A west to northwest wind helped lower the dew point yesterday from around 70 to the middle 60s, in general, and while this is still humid, it sits below the oppressive category, and will generally hang out in the 60s through today. There are still patches of Canadian wildfire smoke working their way through in a northwesterly air flow aloft, so the sky will have a hazy look. While a cold front approaches, the instability and triggering mechanisms are limited, and it appears that the greatest chance for a few storms to fire up will be south of I-90, particularly southern CT, southern RI, and the MA South Coast west of the Cape Cod Canal, in the 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. time frame. Any storms that do develop here can produce brief torrential rain, small hail, and strong wind gusts, as well as cloud-to-ground lightning. If you have outdoor plans, be on the look-out should a storm develop near or approach your area. The storm threat ends by sunset and tonight will be a quiet, mild, humid night as the front settles through. The boundary then comes to a stop near the South Coast on Thursday, and sets up a situation where a wave of low pressure will keep our weather unsettled Thursday into Friday, first with some showers initiating somewhere in our region, then growing in coverage to a fairly widespread rainfall by Thursday evening into Friday early morning, before diminishing and pulling out of the region from northwest to southeast during the day on Friday. Significantly cooler air will arrive during this time, although it will remain relatively humid until the rain exits later Friday, after which drier air arrives. Clearing Friday night will then lead to a fabulous weekend as high pressure builds in, with seasonable temperatures and low humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Sunshine dominates. Clouds pop up this afternoon especially south of I-90 with isolated to scattered thunderstorms possible. Highs 88-95, except 80-87 many coastal locations. Dew point middle to upper 60s.

Isolated to scattered showers develop morning-midday, becoming more numerous to eventually widespread afternoon-evening. Embedded downpours possible with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs 73-80. Dew point 60s. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Widespread showers. Areas of fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point 60+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Cloudy with showers gradually diminishing northwest to southeast, followed by breaking clouds \/ partial clearing with similar trend. Areas of fog early. Highs 68-75. Dew point 60+. Wind E backing to N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Patchy fog. Lows 56-63. Dew point falls into 50s. Wind N to NW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83. Dew point sub-60. N up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Fog patches interior lower elevations. Lows 55-62. Dew point sub-60. Wind calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 77-84. Dew point sub-60.
