Friday Forecast

7:42AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)
Humid air arrived with a passage of a warm front and will continue into the start of the holiday weekend. A disturbance approaching the region later today will bring the chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially to southern NH and northern MA. A cold front will approach late Saturday and pass through the region during the first half of Sunday with additional shower/thunderstorm opportunities. High pressure builds with later Sunday through Tuesday with great summer weather.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible southern NH and northern MA. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 86-91 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers/thunderstorms through late evening, favoring southern NH and the northern half of MA. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny and hazy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. Humid. Highs 78-86 South Coast, 87-93 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms, especially overnight. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy morning with a chance of showers/thunderstorms. Mostly sunny afternoon. Humid then drier late. Highs 82-92, coolest South Coast. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
TUESDAY – INDEPENDENCE DAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except cooler some coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 5-9)
Humidity returns along with a daily risk of isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 10-14)
Similar pattern continues.

Thursday Forecast

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 29-JULY 3)
Quick forecast update. Discussion later.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. More humid late. Highs 75-83. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated thunderstorms favoring southern NH and northern MA late. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light SW.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, some of which may be strong. Humid. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 86-92 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Slight chance of thunderstorms, favoring the late night. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to middle 70s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s South Coast and upper 80s to lower 90s elsewhere.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 4-8)
High pressure dominates Tuesday July 4 with drier and seasonably warm summer weather based on current timing. Increasing humidity again July 5-8 with a risk of a few showers and thunderstorms at times as a southwesterly flow returns.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 9-13)
Some uncertainty continues. Current thinking is fairly muggy weather with occasional showers and thunderstorms, but no long-lasting rain, during this period.

Wednesday Forecast

6:45AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 28-JULY 2)
A light westerly will try to bring a sunny, mild, and dry early summer day, but lingering cold air aloft will allow clouds to pop up again, but unlike yesterday, there is not enough of a disturbance to create as many showers and thunderstorms, just a few isolated ones, favoring northern MA and southern NH. Even these areas have a low probability of seeing anything in any particular location. A warm front will push across the region Thursday, opening the door to higher humidity by the end of the day and continuing for the last day of June on Friday and the beginning of July and the start of the holiday weekend, which is loosely defined as Saturday through Tuesday this time.
TODAY: Sunny into late morning then partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms favoring northern MA and southern NH this afternoon. Highs 75-83. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 58-64. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. More humid late. Highs 75-83. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated thunderstorms favoring southern NH and northern MA late. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind light SW.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, some of which may be strong. Humid. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 86-92 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Slight chance of thunderstorms, favoring the late night. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to middle 70s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s South Coast and upper 80s to lower 90s elsewhere.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely in the morning and midday, diminishing thereafter. Humid. Lows from the upper 60s to middle 70s. Highs in the 80s except cooler South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 3-7)
High pressure moves in for Monday July 3 and Tuesday July 4 with drier and seasonably warm summer weather based on current timing. Increasing humidity again July 5-7 with a risk of a few showers and thunderstorms at times as a southwesterly flow returns.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 8-12)
Some uncertainty so a low confidence forecast here. Current thinking is fairly muggy weather with occasional showers and thunderstorms, but no long-lasting rain, during this period.

Tuesday Forecast

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 27-JULY 1)

Warm to hot, isolated showers/thunderstorms but mainly dry otherwise July 7-8. Better chance of showers/storms later in the period.

Monday Forecast

6:03AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 26-30)
The final 5 days of June, and they go something like this… Broad trough ignites diurnal clouds today but showers should stay mainly to the north. A disturbance coming along later Tuesday will bring a better shot at showers and a few thunderstorms, and this should depart Wednesday which turns out drier. Upper low exits and weak ridge moves in Thursday but progressive flow allows a warm front to cross the region Thursday night and early Friday, which may bring a shower or thunderstorm. We will be in a fairly unstable and more humid southwesterly flow Friday so additional storms may be possible. Will have to watch this although it’s too far away for any detail.
TODAY: Sunny start, then a sun/cloud mix. Isolated shower or thunderstorm possible mainly southern NH. Highs 76-83, coolest Cape Cod. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 57-64. Wind light WSW.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs 77-84. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy evening with scattered showers/thunderstorms. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 58-64. Wind light SW to W.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy morning with a risk of isolated showers favoring Cape Cod, then mostly sunny. Highs 77-84. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Risk of a shower/thunderstorm at night. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 1-5)
A few episodes of showers/thunderstorms possible over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday July 1 and 2 but not looking for any washouts. Generally dry weather expected for the “extended weekend” Monday through Wednesday July 3 through 5. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-5 (JULY 6-10)
Warm to hot, isolated showers/thunderstorms but mainly dry otherwise July 6-8. Better chance of showers/storms later in the period.

