Today&#8217;s not one of them. While the DJ may have 2 turntables and a microphone, the weather map has two troughs and a cold front to come through today. Trough #1 produces a cluster of showers and possible thunderstorms this morning, while trough #2 produces a somewhat more organized batch of showers\/storms later today, with strong to isolated severe storms embedded in a cluster or line, favoring areas north and west of the I-95 belt. This area will likely weaken as it progress into and through the I-95 belt, but some downpours and a few stronger storms can remain. Between the two troughs a few isolated showers can occur but also we can see some breaks of sun. A cold front follows these troughs, passing by overnight with perhaps a few more showers, the last of which may linger on Cape Cod into the post-dawn for a short time on Saturday morning. Fortune is on our side for the weekend, with both days being quite nice. Saturday&#8217;s humidity will be going down, and Sunday&#8217;s will be comfortable. Saturday&#8217;s the day with more fair weather clouds, and Sunday will see less. But the first weekend of August will be ideal for all summer outdoor plans! Monday will be a day that starts with sun and ends with clouds as high pressure moves offshore and a warm front approaches from the southwest. Tuesday will be the other unsettled day of this stretch, similar to today, as another trough and frontal system brings a shower and thunderstorms threat, along with higher humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers and possible thunderstorms most likely in the morning and again late afternoon \/ evening. Higher rain chance and stronger storm chance west of the I-95 belt. Highs 74-81. Dew point 65+. Wind S 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with showers and possible thunderstorms evening, diminishing from west to east overnight. Areas of fog. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Lots of clouds early to mid morning with a Cape Cod shower chance, otherwise a sun\/cloud mix. Highs 76-83. Dew point 60+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 58-65. Dew point falling below 55. Wind W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83. Dew point in the 50s. Wind NW to variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breeze possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Fog patches in lower elevations. Lows 56-63. Dew point 50s. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 75-82. Dew point near 60. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60+. Wind S 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 75-82. Dew point 65+. Wind S 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High pressure will be in control with fair weather, warmer weather, and higher humidity (but not likely oppressive) from the middle of next week on. Only interruption may be a quick shower or t-storm threat August 11 with a disturbance moving through the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A zonal flow pattern with a tendency for a weak low pressure trough being in control. This brings limited shower chances and keeps sustained heat from occurring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 4-8) Now we&#8217;re in a pattern where unsettled days are outnumbered by fair weather ones, and 3 out of 5 fair weather days are in this 5-day forecast.
