We’re paying in advance for a fantastic summer weekend. Not that today’s been all that bad so far, just cloudy. But the muggies are back for the day and tonight, along with a threat of showers and thunderstorms. The good news is that the lack of sunshine and a south wind (more stabilizing than a southwest wind in eastern MA) will limit the chances for severe storms. There will still be some storms around, and they may produce heavy rain, gusty winds, and even frequent lightning (though that would be isolated and likely brief), in some locations tonight. But all of this activity should be offshore by morning and the weekend looks great, as high pressure dominates. Saturday will be the hotter of the 2 days, though Sunday will still be quite warm but with some coastal sea breezes keeping the beaches very nice. A great way to end the month of July!<\/p>\n
Typical mid summer weather is on tap for the first few days of August. More about August soon.<\/p>\n
