DAYS 1-5…
After a long delay for Boston’s first 90 of the Summer (they finally got there at 1:53PM Sunday), they actually have a shot at a heatwave if things happen just right. Heat is still hanging around today and Tuesday and will wait until a second cold front sweeps across the region Tuesday evening with a few showers and thunderstorms, introducing a cooler and drier air mass for the second half of the week. Before that, the boundary that caused yesterday’s storms well north and well west of Boston will be sitting over southeastern MA today and will ignite a few showers and thunderstorms in that region midday into the afternoon hours.
TODAY: Cloudiness along the South Coast and across Cape Cod to start with sunshine dominating elsewhere, then sun returns briefly to South Coast before clouds redevelop across that region with scattered midday and afternoon showers and thunderstorms, moving offshore later in the day while elsewhere remains mostly sunny. Highs in the 80s South Coast, 88-93 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 60s. Wind light W to SW.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of late-day and evening showers and thunderstorms. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 85-92 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 58-65. Highs 78-85.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 56-63. Highs 76-83.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-62. Highs 75-82.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 25-29)…
Warming trend weekend of July 25-26 with mainly dry weather Saturday and a chance of showers/thunderstorms by later Sunday. Showers/thunderstorms possible Monday July 27. Dry and warmer for the end of the period.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 30-AUGUST 3)…
Continued expectation of above normal temperatures and mostly below normal rainfall during the period.
DAYS 1-5…
Here is an update very worth noting. I made an analogy in the comment section of the previous blog about ocean waves and fronts/troughs. To me that is always a reminder of the uncertainty in weather forecasting. The uncertainty came into play this time and now results in a shift to the news that today/tonight will be the thunderstorm threat time, and there will be not much of anything happening Monday as what is left of a cold front passes and only drops the dew point / humidity down a notch. A second cold front will be coming along Tuesday and changing my previous forecast slightly to include more cloudiness and a risk of a shower or thunderstorm later in the day or evening. Behind this front a more refreshing air mass will for the middle of the week.
TODAY: Partly cloudy and hazy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms by mid to late afternoon then watch for clusters of showers and thunderstorms especially Boston area north and west by early evening. Thunderstorms may be strong to severe. Highs from near 80 to South Coast to around 90 most locations. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy with areas of showers and thunderstorms through midnight, with any storms possibly strong to severe. Partly cloudy with patchy fog overnight. Lows 65-70. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty, shifting to W 5-15 MPH overnight.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 85-92, cooler Cape Cod. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy day. Variably cloudy evening/night with a few showers/thunderstorms possible. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-65. Highs 75-85.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 24-28)…
Dry July 24-26 with pleasantly dry/warm weather to start then trending hotter and more humid over the weekend. Showers/thunderstorms possible July 27-28 with high humidity.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 29-AUGUST 2)…
Fair and warm July 29-31. Heat and humidity may build again later in the period about August 1-2.
DAYS 1-5…
Today is transition day as a warm front crosses southern New England from west to east with mainly morning showers, clouds lingering most of the day, and increasing humidity, but no heat yet. A very weak disturbance tonight may kick off a couple showers or thunderstorms but it’s likely that most places will not see any. Sunday will be the day of heat and high humidity and more sunshine with only a slight risk of a pop up shower or thunderstorm during the day. Sunday night and Monday will see a trough and a cold front push west to east and create a couple rounds of showers and thunderstorms. The one with the trough Sunday night is 50/50 whether or not it impacts all of the region as it may be dying out on its way through. Monday’s activity is likely to be more widespread and include downpours with local flash flooding, but a lower risk of any strong wind or hail as the timing will be too early in the day. It is always possible that 1 or 2 storms can still attain severe intensity including strong winds, so this will be closely watched. Later Monday look for improvement but a slow drop-off in humidity not really being felt until Tuesday and Wednesday of next week which will both be fair and warm days as we are now in a more typical July pattern.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy. Lingering showers ending west to east by late morning. Increasingly humid. Highs 75-82 though a little cooler in a few South Coast locations. Wind S 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Slight risk of an isolated shower or thunderstorm. Muggy. Lows 65-70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny and hazy. Slight risk of isolated showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon. Humid. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 85-92 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy and hazy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly late night. Muggy. Lows 67-75. Wind SW 5-15 MPH and gusty.
