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 !

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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!!!!

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!!!!
