8:45AM

DAYS 1-5…
Here is a quick update on quite a bit going on as we head into the weekend of the Summer Solstice. First, not a bad day today as high pressure dominates, though some high cloudiness will be coming in at times in advance of the moisture from Tropical Storm Bill, which has essentially held together as a tropical system over land for a very long time. Clouds thicken up by tonight and rain arrives overnight. Much of the region now looks in line for a pretty good dose of rain during the first 2/3 of Sunday as Bill crosses the region from west southwest to east northeast ahead of an approaching cold front. We may see some clearing and a muggy feel to the air as Bill departs and the cold front is still off the northwest. That front may produce some showers and thunderstorms at night. A second disturbance may kick off another shower or thunderstorm sometime on Monday but overall that should be a decent day. The next disturbance will bring a chance of a shower or thunderstorm Tuesday. We get a break Wednesday of next week as high pressure moves in.
TODAY: Sun and clouds with sun losing the battle later in the day from southwest to northeast. Highs 65-70 immediate coast, 70s inland. Light wind with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Thickening clouds. Rain arriving overnight. Lows around 60. Wind S 5-15 MPH and gusty.
SUNDAY: Cloudy into afternoon with rain and embedded thunderstorms. Downpours likely. Breaking clouds later in the day with some clearing possible. Humid. Highs in the 70s, some 60s immediate coastal areas. Wind variable 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a shower or thunderstorm. Lows around 60. Highs around 80, cooler coast.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a shower or thunderstorm. Lows around 60. Highs in the 70s, coolest coast.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-60. Highs 75-80, cooler some coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 25-29)…
Another disturbance brings a shower risk later Thursday June 25. Fair weather but below normal temperatures June 26-28. Wet weather possible by June 29 as a trough deepens over the Northeast.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)…
A cool and damp start to this period then a trend to warmer with a couple shower and thunderstorm threats.

7:35AM

DAYS 1-5…
A cold front pushes through southern New England from northwest to southeast this morning. High pressure builds in Saturday then quickly gives way to another approaching cold front and the remnant moisture from Tropical Storm Bill on Sunday resulting in an unsettled forecast for Sunday. The bulk of the tropical moisture from Bill may end up passing south of southern New England, however, during the first half of Sunday, based on current timing. This would limit the rainfall and possibly allow for the second half of the day to be not as bad as it may have been, despite a shower and thunderstorm threat. High pressure returns Monday and yet another frontal system will push through on Tuesday, this one with limited moisture to worth with.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Isolated showers. A risk of a broken band of heavier showers near the South Coast early this afternoon. Highs 70s South Coast, 78-83 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH shifting to N with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows in the 50s. Wind light N.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 73-80. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Highs 68-75.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows around 60. Highs around 80, cooler South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 24-28)…
Fairly weak weather systems in a fast-moving jet stream. Limited rainfall. Temperatures near normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 29-JULY 3)…
Trough passes through Northeast early in the period, but low amplitude, may bring some showers and cooler air before it warms back to near to above normal levels with still a few shower and thunderstorm threats around later in the period.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5…
An approaching disturbance will deliver lots of clouds today as a high pressure area moves away to the east. This disturbance won’t produce much in the way of rain and will then be pushed out of here by a cold front bringing a few showers during early Friday. High pressure builds in later Friday through Saturday with more nice weather. The next frontal system will approach on Sunday with a risk of showers/t-storms. We’ll have to continue to watch moisture from former Tropical Storm Bill that made landfall in Texas earlier in the week. This could enhance rainfall for some areas on Sunday. Drier weather returns by Monday.
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Highs in the 60s coast, 70-75 interior. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Slight chance of very light rain. Lows around 60. Wind SE to variable up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy with scattered showers morning. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny afternoon. Highs in the 70s. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH early, shifting to W with higher gusts midday and afternoon.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-63. Highs 73-80.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Highs 68-75.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 23-27)…
Fairly weather systems in a fast-moving jet stream. Dry start, wet middle, dry end to this period. Temperatures near to slightly below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 28-JULY 2)…
West to east jet stream in general over a ridge in the US Southeast. Cooler regime for eastern Canada. Southern New England will be near the battle zone with a few disturbances bringing shower and thunderstorm threats. Overall temperatures are expected to be near normal with rainfall near to below normal.

