We are in the pattern expected for at least the first half of Summer. Heatwaves will be hard to come by, but the pattern has adjusted itself just enough to allow a little more heat once in a while, as may be expected as we head toward July. But the dominant pattern still allows a boundary to often reside nearby and disturbances moving along it to produce some unsettled weather and temperature shifts.<\/p>\n
There will be times when the mean ridge position over the central US is a little more expansive and pushes the dominate upper wind to more westerly, allowing more warm\/hot days than cooler ones, and such a shift is about to take place. Other times we’ll see more of a northwesterly flow over the Northeast US with more variable temperatures resulting.<\/p>\n
The warmer regime will get underway after 1 day of cooler northerly flow on Friday, put in place on Thursday as low pressure developed on a passing cold front and dragged cooler air down from eastern Canada and the Maritimes. It was fairly humid overnight and into the morning and it’s been slow to dry, but it is doing so now. Also some pop up showers and downpours occurred mainly over inland areas from south central NH into north central MA but these will fade quickly as a clearing trend comes down from the north tonight.<\/p>\n
Lots of sun should dominate Friday through Sunday, with warming conditions this weekend as the wind turns more westerly.<\/p>\n
Next week looks fairly Summery, typical for the end of June and start of July.<\/p>\n
