3:58AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 7-11)
Wave of low pressure moves east northeast and passes over far southern New England tonight through early Tuesday, bringing some wet weather, favoring southeastern areas. High pressure moves in mid to late week with fair weather.
TODAY: Clouding over. Areas of rain arrive during the afternoon. Highs 72-78. Wind S to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Overcast. Rain likely mainly South Coast where it may be heavy at times. Slight risk of thunder, favoring heaviest rain areas far south. Scattered lighter rain elsewhere. Areas of fog. Lows 62-68. Wind E 10-20 MPH with higher gusts from southern NH to northern MA, variable to SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts southern MA, CT, and RI.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy with any rain ending in the morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 75-82. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing late.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 12-16)
Same general pattern, weak high pressure to the east, weak trough in the Great Lakes sending occasional disturbances into the Northeast. A few showers/thunderstorms at times favoring August 12-14. Temperatures overall will be near the seasonal average.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 17-21)
A slight retrogression of the high pressure area offshore should allow it to warm slightly to near to above normal, temperature-wise. Same generally pattern with a few opportunities for showers and thunderstorms.

11:38AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 6-10)
I’ve had my difficulty figuring out what is a simple pattern lately. Still the same overall idea but a few adjustments. The overall pattern is for high pressure off the Atlantic Coast but on the weaker side, allowing the mean trough in the Great Lakes to eject disturbances that cross the Northeast, the next of which will be further south than the one before it, putting southern New England on the cool side and lining up the region for significant rain later Monday to early Tuesday. A stronger ridge of high pressure continues to dominate the western USA and the jet stream is north of this and sending pieces of Pacific energy and moisture along toward the Great Lakes trough. Some may think this pattern is more like winter, but it’s not. It’s a summer pattern we have seen many times, and a whole lot wetter a pattern than last year at this time, as the lush vegetation will remind you. However, you may have noticed some early leaf drop, particularly in maples. This is post-drought stress, a normal reaction, and the trees will recover from it. Now, onto the updated forecast…
TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 76-83. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 58-65. Wind W shifting to S 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Areas of rain arrive during the afternoon. Highs 72-78. Wind S to SE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Overcast. Rain likely, heavy at times. Slight risk of thunder. Areas of fog. Lows 62-68. Wind E 10-20 MPH with higher gusts from southern NH to northern MA, variable to SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts southern MA, CT, and RI.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy with any rain ending in the morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 75-82. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing late.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 11-15)
Same general pattern, weak high pressure to the east, weak trough in the Great Lakes sending occasional disturbances into the Northeast. Current timing suggests the greatest chance for showers/storms comes later in this period which will otherwise be largely rain-free.
Temperatures overall will be near the seasonal average.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 16-20)
A slight retrogression of the high pressure area offshore should allow it to warm slightly to near to above normal, temperature-wise. Same generally pattern with a few opportunities for showers and thunderstorms.

11:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 5-9)
Cold front + humidity = showers and thunderstorms. That’s today, not a total wash-out, but currently a fairly significant batch of showers and embedded thunder moving through from west to east in central and eastern areas. This clears out and allows some sun which will fuel another batch of showers/storms with the cold front itself later. This area should be smaller overall, but may pack more of a punch where it does hit – favoring areas from central and eastern MA to southern NH at this time for late afternoon / early evening. Drier air arrives overnight and Sunday which will be a beautiful summer day. But the overall pattern discussed in previous entries continues and will send another disturbance this way later Monday and Tuesday with more unsettled weather before fair weather returns.
TODAY: Showers and embedded thunder central through eastern areas midday, then some breaking clouds with sun increasing. Then a chance of showers/thunderstorms again west to east later day and early evening. Any storms may be briefly strong. Humid. Highs 78-86, coolest South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lowering humidity later. Lows 62-68. Wind S 5-10 MPH shifting to W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 76-84. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Clouding over. PM rain. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Early showers. Clearing west to east. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 10-14)
Pattern will feature more humidity and a daily risk of showers/thunderstorms, but much more often rain-free.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 15-19)
Humid start, showers/storms following, a drier interlude, and humidity returns later in the period.