3:09AM

DAYS 1-5…
A generally zonal pattern will be the rule in the coming days with weather systems moving right along. High pressure slides across New England today providing fair weather with a pleasant, dry air mass. An approaching disturbance sends clouds into the region Thursday as the high slips off to the east. This disturbance won’t produce much in the way of rain and will then be pushed out of here by a cold front bringing a few showers during early Friday. High pressure builds in later Friday through Saturday with more nice weather. The next frontal system will approach on Sunday with a risk of showers/t-storms. The wild card is the remnant moisture from Tropical Storm Bill, which came ashore in Texas on Tuesday. At this stage it it uncertain how much moisture will make the trip north and be pulled along by the jet stream and move up ahead of the cold front on Sunday. So for now the forecast will just carry the increased risk for some wet weather at that time and will be fine-tuned as that day approaches.
TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy with some high clouds streaming in from the west. Highs 65-70 coastal areas, 70s interior. Wind N 5-15 MPH shifting to E.
TONIGHT: Variable high clouds. Lows in the 50s. Wind light E.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy with mid level clouds more dominant. Highs in the 60s coast, 70-75 interior. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Slight chance of very light rain. Lows around 60. Wind SE to variable up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy with scattered showers morning. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny afternoon. Highs in the 70s. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH early, shifting to W with higher gusts midday and afternoon.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-63. Highs 73-80.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Highs 68-75.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 22-26)…
A shot of cooler air to start next week on Monday then a quick warm-up on Tuesday with dry weather. Mid to end portion of the week is expected to be unsettled with near to below normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 27-JULY 1)…
West to east jet stream in general. Flat ridge of high pressure centered in the US Southeast means that Summer warmth will be nearby, but jet stream overhead holds it at bay and allows cooler air to the north to flirt with the region at times as passing disturbances cause air mass changes to take place. End result is near normal temperatures and near to below normal rainfall overall for this period. Have to keep an eye on that ridge in the longer term should it try to build further north than currently expected.

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5…
A cold front slogs through the region today and this evening and produces the risk of showers and thunderstorms, especially later today and this evening. A few of these may produce heavy rain. Any stronger storms would be confined to inland locations but the chance of these is rather low. A few areas may see some beneficial rain but this will be more of an isolated occurrence rather than a widespread event. High pressure moves in for midweek with nice weather. A disturbance brings clouds back later Thursday through early Friday with a shower risk. Improving weather during Friday and a great start to the weekend expected.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Patchy light fog in the morning. Chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm mainly mid afternoon on. Highs in the 70s, some upper 60s coast. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with showers and a chance of thunderstorms evening. Clearing overnight. Patchy fog. Lows 55-60. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-80. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny AM. Increasing clouds PM. Showers at night. Lows 55-60. Highs in the 70s.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Showers early. Lows 60-65. Highs in the 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 60-65. Highs 70s coast, 80-85 interior.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 21-25)…
Remains of Tropical Storm Bill will likely pass mostly northwest of New England later in the weekend but a cold front approaching may set off some showers and thunderstorms anyway. At this stage it does not look like a wash-out. A break early in the week before midweek showers. Temperatures variable during the period may average out around normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 26-30)…
The last 5 days of the month are expected to feature the attempt of a flat ridge in the east but a still-close-by jet stream and west to east flow. This type of pattern brings regular but passing disturbances with brief shower and t-storm threats with generally near to below normal rainfall and near to above normal temperatures.

