DAYS 1-5 (JULY 10-14)
We’re in the final hours of this bout of more humid and very warm weather as a cold front slips southward across the region today. The timing of this front is early enough so that the air mass will already be starting to dry out and stabilize north of I-90 by midday, with the greatest chance for shower and isolated thunderstorm activity occurring from the I-90 belt southward this afternoon and early evening. A westerly flow aloft may keep a canopy of cloudiness over much of the region from midday to early evening, but does set up the potential for a colorful sunset in some areas as it departs later on. (These colorful sunset predictions are iffy and highly dependent on location and fairly precise timing of clearing and your location relative to the edge of the cloud deck). Surface high pressure from Canada and a weak trough aloft combine to bring our region fair and pleasant summer weather Saturday through Monday. By Tuesday, the surface high drifts to our south, allowing it to heat up with more humidity. As previously mentioned, I’ll monitor upstream disturbances coming over the top of a high pressure ridge to our west for cloudiness (and perhaps a shower / t-storm threat) that can mess up the forecast as we head toward early next week, although I’m not expecting any big change potential at this time.
TODAY: Most sun morning. Least sun afternoon. Potential for showers and a possible thunderstorm mainly I-90 belt southward afternoon to early evening. Highs 74-81 South Coast, 82-89 elsewhere. Dew point around 70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts, shifting to NW from north to south.
TONIGHT: Clearing except patchy ground fog. Lows 63-70. Dew point falls toward 60. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 78-85. Dew point in 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 58-65. Dew point in 50s. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Lots of sun. Highs 78-85. Dew point in 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 61-68. Dew point nearing 60. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 82-89, cooler South Coast. Dew point around 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 65-72. Dew point 60+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 86-93. Dew point 65+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 15-19)
Front moves through with a shower and t-storm chance July 15 with a leaning toward first half of day. Watching shower potential from passing disturbance about July 17 otherwise mainly dry late next week. Temperatures show some typical variability but should average not far from normal for this time of year.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 20-24)
No big changes to the outlook here. Generally seasonable pattern overall, but can contain a brief shot of hotter weather and a shower / t-storm chance when a disturbance or front passes by. Too far out to know timing on any of that potential.
Good morning and thank you Tk

https://ibb.co/kgWhqVPX
Yikes. Superb
Well done!
Superb SClarke !
The Humidity is INSANE!!!!!!
I HATE this weather! I mean I REALLY HATE IT!!!!!
I struggle in this. How is Mrs OS?
Thanks TK. Starting to see mention of temps in mid 90s and a potential heat wave next week. Is this realistic or simply warm weather sprinkled with hype?
Not TK, But Pete Bouchard said 2 days at about 94 middle of next week. Pete doesn’t hype, he was just matter of fact about it.
I don’t want any STINKEN 94s!!! Had enough of that crap last week. WHEN WILL October be here???????
Re: Wordle today
Just looking at my puzzle. I got one letter out of position with 1st guess and for the 2nd guess, thought I made an excellent guess and that I might get the word. Nope, but did manage 2 letters in position. This allowed for an excellent guess with #3, but to no avail, thus I was relegated to the 4 car as I did manage to get it on guess 4. ๐
Funny game.
It is a funny game. I suspect thatโs why we keep going back to it
I agree. Sometimes it seems like I’ll never think of a word fitting the pattern and using the remaining available letters. Other times it’s what I’ve seen called “Multiple Choice Hell.” I prefer the first scenario. ๐
I feel the same way
Thanks TK
A much quieter day today than it was on this day back in 1989. This is my first weather memory of my life. I was five years old at the time and the tornado came through around 5pm that day. My mom and I were in the house. I was scared and my mom kept reassuring me everything will be okay. She had lived through a tornado back in the early 60s that took shingles off the roof of the house. A big tree came down in the front yard. A day I will never forget all these years later.

Very scary. Did that help foster your interest in weather, JimmyJames?
Yes it did.
Makes it special for sure.
Weโre certainly glad to have you here Jimmy! ๐

SPC isn’t impressed by today’s set up for thunderstorms

Good grief. I have a dr appt today. So far umass has sent me five reminder txts this morning alone and each one asks me to complete the pre appt questionnaire. I completed it yesterday
At MGB their questionnaires arrive a few days before my appointments and as long as I complete them, thatโs the end. No more correspondence unless they cancel at the last minute.
First signs of convection, Burlington, VT radar

Will we get anything here? I doubt it, but we shall see.
Iโve been hearing mostly south of the Pike.
Logan has a NORTH wind. Since when do we have a North wind ahead of a front??????
Did one front already come through????

Just watch those dew points. Still dp 70 here, but only 84 thankfully.
Albany radar, VERY WIMPY so far anyway.

Thank you TK!
Wordle: 5 – unlike yesterday we are occupying multiple cars today.
Makes it more fun.
cars 3,4,5 and 6 are occupied today. ๐
Very nice Sue
SPC thunderstorm chances for this afternoon. we are in the 19% chance and not in any severe chance area

19% => 10%
sorry about that. Fat fingers or cannot type!!!!!
Wind is from the NW at 20MP at the airport and the dew point there is down to 64. Temp at the airport is only 84.
Dp here has come down to 68, temp here is 84 as well.
GOOD!!! keep those dps falling and let’s cap the temp
at 84. that would be nice.
SPC already highlighting northern parts of New England in the day 5 outlook for severe weather.

I guess a potent ridge rider? Will it make it down this way?
Drove from sutton to Medway and the clouds are towering. Fun sky to watch
Jumping in the 5 car
All aboard! Nice.
Very nice!!
Thanks, TK!

Clearly shows passage of front #1 as I suspected.
I suspect front #2 isn’t going to do much.
Local radar. Not much happening.

88/71. The clouds continue to build. I love skies like this
We had a brief shower. Now 80 / 70.
87/660
I can’t type for shit today.
That would be dp 66 and not 660!!!!!!
And Logan has gone to EAST wind at 14 mph and temp down to 81!!! Doesn’t take much to bring a sea breeze to Logan!!!!!!
๐ ๐ ๐
Logan down to 76 as of 4PM.
We’re down to 82 here.
84/74 after a high of 89
79/66 here now.
Quick shower within the last 15 minutes. It didn’t even measure in the rain gauge.
I headed to west sutton a bit ago. It was driving rain but very short lived. Nothing here
Thanks Tk
The only “surprise” today was the penetration level of the East Coast sea breeze. It passed Woburn at 5:05 p.m. when my temp fell from 85 (my high) to 79 (my current). A lot of that fall took place quickly.
Everything else has been following “script” for the most part.
Pleasant weekend ahead, although WBZ radio is touting it as a “hot” one. Hmm… Maybe they know something I don’t. ๐ Nah, I’ll stick with my forecast.
After this โpleasant weekendโ, HIGH HEAT returns in earnest next week. ๐
Y-U-C-K!!!
Don’t really see much heat in the forecast next week. Maybe a brief shot.
A brief shot is ONE shot too many. UGH!!!
It’s July. It gets hot sometimes. ๐
Why worry about that when we have a fabulous weekend? ๐
Sox are on their way to 12th win in the last 14 games and 7th in a row.
If they hold on they will only be 4 games away from a .500 record.
Do they still suck? ๐
An 11 game winning streak is a lot to expect.
Even for the best teams.
The Sox are not as bad as most people think.
