DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 12-16)
\nHigh pressure drifts to the south of New England today allowing a warm-up and a slight increase in humidity, that will become more pronounced tonight into Tuesday as a cold front heads toward and eventually passes through the region. During this time the shower threat will increase and by Tuesday midday and afternoon some heavy shower activity is possible, favoring areas closer to the South Coast. This front will push a little further south and as a bubble of high pressure tries to build in from the north Wednesday we’ll be drier, but cloudiness may linger in southern areas while clearing is more confined to northern locations. Another wave of low pressure will ride along the front to the south of the region Thursday, bringing additional cloudiness and a shower threat again favoring southern locations. High pressure will begin to build in Friday but a little lingering trough and chilly air aloft will allow some pop up showers to develops.