Sunday Forecast

10:46AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 25-29)
No significant changes on this short update. Will basically press repeat on the discussion to remind you of the mostly nice weather but cooling trend as a broad trough moves through during the next several days. This trough will carry a few disturbances in it, but generally will ignite diurnal clouds and the risk of isolated showers. A more potent disturbance Tuesday night into early Wednesday may bring a more organized round of showers, based on current timing. This trough should be beyond the region by Thursday with a flat ridge moving in resulting in fair and much warmer weather. Will re-evaluate again and a more comprehensive outlook for the last 5 days of June and the “July 4th Weekend” will be on the next update.
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny with a slight risk of isolated showers afternoon. Highs 78-85. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Mostly clear overnight. Lows 56-63. Wind light NW.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of a shower. Highs 77-85. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Showers mainly at night. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy early with showers, then partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs in the 80s except some 70s coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)
A zonal (west to east) flow dominates. A disturbance somewhere around the middle of the period may bring a few showers/thunderstorms otherwise expected mainly dry weather with temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 5-9)
A similar pattern is expected to continue during this period as well.

Saturday Forecast

9:57AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 24-28)
A cold front will move through the region this morning and early afternoon, and running along and ahead of it are the remains of TS Cindy, bringing some significant rain to southern New England, particularly CT, RI, and southeastern MA. The front itself may bring a shower or thunderstorm as it crosses the region behind the rain area. Everything should be offshore by early afternoon, though it may take until mid afternoon to fully clear Cape Cod. The rest of the weekend will be mainly dry with lowering humidity, although there may be just enough instability on Sunday midday and afternoon to pop an isolated shower or two, but don’t cancel any outdoor plans for this remote possibility. Also, astronomically high tides through the weekend may result in some minor coastal flooding. A broad trough of low pressure will move through the region Monday through Wednesday and will bring somewhat cooler air and a few opportunities for showers.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy through early afternoon with rain, moderate to heavy at times including embedded thunder, steadiest in CT, RI, and southeastern MA, spotty and lighter to the northwest, but a risk of a heavier shower/thunderstorm crossing the region from west to east late morning through early afternoon. Decreasing clouds mid afternoon on. Humid, then drying out late. Highs 78-84 South Coast, 84-90 elsewhere. Wind variable 5-15 MPH morning, W to NW 10-20 MPH this afternoon and evening.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 57-64. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny with a slight risk of isolated showers afternoon. Highs 78-85. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Mostly clear overnight. Lows 56-63. Wind light NW.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of a shower. Highs 77-85. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Scattered showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 29-JULY 3)
A zonal (west to east) flow dominates. A disturbance somewhere around the middle of the period may bring a few showers/thunderstorms otherwise expected mainly dry weather with temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 4-8)
A similar pattern is expected to continue.

Friday Forecast

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 23-27)
Warm front crosses the region today, and humidity increases. Cold front slowly sags through the region tonight and Saturday and some of the moisture from the former TS Cindy comes along it and enhances shower activity. This should clear the region later Saturday and set up a drier Sunday. A broad trough moves into the region early in the week with a cooling trend and some threat of showers.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms though much of the time will be rain-free. Increasingly humid. Highs 75-81 coast, 82-87 interior. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Showers likely, some possibly heavy. Chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Lows 64-71. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy, episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms, some with heavy rain, tapering off during the afternoon from west to east. Humid. Highs 72-79. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 60-67. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 28-JULY 2)
A broad trough moves through the region during the first part of the period with episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms favoring June 27-28. Drier weather follows as the trough moves to the east. Temperatures near to below normal through mid period, then warming up.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 3-7)
Progressive flow should continue but with a little more of a broad ridge moving in, with limited shower chances and temperatures near to above normal.

