Here is my best guess at the weather pattern and resultant day-by-day weather through the first week of July, including the Independence Day holiday (and 2 weekends either side of it).<\/p>\n
The battle between a high pressure ridge over the western Atlantic Ocean and low pressure trough centered near the Great Lakes will continue this final weekend of June and the first 2 days of July, with a retrograding ridge eventually being the victor. The result will be mild to warm air, high humidity, and episodes of scattered showers and thunderstorms through Monday, with less shower activity but still a shower and storm threat lingering Tuesday. Many areas will see lengthy stretches with no rain, but any tropical showers and storms may produce drenching downpours. At this point, I expect the day with the most numerous shower activity in southeastern New England to be Monday.<\/p>\n
High pressure will continue to drift westward over the western\u00a0 Atlantic and US East Coast through much of next week, only weakening a little as disturbances try to ride over the top of it from the west by the first weekend of July. The overall pattern for this area will become hotter and continued humid. Shower and thunderstorm activity will be isolated, increasing to scattered in some areas with passing disturbances later in the period.<\/p>\n
