DAYS 1-5 (JULY 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hot weather will continue through the weekend, but today and Saturday will have lower humidity than the sultry spike we experienced yesterday. While only limited locations saw thunderstorm activity yesterday afternoon and evening, you didn’t have to see one of those to get the benefit of the lower dew point air the front causing them has delivered to the region. Qualification: This is not a push of refreshing dry air from Canada, but it’s definitely less humid than yesterday, so it will be a slightly drier heat really. But that’s something, if you are not a fan of the higher humidity. Make the most of it? These two days will also feature fair weather as high pressure dominates, but just a tiny little atmospheric disturbance will be drifting across the region this evening, and that may be enough to allow a couple isolated showers and thunderstorms to at least approach the western reaches of the WHW forecast area in CT, MA, and southwestern NH, late this afternoon or this evening (reflected in the forecast below as a slight chance of a brief evening shower or storm). The humidity makes a come-back Sunday, and that will also be our hottest day of the stretch, as it is clearly obvious now that the next approaching front will not be quick enough to send cloudiness into the region sooner. So expect a Sunday scorcher – no way around it other than the slightly cooler air on South Coast beaches and especially Cape Cod due to the southwesterly wind blowing across ocean water before reaching these areas. The heat breaks for Monday, although the humidity will be slow to exit, as a cold front ambles its way across the region. This enables showers and thunderstorms to develop and be around for a good portion of the day, but I’m not expecting a widespread beneficial rain – just an unsettled day until the frontal boundary as cleared the region. Right now I expect this will happen at some point by mid to late afternoon, but I may have to tweak that timing on future forecast updates. Regardless, lower dew point and seasonably warm air will be ours by Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