MONDAY: Cloudy with numerous showers and thunderstorms through midday. Variably cloudy with lingering showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Clearing at night. Still humid. Highs in the 80s, some 70s South Coast.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 28-AUGUST 1)…
Look for a pattern of above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall during this period.
DAYS 1-5…
High pressure starts to move away to the east northeast today, still a great Summer day though. Warm front passes through from west to east morning and midday Saturday bringing a chance of brief light rain and opening the door for the humidity which will last into early next week, along with some heat by Sunday. A cold front will bring a shower/thunderstorm threat for Monday. Dry weather returns Tuesday but in terms of the end of the rain threat and somewhat lower humidity.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 27-31)…
Temperatures above normal and rainfall below normal overall during the last several days of the month.
DAYS 1-5…
High pressure moves in today with refreshing air from Canada and lots of sun. The high starts to move away to the east northeast on Friday which will still be a nice day but feature more high cloudiness. Disturbance moves through from west to east Saturday with lots of clouds but only a few showers. Fair weather Sunday between the departure of Saturday’s disturbance and the arrival of another disturbance from the west Monday with another shot at showers as well as thunderstorms.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light N to E.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 26-30)…
Warmer to hotter pattern becoming more likely with a few passing showers/thunderstorms but largely dry weather during this period.
DAYS 1-5…
Muggy and unsettled today as a cold front pushes through and low pressure forms offshore. It all gets pushed out by high pressure which brings great weather Thursday and Friday. Humidity slowly returns over the weekend but the shower threat will be very limited with only a couple very weak disturbances around.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Developing showers and possible thunderstorms in any area by midday but favoring southeastern MA and RI during the afternoon. A few downpours likely. Humid. Highs 75-83, cooler some coastal areas. Wind variable from N to E up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except 75-80 South Coast.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 19-23)…
High pressure slips to the east and allows humidity and a slight risk of showers to return July 19. Upper level high pressure takes over in the southeastern US eventually wanting to push northward, but will still come into battle with a just stream over the northern US and southern Canada. Overall this is a warmer pattern with a few episodes of showers and thunderstorms in the middle to the end of the period.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 24-28)…
Stronger high pressure ridge in the US Southeast and northward-displaced jet stream spells out hotter weather with less of a shower and thunderstorm threat overall during this period.
DAYS 1-5…
The work week (unless it’s a vacation week for you) will feature 3 humid days then 2 drier days.
A light wind flow becomes mostly southeast today as 2 fronts work into the region, one a weak warm front from the south, and the other a weak cold front from the north. The cold front will dissipate and the warm front will push through the region, providing enough focus for a few showers to pop up, mainly interior central to northern MA and southern NH. As the boundary lifts to the north a muggy southerly breeze will take over and last through Tuesday, which will be dominated by cloudiness and a slightly better risk of passing showers. Finally a cold front will push through the region on Wednesday with a better chance of showers/thunderstorms. By Thursday, a high pressure area will push all of the humid and unsettled weather eastward and a drier and mild air mass will replace the muggy one. Great Summer weather is likely on Friday as well as high pressure remains in control.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers mainly east central to north central MA and southern NH favoring late morning through mid afternoon. More humid. Highs 70s coast, 80s interior. Wind light SE.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Wind light S.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs 70s coast, 80-85 interior.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs 70s coast, 80-85 interior.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 18-22)…
High pressure slips to the east and allows humidity and a slight risk of showers to return July 18-19. Upper level high pressure takes over in the southeastern US eventually wanting to push northward, but will still come into battle with a just stream over the northern US and southern Canada. Overall this is a warmer pattern with a few episodes of showers and thunderstorms in the middle to the end of the period.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 23-27)…
Stronger high pressure ridge in the US Southeast and northward-displaced jet stream spells out hotter weather with less of a shower and thunderstorm threat overall during this period.
