DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 19-23)
\nA stretch of warmer weather gets underway this weekend but a bit slowly today as a weak cold front moves offshore and a slow dry-out process takes place. High pressure will be dominant Sunday-Tuesday with a gradual increase in heat, most noticeable Tuesday. Eclipse weather for Monday looks perfect with sunshine and just a few passing clouds possible. The solar eclipse begins at 1:28PM, peaks at 2:46PM, and ends at 3:59PM. At peak, 60-65% of the sun will be covered depending on your exact location in southern New England. When we get to Wednesday, a cold front is due with a shower\/thunderstorm risk, but timing is not easily determined this far in advance.
\nTODAY: Any remaining low clouds diminish with more sunshine. Isolated pop up shower or thunderstorm possible southeastern NH, eastern MA, eastern CT, and RI this afternoon. Humid. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 80-85 elsewhere. Wind light SW shifting to W.
\nTONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Less humid. Lows 60-67. Wind light W.
\nSUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-86, coolest Cape Cod. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
\nMONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.
\nTUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the middle 80s to lower 90s.
\nWEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers\/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 24-28)
\nDry weather August 24-26 with a brief cool down then a slight warm-up as I believe a cooler trough is being over-forecast by the models. More humid and wetter weather is possible by later in the period and we will have to continue to watch for a possible tropical system being involved or possibly not too far away.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 2)
\nAs with the end of the 6-10 day period we will need to keep an eye on the tropics since it’s impossible this far in advance to know if any storms will be about and what the exact track and timing would be. I throw this caution out due to the pattern being one that could support an East Coast threat. Outside of this expect largely fair and warm weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
