The high pressure ridge that pushed most of the storms back to the west of the WHW forecast area of southern NH, eastern MA, and RI, will start to flatten this weekend, still keeping us in the ongoing heatwave, but allowing a slightly greater risk that a few showers and storms could get into the area. The ridge will weaken and retrograde further to the west during the coming week, as a new ridge re-builds in the western Atlantic. This will leave our area in a weak area of troughing that will bring increase shower and thunderstorm activity, less heat (80s instead of 90s), but continued humidity.<\/p>\n