DAYS 1-5…
Great Summer weekend continues but once again as many other days have seen, there is areas of smoke high in the sky from the forest fires in Canada, and this will give the sky a more milky look rather than a deeper blue! Boston still has a shot at seeing their first 90 degree day since September 6 2014. It all comes down to wind direction. The edge comes off the warmth Monday as the wind starts to turn onshore across southeastern New England due to configuration of weak high pressure to the north and weak low pressure to the south. A low pressure trough will bring unsettled weather Tuesday and Wednesday, then this gets kicked offshore by high pressure with improving weather by Thursday.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny but sun filtered at times by smoke aloft. Highs 85-92. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 60s. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 78-86, coolest at the coast. Wind light S to SE.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs 75-83.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs 75-83.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs 78-85.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 17-21)…
A few showers and thunderstorms possible July 17 with a disturbance. A nice July 18-19. Another disturbance brings additional showers/thunderstorms around July 20-21. Temperatures near normal.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 23-26)…
Flat ridge expands into the Northeast with only isolated showers and thunderstorms and temperatures warming to above normal.
DAYS 1-5…
Great Summer weekend! No changes to previous discussion regarding the weather this weekend, which may feature the first 90 degree day in Boston since September 6 2014 (unless a sea breeze has something else to say about it). Still looking for another very warm day Monday then a slight cooling trend with unsettled weather Tuesday into Wednesday.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 75-80 Cape Cod and Islands, 80s elsewhere. Wind light NW becoming variable with light sea breezes in coastal areas.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 60s. Wind light W.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 85-92. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Risk of showers/thunderstorms at night. Lows 64-72. Highs 82-90, cooler coast.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs 75-83.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs 75-83.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 16-20)…
Weak trough moves through the Northeast with a few episodes of showers and thunderstorms and temperatures near to slightly below normal.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 21-25)…
Flat ridge expands into the Northeast with only isolated showers and thunderstorms and temperatures warming to above normal.
DAY 1-5…
No major changes since yesterday’s update, though a little more confident that the threat of an isolated storm can be removed from Sunday’s forecast, making for a completely dry weekend and a nice feel of Summer without very high humidity.
TODAY: Cloudy with patchy fog into mid morning then clearing northwest to southeast remainder of day.
Highs 75-82. Wind variable becoming W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 58-65. Wind light W.
SATURDAY: Sunny. Highs 80-87, some upper 70s coast. Wind light W but with coastal sea breezes.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 60-67. Highs 83-90, cooler South Coast.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Lows 63-70. Highs 85-92, cooler South Coast.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 60-67. Highs 70-77.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 15-19)…
Low pressure trough dominates the weather with a couple additional episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms and higher humidity with near to slightly below normal temperatures during this period.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 20-24)…
Trough exits the Northeast, ridge builds into the eastern US during this period with the weather trending drier and hotter.
DAY 1-5…
A disturbance will pass just south of New England tonight. Ahead of it will be lots of high cloudiness, during its passage will come a package of rain and embedded thunderstorms for at least part of the region (will have to follow radar later today and tonight to see its exact configuration and area of impact), behind it will be some lingering showers and clouds to start Friday followed by improvement. This improvement will take full hold by later Friday and last through the weekend, which will turn warmer and more humid with time – a classic July feel. If you have any outdoor plans this weekend, you picked a good one. Though an isolated thunderstorm may visit a few areas by late Sunday, the vast majority of if not all of the area will be rain-free from midday Friday right through the weekend. The feel of Summer continues Monday before a cold front moves through with showers and thunderstorms more likely later Monday.
TODAY: Filtered to dimmed sun with lots of high clouds, with sun finally fading away by evening. Highs in the 70s, coolest coast. Wind light NE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A period or 2 of rain for many areas along with embedded thunderstorms possible. Some rain may be heavy. Lows in the 60s. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with lingering showers until mid morning. Breaking clouds late morning. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny afternoon. Highs 75-82. Wind variable becoming W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 58-65. Highs 80-87, few cooler coastal areas.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated thunderstorms possible late. Lows 60-67. Highs 83-90, few cooler coastal areas.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Lows 63-70. Highs 85-92, cooler South Coast.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 14-18)…
Trough swings slowly through the Northeast with showers and thunderstorms to start the period and another potential period of unsettled weather from later July 16 to early July 18. Temperatures near to below normal.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 19-23)…
Trough exits the Northeast, ridge builds into the eastern US by later in the period with the weather trending drier and hotter.
