DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 21-25)
\nA warm front passes through the region this morning and midday from southwest to northeast, carrying a round of showers\/thunderstorms mainly through central MA into southern NH, causing a spike in humidity, and setting the region up for other rounds of showers and thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to severe, beginning this afternoon and coming in a few waves of potential through Thursday evening, until a cold front has passed by. Will try to now-cast the rounds of activity in the comments when possible. Once we get to early Friday, one last wave of low pressure may wet southeastern areas before a nice dry air mass arrives for the end of the week into the weekend, but by Sunday, the orientation of high pressure may help switch the regionwide wind flow to east, so we’d have marine influences, which could include coastal low clouds and fog, and at the very least temperatures that would be significantly cooler at the beach than over the interior.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 26-30)
\nHigh pressure will bring great late summer weather August 26-27 with the area between a departing trough in the Canadian Maritimes and low pressure off the Mid Atlantic Coast. Higher humidity and disturbances moving into the region from the west will enhance the risk of showers and thunderstorms at times August 28-30.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 4)
\nThe end of August and first few days of September look humid and slightly unsettled with occasional shower threats as a broad trough moves into the Great Lakes, high pressure is off the Atlantic Coast, and a frontal boundary wavers around the East Coast. Don’t expect this to be a stretch of washed out days, but we may be watching for shower activity on a nearly daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
