DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer has arrived and this first full day of it will surely make you know it. Heat and humidity will be the story of the day as high pressure offshore pumps that air in from the south. A gusty breeze will counteract some of the heat if you are outside, however. As a cold front approaches New England from the west, it will likely spawn a line of thunderstorms in NY today that will make it into far western New England by this evening before fading out as it tries to move eastward, having run out of support to survive. Only a spot pop-up storm is possible well in advance of this during the afternoon, but even these I believe should stay outside the WHW forecast area. A tropical low pressure area (maybe classified as a tropical storm) will be passing to the southeast of New England on Tuesday. Once thought to have a shot at bringing our region more widespread rainfall, all it will do is add a bit of moisture to the cold front that is moving across the region during the day, bringing the chance of showers and a few thunderstorms to the region. The greatest chance for any heavier downpours may be over southeastern MA and Cape Cod as that area has the chance to warm the most before the front arrives. Regardless of rainfall coverage and intensity, the front does clear the region by Tuesday evening at which time the air mass will change as the humidity breaks and much drier air flows in from Canada via the Great Lakes. High pressure will move across the region by Thursday providing another very nice day, then offshore Friday, at which time a warm front will approach then cross the area from south to north, bringing more cloudiness and the risk of some light rainfall or shower activity as the humidity starts to creep back up again…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cold front will approach from the west then move into the region during the course of the June 26-27 weekend, with Saturday having only a small risk of late-day showers\/thunderstorms mainly well to the west of Boston and Sunday having the better chance of showers\/storms in the region. With high pressure offshore the frontal boundary may hang around for a couple days, with additional shower\/t-storm chances, before being kicked offshore by a stronger westerly flow by the end of the period when an upper low may bring a few additional showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A weak frontal boundary may cross the region somewhere in the first few days of July with a risk of a few showers and thunderstorms, but the overall trend is for a westerly air flow and typical summertime warmth with mostly rain-free weather and moderate levels of humidity overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
