DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 4-8)

The frontal boundary that will be toying with the region through the weekend will be far enough south today to allow a very nice late spring / early summer day, definitely feeling like summer with warm air in place, but comfortable with low humidity. But back comes that front tonight with clouds, one round of showers (maybe a few embedded thunderstorms but low risk of that), and that introduces the humidity back into the picture for Friday into Saturday when the front pushes back to the south once again. There will be a couple more rounds of showers and storms possible during the humid phase as well, mainly Friday afternoon in scattered form, and a little better chance sometime Friday night with an impulse of low pressure passing by, and once again with the actual front passing by during Saturday. Sunday, the front will be to the south but the orientation of high pressure to the north, in eastern Canada, will turn the wind flow northeast, and the front not being that far away will likely combine to hold a lot of cloudiness in the region, and I’m still not ruling out a few showers developing as well. Monday, the high in Canada will exert more influence and turn us sunnier, cooler, and dry.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 73-80 South Coast, 80-87 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Increasing clouds evening. Mostly cloudy overnight with a round of showers favoring areas near and south of I-90, along with a slight risk of a thunderstorm. Increasingly humid. Lows 60-67. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, favoring the early morning (before 8AM) and mid to late afternoon (after 2PM) hours. Humid. Highs 78-85 except 70-77 South Coast with coolest Cape Cod. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms possible mainly after 10PM. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Risk of showers and thunderstorms mainly late morning and midday west of I-95 and midday to late afternoon from I-95 southeastward. Humid. Highs 76-83. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Less humid. Lows 55-62. Wind NW up to 10 MPH shifting to NE.

SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of showers. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 inland Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 50-57. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 9-13)

High pressure from Canada brings fair, pleasant weather June 9. Then we go back to the pattern with a nearby frontal boundary and bouts of cloudiness while cool air to the north battles warm and humid air to the south. This also means a few shower and thunderstorm threats as well. But despite being in this pattern again it looks like rainfall for the region as a whole will still be below average. The early indications are that moisture from Tropical Storm Cristobal (Gulf of Mexico) will eventually travel through the middle of the US and instead of toward New England will move into Canada and actually result in a very late spring snowstorm somewhere between Lake Superior and Hudson Bay. That will be interesting to watch.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 14-18)

High pressure dominant in eastern Canada and weak systems in the US indicates a drier and slightly cooler than average pattern for our region for mid June.

  2. Good morning and thank you TK for the forecast.

    re: Blog format
    I definitely like this format the best of all of them so far.
    Navigation is easier. I like the previous blogs available over
    to the left side, although the stark blackness is a tad creepy.
    I like the green color when hovering over a post/link and also
    the green post button. Poster’s handle is prominently displayed to easily identify the poster.

    Looking forward to the additional themes to see what else
    there is to offer.

    Many thanks

    1. I actually love the black. But if you see my more-often-than-not style of clothing choice, you’d get that. 😉

      2. I for one like the black background. I use that theme for Windows, Firefox and Thunderbird.

  3. Still have to scroll past all of the posts in order to make a new post, but that is not a deal killer.

  4. Nesting resting…hmmm it seems new posts now rest
    at the bottom, unless I did something wrong.

  5. I liked seeing all the names who posted on the side . I still like the original blog the best in my opinion . Thank you for the forecast Tk

  7. This is my favorite so far. The posters’ names stand out and the navigation makes sense to me. Posting is easier because you can hit “end” and post away. Some of the other formats had lots of other stuff beyond the “leave a reply” field, so “end” brought you too far down to post.

    1. I agree. Even with original included, this is my favorite. Love the way names stand out but black keeps everything neatly organized

  10. I read everything on mobile so I always wonder if I’m getting a different experience than others using desktops. I like this layout the most so far. And some people will only like the old version best because it’s what they are used to but shaking things up can be fun.

    Also: I am just like you TK – a lot of my clothing choice is decidedly dark. lol

    1. I think one of the reasons this layouty feels a bit better is there’s no empty profile picture space next to commenters names. I was one of the only people aside from SAK who have a profile pic.

