DAYS 1-5 (JULY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we start this 5-day period considerably cooler than normal, with a frontal boundary sitting to our south, taking until sometime Wednesday to lift across the region, we are about to see some changes in our pattern, eventually leading to a more typical summertime set-up. But these are slow changes, first with the aforementioned warm front lifting through the region gradually, causing a couple more rounds of showers – a few around this morning, possibly a few more around overnight or early Wednesday. Later Wednesday, we’ll be in the warm sector but will lack complete clearing while a cold front approaches from the west. This cold front will be losing its identity as it pushes eastward as the air mass behind it, while a bit drier, is not really any cooler than the air mass it will be meeting ahead of it. However, with some daytime heating and instability, expect thunderstorms to fire off west of here, in NY State, during the day Wednesday, and remain strongest as they move into western New England, west of the WHW forecast area, during the afternoon, fading as they move eastward into the forecast area during the late afternoon and early evening, with just remnant activity probably all that is left, maybe never reaching the eastern coastal areas at all except for a few isolated survivors. So, if you have outdoor plans today and\/or tomorrow, while it won’t be perfect summer weather, much of the time will indeed be rain-free. Just keep an eye on radar if you can, just in case. When we get to the Thursday-Saturday period, we have 3-days of more typical summertime heat and humidity as high pressure builds aloft and surface high pressure slides off the Mid Atlantic Coast. Each of these days will have the risk of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, but don’t read into this as being the same soaking wet pattern we’ve been in. The chance of any activity will be minimal Thursday, just isolated at best, and with no more than a slight up-tick in the chance and coverage on Friday. It will be Saturday when we see a slightly better chance of showers and storms as a cold front moves into the region, but don’t get too nervous about your weekend plans at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A weak westerly flow will become dominant but to start the period a cold front will likely remain in the vicinity for July 18 with additional showers and thunderstorms possible before drier weather for a few days until the next system returns the chance of showers\/storms later in the period. This is a departure from the much wetter pattern we’d been experiencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trend to less active weather in terms of shower and storm threats, still present but less prominent with overall drier with mostly seasonable summer warmth, maybe a hotter day or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
