DAYS 1-5 (JULY 24-28)

High pressure provides great mid summer weather from today through this coming weekend with plenty of sunshine each day, low humidity, and generally light winds including coastal sea breezes, and temperatures that run near to slightly below normal. Things change as we get into the beginning of next week when a trough approaches from the west. While Monday’s daylight hours look generally dry, we’ll see increasing clouds ahead of a warm front extending from low pressure moving out of the Midwest. A larger scale trough will be moving into the Great Lakes and Northeast later Monday through Tuesday, and the aforementioned low will bring increased shower and thunderstorm chances Monday night and Tuesday.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85, coolest coast. Dew point in 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 56-63. Dew point near 50. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point in 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 56-63. Dew point near 50. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point in 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 57-64. Dew point in 50s. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Dew point in 50s. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 60-67. Dew point heads for 60. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 77-84. Dew point surpasses 60. Wind SE to SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 29 – AUGUST 2)

Timing of a trough moving through the region keeps shower chances into the first part of July 29 before drier weather returns. Another shower or thunderstorm chance comes along in the July 30-31 window, otherwise mostly fair weather and generally near normal temperatures are expected as we move from July to August.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 3-7)

Fair weather early in the period before shower and thunderstorm chances and higher humidity return. Temperatures near normal.

  2. Good morning and thank you TK

    63 up from 60

    Ocean: 62. Brrrr

    Wordle; lowly 6. Bad choice for starting word and it didn’t get much better.

    1. Yay. You got it. That’s what counts.

      I stopped switching my starter words for guesses one and two. Sometimes they really help. Sometimes not so much. But switching around didn’t help and often led to the not so much. They’ve served me well for nearly five years since the game was released. But everyone has his individual way of playing. You have had a hot streak of late.

      1. I get it. Today I tried something different and I knew it was a risk, but I did it anyway. I got tired of the standard starting words as they often left me with NOTHING!!!

        So, the way I am playing, it is either feast or famine. 🙂 🙂 🙂

        Doubt that I will change that. 🙂

        1. Makes sense. Even with the same words, it’s feast or famine. Too many letters to cover all 26 every time. I like to have all vowels and y and then place consonants. Sometimes it works. And again sometimes not so much.

          I wonder if there is a proven approach

          1. I love it when the first guess reveals multiple greens and yellows. Then it is possible to get it in 2 and most certainly 3.

            I can’t stand it when the 1st guess reveals NOTHING!!!!!

  5. Wordle 4.

    Had two words for guess 3 and as I often do chose the wrong one. But happy with
    A 4.

    1. We went to Humarock every July for years. Finally we switched to mid August because it tended not to have the heatwaves. Didn’t always work but more often than not was cooler. This reminds me of that weather. I love love it.

  7. Currently 66/56. Overnight low was 53.

    I got Wordle in 5. I had three of the five letters correct on the third guess.

  9. Wordle 3. Just 1 yellow to start but lucky second guess gave 3 greens and a yellow with 1 possible solution

    1. Thanks SClarke and JpDave !

      Great job by everyone today !

      After 2 guesses, I had the correct letter in the 1st spot and another consonant in the wrong spot.

      But, I only had 1 vowel left to use in my 3rd guess and took a guess with what would work with my misplaced consonant and got lucky with the 3rd guess.

      I’ll take it 🙂

  13. For me, yesterday was a 9 out of 10.

    It was beautiful !!

    Today is 10 out of 10. Still very comfortable but the 50s dps feel more like polar, SUMMER air, where yesterday’s 40s DP’s and highs in the upper 70s fealt like late August, early September.

    This feels like a comfortable July day.

    And yesterday’s thin smoke aloft seems to temporarily have moved off. Very blue skies this morning.

    1. Yesterday at this time, Mt Washington was 39F, its currently 46F. Airmass is just a bit milder today and as I look up, on the western third of the sky, there’s a couple, few decorative, fair weather cumulus clouds, that as soon as they hit the seabreeze, go poof crossing the half way mark
      of the sky.

        1. 🙂

          I didn’t stop but did take a ride down by Humarock and was thinking of you and your family.

  15. So a friend told me FB just flagged my third word as a misspelling….does that mean Wordle blew it and I actually got a 3 🙂 🙂 🙂 😉

  16. Last 2 August’s have come in below avg temp wise.

    August 2024: -0.7F at Logan (had to overcome a very warm/hot first 5 days of the month)

    August 2025: -2.1F.

    There’s nothing screaming on the CFS weeklies saying August is going to be above or well above avg. in fact, CFS weeklies rather stable with the pattern, in projecting above avg temps on the west coast of North America.

    Some of the op runs though suggest maybe bouts of warm/humid weather in the long range, so, we’ll see.

