DAYS 1-5 (JULY 7-11)…
\nStill turning the tuning knobs on this forecast but not a whole lot of change from the last post, with the issue regarding temperatures being the location of a boundary separating the hotter air mass that was over us Wednesday and a cooler marine layer of air that has pushed into southeastern NH and northeastern to east central MA during the early morning hours. I expected this boundary to waver around but slowly sink south to southwest overall through Friday, then try to make a run northeastward again Friday night and Saturday. I’m still leaning toward the idea of the boundary of warm air falling short of making it back across the entire region on Saturday, leaving areas north and east cooler. As for shower\/thunderstorm chances, they exist today favoring areas near and to the warm side of the boundary, which will be east central MA and southwestern NH southward. Activity should be pushed further south tonight into Friday before making a northeastward return Friday night into Saturday. Another area of showers\/storms should sweep eastward later Saturday along a cold front as the strongest low pressure area tracks north of New England. But an upper level trough still traversing the region Sunday with cooler air aloft may still trigger a few instability showers and thunderstorms. Finally by Monday, low pressure moving away and high pressure moving in should provide a dry, mild, and breezy day. I have not mentioned severe weather up to this point, regarding the thunderstorm chances, mainly because I think any severe storms would be of the isolated variety, rather than a larger scale organized outbreak as may have occurred had the warmer\/muggy air stayed in more of the region for a longer time, but with contrast and instability around, I cannot rule out a few strong to severe storms.
\nTODAY: Clouds dominate but areas of sunshine especially interior east central to south central MA into adjacent RI\/CT for a while. Sunniest area stand the greatest chance of showers\/thunderstorms developing early to mid afternoon which will think sink southward. Storms may produce gusty winds, torrential rain, and hail. Elsewhere, lower risk but still isolated to scattered showers\/thunderstorms possible. Highs range from the upper 60s seacoast of NH and eastern MA to the upper 80s in areas that are still sunny as of 8AM with a fairly sharp contrast between. Wind mostly E up to 10 MPH, but variable over some interior areas, except briefly strong\/gusty near any storms.
\nTONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A few showers\/thunderstorms possible. Areas of fog especially South Coast and Cape Cod. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Wind light E to NE.
\nFRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers possible. Highs upper 60s eastern coastal areas, 70s elsewhere. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
\nSATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Episodes of showers\/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
\nSUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers\/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
\nMONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 12-16)…
\nDry weather July 12-14 with a slow build of heat\/humidity. Shower\/thunderstorm risk increases as it continues humid later in the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 17-21)…
\nDry and a little cooler early in the period then heating up again with isolated showers\/thunderstorms later in the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