10:56AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 4-8)
The overall pattern of ridge off Atlantic Coast, mean trough Midwest/Great Lakes will continue though a front will push eastward from the trough through the region Saturday, and increase out isolated shower/storm activity of today to a greater risk of more areas seeing at least a passing shower/storm or two during Saturday. A bubble of high pressure will bring great weather for Sunday and then a wave of low pressure ejecting from the trough will return some unsettled weather to the region later Monday and early Tuesday based on current timing.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible but will favor areas well west and north of Boston. Humid. Highs 78-86, coolest South Coast. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light SW.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms but one or two broken to solid lines of showers/storms may cross the region from west to east between noon and early evening. Humid. Highs 78-86, coolest South Coast. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Risk of showers/storms early. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Less humid. Highs 76-84. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of rain late. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain morning. Clearing afternoon. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 9-13)
Same general pattern allows warmth and humidity to become re-established along with occasional opportunities for showers/storms.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 14-18)
Similar pattern expected to continue through mid month. As always we will need to eye the tropics for systems should anything approach the East Coast.

8:22AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 3-7)
No changes from yesterday’s discussion. Warm/humid for the next 3 days, isolated showers/storms today-Friday, better chance Saturday as a front arrives from the west. High pressure brings great weather Sunday, low pressure approaches and brings unsettled weather by later Monday.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated afternoon showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 78-83 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH but some east coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light S.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated afternoon showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 78-83 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH but some east coastal sea breezes.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s, coolest South Coast.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Less humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to middle 80s.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers or rain late. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 8-12)
Cooler and unsettled briefly August 8 as a trough swings through, then the larger scale pattern tries to take back over with more humidity and warmer weather.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 13-17)
Overall similar pattern, typical for August, but still may have to contend with some passing troughs from the west at times as the old pattern tries to come back at times.

12:41PM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 2-6)
The next 4 days we will be in a warm/humid southerly air flow with high pressure offshore and a trough to the west. The risk of showers and thunderstorms is a little higher today as a disturbance moves through, and again Saturday as a front approaches from the west. The two days in between will see more isolated activity. Sea breeze boundaries each day can also be a focus for some developing showers and storms. Overall, this will be largely a rain-free several days, but when it does rain in any given location, some very heavy downpours may occur.
THIS AFTERNOON: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms, some with downpours and possible small hail. Humid. Highs 78-83 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH with some east coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers/thunderstorms early. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light S.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated afternoon showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 78-83 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH but some east coastal sea breezes.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light S.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated afternoon showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 78-83 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH but some east coastal sea breezes.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s, coolest South Coast.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Less humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 7-11)
Cooler and unsettled briefly August 7-8 as a trough swings through, then the larger scale pattern tries to take back over with more humidity and warmer weather.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 12-16)
Overall similar pattern, typical for August, but still may have to contend with some passing troughs from the west at times as the old pattern tries to come back at times.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 1-5)
Welcome to August and a new weather pattern, with high pressure generally dominant off the US East Coast and a trough of low pressure in the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes. This pattern will be one of moderate to high humidity, generally warm weather, and daily opportunities for isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms, with the higher chances being generally to the west and north of Boston, but more of the region may have opportunity to see a few showers/storms sometime between later Friday and later Saturday as a piece of the trough tries to move east and sends a weak cold front into New England. Favoring Saturday for this right now.
TODAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms favoring southern NH and central MA late-day. More humid. Highs 78-83 immediate coast, 83-88 interior. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening with isolated showers, then mostly clear. Humid. Patchy fog in low-elevations and near the South Coast. Lows 62-67. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered afternoon and early evening showers and thunderstorms, favoring central and eastern MA through southern NH. Humid. Highs 78-83 immediate coast, 83-88 interior. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered afternoon and early evening showers and thunderstorms, again favoring east central MA and southern NH. Humid. Highs 80-85 coast, 85-90 interior. Wind S 5-15 MPH with light coastal sea breezes.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the lower to middle 80s coast, upper 80s to lower 90s interior.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 6-10)
Same general pattern keeps high pressure off the East Coast and a fairly weak trough centered around the Great Lakes. Disturbances moving east and northeast from the trough may bring a few enhanced opportunities for showers/thunderstorms especially around August 7-8 and August 10, based on current medium range timing, but this is a low confidence forecast. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 11-15)
Slightly stronger high pressure offshore and weaker trough to the west means fewer opportunities for showers/storms and slightly hotter weather overall.

9:57PM

Very late update!