DAYS 1-5…
Cold front slowly pushes through the region today with showers and eventually some thunderstorms. Greatest chance of storms will be in eastern MA and RI with some potential flash flooding. Front sits just off the South Coast by Thursday morning and a wave of low pressure coming along may produce additional showers especially near the South Coast. All clears away Friday as high pressure moves in for Summery weather into if not through the weekend. A front getting closer Sunday may introduce a shower and thunderstorm risk by then.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely by midday especially west of Boston and in the afternoon favoring eastern and southern MA through RI. Highs 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to W during the afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 60-65. Wind light N.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs in the 70s. Wind light NE.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-65. Highs 78-85.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 60-65. Highs 80-87, cooler South Coast.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Late-day thunderstorm possible. Lows 65-70. Highs 83-90, cooler South Coast.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 13-17)…
A shower and thunderstorm threat and cooling down July 13-14 as a trough moves through. Improving weather and warming up July 15-17.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 18-22)…
Temperatures near to above normal and rainfall near to below normal during this period. Pattern may be readjusting to more ridging in the eastern US and will watch for this possibility. May be slow to occur.
DAYS 1-5…
Warm front today / cold front Wednesday – still on the agenda. Timing of Wednesday’s cold front remains key to any potential for stronger or possibly severe storms. It looks like a slower-moving front taking its time getting through during the afternoon, so storms can fire along the boundary and be moderate to strong. There is an outside risk of a couple severe storms favoring eastern and southern MA down into RI. Thursday’s forecast is a little more uncertain as the front will be very close to the South Coast and a disturbance coming along will likely enhance cloudiness and the shower threat at some point. Better weather is still expected to return Friday and Saturday.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of passing showers. Humid. Highs 70s South Coast, 80-85 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely by midday especially west of Boston and in the afternoon favoring eastern and southern MA through RI. Highs 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to W during the afternoon.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 60-65. Highs 75-83.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-65. Highs 78-85.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 60-65. Highs 80-87.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 12-16)…
Summery Sunday July 12 but thunderstorms possible by late day. A shower and thunderstorm threat and cooling down July 13-14 as a trough moves through. Improving weather and warming up July 15-16.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 17-21)…
Temperatures near to above normal and rainfall near to below normal during this period. Pattern may be readjusting to more ridging in the eastern US and will watch for this possibility.
DAYS 1-5…
High pressure hangs on with another nice day to start the week, though there is still some smoke aloft in the sky from Canadian forest fires. Warm front / cold front combo still expected for Tuesday and Wednesday with more cloudiness, a risk of a few showers Tuesday and a better shot and showers and thunderstorms Wednesday. Timing of Wednesday’s cold front is key in determining high temperature and coverage and intensity of any thunderstorms. The earlier the front, the less intense the storms will likely be. A later frontal arrival would mean more heat and a stronger storms. Will try to pinpoint timing by tomorrow’s update. Drier air mass arrives Thursday but a disturbance aloft may bring at least some cloudiness and possibly a few showers. Great Summer weather arrives at the end of the week.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 80s except 70s South Coast. Wind S up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Wind light S.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of brief periods of light rain. More humid. Highs 70s South Coast, 80-85 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. Lows 65-70. Highs 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Slight chance of showers. Lows 60-65. Highs 75-83.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-65. Highs 78-85.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 11-15)…
Slowing timing of systems slightly to allow for a great Summer weekend July 11-12. Trough moving through from west brings the chance of showers/thunderstorms July 13-15. Temperatures near to above normal to start followed by a slight cooling trend.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 16-20)…
Flat ridge of high pressure from the South Central US through the Southeast and off into the Atlantic, still not far enough north to promote big heat in the Northeast, but jet stream far enough north to allow for near to above normal temperatures. Disturbances coming along the jet stream may produce a few episodes of showers/t-storms.
