DAYS 1-5 (JULY 22-26)…
\nHeat and humidity will be the story today with an increasing risk of showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms may end up severe, but the question becomes: who is most likely to see such storms? At this point, the answer is: anybody. But the key is coverage. I don’t think overall coverage will end up being too widespread, so for all the threat that exists, there are likely to be many areas with minimal or no impact from storms. Timing of potential storms will be anywhere in the window from about 2PM to about 10PM, favoring western areas of MA to start, central and east central MA by evening, and southeastern MA, CT, and RI evening into early at night. Any storms may contain damaging wind gusts, hail, torrential downpours, and frequent lightning. Activity settles down and departs overnight. Saturday will be another hot and rather humid day, but the edge may come off the humidity as one trough line will have moved through. A second one of these will approach later in the day and a few isolated thunderstorms may result. After the passage of this trough, we’ll be set up for a very warm to hot and less humid Sunday. Humidity returns Monday, along with heat, as another disturbance approaches from the west, bringing the next risk of showers and thunderstorms late Monday possibly into Tuesday.
\nTODAY: Intervals of clouds and sun. A few isolated showers are possible early. Isolated thunderstorms possible by mid to late afternoon favoring areas north and west of Boston. Humid. Highs 80-88 South Coast, 89-97 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
\nTONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms may end up favoring areas west and south of Boston. Any storms may be strong to locally severe. Humid. Lows 67-74, warmest urban areas. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.
\nSATURDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Slight risk of isolated thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 80-87 Cape Cod and Islands, 88-95 elsewhere. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
\nSATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Humid. Lows 67-77, warmest urban areas. Wind light NW.
\nSUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Less humid. Highs 78-85 Cape Cod and Islands, 86-92 elsewhere.
\nMONDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of afternoon and evening showers\/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows 65-75, warmest urban areas. Highs 84-91 South Coast, 92-98 elsewhere.
\nTUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible. Humid. Lows 65-75, warmest urban areas. Highs 80-86 South Coast, 87-93 elsewhere.<\/p>\n
