DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An early summer polar air mass has arrived from Canada via the Great Lakes, chasing out the early week’s humidity and yesterday’s rainfall. High pressure builds across the Great Lakes today sending the refreshing air in on a northwesterly breeze. High pressure moves right over the region later tonight and Thursday with light wind, allowing an afternoon sea breeze in coastal areas Thursday. Both days will feature a lot of sunshine, but there will be a canopy of high cloudiness across Cape Cod for a while today, a few passing fair weather clouds will pop up and cross the sky in the prevailing wind especially over interior locations during the late morning and afternoon today, and some patches of high and mid level clouds will start to move up from the south later Thursday as we see the first signs of returning warm air above us, though these should not take away from the day’s beauty, and may only add some color for sunset at least in southern areas Thursday evening. Later Thursday night and Friday there will be more extensive cloud cover and a few passing showers are possible as a warm front lifts northward through the region. You’ll notice a bit of an up-tick in humidity on Friday but with cloudiness and a southeasterly wind for a while, temperatures will be held in check. But the warmth will come in with more force during the course of the weekend, along with increased humidity, as high pressure anchors itself off the Mid Atlantic Coast in the western Atlantic and a frontal boundary makes a feeble but failing attempt to move in from the northwest, stopping well short of making itself felt. Other than the chance of a pop up air mass shower or thunderstorm mostly well to the west and north of Boston Saturday and Sunday, it is likely to be a rain-free weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 28 \u2013 JULY 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Latest trend is for high pressure offshore to hold a cold front back to the west and north of the region that will only gradually make its way in with the help of a couple disturbances moving along a weakened jet stream to the north. The basic result is minimal risk of any afternoon showers and t-storms early in the period with a slightly better chance mid to late period. Day-to-day details can’t be determined this far in advance. Temperatures should run generally above normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A weak or washed out frontal boundary hangs around early in the period and dissipates with minimal chances for showers\/thunderstorms with warm and at least moderately humid conditions. A stronger disturbance may approach later in the period with an increased chance for showers\/thunderstorms. Temperatures near to above normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
