DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One more hot day from the Bermuda High before a cold front puts an end to the hot spell on Saturday – a transition day, then refreshing air by Sunday. First, more of the same today – sunshine, heat, and high humidity, but only the slight chance of a pop up air mass shower or thunderstorm later, although today’s high temperatures on average will likely come in a bit lower than yesterday’s, and the wind field is weak enough that a light sea breeze may develop at the shoreline, taking a few more degrees off the afternoon temperatures compared to yesterday. Similar to yesterday, a line of showers and thunderstorms will probably fire up over New York later, but today’s activity should occur further west and take longer to get into New England. However the remnants of that line may get into the WHW forecast area in the form of a few showers and possibly a thunderstorm sometime overnight (early hours of Saturday). The cold front responsible for that activity will then cross our region during late morning to late afternoon from west to east Saturday, and based on this timing combined with daytime heating, the greatest chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day Saturday will take place earliest (late morning-midday) in southern NH to central MA and eastern CT, then progress through the remainder of MA and RI early to mid afternoon exiting via Cape Cod later in the day. This frontal timing will not allow temperature to exceed 90 in most areas, and although it will start out quite humid, the passage of the front will deliver less humid air in rather rapid fashion as the day goes on. By Saturday night, we’ll have cleared out and much more comfortable air will have arrived, and this will be the case Sunday with lots of sun, mild air, and low humidity as high pressure builds in. This high will then sit over the region early next week with a great stretch of mid August weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure holds with dry and seasonably warm weather for August 18. High pressure shifts offshore with higher humidity and chance of showers by August 19. August 20-22 indications are for a southwesterly flow with a daily opportunity for showers and thunderstorms as a frontal boundary moves into the region from the west. Does not look like an overly wet pattern, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uncertainty for this period pending the movement of a frontal boundary nearby and the potential for some tropical activity near the US East Coast. For now continuing with the idea of fairly humid and seasonably warm weather with the occasional chance for showers and thunderstorms amidst plenty of rain-free time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