Thursday Forecast

7:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 22-26)
High pressure brings great weather today, but don’t get used to it. A warm front crosses the region early Friday and opens the door to humid air which will flow into the region along with a chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm a couple times during the day Friday. A cold front will approach the region Friday night but may take all day Saturday to cross, allowing moisture associated with the remains of Tropical Storm Cindy from the Gulf of Mexico to become involved. This will increase the threat of significant rain across the region Friday night, areas of which may linger into at least part of Saturday. For now will optimistically say that enough dry air arrives by Sunday for fair weather though some cloudiness may be around. Another trough approaches the region Monday and may bring another risk of showers.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83. Wind variable 5-15 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms though much of the time will be rain-free. Increasingly humid. Highs 75-81 coast, 82-87 interior. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Showers likely, some possibly heavy. Chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Lows 64-71. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Humid. Highs 72-79. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 27-JULY 1)
A broad trough moves through the region during the first part of the period with episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms favoring June 27-28. Drier weather follows as the trough moves to the east. Temperatures near to below normal through mid period, then warming up.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 2-6)
Progressive flow should continue but with a little more of a broad ridge moving in, with limited shower chances and temperatures near to above normal.

Wednesday Forecast

3:38AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 21-25)
Summer officially arrived at 12:24AM. A cold front will pass through the region today, but will have limited moisture to work with. There will still be a shower and thunderstorm threat from this front, favoring areas along and south of the Mass Turnpike during the afternoon. High pressure moves in with mild and dry weather for Thursday, but the progressive pattern brings the next system in rather quickly and its warm front will pass by in the early hours of Friday opening the door to warmth, humidity, and the risk of showers/thunderstorms on Friday. The weekend remains a bit questionable as I see it. Some of this will depend on remnant moisture from a tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico. I’m not confident yet that a cold front approaching Friday night fully moves off the coast and cleans house for the weekend, so for now I am going to leave the risk of showers in the forecast for the coming weekend.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms favoring southern MA, CT, and RI during the afternoon. Highs 77-85. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy early, then clear. Lows 57-64. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 76-83. Wind variable 5-15 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s South Coast, middle 80s to lower 90s elsewhere.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 26-30)
A broad trough moves through the region during the first half of the period with episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms favoring June 26 and 28. temperatures near to below normal. Fair and warmer weather returns at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 1-5)
Progressive flow should continue but with a little more of a broad ridge moving in, with limited shower chances and temperatures near to above normal.

Tuesday Forecast

3:03AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 20-24)
Humidity comes down a notch but still hangs around today as the front that approached yesterday slowly washes out over the region. This front will be the focus for early morning showers and possible thunderstorms, and a small disturbance coming along this afternoon may kick off yet another shower or storm in a few locations. Yet another cold front will come along Wednesday and may trigger another shower or storm, this time favoring areas to the south. High pressure brings fair, dry weather Thursday. Then the weather turns unsettled again as the jet stream brings a series of disturbances and the chance of showers at times Friday and Saturday.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy through mid morning with showers and a few thunderstorms possible, favoring eastern MA and RI. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy remainder of day including the risk of isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 80-87 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows 60-67. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms favoring southern MA, CT, and RI. Highs 77-85. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s;.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 25-29)
A broad trough moves through the region during the first half of the period with episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms and temperatures near to below normal. Fair and warmer weather returns at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)
Progressive flow should continue but with a little more of a broad ridge moving in, with limited shower chances and temperatures near to above normal.

Monday Forecast

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 19-23)
A slow-moving cold front will approach today and basically wash out over the region Tuesday, but will be the focus for some shower and thunderstorm development at times, mainly well to the west today moving eastward tonight, then a few more triggering at times Tuesday. Before that, a brief shower may occur in southeastern MA this morning along an old dew point boundary. Another cold front will sweep through early Wednesday but probably without any shower activity, introducing less humid air for midweek. Humidity and a shower risk returns at the end of the week.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy early with isolated showers southeastern MA. Partly sunny with a slight risk of isolated showers or thunderstorms later morning on. Humid. Highs 77-82 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers/thunderstorms moving in from west to east but weakening with time, though some could still be strong. Humid. Lows 63-68. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Showers/thunderstorms are most likely southeastern MA early in the day and isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible anywhere in the afternoon. Humid. Highs 75-82. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Less humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 24-28)
Generally progressive flow expected with broad passing trough bringing the greatest risk of unsettled weather early through mid period. Temperatures near to slightly below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 29-JULY 3)
Progressive flow should continue but with a little more of a broad ridge moving in, with a warmer/drier trend overall.

