough of 6-7 this school year. 🙂 At least 6-7 is not a school day this year! 🙂
Seriously, there’s a special place for our middle school teachers. Mrs. Fantastic is a retired middle school teacher. I taught high school Spanish for more than 40 years and I know that I don’t think I could have taught that age group!
Thanks for all you do, Tom! How many more days left, amigo? How many days does Marshfield have to make up after our tough winter?
Hahahaha …..
Somewhere in March, I think it was, the students told us 6-7 was not cool anymore. Thank goodness ! Lord knows what they’ll create next 🙂
14 more days, (8 + making up 6 snow days, brutal). Last day is Friday, June 26th.
Superb Mrs Fantastic !! I hope you’ve both had a great year doing whatever you have chosen to do.
Even His Holiness, Pope Leo, is making the “6-7” on his trip to Madrid!!!! Ha! 🙂

What is this mystery about 6/7? You got me!
I haven’t a clue. The only thing I know is that it is the day following 6/6.
“6-7,” pronounced “six-seveeeeen,” is haunting school halls across the country (including South Park Elementary), making it the Gen Alpha nonsense phrase of the moment. Kids are shouting it in classrooms when a teacher turns to page 67, when lunchtime is 6 to 7 minutes away or for no reason at all. It’s become so ubiquitous that Dictionary.com named it the word of the year.
“It’s like a plague — a virus that has taken over these kids’ minds,” said Gabe Dannenbring, a seventh-grade science teacher in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. “You can’t say any iteration of the numbers 6 or 7 without having at least 15 kids yell, ‘6-7!’”
It’s a joke without a punchline (or a setup, for that matter). 6-7 means nothing, but using it can make a student feel like a member of a bigger, cooler group of their peers.
From CNN
I think it has died down now, but, at the beginning of the school year, it was all the rage. In fact, at college basketball games in November and December, teams would try to hit exactly 67 points so the young teens and preteens in the crowd would go crazy!
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-SuhebboX_U
Maybe it will make a comeback now that the pope is having some fun with it! 🙂
thanks for the info, but I simply don’t get it.
Makes NO SENSE to me whatsoever.
I assume it is just something STUUUUUUUUUPID from South park????????
Haha that’s amusing. 🙂
Most people my age (or older) have been thoroughly annoyed by that. Not I. I found it amusing. As youngsters we had our “things” too. And the older folks at the time (our parents, aunts, uncles) had NO idea, exactly what we wanted. 😉
Oh brother. 😉
I’m with JPD as I’ve never heard of it. I will be 67 next year and now that I know about this “joke” it’s already made me not looking forward to that birthday.
I hope there’s nothing out there regarding “66” from this young generation.
It’s really not that big a deal, to be honest. We were all kids too. (Some of us still are, haha!)
Eh eh eh…. I’m older and have found it amusing 😉
I don’t in the slightest. I think it is ABSURD!!!!
For sure.
You had to embrace it to make it less cool for the students. Fight it and they’d give it to you a hundred times worse.
So, creating problems like calculate …. 4 more than 9 times 7. Or what’s the measure of a second angle that’s complimentary to a 23 degree angle? 🙂
From AI
The “6-7” (or “67”) trend is a viral, context-free Gen Alpha meme and slang phrase that has taken over classrooms and the internet. Kids and teens randomly shout “six, seven!” in a sing-song voice while making a specific up-and-down, palms-up hand motion as if weighing something in the air.Origin of the MemeThe Rap Song: The phrase comes from a 2024 drill rap track called “Doot Doot” by the Philadelphia rapper Skrilla, which features a catchy, repeated “six-seven” lyric.The Basketball Connection: The audio from this song went viral on TikTok, specifically in video edits of the 6-foot-7-inch NBA star LaMelo Ball.The Face of the Trend: The meme went into overdrive when a wildly enthusiastic, over-excited young spectator at a basketball game was caught on camera shouting “6-7” while doing the hand gesture.
DUH!!!!!!!
We actually had a decent, couple minute heavy shower pop practically over town.
We’ll take it, another little cleansing of the green/yellow pollen that’s now all over the pavements, cars, etc. Better there than in the air.
Down to 72 and quite comfy. Full clouds.
JPD just making sure I gave the new five O. It starts with garrets dad being held hostage?
Yes, that is the one. Love the character interaction even if their results are overdone.:)
Perfect. Watching now
🙂
Is this the 5-0 that ran for 10 years from perhaps 2010-2020?
If it is, I love the remake, all 10 seasons. Scott Caan’s, Danno is a hilarious foil to McGarrett. They also brought forth arch nemesis, Wofat and had a lot of other great criminal stories to deal with.
Actually, I also watched the late 60s thru 1980 version a couple winters ago and that was really good too !
Yes, that is the one.
6-7, I do the stupid hand gesture and pronunciation just to aggravate my 18 year-old. Drives him crazy lol.
Hahahaha. Love it
Is this last shower going to hold together and force me to close windows???
I just as soon NOT have to close all the windows only to open them again an hour later.
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
I understand. It just feels nice to have them open. It sure looks as if might head to you. Ugh
Congrats on another Graduation Tom! I was very disappointed the governor did not forgive a few days. It’s pointless to keep students later into the year. After this weekend it will be hard to get them focused. Hang in there! What a beach day it was today on the South Coast. A fabulous day! TK noted the forecast shift late this week and he was spot on. Today could arguably be one of the nicest days of “meteorological summer”.
Thanks !
Starting to sprinkle here. Hope that’s all it does.
What a temperature drop along the coast!
Not complaining because we have had so much warm weather and more is coming.
This temp drop into the low/mid 60s feels nice, cooling off the house even better than the AC
Is it raining as hard in Boston as it looks on radar or is it overdone again?
It’s overdone. I had “orange” on top of me according to radar and it was barely moderate.
It was just raining pretty good here. I had to shut all of the windows, not just because of the rain, but it got drastically cooler out and the house was really cooling off. Down to 64 quickly here.
Please send the cool here
Light rain here. It moved temp from
70 to 68 and hoping it continues to drop. AC is off and that’s what keeps me smiling
Wankum must be getting close as I saw a comment on social media by I think his wife . He will be missed for sure . I’d love to bump into him down here , heard he is a really nice guy .
Actually it was his wife , I have 100% brain fog every day here .
Brain fog is a given with me.
Wait until you get older, if you thinknot is bad now.
I’m so bad, I have to wear special fog lights.
Not laughing cause it’s funny but laughing cause it is too familiar
Very gusty winds all of a sudden. Feels like a gust front came through – temps have really dropped
We had the burst of winds. Temp only dropped to
59
Anyone on here knows my opinion. I had to calm down a bit before coming on here and posting this because I would have probably gotten in trouble for being “too political,” yet this is not political this is about science, this is about livelyhoods, this is about your safety and your access to knowledge.. Wxrisk.com and many others have the same feeling as me and I feel the majority here pobably does as well.. I know people who maintained a lot of this network. I have personally seen some of the equipment myself. The amount of money wasted on dismantling of this is appalling, unnecessary, and a disaster for the earth sciences.

And yes, we are told as scientists to listen to both sides, but I have no patience for the so-called other side anymore. You can talk to the hand.
Matt I sadly cannot agree more. What we are seeing will have a devastating impact on our future. My prayer is that your generation can somehow undo this
There is only so much we can do when almost every generation around us basically voted for Trump. Even the younger generation. It’s a massive education issue, and all sides have played a part in it.
You can’t fix STUPID
New post…