  17. The monthly temp anomolies do give some possible, further credence that Logan’s thermometer may be off a degree, as Worcester, Hartford and Providence are running 0.8-1.4F above avg for July, while Logan is sitting at +2.8F.

    Of course, on the other hand, Logan is a major airport with a ton more airplanes, buildings and is downwind of a heat island, so, that probably has to be factored in too 🙂

    1. Logan is the DUBEST place to keep records for the city of Boston.
      I mean DUMB!!!! More like DUMB and DUMBER!!!!!!!

    2. The study I posted a while back that was sent to me by one of the local Mets I spoke with may also play into that. I’ll see if I can find it

          1. Or should I say, a mixture. Some from the heat islands of Boston and sometimes Logan and maybe the sensor is off .5 – 1F.

            1. There’s most definitely a factor of urban heat being blown to the airport. I’ve said this for decades (basically since the start of my career) since I learned it from my mentors.

              However that still doesn’t change the thermometer being off calibration. It’ll just “show” even more so on the #’s (until any corrections are made). If Robert Lautzenheiser and/or David Taylor were still with us, they’d be all over the NWS to not only fix the thermometer (and rain gauge) issues at Logan, they’d also be all over them to correct all the erroneous numbers. You didn’t want to present those two former MA State Climatologists with “bad” data. Trust me. 😉

  22. Yes, Logan’s bad thermometer has made a difference in at least three significant stretches of time in recent years. There are other locations as well, but Logan is the prime offender in our neck of the woods.

  23. Beware all medium range global models are struggling with trough position / shortwaves a bit more than typically and this will probably continue for a while.

    The general trend is that they have things too amped about a week out and then take their time adjusting to a less amplified scenario.

    A recent example is that most of the models had this week’s unsettled stretch continuing well into Thursday at first, when the actual result was a wetter Tuesday, a brief episode of t-storms for some areas on Wednesday, and other than brief very early showers in the far southeastern areas, Thursday was dry.

    Similarly, the guidance is too wet for too long on the system for next week, IMO, and we’ll see a very similar timeline once again.

  24. Happy Christmas Eve in July! I am brewing some Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride iced tea. 🙂 This is the first of 3 holiday iced teas and one holiday iced coffee to celebrate the season-out-of-season. 🙂

    1. I don’t mind those “Christmas in July” store bargains. In fact, I purchased a Nutcracker in the old Filene’s Basement many July’s ago.

      However, Christmas foods and drinks this time of year, imo…is CREEPY! 😉

      Even “Halloween” is already being celebrated to some extent. Even CREEPIER!!! Halloween “stuff” is already in some stores.

      1. I’m not sure of “creepy” is the word I would use to describe flavors that literally get used at any time of year for a multitude of reasons.

        Sugar cookie is not exclusively made for Christmas.
        Nor is peppermint (which is my next one).
        Nor is cranberry vanilla (which is the third one I’m making).

        And I’m not celebrating Christmas as in rushing the actual season. I am doing “Christmas in July” which is a fun little thing that’s been around since its first known mention in a French operate in the 1890s, then repeated in US movies in the 1930s and 1940s a couple times.

        For me, it’s a nice reminder of the seasons past and the seasons ahead. I’m nostalgic, and also anticipatory. It’s a nice mixture, and there is most definitely nothing creepy about this wonderful iced tea I’m currently sipping on a summer Friday afternoon. Yum!

          1. I still like mid summer better, and matching the mentions it got in that opera and a couple US movies. It was also apparently celebrated in a summer camp in the 1930s as well, which was in attendance in July. 🙂

            For the record though, “Rudolph & Frosty’s Christmas In July” movie starts in June, and ends on July 5. 🙂

            1. Midsummer eve and midsummer is June. I don’t mind July. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

              2. Leroy Anderson wrote the music in July 1946 during an intense heatwave. However, this was just the first version of the song. It was refined 2 years later before its first public performance, by the Boston Pops, in 1948.

                Lyrics for the song did not exist until 1950 when they were written by Mitchell Parish.

      2. To me we need a whole lot more Christmas cheer in our lives. I’d hate to think treats associated with Christmas can only be enjoyed once a year. As far as Halloween, like grandkids are already planning their costumes. My mom always said, and I live by her saying, anticipation is half the joy

  25. Storms starting to pop down here in Sarasota. Dewpoint was at 78° for awhile this afternoon. Temperature was around 95°. Wave energy has finally dissipated from Bertha.

  26. Jeopardy season 2025-26 ended today. Reruns (Tournaments) through the remainder of summer.

  27. Midsummer Eve comes from the Pagan celebration of the solstice, or the “shortest nights & longest days”. 🙂

    Technically, it’s not “mid summer” at all. That’s August 7 – half way between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox. 🙂

    Their reference was it being the middle of the longest daylights. Basically, what we know now as “solar summer”. 🙂

    I have a ton of Pagan influences tied into virtually everything I do.