      1. Agree. I had one at the start of TKs blog and was going to find it and out back in place if he goes with that format, but I was only one then i believe so …..

  13. Thank you, TK

    I love this. I like the black. I like the navigation. I can click on last name of person who posted and go right to bottom without scrolling. But I suspect with my comment on others that I missed the navigation widget in side you’d know I’d like this.

  14. I’m interested to see what the global models do with Cristobal on the 12z runs. They aren’t handling its intensity (pressure) consistently. Yesterday, on the 12z runs, the landfall pressures were around 1,000 mb. This morning, if I recall correctly, the EURO landfall projected pressure was back down to 990 mb and both the GFS and EURO at some point interact the remnants with jet stream energy around the western Great Lakes to produce a strong mid-latitude storm.

  15. With these recent formats so far, they don’t “refresh” by simply hitting return like the original.

  18. Sometimes we identify our ideal summer weather.

    This, today, right here, is it for me.

    Mid 80s, mid 50s dewpoints. Its warm, it feels warm, its not hot, its not uncomfortable. When dark sets in, assuming the dewpoints stayed in the mid 50s, it would cool off to something that is pleasant.

  19. I knew this morning when I switched to this format that this one would be the overwhelming favorite of the four so far.

    I do think that there is at least one left that will gain a more favorable comprehensive review than this one. We will see…

  20. It is different on computer . But mobile I see what’s left on the computer now if I scroll all the way down .

  21. Thank you, TK.

    Definitely my favorite format so far.

    Even though it’s turning humid it’s not hot and I’m fine with this pattern. A couple of cool, dry days followed by several more humid, but not hot ones, followed by a couple of days with some showers. Rinse and repeat.

    1. If this is going to be the potential pattern for this upcoming summer. I think I can handle it pretty well. Hopefully not too many 90s temps.

  26. I don’t know if this Covid or weather/climate related but I heard on tv this morning that the air in Antarctica is the only location on Earth where it is 100% “pure” right now, whatever that means.

    I do know that there are no Covid cases among the few humans there.

  27. 87F at Logan. But, I see some cumulus. Probably will fall short of 90F. Maybe 1 more degree? And, of course, if the sea breeze ever sets in, though the gradient looks strong enough today to keep it at bay.

    1. I don’t actually have that one loaded into my menu. There are a bunch of them that I don’t have.

  31. Boston Buoy temp now at 60F for the first time this season. Will likely only go up much further from now on through August into September.

    1. Pretty much like every other year. 🙂

      Water temps should land slightly above average overall but still regional currents can have impact.

  32. Testing on computer (PC) and continue to like this format. TK, thank you for including all of us in your decision. As it is ultimately your decision, as it should be, it is special to be part of the feedback!!!

    1. I definitely want to hear from as many people as possible. This one is a strong candidate but I have a feeling tomorrow’s is going to beat this one. Not sure about the final 3 … but we’ll see.

    1. I heard that. The NHL is announcing soon I believe. We probably won’t see MLB though. I hate to say this but there seems to be far too much greed going on between the 2 sides to put the game & the fans first. Oh well. Maybe it’s a nice wake-up call for pro sports.

      I am glad that the NBA & NHL will get to finish their suspended seasons. May the best teams win. I hope it’s the Bruins in the NHL!

      1. The NHL has no specific date for a resumption of play but we now know the play in will be best of five and the four other series best of seven. GO RANGERS!!! I heard talk on sports talk today that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred could use a nuclear option and say this is how many games were playing if the two sides could not come to agreement.

  34. 22 teams coming to Orlando. They will play 8 regular season games with the latest possible date for the season ending October 12th.

  35. Like this format the best.

    Weather thoughts – drier than prior model runs. Warmer than I anticipated, with short lived cool downs.

    1. EPS has trended warmer, not overly hot. I think every indication points toward dry.

      We’re going to be in drought before the end of summer, maybe by mid summer.
