DAYS 1-5 (JULY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A gradual easing of the ongoing pattern takes place now, with less frequent rain, humidity down a few notches, and a bit more dry air sneaking in from Canada (especially over the weekend). It will still be humid, with dew points generally above 60, but absent will be the 70+ dew points except possibly a few locations on Friday. Also, Friday is going to be be the only significantly unsettled day out of the next 5. Today carries only a minor chance of an isolated shower mainly to the south of Boston as a weak frontal boundary drifts away from the coast to offshore. We have areas of fog as well as continued Canadian wildfire smoke over the region today, but both will make an exit, the fog first, the smoke later. The next trough of low pressure approaches late Thursday with clouds moving back in, leading to our showery Friday. While parameters will be missing for severe storms, weak steering and plentiful moisture sets the table for slow-moving showers and embedded thunderstorms, some with heavy rain, over a region that’s recently been frequently saturated. Therefore, the flooding issue can trigger easily, so keep that in mind if you live in a flood-prone area or will be traveling. Improvement comes this weekend. The trough lingers just long enough to allow for isolated showers to pop up on Saturday, but this will be much more the exception than the rule, and then a push of lower dew point air from Canada will make Sunday the nicest day in quite a while by opinion or many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
