DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 23-27)

A frontal system draped across the region provides the avenue for another wave of low pressure moving along it today, prolonging the cloudy and showery weather, particularly over areas from I-95 / I-90 east and south. Some heavier downpours / thunderstorms will be included in this activity, especially early today, before we see a gradual diminishing of activity later on. Drier air moves in tonight with a clearing trend. High pressure builds in with fair weather for our region Wednesday. The next low pressure system we have to contend with moves into the Great Lakes Thursday and across southeastern Canada on Friday. This system will drag a warm front / cold front duo across our region Thursday night and Friday, providing our next period of unsettled weather. A little more detail needs to be worked out, but for now I expect a round or two of showers and embedded thunderstorms Thursday night and Friday morning, with an additional shower or thunderstorm chance Friday afternoon before the system exits the region. The cold front will sit not that far to our south to start the weekend Saturday, and this may allow some cloudiness to hang around for a while, but I am not looking for any additional rain as it stands now.

TODAY: Mainly cloudy. Episodes of rain with embedded heavier showers and possible thunderstorms, diminishing from northwest to southeast midday on. Highs 68-75. Dew point 60+. Wind variable up to 10 MPH becoming W 5-15 MPH later in the day.

TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 55-62. Dew point falls to near 50. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83, coolest coast. Dew point 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Low elevation fog patches. Lows 57-64. Dew point rising slowly through 50s. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 75-82, coolest South Coast. Dew point near 60. Wind S to SE 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers arrive. Chance of a thunderstorm. Areas of fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm in the morning. Chance of a shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon. Highs 76-83. Dewpoint in 60s. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partial clearing. Patchy fog. Lows 60-67. Dew point near 60. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Limited sunshine. Highs 73-80, coolest coast. Dew point sub-60. Wind variable to E up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 28 – JULY 2)

High pressure sits to the north and provides fair weather but a light off-the-ocean air flow on June 28. The June 29 through July 2 period looks dry most of the time, but a couple disturbances in the region can trigger a shower or thunderstorm from time to time. There will be some diurnal influence on these chances as well, so timing of disturbances will help determine chances and coverage of any activity. Temperatures somewhat variable, but not straying too far from normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 3-7)

Pattern looks surface high pressure dominant with a northwesterly air flow at upper levels. Overall dry with temperatures near to slightly above normal. A couple disturbances can trigger passing showers and thunderstorms but it would be dry the vast majority of the time.

    1. Wow – impressive 3!

      I had the last 4 letters on the third guess, but ended up with 5.

      1. 5 is good. I had zilch with 1st guess. Then had 1 in position and 1 out of position with 2nd guess and took a stab at it. For a change I got it.

        1. I also had nothing on the first guess. There are only three normal words ending in those four letters and it took me three guesses! 🙂

          1. Crazy game!! Just know that you are an excellent player, one of if not the best here.

      1. Not often I am the engineer. I wonder If I will remain so, or will I get replaced later? 🙂 I promise a smooth and pleasant ride.

  7. Thank you TK.

    62/61. Interesting switch. We are down from 66 a few hours ago. Total event rain 1:04”. And a lovely soft rain over a long period of time

  8. Thanks TK.

    1.02” in the rain gauge in Coventry. We’ll see if we can hopefully add some more to that today.

  11. Thanks TK !

    Wordle: 5

    Believe it or not I’m writing to you from south shore hospital.

    Long story, I’ve actually always battled anxiety for the last 35 years and something had me so anxious lately, that it has my blood pressure at unsafe levels and I can’t stop my head ruminating the issue and so,, even though my primary doctor has been great. I needed more and got myself admitted. Hopefully they can treat the BP while giving me something to calm my head.

    So, Joshua, not to the same level, but I can partially relate to what your son is going through and I hope he’s getting wonderful treatment and support.

    1. Oh, so sorry to hear. Anxiety can be brutal. I hope they can get you feeling better ASAP!!!!! Come home soon!!!!

      btw, nice 5.

    6. Hey tom Anxiety can be tough & everything I’ve been going through with my wife I am battling it as well . I sincerely think you did the right thing & let me know if there is anything that I could help you with , you know how to reach me bud . Use my daily slogan if you can & take it one day at a time or minute or second !!!

    1. Nice Longshot! My gauge had 2.45 inches in Padanaram Village. Much of that fell between 4:30 and 7am.

  14. Thanks, TK!

    Tom, my prayers and best wishes for calm and peace, my friend.
    Please take care of yourself! I don’t know when your last day of school is. Hopefully, soon. Then you can take some time valuable time off from work to relax and renew.

    1.15″ of rain, the first time we’ve had more than an inch of rain since early April.

    Major flash flooding around 5 am in Fall River and New Bedford, including the closure of Rt. 24 in Westport.

    2. I don’t think I’ve ever seen either of those words. Looking them up didn’t ring any bells.

      1. One is obsolete. But honestly I’m not sure why wordle accepted Either. Not complaining about my five. Just questioning the logic. I often just enter letters to see if it’s accepted so maybe that is my problem also

        1. not your problem. Sometimes we are forced to do that when we haven’t a clue. I think it is a reasonable strategy.

  18. Logan’s ASOS is once again in need of TLC. Not only precipitation (which is reading low) but temperature, which again is running high.

    One of my colleagues has been paying close attention to this issue, which has been ongoing at several major sites over recent years, especially with the current ASOS design, which IMO is inferior to what the capabilities are.

    I have noticed recently that Logan’s temp seems to be creeping up a bit higher than it actually is, and most definitely the precipitation #’s are coming in less than what actually has fallen.

