The outline from a few days ago is basically the same. Retrogression of high pressure from the western Atlantic will continue and eventually merge with high pressure from over the southern USA to form a large flat ridge of\u00a0 high pressure, creating a hot weather pattern that will last well into next week. A little house-cleaning details are being taken care of today before this really gets underway. The back-door cold front that cooled off and in some cases fogged up parts of southern NH and eastern MA is heading back northeastward as a warm front and that cooler maritime air will be a distant memory in a short time. The thunderstorm threat is also diminishing, though we cannot rule out pop up storms from time to time in this pattern. For the next few days, the most likely place to see them would be across interior MA and southern NH in the late afternoon to early evening. Plan on mainly rain-free, very warm to hot, humid conditions. The most cloud cover will probably exist today, as the high pressure ridge continues to push the tropical moisture belt that had been over the region back to the west.<\/p>\n
