DAYS 1-5 (JULY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure brings lower humidity but still very warm to hot weather today, but despite it being quite warm, you’ll notice the difference between the clammy \/ muggy feel yesterday and the less heavy air in place today. High pressure slips offshore and resumes the job of heat and humidity pump Monday through Wednesday, with many areas seeing 3-days of 90+ for high temps (some areas that hit 90 today can have a 4-day heatwave). Dew points will also become oppressive again with 70+ for most of the region and just a chance we can experience some local or regional down sloping a couple of the days to reduce dew points below 70 in some areas. Our thunderstorm chances will be variable, with Monday’s opportunity seeming to be confined to late-day and mostly west of I-95 as a weak disturbance approaches, but needing solar heating to trigger storms. Any that do form can be strong to severe, but I’m not expecting significant coverage of such activity. Watch for any bigger storms to try to survive closer to the coast but probably lose the battle to the loss of solar heating in the evening. Tuesday’s threat looks like air mass \/ orographic pop-up storms favoring southwestern NH and central MA, with isolated coverage. Wednesday’s threat is the most formidable, associated with the approach of a cold front, and brings a better shot at widespread shower and thunderstorm activity, favoring the afternoon and evening hours from west to east. This is forecast day 4 as it stands on today’s update, so I can’t go into any more detail than that at this point. Thursday appears that it will be a transition day, with a slower-moving front. We can still see some showers and thunderstorms around for part of the day, favoring southern and eastern areas and favoring the first half of the day, while we see the arrival of a Canadian air mass from the northwest. The details of this day also need to be fine-tuned as we get closer to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Patchy fog\/stratus interior lower elevations and parts of South Coast until mid morning, otherwise abundant sun. Highs 86-93 except cooler in some coastal areas. Dew points reduce to the middle to lower 60s. Wind W to NW up to 10 MPH, but local coastal sea breezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: A clear sky, but ground fog patches form in interior lower elevations. Lows 62-69, warmest urban areas. Dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind W to SW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Early fog patches dissipate, sun dominates, then clouds appear later in the day. Potential thunderstorms late-day favoring areas west of I-95. Highs 88-95 except 80-87 South Coast. Dew point rises to upper 60s to lower 70s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH but can be stronger and variable around any storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms early. Patchy fog. Lows 67-74, warmest urban areas. Dew point upper 60s to lower 70s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Slight chance of isolated afternoon thunderstorms favoring central MA and southwestern NH. Highs 90-97 except 83-90 South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 68-75, warmest urban areas. Dew point near 70. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Potential afternoon thunderstorms. Highs 88-95, except cooler South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, but can be stronger and variable around any storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely. Areas of fog. Lows 70-77. Dew point 70+. Wind SW to variable up to 10 MPH but can be stronger and variable around any storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms, favoring the morning-midday time-frame and southern\/eastern areas (eastern MA, RI, eastern CT). Highs 80-87. Dew point lowering into\/through 60s. Wind variable to NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
July 19-20 are expected to be fair weather, seasonably warm, low humidity days with Canadian air and high pressure in control. High pressure slides back offshore and we build some heat and humidity back during the July 21-23 period, along with some increase and the shower and thunderstorm chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typical fairly weak westerly flow pattern overall brings some changing temperatures, probably a reduction of humidity before it returns, some heat, but no long heatwave, and a few shower \/ thunderstorm chances. Late July in New England.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
