A large area of high pressure will continue to drift westward over the eastern USA. Here in southern New England we will be on the northeastern side of this ridge, and though it’s a generally hot pattern for most of the region, it does allow for some natural air conditioning via a sea breeze, and this will be possible through midweek, possibly even enhanced a little by a weak back-door cold front coming into some areas today. By later in the week, a more prominent west to southwest wind will limit the ocean cooling to the South Coast and Cape Cod, and while this is ongoing, a trough of low pressure and associated cold front trying to press southeastward out of Canada will provide\u00a0 energy and focus for a better chance of thunderstorms starting late Thursday but especially Friday and Saturday. The timing of the front is uncertain this far out, so it is difficult to pin-point the coverage and timing of storms. There is some potential for strong to severe storms, regardless. Wording will be vague for now and will be fine-tuned as the potential event draws closer. By late in the weekend, provided the front does not get hung up, we should be treated to somewhat cooler and less humid air.<\/p>\n
