DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Classic summertime pattern for New England over the next 5 days. First, high pressure sits over us today with warm air but lower humidity behind a weak cold front that passed by our region during yesterday. This front produced a few showers and thunderstorms, but most locations went without. Everybody gets the humidity break today though, and many areas will fail to reach 90, though some interior locations may touch it this afternoon. Expect a coastal sea breeze to provide natural air conditioning for the beaches. The Bermuda High heat pump takes hold for Thursday through the weekend, but the hottest day, temperature-wise, will be Thursday when dew points start out lower and give the atmosphere a chance to heat up more rapidly. The thunderstorms that I previously mentioned to watch for late in the day for the northwestern reaches of the WHW forecast area will probably take place a little further west and an hour or two later than I envisioned previously, so I am removing this chance from the forecast other than us seeing a deck of clouds on the horizon that may blot out the sun before it reaches the horizon Thursday. Friday and the weekend will be very warm to hot and humid, with highest dew points likely on Friday. They may come down just a bit for the weekend as what used to be a cold front moving into the region on Friday will wash out and dissipate as it runs into the influence of the Bermuda High, but will have brought with it every-so-slightly less humid air. Many won’t notice a big difference though, except possibly along the coast where a few sea breeze may take place on the weekend – more likely Saturday than Sunday. Also, I expect that the weekend will be largely a rain-free time period, but I cannot rule out a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms popping up. There may also be a little bit more in the way of mid level cloudiness at times during the course of the weekend from some air lifting over what used to be that frontal boundary, and a couple very weak disturbances coming along in the southwesterly air flow over the Northeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High humidity and very warm to hot weather with a thunderstorm threat as a cold front moves into and across the region during August 8. High pressure builds in with fair weather, lower humidity but still moderate, and temperatures near to above normal August 9-11 before humidity and shower chances go up at the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
