The marine layer’s time is running out here in eastern MA and nearby areas. During the next 24 hours, a southwesterly flow will overtake the area, marking the beginning of a several-day bout of summer weather, if you include tomorrow, the transition day. A few areas have a shot at an official heat wave (3 or more days of 90+ high temps) Wednesday through Friday, if they manage to eek out a 90 on\u00a0 Friday.\u00a0 The timing of a cold front that will end the heat blast is still in question: Early Friday? Later Friday? Trying to pin that down but for now am going to go with the earlier timing still….<\/p>\n
The weekend? Far away still, but early indications are for cooler (but not too chilly) behind the cold front, and mainly dry. We may have to deal with a disturbance causing some showers\u00a0 by the end of the weekend, but this may just as easily hold off til the start of next week.<\/p>\n
