DAYS 1-5 ( AUGUST 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While today will not be as sunny as yesterday was, we’re still not looking at a bad summer day, with partial sun eventually losing the battle to clouds, and only the minimal risk that a few showers work into areas outside of and around I-495 mid to late afternoon. This will be taking place as a warm front approaches the region. This front will cross the region tonight when there is a better risk of showers and even a few isolated thunderstorms. While our parameters are not ideal for severe weather, it’s important to keep an eye out for any isolated storm that can gets its act together, as they can produce isolated damage. The front will be by the region by Monday, which will be a very warm to hot and humid summer day with a southwesterly air flow. Other than the remote risk for a pop up shower or thunderstorm again mainly outside of I-495 later in the day, Monday should be a rain-free day. Then we can turn our attention toward Isaias, currently a tropical storm, and forecast by NHC to remain one for the duration of its run up the East Coast toward our region. We can discuss the impacts from Florida to the Mid Atlantic in the comments section of this blog over the next couple days. I will focus on its impacts here for the purposes of this discussion. Best guess now is we have a weakening tropical storm, getting ready to transition to post tropical, center passing west of the Boston area, possibly as far west as near the NY border with CT\/MA very early Wednesday. Typically, this set-up would produce a couple periods of rain or showers, not too heavy, initially, with that timing most likely during the day Tuesday, and a band or 2 of heavier tropical showers (possibly some thunder), that timing likely Tuesday night into the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday. As always, the right flank of a system like this creates its own wind shear, and that can be enough for a brief weak tornado in some of the convective showers. This will be a very low risk but as you have heard many times, if it’s a non-zero risk it is worth paying attention to. Except for a gusty westerly breeze Wednesday morning, the system will be a memory by then, with a nice day behind the departed system. High pressure will build in with another nice day expected Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered mid to late afternoon showers and possible thunderstorms, mainly west of to around the I-495 belt. More humid. Highs 78-85, coolest coastal areas. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers. Slight risk of a thunderstorm. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible late-day, mainly outside the I-495 belt. Humid. Highs 86-93, cooler South Coast. Wind S-SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Slight risk of a shower or thunderstorm. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A few episodes of rain or showers likely. Humid. Highs 75-82, coolest coastal areas. Wind SE-S 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Slight risk of thunderstorms that may contain locally strong wind gusts. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SE-S 15-25 MPH, higher gusts coastal areas, especially South Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Moderately humid. Highs 83-90. Wind W-SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts during the morning then diminishing during the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 60-67. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-87, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A frontal boundary to the south will get close enough for some cloudiness Friday but no more than a risk of showers near the South Coast. High pressure should win out for fair weather, seasonable temperatures, coolest coast, and moderate humidity over the August 8-9 weekend. A disturbance brings higher humidity and a risk of showers \/ thunderstorms August 10-11 but too far away to know any detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A weak block may form in the atmosphere (low pressure to south, high pressure to north in upper levels). This promotes surface high pressure to the north with a general maritime air flow (northeast to east) at the surface. With time high pressure would probably drift southward and keep the region dry with a late-period warm-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