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 31-AUGUST 4)
New pattern becoming established now, high pressure off the East Coast, trough develops to the west. As previously stated, this results in a more classic summer feel and brings the risk of showers and storms at times, but no wash-out days.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-82 coast, 82-87 interior. Wind light S with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. An early shower Cape Ann MA. Lows 62-68. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-88 but cooling back slightly coastal areas. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the middle 80s to lower 90s, cooler South Coast.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, ending late. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Highs in the 80s but cooler South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 5-9)
A pattern of high pressure off the East Coast and a trough of low pressure centered around the Great Lakes will result in humid weather with occasional opportunities for showers and thunderstorms during this period. The greatest shower/storm threat appears to be around August 6, but will depend on position of trough and other factors, so much fine tuning will take place in the days ahead.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 10-14)
Similar pattern but stronger high pressure and weaker trough means warmer to hotter and more isolated shower/thunderstorm activity during this period.

10:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 30-AUGUST 3)
No big changes as far as what was discussed on the last post. High pressure dominates the last 2 days of July and into the early part of August as the pattern transitions toward one with high pressure more in control. You’ll start to notice a more classic summer feel as August gets underway.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 72-77 coast, 77-82 interior. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH becoming variable.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 52-57 interior, 57-62 coast/urban areas. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-82 coast, 82-87 interior. Wind light S with sea breezes.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs in the 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the middle 80s to lower 90s, cooler South Coast.

1:21PM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 29-AUGUST 2)
As we go through the last few days of July 2017, a pattern that has been fairly persistent will be on its last legs. But change does not come soon enough to save us from a weekend of below average temperatures, which may be great news to many people that don’t appreciate heat, and not so great news to others who were looking forward to some hot summer weather for the beach and pool time. This is the way of it. The fact remains, the weather is the weather, and no amount of wishing or superstitious behavior will alter what is to take place. However, all is not lost, because half of the weekend will be quite nice, when you consider the consensus of opinion, and that will be Sunday, which will feature more sun and less wind but still dry air. Today is a cloudier, cooler, and breezier day in response to a wave of low pressure moving out south of New England. As it departs, high pressure builds in for Sunday and Monday and July ends quite nicely. Pattern transition will be underway as August begins, starting with an increase in humidity and warm weather Tuesday and Wednesday…
THIS AFTERNOON: Clouds thickest over southeastern MA, RI, and eastern CT where spotty light showers are possible, and even a period of rain over Nantucket and possibly Martha’s Vineyard. Thinner clouds to the northwest. Slow clearing trend starting later in the day. Highs 65-70 immediate coast, 70-75 elsewhere. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH along the South Coast, shifting more to the N late.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Patchy fog in low-lying areas. Lows 48-53 interior areas, coolest over valleys/swamps/bogs, 53-58 coast. Wind light N.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 72-77 coast, 77-82 interior. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH becoming variable.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 52-57 interior, 57-62 coast/urban areas. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-82 coast, 82-87 interior. Wind light S with sea breezes.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs in the 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 3-7)
A pattern of high pressure off the East Coast and a trough of low pressure centered around the Great Lakes will result in humid weather with occasional opportunities for showers and thunderstorms during this period.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 8-12)
Similar pattern but stronger high pressure and weaker trough means warmer to hotter and more isolated shower/thunderstorm activity during this period.

5:21PM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 28-AUGUST 1)
Apologies for very late update. Quick summary: Wave of low pressure passes south of New England tonight and early Saturday with some wet weather favoring the South Coast area and some spotty light rain or drizzle getting a bit further north possibly before it all moves away and leaves the balance of the weekend dry. Temperatures will run below seasonal averages this weekend. The pattern changes starting Monday and Tuesday as we say bye to July and hello to August into a more consistent summer-feeling one. Will go into this more on tomorrow’s post. Quick forecast update now…
THROUGH SUNSET: Partly cloudy with slight risk of isolated showers. Temperatures in the 70s, coolest at the coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes diminishing.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain mainly far southern areas overnight. Lows 55-62. Wind E to NE 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH with higher gusts near the South Coast.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy morning with a chance of light rain/drizzle favoring far southern areas. Slow clearing afternoon. Highs 68-77, coolest South Coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH with higher gusts in the morning, becoming N 5-15 MPH all areas afternoon.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy valley, swamp, and bog fog. Lows 48-55 interior areas, coolest valleys, and 55-62 coast. Wind light N.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-80 coast, 80-85 interior. Wind light variable with sea breezes.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 2-6)
Typical early August pattern with higher humidity and a daily risk of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, though the chance may increase later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 7-11)
A fairly warm/humid pattern with occasional showers/thunderstorms is expected.

