DAYS 1-5 ( JULY 15-19)

High pressure centered over eastern Canada will drift slowly southward bringing drier air in for today (which starts on the cloudy and still somewhat humid side) and Thursday. A warm front approaching and moving through the region Friday brings cloudiness, higher humidity, and a risk of showers, then opens the door to some summer heat for the weekend.

TODAY: Clouds break for sun. Drying out. Highs 69-74 coast, 75-80 inland. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog lower elevations overnight. Lows 55-62. Wind E under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 76-83, coolest coast. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Showers possible overnight. Lows 60-67. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers possible. Slight risk of a thunderstorm. More humid. Highs 78-85. Wind S-SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Humid. Highs 85-92. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Humid. Lows 67-74. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Humid. Highs 88-95 except cooler Cape Cod / South Coast. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 20-24)

Very warm to hot, humid, and add in the risk of showers and thunderstorms as a front moves into the area and weakens early next week (July 20-21). Another front pushes in and repeats the process midweek (July 22-23) before drier air arrives late week (July 24) based on current timing.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 25-29)

West to northwest flow aloft, a seasonably warm to occasionally hot pattern but no lasting or extreme heat expected. Occasional opportunities for showers and thunderstorms but drier than average overall for most of the region.

  3. Good morning and thank you TK.
    I welcome the break for today and tomorrow and even
    yesterday was noticeably more comfortable.

    You take what’s coming and )(@(#)&()!@*#)(*!@)(#*!@)#*)!(@#&*(!&@

  4. Thank you, TK. It’s nice to have a few breaks like these during the summer.

    It’s one thing I miss a lot this summer is being able to sit inside a Starbucks or local cafe and enjoy the air-conditioning. My fans and dehumidifier at home do an adequate job at times, but sometimes just can’t keep up.

    As I was channel flipping last night I noticed HSN had one of its Christmas in July sales. I must admit, I actually watched it for 3 minutes because seeing any reference to Christmas in mid-summer makes my heart flutter, in a good way. I’m NOT into the commercialization aspects of the holiday. But, I do like the time of year, and especially the weather. Even if it isn’t yet cold or snowy in November/December, there’s the prospect of that coming around the corner.

  5. SAK. Thank you very much for your answer to my question last night. Amazing and much appreciated.

    1. Fascinating.

      My bigger question is HOW tall are those turbines?
      Even at 0.5 degree angle on the radar, that location West
      of Providence has to be, what 25-30 miles from the radar
      at Taunton???? The beam must be just barely clipping
      the tops of the turbines.

      I’d have to dig deep into my brain to calculate exactly
      how fast that beam is elevated above the surface. Of course
      would have to know elevation of the taunton site and the
      actual radar itself because often they are at an additional elevation. Then would need to know elevation of turbine
      site and height of the turbines.

      Interesting

  6. Sitting out under a thick blanket of clouds and what feels like fog drops. Oddly, comforting as it seems to dull outside noises and make birds chirping even more noticeable.

  9. Wind turbines are at least five hundred feet tall. Also the elevation in Johnson RI where they are located is about three hundred feet. You can see them from the Newport Bridge about thirty five miles away.

  10. We’re going to possibly have an “almost” MCS making a run at New England Friday morning. It’s not ideal for it, but it may be a “semi-dry run” for a pattern that supports that type of stuff in the Great Lakes & Northeast in the coming few weeks.

      1. I’m blanking out on the actual name, but it’s a complex of sometimes long traveled thunderstorms that can have impressive outflow boundaries and accompanied straight-line wind damage.

  12. In August 2012, the Arctic experienced the GAC (Great arctic cyclone), which helped produce the lowest arctic sea ice minimum during the satellite era.

    This summer has featured the GAAC ( great arctic anti cyclone) with a consistently strong 500mb high over the arctic featuring heights of 570 – 576dm.

    The ice sheet north of Siberia has retreated to 81 – 82 N Latitude and there’s some talk of it possibly approaching 85- 87 NLatitude by the Sept minimum.

    Very possible we see a new record low Sept minimum in the satellite era in about 8 weeks.

  13. My son and I just watched the ISS flyover. The viewing conditions were perfect – except for the mosquitoes. It was prime time for the fireflies too!

    1. We were just taking about fireflies. We had tons in framingham. Oddly, I’ve only seen a couple here.

      It sure is a thrill to see the flyover. 🙂