    The following is from my colleague earlier today, and it must be noted that I am 100% in agreement with the following. I’ve been saying it’s a problem for quite a long time, and it most certainly is:

    “I think the temp sensor at Logan is running at least 1 F too warm. Through 6/22, Logan is running 5.4 F above avg for the month. No other long-term climate location in New England is higher than 3.9 above for the month. Examples: Providence 3.9, Worcester 3.8, Concord NH 3.4, and Hartford 2.1 above avg for the month so far.
    And I did a check of May. Logan +2.4, but Providence.+1.1, Worcester -0.3, Concord NH -0.4, and Hartford -0.6. This discrepancy may go back further.
    This goes to show that even 1 F off for temp is a big deal when over an extended period, and that significance increases as you get further out. 1 F avg higher for a year is more significant than 1 F higher than avg for a month, as one example. See how weather sensor issues, never mind urban heat island effects, can skew temp records and easily give an unrealistic picture of trends if not addressed in a timely fashion?
    Temp sensor calibration and other issues are nothing new, Newark NJ had a +2 F bias for a few years this decade. I think it is corrected now, but it was *so* obvious there was an issue. Every month, Newark was 2 F warmer than NYC (Central Park), LGA, and JFK, and the distance from Newark to all 3 of these locations is 20 mi or less, so no way Newark did not have a warm bias.
    Sometimes a warm bias at location is due to new construction nearby or the temp sensor re-located, and in both cases artificial heat sources contaminate the temp readings. What’s worse, most of the time, these obvious errors go into the official climate record uncorrected. See the issue here? When weather stats are reported to us, we assume that they are accurate. Not always, and systemic errors do add up over time and can make a big difference. But rarely do you see any outlet, big or small, mention the margin of error/uncertainty in measurements or note there is a problem at a site.
    And one important item I have mentioned before. The weather equipment used at airports in the U.S, known as ASOS or AWOS, are designed primarily for *aviation* use. This means visibility, cloud cover/height, wind, and altimeter take precedence, and temp/dew point are secondary. And most climate sites in the U.S. and globally are located at airports, which is not ideal due to the urban heat island effect and proximity to large swaths of asphalt and jet exhaust.”

    3. I have not followed the temps at Logan but the precip amounts when reported for Logan always look off. I do not expect the measurements to be 100% accurate, 100% of the time but I have felt that Logan precip measurements have been 100% inaccurate, 100% of the time. Admittedly I have a bias about placing meteorological equipment at airports.

      1. The temp was good for quite a while. It’s more recently it seems to have slid back to “too warm”. These ASOS sensors almost always go that direction. It’s a common problem with this. As the colleague mentioned, it’s also a placement issue. A lot of them have been relocated in very non-representative places.

        Trust me, we’ve been keeping track of this for a long time. 🙂

  19. Given the heat in Europe, I suspect the topic of branding heat waves will appear once again. The lead city in Europe is Seville where it all started. In the US, it has been LA, Miami, Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee and KC (MO) that are trying to participate in some way when it comes to naming heat waves.

    1. Horrendous idea. Period. I will NEVER change my opinion on that. It’s even more stupid than naming winter storms, and that is pretty dang stupid too.

      Not sorry for my feelings on this stuff and not budging on it either. Both of those are horrendous ideas. Totally deflects attention from the actual impacts.

      1. P.S. Heatwaves in France are nothing new, and the entire country (including many parts of Europe) have multiple reasons, some of them monetary, some of them cultural, and others, why they shun the use of air conditioning. While nearly 90% of homes in the USA use at least one air conditioner, barely 10% of homes in Europe, including France, use it. Naturally, this is going to lead to more heat-related difficulties.

        I mean, it’s kind of just common sense.

      2. The basic premise is that the public underestimates the risks. The prevailing theory seems to be that heat waves are “silent killers” and by naming them, the public will pay more attention which in turn is supposed cut down on heat related sicknesses and even deaths. I am not yet a believer in this logic string. The idea that naming a Heat Wave, Bob, is going to change peoples’ behavior seems like a stretch.

        Just for the record, the group pushing the idea is the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center … known as Arsht-Rock.

        1. It will change nothing about their behavior.

          We should be advising about weather conditions and hazards, not giving them human names (or pet names for that matter).

          Heat already has a name: Heat.

          Heatwaves have a definition. We don’t need to name them.

          This obsession with adding more “stuff” just for the sake of adding more stuff is out of control.

  20. Keeping you in my prayers Tom. I also suffer from anxiety and can certainly relate. Good for you for recognizing the need to take the next step for help. I sure hope they are able to put your mind at ease.

  21. Gentleman from nws said this about Logan last time I asked. Will email again. When I looked today Logan was in line with surrounding areas. But I only looked once

    “ Some background information for you, it is NWS policy that all ASOS systems are visited at least once every 3 months to perform various calibration tests and conduct preventative maintenance. As it applies to temperatures, the technicians bring with them two different calibrated thermometers that they use for the comparison tests. Our technicians consider the ASOS temperature to be correct if it is within +/- 1F of the calibrated thermometers, although NWS policy allows for a larger range. The design of the ASOS temperature sensors is such that it does have an accuracy level of +/- 1.8F — which is pretty standard when it comes to temperature sensors. In other words, if the sensor reported 70F, the perfectly accurate temperature really lies within the range of 68.2F to 71.8F ”

    1. It does appear that this recent issue is quite new, so hopefully the correction will be quick-coming this time.
