COMMENTARY<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We may be in the midst of events we did not picture just one year ago on the country’s birthday, but it is the country’s birthday, and this should be not only a time to reflect where we have been and where we are going, hopefully learning from the mistakes made along the way, but also a time to celebrate the nation, because even if there are questions about decisions and methods of handling things, disagreements on what is what, there is one thing that remains. We are all one country under one flag. Whether you are native to this land, or descendant of the many who have travelled to it, you are part of this one, and should be regarded as such. I am hopeful that we can heal the wounds and fix the errors going forward. But we need everybody to find a little bit of that hope. Send that message to your family and your friends. Ask them to do the same. We’ve had enough bad spreading among us. Now it’s time to spread some good. Happy Independence Day one and all! Happy Birthday United States of America! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 1-5 (JULY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The WHW forecast area remains entrenched in the marine layer this Saturday morning, but we will see an erosion of that layer take place gradually today and tonight, and more completely during Sunday, which in itself may be a very interesting weather day. But first, a rather calm day today, just lots of clouds, which do erode especially away from the coast. How quickly this occurs will determine how much sun arrives and for how long. So today’s full temperature range on the forecast takes into account that uncertainty. I’m not advocating the use of personal fireworks in areas where they are illegal, but if you happen to be “viewing” them somewhere this evening, the weather will cooperate. Onto Sunday: An interesting set-up for thunderstorms, not a widespread outbreak, but warmer and more humid air at the surface, cooler aloft and a fairly vigorous disturbance coming down from the northwest. We will see a risk of thunderstorms, favoring southern NH and eastern MA, during the afternoon and evening. Some of these may be strong to locally severe, so we need to eye it closely. Additional kickers for activity may include a sea breeze boundary, and any outflow boundaries leftover by possible activity occurring offshore in the pre-dawn hours as well as any early showers and storms that may pop up. I’m making a minor change to the forecast going into early next week. Behind Sunday’s disturbance, and I should have known, comes a little push of high pressure from eastern Canada, which means Monday will be a day of northerly to easterly wind but with dry weather. Then as the high slips off to the southeast, the wind will turn more southeasterly on Tuesday, which may feature more cloudiness as a warm front approaches. This will set up a more humid and warmer day Wednesday, with a warm front passing and a cold front approaching – a set-up for possible thunderstorms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY – INDEPENDENCE DAY: Mostly cloudy start. Clouds break for sun, especially away from the coast, during the day. Highs 68-75 within about 10 miles of the coast, 75-82 further inland. Wind E 5-15 MPH becoming variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Brief shower possible near NH Seacoast overnight. Lows 58-65. Wind E under 10 MPH shifting to S overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, favoring southern NH and northeastern MA. Humid. Highs 80-87. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy evening with possible showers and thunderstorms, favoring southeastern NH and eastern MA. Partly cloudy overnight. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind NW to N up to 10 MPH, gusty near any storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 73-80m, coolest coast. Wind N to E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Wind SE under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. More humid. Lows 63-70. Wind S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening. Humid. Highs 81-88, cooler some South Coast locations. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A piece of the upper level ridge from the West may move into the East will increase the risk of a few hotter days during this period, and we’ll have to watch for a few opportunities for showers and thunderstorms as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ridge center re-forms well to the west, leaving this area in a northwesterly air flow, which features a couple opportunities for showers and thunderstorms from passing disturbance, and temperatures generally near to slightly above normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
