DAYS 1-5 (JULY 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “gift” that kept on giving. The upper low sent one more lobe of energy down across portions of the WHW forecast area last evening, bringing some showers to the region pretty much just in time for a lot of fireworks displays, but the ones scheduled all happened, because at that point I think everybody was pretty much used to the unsettled weather, everything was ready to go, and it just went ahead. At least there were no thunderstorms, nor did we see the widespread heavier rainfall of the previous few days. Finally, today, we get to say goodbye once and for all to that upper low, but not before it sends one final batch of clouds across the region this morning. Today will feature warmer weather than any of the past three days did, but it will be a modest warm-up, as most areas recover back to the 70s for highs, with relatively low humidity. But a warm front is heading this way, and will be evident by an increase in clouds again late today and tonight. I’ve been slightly concerned about some shower and thunderstorm activity with this warm front but I am pretty sure now that any activity will be rather isolated and favor areas to the north, but still cannot rule out an isolated shower\/t-storm or two getting into the area in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday. Regardless, heat and humidity makes a re-appearance on Tuesday, and a trough approaching the region during the afternoon and evening will bring a round of thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to severe. Greatest chance for the strongest activity will be in southern NH, northern and central MA and possibly into northeastern CT and northern RI, with a decent chance the activity weakens as it heads southeastward by evening. Nevertheless, anybody with outdoor plans or travel plans in the area should be aware of the storm risk and keep a close eye on the weather. A quieter but warm and muggy Tuesday night will be followed by a hot and humid Wednesday, but a cold front will move into the region and bring the chance of additional showers and thunderstorms. That front will move into, but not completely through the region, likely hanging up somewhere near the South Coast and sitting through there Friday. This will allow a couple waves of low pressure to ride along it, and some of the moisture from the remains of Elsa to become involved Thursday night into Friday, keeping the weather unsettled into if not through Friday. This time, however, we won’t see the temperatures drop nearly as low as they did over the holiday weekend…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weak high pressure should move in for a fair weather interlude July 10. After that, it’s back to unsettled weather as another low pressure area and frontal systems move in from the west and take their time getting out of here, bringing higher humidity and shower\/thunderstorm opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indications of a little stronger high pressure to the south and some upper ridging which increase the heat potential but may reduce the frequency of showers and storms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
