DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 15-19)
A back-door cold front is completing its trek across the region from northeast to southwest early this morning and today will be another fair weather day, but cooler than yesterday as our air which was modified continental polar is now maritime polar and has spent time over cool water before reaching us. There are some patchy stratus clouds that have also drifted in from the ocean but those will dissipate as the sun climbs higher, impacting mostly eastern coastal areas until about mid morning. High pressure slips offshore tonight and Thursday and a warm front approaches from the southwest. This front will increase the clouds in the region but the day should be rain-free. It is at night when the front brings the chance of some shower activity along with a possible thunderstorm, mainly overnight / early hours of Friday. During Friday, we will briefly find ourselves in the much warmer to hotter air mass that resides largely in the Midwest, Plains, and Southwest at this time, but this won’t last long. A cold front will sweep through between late morning and mid afternoon from northwest to southwest. This front will likely trigger showers and thunderstorms, but the greatest coverage of these and the strongest storms may occur over southeastern MA and RI due to the timing of the front. Over the weekend, we’ll have a drier and cooler air mass in place, but upper level low pressure centered just to our east means that we will have at least some clouds at times, and the chance exists for a pop up shower each weekend day, but favoring Saturday.
TODAY: Morning clouds, especially near the eastern coastal areas of MA, otherwise mostly sunny. Highs 73-80, coolest coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH morning, E up to 10 MPH afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 55-62. Wind E to variable under 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Wind SE up to 10 MPH morning, S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts afternoon.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms. Areas of fog. Humid – dew point 60+. Lows 61-68. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. A shower or thunderstorm possible late morning through mid afternoon from northwest to southeast across the region. Any thunderstorms may be strong. Humid morning – dew point 60+, then lowering humidity. Highs 81-88. Wind W-NW 5-15 MPH, gusty.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Isolated showers possible. Highs 75-82. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 53-60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of isolated showers. Highs 75-82. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 20-24)
The general northwesterly flow pattern continues across the northeast with limited rain chances and near to below normal temperatures.
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 25-29)
No significant changes to the pattern are expected during this period as well.
Thanks, TK.
Will the storms Friday be severe?
Latest from the Severe Storms Prediction center. Still needs to be monitored.
…New England…
Modest low-level moisture should be in place ahead of a cold front
across parts of New England Friday morning. There are differences in
latest global guidance regarding the placement of the front and
quality of the low-level moisture. Have leaned towards the 00Z
GFS/ECMWF frontal position and timing, which suggest that a faster
progression of the front Friday morning/afternoon should tend to
limit instability and the overall severe threat across
southern/eastern New England. If the slower 00Z NAM solution is
correct, then some severe risk would exist across this area. Will
defer possible inclusion of low severe probabilities until better
model agreement is realized.
Good morning and thank you TK
Thanks TK
Massive hail storm yesterday in Mexico City: https://twitter.com/US_Stormwatch/status/1536588723508219904
Now that is IMPRESSIVE!!!
I suppose being at 7,000+ elevation helps,
Here is some more info

Interesting day for sure. There was also major flooding in Yellowstone.
Nature will probably balance itself out as far as temperatures probably July maybe above normal. It’s summer it’s supposed to be hot. Just a guess on my part.
Yes, but summer heat doesn’t always mean “above normal”. 🙂
Thanks TK.
Thanks TK !
Thanks, TK!
Currently 68 at the airport. 71 here in JP.
Very pleasant out there.
Practice rounds at the US Open in Brookline today.
Opening round tomorrow.
That course is so close to me, I could walk over there easily.
In 1988 people were trying to park in our neighborhood.
Attended in 1988. Took my dad for the final round
and it turns out there was a Monday playoff and my wife came with me for that one. Curtis Strange beat Nick Faldo. Pretty awesome event to watch.
Son played the course a time or two when he was a member of Framingham high golf team.
I suspect most have, but if not, I HIGHLY recommend watching the movie The best game ever played.
Our son was a Ouimet Scholar.
Oops. It is The Greatest Game Ever Played.
Watched that about 5 times!!! Loved that movie!
I am not surprised. We’ve seen it many times also. The kids enjoy it also. I’m watching again now
Thanks TK.
Keep the northwesterly flow coming! 🙂
No doubt we will pay the price later with many days of HHH.
still only 68 at the airport.
My equipment is reading 77, but it is in the sun, so I’d say
it is 75. Very very very nice out to say the least!!
I’m 78 not in sun. It feels as if the DP is a bit higher today.
What a string of lovely days
We’ll know more tomorrow, but the possibility exists for some severe weather on Friday. We shall see. Main threat may end up being SW of our area.
BREAKING NEWS: Fenway will host a Game 6 Celtics “watch party” Thursday night.
Coming back to Mass today, will be there for a couple days until my flight to the Azores Saturday. Can’t wait to be able to walk and sleep without breaking a sweat
Welcome home, Matt, if even for a bit
New weather post…
