DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 28 – JULY 2)
High pressure will bring two wonderful early summer days today and Wednesday, and Thursday says “hey wait, I wanna be wonderful too!” Well, I think it will. The details of each day will be determined by the position of governing high pressure, which sitting to our west today brings mild and dry air with a general land breeze, and sitting overhead Wednesday brings lighter wind, warming air, but cooling coastal sea breezes. But we have a little interruption Wednesday night to deal with, that many people may not even notice, and that’s a trough sliding across the area from west to east. This weak, fast-moving system will bring clouds and perhaps a passing shower, but will be gone before the sun comes up Thursday, which will be a bright and warmer day as another high builds in. By Friday, this high will slide offshore into the perfect position to deliver us some summer heat, and an increase in humidity, though not to oppressive levels on that particular day. We will get our humidity spike on Saturday as a cold front approaches, triggering the chance of showers and thunderstorms. The coverage and intensity of showers and storms will be depending on the sun’s heating before the front’s arrival and the timing of the front as it crosses the area. This aspect of the forecast will be fine-tuned as we draw closer to its occurrence, so for now the forecast wording will be more generalized.
TODAY: Sun with passing clouds. Highs 76-83. Dew point near 50. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: A few clouds early, then clear. Lows 53-60. Dew point near 50. Wind N under 10 MPH early, then calm.
WEDNESDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Dew point lower 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes developing.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a passing shower. Lows 60-67. Dew point upper 50s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85. Dew point lower 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 58-65. Dew point middle 50s. Wind WSW up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 88-95, cooler South Coast. Dew point upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 67-74. Dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 85-92, cooler South Coast. Dew point middle to upper 60s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (JULY 3-7)
High pressure is expected to be in control of the weather for July 3-5 with fair weather, refreshing Canadian air to start then a warming trend following. Disturbances from the west bring increased humidity and the chance of showers / thunderstorms later in the period.
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 8-12)
Shower/thunderstorm risk early in the period then high pressure takes over with fair weather, drier at first then more humid again later in the period when the shower/thunderstorm risk may return.

0.65” rainfall at Logan yesterday
A little over an inch here.
Good morning and thank you TK.
Thanks, TK.
Just north of Tokyo, the mercury topped 104F. It’s been very hot in much of Japan: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/tokyo-warned-power-crunch-japan-endures-heat-wave-rcna35425
Thanks TK.
Actually ended up with a nice day here in North Conway yesterday. Had some light showers on and off for about 3 hours and then ended up partly sunny with a high of 80 in the afternoon. Looking at the NWS forecast beforehand you would have thought it was going to be a washout.
Cooler pleasant day with low humidity today after the frontal passage. It is 64 here while Mt Washington is sitting at 40 with a wind chill of 28.
As you know….North Conway holds many memories for me. So glad your weather tuned out to be good
Have they repaired the red jacket?
The whole southern half of the building has been demolished and cleared. The northern half of the building looks undamaged at least from the outside. But the whole resort is closed. Hopefully they rebuild!
Thanks TK.
Thanks TK.
Interesting phenomenon – “thunderstorm asthma:” https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/06/bad-weather-creates-perfect-storm-for-asthma-sufferers/
