DAYS 1-5 (JULY 1-5)
If you picked this week for not having to go to work, you win. Hmm, looks like I won. 😉 … High pressure dominates with about as great a 5-day stretch of weather as you can have, starting out dry and pleasant today with a gradual increase in humidity and a bit more heat as the week goes on, but you will never really feel the humidity become oppressive, because it won’t quite make it to that level, it will just become more noticeable especially by Thursday (July 4). Our fairly insignificant threats of any unsettled weather are in the form of a pop up shower over the hills north and west of Boston later today, a possible early morning shower Tuesday with a passing disturbance, a slight risk of a brief shower early Wednesday south and west of Boston as debris from day-before thunderstorms in the Midwest passes by, and a risk of an air mass thunderstorm popping up later Friday. Otherwise, the next 5 days will be largely rain-free. As a friendly reminder, if
you have outdoor plans, remember things like sunscreen and to drink water for hydration, insect repellent, and as always, check for ticks if you’ve been near any vegetation. Common sense stuff in general but easy to overlook if you are busy coordinating things. Otherwise, enjoy the weather if you have an opportunity to do that!

A few changes for early next week with high pressure bringing dry and pleasant weather to start the week then a quick warm up ahead of an approaching front with increasing humidity and a risk of showers/thunderstorms toward midweek.
