There&#8217;s still plenty of nice weather to be had even during this time where clouds will be dominant and shower \/ t-storm chances are to be monitored. A healthy batch of showers, some heavy, went through MA this morning, moving offshore as we enter mid morning. The remainder of the day will feature a lot of clouds, partial sun, and still the chance of a few showers and possibly a thunderstorm, but the vast majority of the remaining hours will be rain-free in any given location. It will be warm (not hot) and on the humid side. We will get a shot of more oppressive humidity on Saturday before a cold front slides through and knocks it back down somewhat on Sunday. Similar to yesterday&#8217;s outlook, we will have to watch for a couple to a few batches of showers and thunderstorms in the region during the span of Saturday&#8217;s calendar day, which should then largely move offshore by Sunday, though some may linger early in eastern and southern areas. Clouds may also hang tough for a while Sunday before we finally get into more sunshine as the day passes. Early next week, high pressure brings fair,  warm conditions Monday. By Tuesday, high pressure offshore and high pressure in the Midwest puts a trough sandwiched between them, and the southwesterly air flow will transport moisture into our region, increasing the shower and thunderstorm chance once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Mostly cloudy &#8211; breaks of sun. Early showers eastern coastal areas exit, then pop-up showers and a chance of a thunderstorm. Highs 78-85, coolest coast. Dew point upper 60s to lower 70s. Wind S to SE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Increasing chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm overnight. Patchy fog. Lows 63-70. Dew point 60s. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: More clouds than sun. Showers and thunderstorms possible at any time, but greatest chance early morning and mid afternoon. Highs 78-85, coolest South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A passing shower or thunderstorm possible. Patchy fog. Lows 63-70. Dew point lowers into 60s. Wind SW up to 10 MPH shifting to W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Clouds dominate the morning along with potential lingering showers eastern and\/or southern areas. Sun dominates the afternoon. Highs 83-90 except a little cooler in some coastal areas. Dew point 60+. Wind W up to 10 MPH but some coastal sea breezes possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Fog patches in lower elevations. Lows 61-68. Dew point near 60. Wind W under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 84-91 except a little cooler in coastal areas. Dew point near 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 62-69. Dew point near 60. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible. Highs 83-90, cooler some coastal areas. Dew point 60+. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (JULY 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The large scale weather pattern features high pressure off the US East Coast, a low pressure trough Great Lakes and Midwest, which creates a humid southwesterly air flow here, with warm weather and several opportunities for showers and thunderstorms. Early call on when shower chances are highest: First half of July 10, much of July 11, and end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (JULY 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No major changes from the previous outlook. Indications of a generally westerly flow aloft with a mean trough position in the Great Lakes and Midwest and weaker high pressure off the East Coast. This is a typical summertime pattern for here, warm, a hot day or two, on the humid side, a few shower\/thunderstorm chances from time to time but fair weather more often than unsettled weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS 1-5 (JULY 5-9) We move into a little bit of an unsettled stretch now for the balance of the holiday weekend, but when people see &#8220;unsettled&#8221; and &#8220;weekend&#8221; in the same phrase, they get nervous.
