DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 28 \u2013 JULY 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We received a bit of a break in the region in general yesterday after the pre-dawn rainfall gave way to a largely rain-free day in most areas, save for a few isolated quick-hitting showers. But that has moved along and the upper level low controlling the weather is still to our west, and we’re still in a moist southerly flow ahead of it. We have another batch of showers and embedded thunder moving across mainly eastern MA as I write this, having come up from the South Coast region just a short while ago, and even as this exits, we can still see occasional showers and thunderstorms at any time today – probably the most unsettled overall day of this particular stretch. Activity will diminish during tonight, but can re-fire in isolated to scattered form Thursday as the upper low moves right across the region. I think Thursday’s activity will have less coverage than today’s but any that do occur can still produce heavy rain and even some small hail as well. Friday, the now-weakening upper low will exit to our east with only a very limited chance of a pop up shower or storm in its limited lingering influence. Heading into the weekend, July starts with a fair and summery day Saturday, but the next trough \/ upper low will already be approaching the region from the west and this will toss an unsettled interruption into a portion of the weekend. Currently, I expect this to be the first half of Sunday when there is the opportunity for showers and thunderstorm, but this system may move along quickly enough to salvage the second half of Sunday. But at day 5, this is not a high-confidence forecast at this point. Check updates…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While upper level low pressure is nearby, it looks weaker and displaced to the south and west, limiting the shower and thunderstorm chance which will favor interior and southern areas early in the weekend including Independence Day. A more zonal (west to east) flow takes over midweek on with seasonable warmth and a possible shower and thunderstorm a couple times with otherwise mainly fair weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zonal pattern with weak westerly flow but a tendency for surface high pressure to be located in eastern Canada. This increases the onshore wind chance and is a factor in keeping major heat at bay. A couple passing disturbances can bring shower and thunderstorm chances, but this pattern still does not look as active as the one we’re in now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
