DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A back-door cold front made it down through the NH Seacoast region to about eastern and northern reaches of Cape Ann MA during last night. Today, it pushes back the other way keeping all of us in the heat and humidity combo for one more day before a cold front moves across the region this evening. Ahead of this front there is a very good chance of thunderstorms, but the coverage may not be widespread, but rather scattered to numerous, and the leaning is toward the southern half of MA southward for the heaviest cells this afternoon into this evening, some of which can be severe. Areas to the north should pay attention too during this afternoon as a few stronger storms are still possible there as well. Once the front moves by, the heat is pushed out, but as is typical for August, there’s not a strong push of drier air right behind this boundary, so while Wednesday is to be a considerably cooler day, the humidity will still be elevated and we’ll see lots of clouds with a general northeasterly air flow. Sadly, what I had hoped would be a beneficial rainfall event from a wave of low pressure doesn’t seem like it is in the cards now, but we’ll watch for a surprise. That wave looks weaker and fairly quick moving, timed for Wednesday night and early Thursday, favoring RI and southeastern MA where a few hours of rainfall may take place before the region ends up with a fairly nice day Thursday – sun\/cloud mix, still a bit humid, but not hot. Another frontal boundary pushes through Thursday night into Friday, and this may kick off a few more showers during about a 12 hour period of time as we transition to much lower humidity and a cooler ending to the work week. High pressure builds in with great weather to start next weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fair weather should last through the end of the weekend on August 14. After that a slow increase in humidity and eventually a shower chance by the middle of next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weak zonal flow pattern. Some alternating between summer warmth and humidity and a little drier\/cooler air from Canada possible, but rainfall is expected to average below normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
