DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pattern change of sorts is underway – more like a pattern readjustment, because there will be some things that are similar to recent weather and some differences as well. Let’s try to sort that out for these 5 days. Upper level low pressure still has control over the weather early this week. It’s a weaker version of what we had during the weekend, but it’s still enough to result in unsettled weather at times in terms of scattered shower activity later today, tonight, and again Tuesday. While this is happening, a high pressure ridge to the north, completing a Rex block set-up (high over low) will start to push southward and accomplish the task of drying us out for midweek, along with a warming trend. We welcome summer with the solstice, which occurs Wednesday at 10:57 a.m., and we’ll have more of the feel of that season Wednesday and especially Thursday when more of a westerly wind will occur after coastal sea breezes Wednesday. By Friday, a deeper southwesterly air flow will overtake the region as high pressure sits to the south and southeast, and it will be a warm day, but also a more humid one. Medium range guidance is split on whether or not any pop up showers \/ thunderstorms can occur Friday, but at day 5 I think a call for isolated ones is reasonable with increased moisture and solar heating combined that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Cloud\/sun mix and some high altitude smoke in the sky as well. Isolated showers possible mid to late afternoon. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Wind variable to E up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Lows 53-60. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers. Highs 66-73, coolest coast. Wind E up to 10 MPH<\/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 70-77, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 54-61. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 78-85 except cooler Cape Cod and some other coastal points. Wind W up to 10 MPH but still some weak coastal sea breezes can develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated afternoon showers\/thunderstorms possible. Highs 83-90, cooler South Coast. Dew point rising over 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The June 24-25 weekend looks humid and somewhat more unsettled. A southwesterly to southerly air flow around offshore high pressure will carry more moisture, but activity should be isolated to scattered and favor inland areas Saturday and become scattered to numerous Sunday as a frontal boundary approaches from the northwest, focusing the moisture. This leads to what looks like an unsettled first half of next week with upper level low pressure in the Great Lakes \/ Ohio Valley, high pressure offshore, and a frontal boundary in the region, resulting in occasional showers and thunderstorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 29 \u2013 JULY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn’t high confidence, but expecting the unsettled pattern of early next week to break down into a weak zonal flow pattern heading to the end of June and start of July, but still with a tendency for a low pressure trough to be located in the interior Northeast \/ Great Lakes \/ Ohio Valley areas, which can still provide the opportunity for showers and thunderstorms at times, but also keeps us from getting into significant heat as well. Later in the period, however, we can be vulnerable to a push of much drier air from Canada, which can result from a stronger ridge in the Upper Midwest inducing a northwesterly air flow from eastern Canada to New England.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
