DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The heat is on for one more day, along with high humidity. Today’s atmosphere is only marginally unstable which may allow for a couple isolated air pass thunderstorms to pop up in the afternoon heat, but it’s quite unlikely that any one location will see one. If you do win the thunderstorm lottery, you can expect a relatively short period of heavy rain with lightning and thunder, along with brief gusty wind and maybe small hail. For most of us though, just a hot and humid late summer day today. Tonight will be one of those warm and stuffy summer nights, but during the night a cold front will be passing by with little fanfare, perhaps a shower or thunderstorm in a few locations, otherwise this front will be announced by a wind shift to north and a drop in the dew point, and while Friday will still be a fairly warm day (80s), the dew point will be falling through the 60s after having been near or over 70 today. But we’re not quite done yet, as a second front, a back-door cold front, will cross our region Friday night, shifting the wind to northeast and eventually east and making it even cooler. The dew point will reduce further so in relativity to today and early Friday it will feel even drier, but not quite as crisp had we had a continental air mass, instead of a maritime one. In addition, cloud cover will be abundant on Saturday both from some low level ocean moisture from the east, and mid level moisture from the west. So while that day will probably be rain-free, don’t expect a stellar one with lots of sunshine either. The cooler air hangs on Sunday but add in the chance of showers as the boundary that went by us to bring the cooler air is returning as a warm front. This front will push back across the region by Monday which will see the return of warmth (not too hot) and higher humidity, with an additional shower and thunderstorm chance as cold front then approaches from the northwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sun and a few clouds. A slight chance of an isolated afternoon thunderstorm favoring southwestern NH, central MA, and eastern CT areas. Highs 87-94. Dew point near 70. Wind W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 31 \u2013 SEPTEMBER 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little unsure of timing but front may still be in the region August 31 with a shower threat then lowering humidity. A disturbance brings a shower chance in the September 1-2 window and there may also be some tropical moisture involved from a system that had been in the Gulf of Mexico previously. A warm and humid set-up follows this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching for shower threats around September 6-7 and possibly again by the end of the period from disturbances which we can’t really time this far in advance. Much of this period, despite the couple shower threats, looks rain free, controlled mostly by high pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