Sunday Forecast

8:13AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 18-22)
A warm and humid air mass will be in control through Monday with cloudiness a little more dominant today as the wind is more southerly, and sunshine becoming more dominant Monday as the wind is more southwesterly. A few spot showers today will favor Cape Cod but are possible anywhere. Much of tonight and Monday will be rain-free, but showers/thunderstorms develop to the west and northwest during Monday and the remains of those should arrive from west to east Monday evening. I’m not feeling that the timing will allow for severe storms to be an issue but some flash flooding is possible especially to the west as heavier rain may occur over the same area for a long period of time. The cold front responsible for this will fall apart over the region Tuesday which will still be somewhat humid and slightly unsettled. Another front will come along Wednesday with an additional shower/thunderstorm threat and will clear things out for Thursday, assuming current timing holds several days in advance.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Slight risk of isolated showers or thunderstorms, favoring Cape Cod. Humid. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 80-86 elsewhere. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Humid. Lows 63-70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers and thunderstorms through mid afternoon then a better chance of showers/storms west to east evening and night. Humid. Highs 77-82 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of showers. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Less humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 23-27)
Generally progressive flow expected with broad passing trough bringing the greatest risk of unsettled weather mid to late period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 28-JULY 2)
Similar pattern expected to continue, passing shower threats, generally seasonable but somewhat variable temperatures.

Saturday Forecast

9:12AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 17-21)
As we head toward the summer solstice, we will see some unsettled weather due to some slow-moving fronts in the region, first a warm front crawling east northeastward across the region today, holding clouds, some fog, and patchy drizzle in the region. Also this front being in the vicinity can generate scattered showers at any time, though most of the day will be rain-free. The front finally gets through the area tonight and we will spend Sunday and Monday in the warm sector between it and a cold front to the west, which will also take its time getting here. During our time in the warm air, it will be humid as well and a spot shower can’t be ruled out, but the main threat of showers/thunderstorms will arrive from west to east Monday as the front gets close. We’ll have to keep an eye on the timing of this front and our ability to realize any severe weather potential. This front will be slow to exit Tuesday, which will still be somewhat humid with a shower risk. And yet another front may generate a few more showers/storms Wednesday.
TODAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog and patchy drizzle in the morning. Isolated showers. Highs 68-76. Wind light SE to S.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers. More humid. Lows 60-67. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Slight risk of isolated showers or thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 80-86 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Humid. Lows 63-70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers and thunderstorms through mid afternoon then a better chance of showers/storms west to east late. Humid. Highs 77-82 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Less humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 22-26)
Generally progressive flow expected with broad passing trough bringing the greatest risk of unsettled weather mid to late period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 27-JULY 1)
Similar pattern expected to continue, passing shower threats, generally seasonable but somewhat variable temperatures.

Friday Forecast

7:33AM
3:28PM update to add discussion.

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 16-20)
No significant changes to the forecast. Warm front approaches today with increasing shower risk which peaks tonight including the risk of a few thunderstorms. Saturday, the front will be slow to push though so lots of clouds, some fog, and a risk of showers lingers, though much of the time may turn out rain-free. There may be some visibility issues and still a risk of showers for the early part of the Parade of Sail in Boston for the arrival of the Tall Ships, but not expecting big storms or a wash-out. For Sunday and Monday we’ll be in a warm, humid, southwesterly flow with only the slightest risk of a few pop up showers/storms, otherwise the better chance will wait until ahead of a cold front approaching later Monday. This front will also be on the slow side to exit the region so the shower risk continues into Tuesday along with some humidity despite it turning a little cooler.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers threat increasing during the afternoon. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Wind SE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Showers likely. Risk of thunderstorms favoring RI and southeastern MA. Areas of fog. Lows 60-67. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy morning with areas of fog and scattered showers. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny afternoon. More humid. Highs 70-78, coolest coast. Wind SE to SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of isolated showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s, some 70s South Coast.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s, cooler South Coast.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s, coolest coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 21-25)
Risk of a shower or thunderstorm June 21 otherwise mainly dry through June 23 then shower risk returns later in the period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 26-30)
Dry weather most likely at the start and end of the period with a higher risk of showers mid period. Temperatures closer to normal overall.
