DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 18-22)
\nMuggy and buggy. Lots of humidity, and bugs, doing their late season thing. So last night a line of thunderstorms coming out of NY held together much longer than I expected and made it into northeastern MA and even the Boston area as it was finally falling apart. I consider this a big forecast miss, but one I’ll learn from, I assure you. Moving forward, today will be similar to yesterday in that there will be some pop up showers\/storms possible, and this evening we may again be tracking a more organized line approaching from the west (will monitor), but it will also be warmer and more humid than yesterday. This is going to lead us to a short stretch of hot weather the first part of the coming week, hottest Monday, then down a slight bit for Tuesday and Wednesday, while humidity stays up, and thunderstorm chances, while lower, will still be there Monday-Tuesday, before going up Wednesday and part of Thursday as a cold front approaches and enters the region. This front looks slow to me, and it may take until the end of Thursday to clear the region.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 23-27)
\nHigh pressure builds in with a pleasant, dry air mass for August 23-24, followed by a warm-up and increase in humidity August 25-27 as the high slips to the south and east. The only precipitation threat I see this far out as an isolated shower\/thunderstorm threat by August 27.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 28-SEPTEMBER 1)
\nOh no September 1 appears on my blog! Winter’s coming! Kidding aside, we’ll be in a warm late summer pattern with high pressure off the Eastern Seaboard and plenty of warmth, late summer humidity, and an increasing risk for showers\/thunderstorms at times as a boundary to the north and west gets a little closer. I don’t think we’ll be going into a stretch of wet weather then, just increasing the chance of activity compared to the previous 5-day period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
