DAYS 1-5 (JULY 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’re now well aware that the smoke plume from Canada \/ Minnesota wildfires was squeezed and thickened by the jet stream, presenting much more impactfully in our region yesterday than predicted – enough to hold forecast high temperature down by several degrees, with virtual no 90+ readings in the WHW forecast area. The same will be true today and even part of Thursday, though no widespread 90+ readings were expected Thursday anyway. We’ll also see a reduction in humidity as a series of cold fronts drop through the region behind low pressure in eastern Canada, and breezy weather here between that low and high pressure to our south. We do run the chance of a quick-hitting shower or thunderstorm with the final front in the series in southern NH and eastern MA later Thursday, but that’s about it other than any early morning showers (remnants of thunderstorms) that pass through southern NH and eastern MA basically as I write this blog update. I don’t even think we’ll see much of anything trigger south of I-90 today as I had previously been expecting – maybe an isolated shower toward the South Coast should be about it. Friday’s set to be a less smoky, pleasant day with a nice northerly air flow and low humidity. Our weekend is still a little questionable. I’d been leaning toward more trough in eastern Canada deflecting an incoming disturbance to our southwest, but guidance is fighting me on this with its trend for a more northeastward track for the low. Ultimately, my estimation of eastern Canadian troughing was probably overcooked, but maybe so much so that the low coming our way will pass so far to the north, all we end up having to deal with are a couple of shower and t-storm threats from a warm frontal passage Saturday and a cold frontal passage Sunday. Obviously, timing and details are still in the process of being worked out, so generic wording today will hopefully be followed by more distinctive wording on the next update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
