DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A small area of high pressure keeps the region mainly dry today, but a weak trough approaching from the north may be enough to trigger a few isolated shower or thunderstorms in southern NH and maybe north central MA by late afternoon into evening before they fade away with the setting sun, which will otherwise be filtered today by a combination of high clouds and some high altitude smoke that we’ve seen several times so far this summer. As we get to tonight and Sunday, we’ll be in between an approaching front from the north and a weak area of low pressure to the south of New England. The front will help trigger a few isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms during the day Sunday, especially in southern NH and northern MA, while the low to the south may send a few showers into the South Coast region a few times during Sunday. This system will still be sitting there but drifting slowly northeastward during Monday while the front will have pushed southward across the region and high pressure builds over eastern Canada. This combination may result in a few lingering showers into early Monday mainly over RI and eastern MA, otherwise a cooler maritime air flow will dominate the region during Monday. This gradually shifts to a more southeast to southerly air flow during Tuesday as the front that had gone by from the north later Sunday will be coming back northeastward as a warm front, and this will bring some clouds and possibly a shower to a few areas Tuesday but otherwise expect dry weather. The feel of summer is back for Wednesday with high pressure building off the US East Coast and increasing heat and humidity in our region as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure remains off the East Coast while a frontal boundary slowly approaches from the northwest increasing the chance of showers and thunderstorms during August 12-13. Drier air should arrive with Canadian high pressure moving in during the August 14-15 weekend continuing through the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall pattern looks dry with high pressure in control, but high pressure should sink to the south with time allowing it to become more humid again with an eventual increase in the shower and thunderstorm chance. We may also need to keep an eye on potential tropical activity in the Atlantic off the US East Coast by this time, at least by later in the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
