DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We sit on the drier side of a boundary which will be drifting north and west over the coming days as high pressure starts to gain more anchor off the US East Coast, although this entire process will be quite slow. A large shield of cloudiness will fan up across the region today to the north and west of this boundary due to more humid air riding up over the drier air we have at the surface. Eventually these clouds will thicken and lower and we’ll have our greatest chance of showery weather from later Wednesday into Thursday as a wave of low pressure moves by on the boundary as it gets closer and moves into southeastern New England. Right now it appears that rainfall will be most concentrated and heaviest over Cape Cod and Nantucket – the places that actually need it as they had missed out on a large percentage of July’s rainfall and sit in abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions. The boundary washes out and dissipates over our region Friday and Saturday as high pressure continues to become more established off the East Coast, resulting in a warming trend, increased humidity, but not oppressive, and rain chances limited to only a few diurnal showers or thunderstorms far inland later Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trend is for stronger high pressure in the western Atlantic. At the surface a weak boundary may turn the wind back to easterly for a time August 8-9 with moderate temperatures, then a stronger push of southwesterly wind means some heat building in during the middle to end of this period. Limited shower and thunderstorm activity with most of the time rain-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure off the Atlantic Coast but also high pressure in eastern Canada means a boundary between the two may be closer to our region with continued warmth but a better chance of showers and thunderstorms during mid month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
