DAYS 1-5 (JULY 12-16)
\nA warm and muggy airmass is in place and a frontal boundary sits just north of the region, but a sea breeze front and old boundary from a previous set of storms are sitting in the region, the strongest just to the south and southwest of Boston where the majority of the shower and thunderstorm activity has been today. Other cells have popped up elsewhere but most of those have been isolated and short-lived. This unstable air will remain around through tonight into tomorrow and a disturbance will also pass by tomorrow from northwest to southeast, dragging the surface front southward. The timing of this front and subsequent arrival of cooler and more stable air from the north will determine where the highest threat of thunderstorms is. Still leaning toward far southern MA, parts of RI, and mainly CT for that, during the day on Thursday. Also still to be determined is the amount of wet weather Friday, again dependent on how far south the front pushes. What’s for sure is it will be much cooler. The weekend will see a recovery and return to more summertime conditions.