7:37AM

DAYS 1-5…
A chilly and damp Monday ahead of a warm front which takes its sweet time to get through southeastern New England as a weak wave of low pressure forms on it. Finally get into the warmer air Tuesday but with lots of clouds and a risk of a shower or thunderstorm. Dry air arrives Wednesday courtesy an area of high pressure, lasting through most of Thursday before clouds arrive ahead of the next disturbance. This system will bring a chance of showers Thursday night and early Friday before improvement comes later Friday.
TODAY: Cloudy. Widespread rain through mid morning. Occasional rain late morning. Scattered showers and patchy drizzle afternoon. Highs in the 60s. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Patchy drizzle. Chance of a a shower. Lows 55-60. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm mainly mid afternoon on. Highs in the 70s. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs 75-80.
THURSDAY: Increasing clouds. Showers late. Lows 55-60. Highs in the 70s.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Showers early. Lows 60-65. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 20-24)…
Weekend may end up split with a dry Saturday and showery Sunday depending on a disturbance passing by and potential moisture from the tropics. I don’t expect much of that moisture to make it this far north but something to watch. Another trough from the west may bring more showers and cooler weather late in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 25-29)…
Look for temperatures near to above normal, coolest along the coast. Rainfall near to below normal.

8:21AM

DAYS 1-5…
One change in the short term, and that is even though high pressure remains in control for today, there will be more high cloudiness than I had indicated, so even though the sun will shine, it will be filtered and dimmed at times. A period of wet weather is quite likely during the first half of Monday as a warm front approaches, and some additional patches of showers may occur later Monday as it takes all day to get that front through the region. A cold front will slowly push through the region on Tuesday, a day which will feature higher humidity and a risk of showers and thunderstorms. By Wednesday, high pressure will bring a pleasant June air mass to the region. This will be quickly followed by a disturbance bringing some cloudiness and a chance of showers for at least part of Thursday.
TODAY: Variably cloudy including sunshine, filtered to dimmed at times. Highs in the 70s but some upper 60s coast. Wind light variable with developing sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Clouding up. Chance of rain by dawn. Lows 55-60. Wind light E.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain, especially morning to midday. Highs in the 60s, coolest coast. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-60. Highs in the 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 60-65. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 19-23)…
A few weak disturbances around the region will provide a couple of shower threats during this time, including for part of the weekend of June 20-21. Ocean influence will continue on temperatures especially closer to the coast but overall seasonable temperatures are expected with rainfall near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 24-28)…
The first part of the period may feature cooler and showery weather, followed by a return to the pattern of weak disturbances and seasonable temperatures with near to below normal precipitation overall.

8:46AM

DAYS 1-5…
High pressure sinks southward into New England this weekend providing great weather. Warmest overall will be Saturday with a northerly wind since the air coming down from Canada is not all that cool. A more onshore flow will cool eastern areas of southern New England down on Sunday and set up an unsettled day Monday as a warm front approaches and brings lots of clouds and the risk of some showers or periods of rain. Not expecting an all-day soaker on Monday, however. A cold front will slowly push through the region on Tuesday, a day which will feature higher humidity and a risk of showers and thunderstorms. By Wednesday, high pressure will bring a pleasant June air mass to the region.
TODAY: Variably cloudy through midday but increasing sun north to south leading to a sunny afternoon. Highs 70s immediate coast, 80s otherwise. Wind N 10-20 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows in the 50s. Winds drop to calm.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs in the 70s but cooling back to the 60s coast. Light wind but with sea breezes.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of a few rain or shower episodes. Lows 55-60. Highs 65-73, coolest coast.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Highs 75-83, coolest coast.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-60. Highs in the 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 18-22)…
Upper air pattern supports warmth, but surface pattern places high pressure more to the north and a front in the vicinity at times. This will lead to a few shower episodes but overall dry weather with temperatures near normal coastal areas and near to above normal interior areas.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 23-27)…
A subtle shift with high pressure centered a little more to the east over the ocean may allow it to warm somewhat with temperatures near to above normal most areas but still coolest along the coast. Only minor disturbances around at times with no substantial, widespread rain events in sight.

7:42AM

DAYS 1-5…
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Highs 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially late. Lows in the 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Clouds and a chance of showers to start, followed by clearing from northwest to southeast by mid morning north and west of Boston and by early afternoon Cape Cod. Highs 75-82. Wind W to NW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Showers late. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 17-21)…
A few shower and thunderstorm threats as disturbances traverse the jet stream over the top of a ridge of high pressure centered in the east central US. June 19 and 21 most likely days for showers.
Temperatures near to above normal. Rainfall near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 22-26)…
No major changes to the pattern seen at this time. Temperatures near to above normal. Rainfall below normal. No widespread beneficial rain in sight.

