DAYS 1-5 ( JULY 29 \u2013 AUGUST 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One cold front came through the region late yesterday but due to warm air aloft, shower and thunderstorm development was quite limited, with most of the activity (small downpours and a few thunderstorms) being limited to near the South Coast in the most humid air with a little help from convergence. Now we have a batch of less humid and slightly cooler air in the region today, which by definition will still turn out to be a hot summer day. You’ll just notice it being a little easier to take than yesterday was. Reminder: If you are working or exercising outside, it’s still important to take breaks and hydrate, even if it’s “not as bad”. Also of important note, while today will be a dry (rain-free) day for the vast majority of the the southeastern New England region, the front that went by yesterday is not that far to the south and some moisture still moving up along it has produced an area of showers and thunderstorms south southwest of New England overnight, and a piece of this may clip Martha’s Vineyard and the elbow of Cape Cod and likely crossing Nantucket during mid to perhaps late morning… We get some of the humidity back Thursday, but not really any up-tick in the heat from today. This will occur as another cold front approaches and moves into the region. Similar to yesterday, a few showers and storms may ignite with the approach and passage of this front, but I’m not expecting widespread activity and the risk of any severe storms is quite low. This front likely will hang itself up near the South Coast for a while on Friday and a little ripple of low pressure may move along it, keeping cloudiness over the region for a time on Friday and possibly some wet weather especially near the South Coast. Finally, high pressure should win out and provide nice weather for later Friday and Saturday as we make the transition from July to August. Sunday, look for an increase in both humidity and cloudiness as a some tropical moisture moves up from the southwest. While right now I think we may get through most of that day rain-free, at day 5 there is some uncertainty with the timing of such a threat, so just looking at it as a threat of afternoon showers at this time and will adjust and detail as it gets closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll be watching a tropical system (currently TD 9 in the eastern Caribbean and forecast to become TS Isaias as it moves through the Caribbean and toward the Bahamas and\/or South Florida by the weekend. While we have a pattern in place here that supports southerly air flow and tropical moisture, typical for early August, we’ll have to keep an eye on the track of this system, even if it dissipates over the Southeast US, for potential enhanced rainfall somewhere in the early to middle portion of this forecast period. Too early for any definitive call on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Current indications are for a weak westerly flow aloft and at the surface a potential battle between high pressure in Canada and high pressure off the US East Coast. This type of pattern can produce episodes of showers and thunderstorms but still plenty of rain-free hours as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
