DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 13-17)
\nA cold front sinks southward across the region today and sets up shop to the south by midweek. Our unsettled day will be today as an increasing chance of showers\/thunderstorms results. There are likely to be 2 main bands that see them, one with the front itself dropping down from northern New England, with a broken band of activity from southern NH into northern MA this afternoon and\/or early evening, and waves of activity closer to the South Coast. The main threat today will be road flooding and poor visibility in downpours, which may occur over the same areas for a while due to the set-up \/ movement of activity. Primary time for impact will be mid afternoon to early evening. Although severe weather (in terms of fitting severe thunderstorm criteria) is not expected, there is a slight risk of one or two strong storms. Enough southward push of high pressure should occur for mainly dry weather and below average temperatures during Wednesday and Thursday, although we will have to watch another wave of low pressure passing to the south during Thursday. High pressure will be centered north and east of New England late this week and that may set-up a boundary between onshore flow from coastal areas and light southerly air flow further away. This can sometime trigger pop up showers, and this may occur either or both days, but not enough to cancel plans over.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 18-22)

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 23-27)
\nA warm to hot late summer pattern with moderate to high humidity, and a few opportunities for thunderstorms, as high pressure ridging and a northward-displaced jet stream is the pattern for New England late this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