7:40AM
4:38PM update to tweak late day/evening and also the wording in the 6-10 day forecast.

DAYS 1-5…
LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING: Areas of smoke aloft, otherwise mostly clear except some clouds and an isolated shower or thunderstorm near the South Coast. Temperatures slowly fall through 80s except 70s South Coast. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear to partly cloudy. Lows upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Sunny morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Highs 78-85. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with showers morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Lows 60-67. Highs 75-82.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Showers late. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 16-20)…
A few shower and thunderstorm threats as disturbances traverse the jet stream over the top of a ridge of high pressure centered in the east central US. Timing of shower/thunderstorm threats suspect but target June 16 and 19 at this time. Temperatures near to above normal. Rainfall near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 21-25)…
Similar pattern remains locked in for this period as well. Temperatures near to above normal. Rainfall below normal.

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5…
The next 3 days will have a Summer feel. Small bubbles of high pressure will bring fair weather Wednesday and Friday. A minor interruption comes Thursday as a cold front swings through. A couple things about this front: 1) It will be fast-moving and moisture-starved, and this timing will spare much of the region from showers and t-storms, though areas mainly south and southeast of Boston will run the risk of some activity. 2) The air behind the front won’t really be any cooler than what is ahead of it. The front will be more defined by a spike of humidity just ahead of it and some drying of the air behind it. We’ll have to wait for a stronger cold front to bring temperatures down a notch, and that will take place on the weekend. My early feeling is that a cold front will charge across southeastern New England during the first half of Saturday when there will be a shower and thunderstorm threat, after which the air will dry out during the second half of Saturday and set the region up for wonderful weather for Sunday, which is also Flag Day.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear to partly cloudy. Lows upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible late morning through early afternoon south of the Mass Pike. Highs upper 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere. Wind SW to W 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Sunny morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Lows 58-65. Highs 78-85.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with showers morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Lows 60-67. Highs 75-82.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 15-19)…
A few shower and thunderstorm threats as disturbances traverse the jet stream over the top of a ridge of high pressure centered in the east central US. Temperatures near to above normal. Rainfall near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 20-24)…
Similar pattern remains locked in for this period as well. Temperatures near to above normal. Rainfall below normal.

7:39AM

DAYS 1-5…
Cold front tracks slowly eastward across southern New England today bringing lots of clouds with a shower and thunderstorm threat. Though a few strong to severe storms are possible, I think severe weather will be limited. A few areas will see downpours, but we will not experience a widespread beneficial rain. High pressure brings fair weather Wednesday. A cold front brings a shower and thunderstorm threat Thursday along with a brief shot of heat and humidity. Warm, dry weather will return Friday with another high pressure area. But weather systems will be moving right along and the next one will bring wet weather to start the weekend, but should not be around long.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms at any time, then a broken line of showers and storms possible from west to east late afternoon or evening. Highs in the 70s, cooler some south-facing coastal areas. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening with showers and thunderstorms diminishing west to east. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 55-62.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70s south-facing coastal areas, 80-85 elsewhere. Wind variable to SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows 58-65. Highs 70-75 South Coast ranging up to 80-85 interior.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs 70s South Coast, 80s interior.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with showers morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 14-18)…
Similar pattern continues with a shower and thunderstorm threat around June 15 and June 17. Temperatures near to above normal. Rainfall near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 19-23)…
High pressure ridge attempts to become more established in the eastern US with above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall, but still some risk of showers and storms from passing disturbances in a nearby jet stream.

