DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hot spell is ours for the next 5 days. The hottest day is likely to be today, and there were be locations that catch some breaks from the heat, though the humidity is going to reside in the high category for most of us for the entire period, only knocked down almost unnoticed when a weakening cold front comes through the region late Friday and washes out over the region early in the weekend. Overall, there are no real changes to yesterday’s ideas. I’ve wrestled with the idea of whether or not thunderstorms from NY would reach the northwestern WHW forecast area later today, and yesterday I took them out of my forecast, but today I have to include the chance that one or two make it there this evening. Not looking for any severe storms, just remnant activity. Friday carries our greatest thunderstorm potential with the approach of the frontal boundary, which then diminishes to only widely scattered Saturday and isolated for Sunday as that boundary washes out over the region, but the approach of another front from the northwest by Monday increase the chance again later that day, based on current expected timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 92-99 except 85-92 South Coast and 78-85 Nantucket. Dew point upper 60s to lower 70s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The front that approaches late August 8 may take the entirety of August 9 to pass through so there will be a shower and thunderstorm chance that day. High pressure moves in with fair and warm but lower humidity weather August 10-11 before the humidity and thunderstorm chances increase later in the period, at least briefly. Watching for a possible push of drier air from the north at the very end of the period, but low confidence on that right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few hints starting to show up that we may see some pattern retrogression, putting the high pressure and hot weather back toward the middle of the US. If this takes place, the door may open to drier and somewhat cooler air from eastern Canada. Either way, rainfall pattern looks below normal allowing drought to continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
