DAYS 1-5 (JULY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pattern we’ve been in – yes, that pattern, the one that delivers rain at least part of every day (except one so far this month) for at least parts of the WHW forecast area. Yes, that pattern is showing signs of departing us, but not during the next 5 days, so we still have to talk about it here. However, you will note there are a couple of better days to talk about. Not really today though, which will still be a cloudy, cooler one, with a foggy\/drizzly start, and additional showers possible as we go through the day and upper level low pressure moves slowly across the region. And then this low exits tonight, and drier air arrives. Hey, Tuesday may be quite the nice day! It’ll be on the humid side, but the sun will shine for more of the day than many days we’ve had recently. Is there a chance of any rain on Tuesday? Well, yes. But this time it will only take the form of a few isolated sun + humidity driven showers that form during the afternoon, mostly in central MA and southern NH, and dissipate in the evening. So for most, Tuesday will be a rain-free day, and feeling quite a bit like the season it is as it warms into the 80s for most of the region with the exception of a few coastal areas, especially Cape Cod, but even there it will still be nice. But wait, we can’t string nice days together quite yet, so we have to talk about a cold front coming through the region on Wednesday with a better shower and thunderstorm threat. There’s some question on the timing of this front, or if much of the activity will form on a pre-frontal trough, leaving us with a quieter frontal passage after that. For now, just putting the chance of this activity in there for midday through afternoon, the fine-tuning from there. That front pushes offshore that night and a nice area of high pressure builds in for Thursday, which I am going to optimistically forecast as a dry day for the entire WHW area, with lower humidity. Pop up showers should stay in the mountains to our west and north, at least I think so. And again, no two nice days in a row allowed yet! So Friday, a low pressure trough swings through the region with another chance of showers, but the wet weather may be weighted more toward the first half of the day, based on current timing, so that day may be at least partially salvaged as nice…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drier weather for July 24. Watching for the next low pressure system to bring a chance of some wet weather sometime in the July 25-26 time frame, but timing is uncertain, and another minor system around July 27-28, but this sounds worse than it is as these will be quick-moving systems with plenty of dry time these days as well. Temperatures near to slightly below normal for this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 29 \u2013 AUGUST 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall pattern keeps us in a west to northwesterly air flow, with no major heat, temperatures near to slightly below normal, and a drier overall regime developing with fewer shower chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