3:39AM

DAYS 1-5…
Low pressure tracks eastward, passing north of southern New England through Tuesday. Its accompanying warm front and cold front will bring varying amounts cloudiness and a shower and thunderstorm threat at times, especially Tuesday. High pressure brings fair weather Wednesday before the next frontal system brings a chance of a few showers and storms again Thursday. High pressure returns Friday with fair and warm weather.
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy with a slight risk of a passing shower. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 interior occurring late in the day. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to SW late.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of passing showers and thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and a chance of thunderstorms early through mid morning west to east and another chance of a few showers and possible thunderstorms late day or evening. Highs in the 70s, cooler some south-facing coastal areas. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-62. Highs 70 coastal areas to 80 interior.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows 58-65. Highs 70-75 South Coast ranging up to 80-85 interior.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs 70s South Coast, 80s interior.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 13-17)…
A shower or thunderstorm possible about every other day with disturbances moving through an active jet stream. Temperatures near to above normal, again frequently cooler in coastal areas by day. Rainfall near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 18-22)…
General pattern will feature a high pressure ridge in the east central US being held at bay somewhat from moving into the Northeast due to a somewhat persistent upper level low pressure area in eastern Canada. This will keep New England near a boundary and result in a few shower and thunderstorm chances and air mass changes during this period. Despite this rainfall will likely be near to below normal for the region as a whole with only isolated locations possibly seeing heavier amounts. Slight chance that the eastern Canadian low lifts out enough to allow a shot of hotter air into New England around June 21-22.

10:42AM

DAYS 1-5…
TODAY: Sunshine filtered at times by variable high clouds. Highs in the 60s coast, 70-75 well inland. Wind light variable with developing sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 50s. Wind light SE.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy with passing showers and a slight risk of a thunderstorm through mid afternoon then becoming partly cloudy late. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 interior occurring late in the day. Wind SE 5-15 MPH shifting to SW late.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and a chance of thunderstorms early through mid morning west to east and another chance of a few showers and possible thunderstorms late day or evening. Lows 58-65. Highs in the 70s, cooler some south-facing coastal areas.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-62. Highs 70 coastal areas to 80 interior.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 58-65. Highs 70-75 South Coast ranging up to 80-85 interior.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 12-16)…
June 12-13 expected to be mainly rain-free and quite warm but cannot rule out a shower or thunderstorm threat by later June 13. Slightly better chance of showers and storms around June 14-16 with temperatures near to above normal, but do not look for a widespread beneficial rain. Cool ocean water will continue to keep coastal areas often cooler than inland areas each day.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 18-22)…
General pattern will feature a high pressure ridge in the east central US being held at bay somewhat from moving into the Northeast due to a somewhat persistent upper level low pressure area in eastern Canada. This will keep New England near a boundary and result in a few shower and thunderstorm chances and air mass changes during this period. Despite this rainfall will likely be near to below normal for the region as a whole with only isolated locations possibly seeing heavier amounts. Slight chance that the eastern Canadian low lifts out enough to allow a shot of hotter air into New England around June 21-22.

11:11AM

DAYS 1-5…
THIS AFTERNOON: Increasing sun. Highs in the 60s coast, 70-75 well inland. Wind N to NE increasing to 10-20 MPH, higher gusts possible.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 40-45 interior valleys to around 50 coast. Wind light NE to N.
SUNDAY: Sunshine filtered at times but variable high clouds. Highs in the 60s coast, 70-75 well inland. Wind light variable with developing sea breezes.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy with passing showers and a slight risk of a thunderstorm through mid afternoon then becoming partly cloudy late. Lows in the 50s. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 interior occurring late.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows 55-62. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-62. Highs 70 coastal areas to 80 interior.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 11-15)…
Weak ridge provides fair and warm weather early in the period. Ridge tries to hold while weak trough tries to press in from the Great Lakes mid to late period. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase only slightly June 13-15 but widespread rain is not likely. Temperatures come down slightly to around normal during this time. Coastal locations will often be coolest during the daylight hours.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 17-21)…
Overall weather systems remain fairly weak with ridge near the East Coast and a broad west southwesterly flow from the middle of the country to the Great Lakes sending only weak fronts in the direction of the northeastern US. This pattern is one that features near to above normal temperatures and near to slightly below normal rainfall. Coastal areas will still be prone to sea breezes and cooler conditions due to the still-cool water temperatures.
Another passing low pressure trough brings some unsettled weather with episodes of showers and thunderstorms early in the period, then high pressure ridge returns with drier, warmer weather.
