DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high pressure area that gave us nice weather during the last couple days will continue to treat us today, but its center has shifted to the Middle Atlantic States and this will turn the wind southwesterly here, warming us up with most places (except the South Coast) getting into the 80s for highs under the June sun, which is just a couple days away from reaching its pinnacle in our sky. The summer solstice will occur at 11:31 p.m. Sunday night, June 20, at the very end of the weekend. But what about the weather over the weekend? Well, while the sun does shine today you’ll notice an increase in high cloudiness at times, and by the end of the day the sun, at least in parts of the region, may be setting behind a deck of thicker clouds. This is the signal of a warm front approaching the region from low pressure moving into southeastern Canada. As that low treks along, it will first drag that warm front across New England overnight and early Saturday morning, with lots of clouds and some scattered areas of showers, and possibly a thunderstorm in a few locations. We’ll bust into the warm and more humid air on the other side of that front during Saturday morning, and any time during the day and into at least early Saturday night, until a cold front passes through, we can see some isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. It definitely won’t rain everywhere and where it does rain it definitely won’t rain a great percentage of the time, but if you have outdoor plans keep an eye on the sky (or a reliable radar app) and have a plan should a shower or storm visit your location. Once the front clears the region, while Sunday will be nearly as warm as Saturday, it will be less humid as a drier air mass moves in, but for a short stay. The high pressure area that delivers that brief drying air will slide offshore by Monday and the humidity, along with some heat, will come right back. And there is still a question to answer regarding Tuesday, but it’s day 5 in the forecast so we have time. That question: Do the remains of tropical low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico make it all the way to New England to add some heavy rainfall to the mix ahead of an approaching cold front on Tuesday? Still not sure. The guidance has trended a bit south and some of it a bet less emphatic with this feature the last 24 hours so we’ll see where it goes with this today. It’s likely to be a very small feature in relation to many lows we track, so it won’t be easy to pin it down either way. We at least get the threat of showers\/storms at some point that day from the approaching \/ passing front, details dependent on frontal timing, with the wildcard of whether or not that low has any impact on the situation that day well, so for now, day 5’s wording will be general with fine-tuning to come in future updates…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure from Canada moves in via the Great Lakes with fair, mild, dry weather early in this period, then the high slides to and eventually off the Mid Atlantic Coast with increased warmth and humidity, and eventually some shower and thunderstorm opportunities, later in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