7:42AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 27-31)
A warm front combo today allows clouds to dominate, along with a risk of showers and later a few thunderstorms. This front pushes through far enough for fair weather to make a return for Friday, and then it will be about how close low pressure comes Friday night and Saturday, and how fast it departs. Staying with the same idea as yesterday for now for the weekend, with high pressure in control by Sunday, and into Monday as well.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Isolated thunderstorms later. More humid. Highs 75-82. Wind S 5-15 MPH becoming SW.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms early. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 63-69. Wind light SW becoming W.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 77-84. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to N.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain overnight. Lows 62-68. Wind light variable becoming E 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain in the morning. Highs 70-77. Wind E 5-15 MPH becoming variable.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 1-5)
A warmer pattern with westerly flow aloft and weak weather systems providing a risk of showers and thunderstorms a couple of times.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 6-10)
A similar pattern to the 6-10 day period is expected.

7:14AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 26-30)
Making a few adjustments in timing of systems for this update. We still get a great day today courtesy of a high pressure area overhead. However, adding more cloudiness and eventual shower/thunderstorm risk to Thursday’s forecast based on a cold front pushing in more quickly. The biggest change to the forecast comes with Friday/Saturday as it appears enough dry air will push in behind Thursday’s cold front to make Friday a generally nice day, and then the area of low pressure that appeared ready to make Friday nasty may pass a little further south and a little later, bringing unsettled weather later Friday night into part of Saturday, and hopefully moving along enough for a better ending to Saturday and then fair weather Sunday as high pressure returns. One thing seems certain, the weekend will be cool for the end of July.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83, but cooling back in some coastal areas. Wind W 5-15 MPH morning, becoming light variable with sea breezes in the afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 58-65. Wind light S.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms afternoon to early evening. More humid. Highs 77-84. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny daytime. Clouds return at night with a chance of rain late. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain morning. Clearing afternoon. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 31-AUGUST 4)
The feel of summer returns as a more westerly flow dominates aloft and high pressure retreats early in the period and is replaced later in the period. In between a frontal system may bring a few showers/thunderstorms around August 2 or 3.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 5-9)
Fair and a little drier early in the period then humidity increases and shower and thunderstorm threat returns.

7:23AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 25-29)
We had our very cool and wet Monday, but improvement will only be partial today as it will be less wet, but still fairly overcast and cool. Full improvement sneaks in tonight as the sky clears and sets up a beautiful summer day Wednesday as high pressure builds over the region. High pressure slips offshore and humidity starts to increase Thursday, as well as cloudiness later, and this will set up a potentially very wet day Friday as a potent disturbance move in from the west. Still need to work out details of this event as it gets closer.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Patchy drizzle. Scattered showers. Highs 63-70. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 55-62. Wind light NW.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83, but cooling back in some coastal areas. Wind W 5-15 MPH morning, becoming light variable with sea breezes in the afternoon.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms at night. More humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers/thunderstorms likely. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with lingering showers morning. Clearing afternoon. Lowering humidity. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 30-AUGUST 3)
High pressure moves in with fair/warmer weather July 30-31. Humidity increases along with some risk of showers/thunderstorms at times August 1-3.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 4-8)
Fair and a little drier early in the period then humidity increases and shower and thunderstorm threat returns.

7:19AM

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 24-28)
Cool and unsettled weather starts the week as a significant disturbance rides along a boundary near the New England South Coast. Plentiful moisture and good focus for it may result in a band of heavy rain, potentially leading to some flooding somewhere near the South Coast during the day today. It will continue cool and unsettled Tuesday as elongated low pressure hangs around to the south. High pressure builds in Wednesday with nice weather returning, including a warming trend which will last through Thursday. The next disturbance may be quite potent and is expected to arrive Friday with a shower/thunderstorm risk.
TODAY: Overcast. Rain likely, heavy at times especially South Coast. Temperatures fall slowly then steady 58-66. Wind NE 5-15 MPH interior, 15-25 MPH coast with a few higher gusts possible.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Patchy light rain. Lows 56-63. Wind light NE.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Highs 63-70. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 55-62. Wind light NW.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms at night. More humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 29-AUGUST 2)
Improving weather July 29 and fair, warm weather July 30-31. Shower and thunderstorm threat and high humidity the first couple days of August.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 3-7)
Fair and a little drier early in the period then humidity increases and shower and thunderstorm threat returns.
