Saturday Forecast

8:14AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 10-14)
A trough swings through the region today and may kick off a brief afternoon shower in some locations, but that would be a very minor interruption in what will otherwise be a great August weekend. When we get to Monday, the humidity will start to increase, though the weather will be fair, then a broad trough moving in from the west will bring shower and thunderstorm chances for Tuesday into Wednesday.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Brief passing shower possible west to east during the afternoon. Highs 77-84, coolest hills. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 53-60. Wind light NW.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 55-62. Wind light SW.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 80-87. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light SW.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and possible thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 78-85. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Humid. Lows 61-68. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Humid. Highs 73-80. Wind light variable.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 15-19)
Trough departs and high pressure builds in with fair and dry weather returning August 15. High pressure should maintain control overall with a warm-up August 16-17, then a trough from the west may bring showers/thunderstorms during the August 18-19 time frame.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 20-24)
Overall pattern will be weak west to east flow with a northward-displaced jet stream, allowing more heat/humidity back into the region. Can’t rule out a few opportunities for showers/thunderstorms, but much of this period looks rain-free.

  5. Barry has fair weather with lowering humidity for Wednesday. Obviously TK’s outlook above is considerably different with showers and lots of lingering humidity.

    I like Barry’s much better which I hope verifies. Even one day of humidity is one too many.

  6. Joshua…Thanks for sharing those photos of old Boston in the snow in the previous blog. I had no idea that horses slipped and fell so often. I can imagine many having to be put down. Watching the Budweiser Clydesdales during the SB over the years I always assumed horses naturally easily getting around in snow, if not better than automobiles sometimes.

    1. They do naturally get around. Their natural hoods work surprisingly well. My guess is the paths were ice. And they may have had shoes which, unless studded, are impossible on ice.

      My guess is if there is any question of footing, the Budweiser horses have studs in their shoes.

          1. Nah. A horse person. Or better yet the mom of a horse person. She had a box of studs to use depending on the footing.

  9. 12z GFS now beginning to look more like the Euro. Now takes Tuesday’s low
    “just” South of us or right over far SNE.

  13. 12z EURO just south of SNE with the low track Tuesday into Wednesday. To me any shift further north and parts of SNE might be in play for strong to possibly severe storms.
