DAYS 1-5 (JULY 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The slower shifting weather that I talked about the other day really shows itself today. In the last few days, while we did expect the hotter, humid Tuesday with a PM t-storm threat, the expectation was to clear out at night and have a sunny, warm, dry Wednesday. But the cold front had other ideas, and decided it’s going to slog slowly across our region, taking basically an extra 24 hours to finish its journey, finally sauntering off the South Coast by this evening. What does this mean for today’s weather? It means that dew points remain high in southern areas much of the day, but gradually lower from northwest to southeast. It means lots of clouds linger, with very little sunshine south of I-90, but partial sun to the north. Scattered showers are also expected south of I-90, favoring the South Coast, and can linger around Cape Cod and the Islands into early tonight before finally coming to an end. So what was expected to be a bright pleasant day ends up as a slow transition day. The forecast for Thursday has not changed. Expect a warm day with a little re-spike in humidity ahead of a cold front associated with a low pressure area that will pass by to our north. This will trigger showers and thunderstorms to our north and west by midday Thursday, and these will make a run at our region during the afternoon, but may struggle to hold together with limited coverage and a downward trend in intensity. This system leads in a refreshing Canadian air mass that’s going to result in Friday, Independence Day, being a “Top 10” kind of day with abundant sun, a few fair weather clouds, a refreshing breeze, seasonable warmth but very low humidity. Regionwide it will be a dry evening for fireworks displays etc. And fair weather is set to continue through the weekend with an up-trend in temperature and humidity from Saturday through Sunday as high pressure builds into the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A frontal boundary approaches from the north July 7 with timing uncertain. While it may remain rain-free across most of the region, expect an increase in clouds and the potential for some showers and thunderstorms to the north by later in the day along with a continuation of hot, humid weather. Expectations are for that frontal boundary to make it down into the region, become stationary, and gradually dissipate through the middle of next week with a daily chance of showers \/ thunderstorms July 8-10 before high pressure builds in at the end of the period with fair weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s still a lot of uncertainty regarding the details of the mid July weather pattern. Guidance has shifted from a dry stretch to daily episodes of showers and thunderstorms and back again. Recent guidance indicates a fairly typical summer look to the upper pattern: Jet stream to the north in Canada, south of that a weak ridge of high pressure near and off the US East Coast, a trough of low pressure Great Lakes \/ Midwest, and a ridge of high pressure out West. For us this pattern is “mostly dry” but with a couple episodes of showers and thunderstorms, warm to borderline hot at times but no “extreme heat”. There are a few hints late-period of a stronger look to the jet to the north and we’ll have to watch this because it could signal some changes at and beyond mid month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
