DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve made it through the worst of June. And despite the dramatic flare of the majority of the population to make it seem like we’ve been in the “worst pattern ever” since the beginning of time, it was hardly that. It was an unsettled and cool 2-week pattern with a few very nice days sprinkled in there. You survived it. Next time, people should try doing so without whining – it’s less stressful. Ok, snark aside, we are going to see improvement going forward, but it’s slow at first. Today is the day the low pressure system that got around to soaking Saturday for most of the region starts to pull away, and dry air starts to work in on its back side. But it’ll be unstable enough that we still have to watch for a few light showers to develop on its western flank at departure. But despite this, some breaks of sun can develop and while it doesn’t turn into a warm day, it’ll be milder than Saturday. As we head into the beginning of the week, the pattern will enter a Rex block (similar to the pattern for the end of May) but it’s going to be transient, i.e. short-lived. This pattern features high pressure sinking from southern Canada into the US Northeast while a low pressure trough is held at bay in the Mid Atlantic, giving them a long stretch of unsettled and cool weather into next week, but preventing it from moving up and continuing a similar pattern for our area. During this pattern, we’ll have weak high pressure moving in, but centered north enough that a light easterly air flow will dominate Monday and Tuesday. Just enough instability will be around that an isolated shower can pop up mainly over the interior higher elevations Monday afternoon, and with the help of a weak disturbance passing through at upper levels on Tuesday, a few afternoon showers can occur anywhere in the region. By Wednesday, high pressure will be right overhead, and a sunnier day will help usher in summer 2023 with the solstice occurring at 10:57 a.m.. Coastal areas will end up a little cooler with an afternoon sea breeze as a result of a weak wind field under the high pressure area, but expect a very pleasant day. On Thursday, the summer switch will be flicked on, just in time for the first full day of the new season, with lots of sun and a warmer west wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Lots of clouds, but breaks of sun becoming more likely with time. Chance of quick passing showers. Highs 66-73. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Clouds dominant but breaks large enough to see some stars too. Lows 52-59. Wind NE under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Partial sun. A couple pop up showers southwestern NH and central MA in the afternoon, favoring the higher terrain locations. Highs 67-74, coolest at the coast. Wind E up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 58-65. Wind E to variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers. Highs 68-75, coolest coast. Wind E up to 10 MPH becoming variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes developing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 55-62. Wind variable to W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 80-87 except cooler Cape Cod. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dry with warm sunshine for June 23 with high pressure over and south of the region and a westerly air flow. The June 24-25 weekend turns more humid with fair weather to start and potential shower\/storms to end it. Unsettled weather with a frontal boundary in the vicinity later in the period, along with a cooling trend. This is not a return to the blocking \/ unsettled pattern we had, but part of a transition from the temporary Rex blog to a zonal flow pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 28 \u2013 JULY 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A zonal flow pattern is expected with seasonable temperatures averaging from typical variability. A weak mean trough will oscillate from the upper Midwest and Great Lakes to the interior Northeast and this does provide a couple shower\/thunderstorm opportunities with passing disturbances, but the overall pattern looks dry, not wet, heading toward early July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
