DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 20-24)

Today is the last full day of astronomical spring, as we welcome summer with the occurrence of the solstice at 4:24 a.m. EDT Sunday. This weekend will feature weather that feels a little more like spring than summer, courtesy a broad upper trough over our region and a surface low spinning about in eastern Canada. Both days will feature a mix of sun and clouds as sun-heated land sends moisture upward into colder air aloft, prompting diurnal cloud development. Some of these clouds can grown adequately to produce showers and even an isolated thunderstorm. Activity will favor the 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. time frame each day and the most likely areas to see it are southern NH and northeastern MA today, and anywhere in the region on Sunday but still focused higher chances in southern NH and eastern MA. Today’s wind will be similar to yesterday’s – an active westerly breeze with gusts, but it will diminish later in the day. Sunday’s wind will be less active as the surface pressure gradient loosens up. The biggest take-aways from the weekend forecast: Low humidity, lack of heat, and dry the vast majority of the time. Just keep an eye out if you have late-day plans for any showers that may be in the area. We then turn our attention to a wave of low pressure moving into the Northeast on Monday, and this brings us the chance of a widespread, somewhat beneficial rainfall. Guidance has been showing somewhat differing solutions for this event, with some bringing in a widespread moderate rain event, and some shunting the brunt to our south with a lighter event or even a partial miss. You’ve heard it a million times here: “When in drought, leave it out”. Well, I’m not leaving it out, per say, but I am leaning toward a fairly widespread but not-too-beneficial event with light to moderate rainfall amounts from a system that moves in during Monday, peaks in the evening, and exits during the early hours of Tuesday. During that day we’ll see quick drying with a clearing trend. Previously, I’d been eyeing a potential system for more unsettled weather on Wednesday, but I am leaning away from that in favor of weak high pressure keeping us dry that day.

TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. Isolated to scattered mid afternoon to early evening showers possible, mainly southern NH and northeastern MA. Highs 75-82. Dew point near 50. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, diminishing late in the day.

MONDAY: Cloudy. Rain arrives southwest to northeast. Highs 68-75, coolest coast. Dew point rises to near 60. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain in the evening. Areas of fog. Lows 57-64. Dew point around 60. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

  2. Good morning and thank yiu TK.

    69 up from 64

    Ocean: 59

    Wordle: 4. Other than a last name, I didn’t know today’s word was a real word, but when after 3 guesses, I had the last 4 letters correct, it was the only possible solution.

    BTW I am absolutely loving this weather!!!!

  5. I am also with JpD on the Wordle train

    Very nice 4, sir. May I please join you in the 4 car.

    Wordle 4

      2. Yay. I like 4 days.

        I did know the word but oddly didn’t think it was correct so it took me a while to enter

  6. Thanks TK !

    Great job on all the 4’s.

    I got it in 5.

    Thought I had it in 4, thought the 5th guess wouldn’t take and was surprised it did.

    Beautiful, comfortable day out there.

  7. Jumping in with a 3 today! Had the last 4 letters at 2 and only one choice remained.

  8. Thanks TK! Great temps for running long distance…but the wind! I ran ten miles out to Fort Tabor in New Bedford – very exposed along the water there and I have never run in wind that strong. As I say there is a lot of extra oxygen out there today! Ha.

  10. Thanks TK.

    A bit of a chilly start here. Woke up to mostly cloudy skies and temps in the upper 50s but now has warmed in the low 70s under mostly sunny skies on the softball field in Franklin CT. Winds are really gusting and kicking up a dust storm on the infield.

  11. Summer skiing today at Jay Peak VT! Scroll to the stateside webcam and look to the right

  13. The shower pops are just a little ahead of schedule, but in the places I expected them to be. Trend should continue a few more hours, then they should all dissipate about the time the wind quickly drops off.

  14. Walked the shore this AM … very breezy. Wind is whipping around now … mostly westerly.

    80F

  15. Thank you TK!

    Wordle: nice job to the 3’s and 4’s. I am joining Tom in the 5 car today. I had the 2nd, 3rd, and last letter right after the first guess which left lots of options.

  16. What a glorious day. My son and family stopped by for my bday and Father’s Day. We sat on deck for a couple of hours.

  20. Complete deluge with multiple downpours driving home from softball today through eastern CT and all the while you could see the sun and blue sky through it to the west. Unfortunately only 0.01” in the rain gauge when I got home.

  21. Boston Fanfest being evacuated due to heavy downpours. Raining here in Quincy as well.

  24. Well that was quite a night! My wife and I were at Irish fest at Ciscos in New Bedford. Lighting was all around us from a distance and then when the band stopped there was a blinding flash and big crack of thunder and then it was pretty chaotic for ten minutes when hundreds outside tried to get inside to escape the torrential rain. As entertaining as the bands were today. If you haven’t been there Day 2 is tomorrow and it’s a great scene. The Pourmen closed out today and they were terrific!

  25. Happy Summer everyone!
    Happy Fathers Day to dads reading!
