  1. If Logan hits 90F today, Boston would have an official heatwave. I peeked at the watervapor satellite and there’s a pretty good spin entering northern New England. Maybe an interesting afternoon to track storms closer to the Boston area.

  3. Right now Emily is not forecast by the NWS to become a hurricane. The track has changed somewhat, but the NWS acknowledged it is having forecasting difficulties — track, intensity, location to name a few.

    1. Hi Hadi.

      Yes, Logan hit 91F on Sunday. A seabreeze was slower to set in than expected. I think thats 12 days for Logan at 90F or better.

  5. According to the preliminary data on July from Logan, the average monthly temperature for July was 3.4F above normal. Now that I think about it, this summer is mirroring last winter. As I recall, the region received 70 plus inches of snow in a five or six week period from very, very late December to the first few days of February and that was about it…..June was cool amd damp, we’ve pretty much accumulated ten ninety degree days since July 1st (only 32 days). It will be interesting to see if the warmth shuts off for the month of August.

  6. Emily barely a tropical storm with winds of 40mph. Will see what it looks like when it comes out of Hispanola. It is not projected to become a hurricane but folks along the Southeast Coast should watch it. Some models want to hook this out to sea and I hope so since I will be down in the Mid Atlantic for vacation next week and don’t want rain.
    Storm Prediction Center has eastern parts of SNE in the slight risk.
    Thunderstorm Index at a 2 for those areas since there is a threat for some severe weather.

  7. Earlier this morning the sky was a clear blue – now some high-level clouds/haze has shown up. I am guessing that we will get some thunderstorm activity today especially Worcester-east. I think the NWS said something about a “cold core” over Eastern NE which could produce some brief but nasty storms. We will see.

    I am wondering if tomorrow’s forecast is still on the tricky side – so far I am hearing mostly sunny skies with some cloudiness and a chance of showers in far southern New England. As long as there are no storms tomorrow as it is my birthday! 🙂

      1. Hi, Vicki – thanks! We will probably eat dinner out tomorrow night – not sure where yet.

        1. That sounds fun. We’ve tried the prime grill several times where luigis used to be and like it. Do you have favorite restaurants over that way?

          1. I have had good experiences at the villa and jj mckay’s. Have never been to the prime grill – am considering the longfellows wayside inn but that looks a bit pricey.

  10. From NWS:

    SHOWERS/STORMS STILL HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING ORGANIZED ACROSS
    SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. EVEN THOUGH AIRMASS HAS DESTABILIZED WITH
    SBCAPES AROUND 1500 J/KG AND WE HAVE 0-6KM SHEAR OF 30-40KT…RATHER
    WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE CAUSING STORMS TO STRUGGLE AS THEY
    TRY TO DEVELOP. LOW LEVEL DRYING HAS BEEN ANOTHER LIMITING FACTOR.
    WE STILL HAVE A FEW HOURS FOR MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES TO STEEPEN…
    AND IT APPEARS THIS MAY STILL HAPPEN BETWEEN 3 AND 6 PM.

    We’ll see

  11. You can see the clouds having trouble building past mid levels. They keep hitting there and spreading out into high based stratocumulus/altocumulus. We’re going to need a really strong updraft to punch through what is a somewhat stable layer, thanks to a very weak lapse rate there, as NWS noted in their discussion. I’m watching a tower try to build to my NW, but at the moment it still looks anemic.

  12. Been watching a line of towering clouds set up with the wind (WNW-ESE) that was over me then sank just to the south of me and exploded into storms. It poured in SW Woburn, 2 miles away from me, not a drop here! Hearing thunder now, but it’s moving away. I’m about to drive toward it though, as I am about to make a trip into Charlestown then back.

    1. The radar returns on that cell exploded as well on radar. There seems to be new storms firing NW of Woburn and looking to train over the same general area. It seems strange to see the storms firing now, with the dewpoints falling into the low-mid 50s.

  13. OK – it has been pouring out the last 10 mins. or so – but we just got a big flash of lightning and a loud crash – really loud – of thunder here in Sudbury.

    We might have had some small hail briefly about 30 mins. ago.

  15. Dorchester: heavy downpour, some thunder but not extreme and no winds. Finished my yardwork just in time. Occurence between 5:30 and 6:00 pm.

    It’s about time eastern MA got some decent rainfall.

  16. I had a great view of all the cells as I drove to Charlestown down 93S then back to Woburn up 93N. I saw a lot of great CGs. Had to delay getting out of the car due to the proximity of the big cell and some fairly close strikes, though the core of the biggest storm ended up going NE of me, across the 128/93 area and in Reading, then thru Peabody/Lynn/Salem, exiting via Nahant Beach. We saw some partial clearing but a new cell is blowing up right over me and it’s raining pretty hard again as of 6:34PM.

  18. The cells have been skirting framingham. Some rain now which is welcome and I can hear thunder but mYbe more over raimshine’s way. It’s a birthday celebration for her 🙂
