The changes today will include an increasing dew point, increased cloud patches ahead of the warm front, and a hazy\/smoky sky from high-altitude smoke out of western Canada, but overall it will still be a nice early August day with no rain threat. Tonight, the warm front moves through, perhaps with a few showers overnight, and a spike in humidity to last through Friday while we reside in the warm sector of low pressure. That low will drag a surface through through the region with one round of showers and maybe a thunderstorm during Friday morning, a break with just isolated activity following, then another round of scattered to numerous showers and possible thunderstorms as a cold front crosses the region later in the day through the evening Friday. Timing of the front allows the showers to come to an end by later evening and during the overnight hours from west to east, lastly on Cape Cod toward Saturday&#8217;s dawn. Other than some lingering cloudiness to start Saturday in eastern areas, the coming weekend looks pretty nice with lots of sun (some diurnal clouds Saturday, and fewer of those on Sunday) with dry weather and low humidity, and not too hot but not too cool either. Monday&#8217;s weather will feature increasing clouds as the next trough approaches the region and a surface warm front works toward the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Smoke-filtered sun and patchy clouds. Highs 75-82. Dew point rising to around 60. Wind S increasing to 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Passing showers possible late evening and overnight. Patchy fog overnight. Lows 64-71. Dew point 60+. Wind S 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers and possible thunderstorms most likely in the morning and again late afternoon \/ evening. Highs 74-81.
