DAYS 1-5…
\nLet’s keep it simple. Today’s severe weather threat comes down to timing and amount of sunshine. Ingredients will be in place. Lots of clouds along the leading edge of warm and more humid air will limit sun for a time mid morning into midday especially the further north you are. A shower may even survive into southern NH and northern MA briefly. This area will be eroding, however, and the amount of sunshine between this and the approaching cold front will dictate how unstable that atmosphere becomes and be the key factor in the development of thunderstorms and how far east they are able to survive, and the potential they have to become severe. Also, wind direction will be another key. A more southerly wind will limit storms the further south and east you are in southern New England. A more southwesterly to westerly wind will allow storms to survive longer. Storm threat window of time is 2PM to 8PM west to east. Will narrow this down in comments below as the day goes on. Looking ahead, great weather Wednesday. Clouds return later Thursday. End of week looks cooler and somewhat unsettled, but not sure of timing and how far north rain gets from low pressure to the south of the region.
\nTODAY: Variably cloudy. A shower possible northern MA or southern NH this morning. Showers\/thunderstorms likely mid afternoon through early evening. Potential for strong to severe thunderstorms in some areas including damaging winds and possible large hail. Brief torrential rain and frequent lightning possible. Highs 70s South Coast, 80s elsewhere. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
\nTONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 55-62. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
\nWEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
\nTHURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
\nFRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain especially south. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
\nSATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs around 70.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 28-JULY 2)…
\nTrough over the region means periods of unsettled weather and below normal temperatures. Most likely wet days later Sunday June 28 into Monday June 29, with a couple more shower threats following this in the June 30 to July 2 period.<\/p>\n
