DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spring to Summer – but already feeling like mid summer today! Solstice occurs at 4:50 p.m. …and it’s gonna be another hot day across the region (a little cooler in direct ocean wind South Coast regions). Use caution if outside. This, of course, is due to a continuation of high pressure parked to our south and an upper level high pressure ridge along the East Coast. Locally, our dew point may come down a bit today if we get enough west wind, but that can make the air temperature a little hotter due to a down slope of the air off the hills \/ mountains to the west. A few records can be matched or fall today. Another thing to monitor for today are thunderstorms which can pop up air-mass style any time after noon or 1 p.m. and then we may see a more organized line sweep part of the region late afternoon or evening. This is in advance of a cold front approaching from the north. That front will pass by our area on Friday, shutting the big heat down. While the humidity will lessen, don’t expect a crispy-dry Canadian air mass. But it will be “better” nonetheless. And this will also last on Saturday with enough influence from an eastern Canadian high pressure area. As for weather, we can still see some scattered shower activity Friday with the front passing by, and Saturday less so, but favoring areas to the south and west, closer to a a slowing frontal boundary. This front will try to amble back to the north Sunday, a more humid day, with additional showers possible over more of the region, including a thunderstorm chance too. Sunday’s not a wash-out, but likely more regionally unsettled than Saturday. One more disturbance comes through from the west Monday with additional showers and thunderstorms likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sun\/cloud mix. Isolated to scattered afternoon thunderstorms develop. A more organized thunderstorm line potentially from southern NH into northern and central MA late day \/ early evening. Highs 78-85 Cape Cod, 86-93 remainder of South Coast, 94-101 elsewhere, hottest just east of the Worcester Hills. DP around 70 may lower somewhat during the day. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH, gusts around or above 20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Shower\/thunderstorm chance early, then isolated showers overnight. Lows 71-78, warmest urban centers. DP upper 60s to near 70. Wind W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Potential for scattered showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorm, favoring the I-90 belt southward. Highs 75-82 coast, 82-89 inland areas, warmest southwest of Boston. DP 60s. Wind shifting to N and NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. Chance of a shower or thunderstorm mainly south of I-90. Lows 65-72. DP falls to upper 50s. Wind NE under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A large high pressure area builds in with fair, drier weather much of this period, starting with seasonable temperatures then a late-period warm up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 30 \u2013 JULY 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A west to northwest flow with a high pressure ridge in the Midwest means a couple shower \/ t-storm chances and variable temperatures mainly near to a little above normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
