DAYS 1-5 (JULY 15-19)

The Bermuda High keeps us hot and humid through Wednesday. You’ll want to take steps to be heat-cautious if you will be outside especially during the late morning through early evening hours during the next three days. Additionally, there will be a daily opportunity for showers and thunderstorms to occur, but there are limitations in location / coverage today and tomorrow, with mainly pop-up afternoon to early evening activity today, mostly isolated to scattered coverage, and late-day to evening isolated to scattered coverage tomorrow, favoring areas well northwest of Boston. However, while coverage is limited, any storms that do occur can be strong to severe with damaging wind gusts the primary threat. Any storm can produce torrential rain and dangerous lightning, and while these are not used as criteria for “severe”, they should always be considered as potential threats (flash flooding and lightning strikes) when storms occur. Wednesday, the approach of a cold front has the higher potential to trigger a more widespread shower and thunderstorm event from later afternoon into the night, but some fine-tuning will still be needed on this day’s threat. The cold front moving through overnight and early Thursday may still cause a few showers near the South Coast Thursday morning, but overall that day will become mainly dry with the heat and humidity pushed out. High pressure builds in Friday with seasonably warm, dry weather and comfortable air with much lower humidity.

TODAY: A batch of clouds and a few sprinkles move through early to mid morning west to east, then mostly sunny for several hours before more clouds build, with isolated to scattered thunderstorms mid afternoon to early evening. Any storms can be strong to severe. Highs 88-95 except 80-87 South Coast. Wind SW up to 10 MPH, but can be variable, strong, and gusty near any storms.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms early. Patchy fog. Lows 68-75, warmest urban areas. Dew point upper 60s to lower 70s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Potential isolated to scattered late-day / evening thunderstorms favoring central MA and southwestern to south central NH. Highs 90-97 except 83-90 South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing but again patchy fog develops in low elevation areas. Lows 68-75, warmest urban areas. Dew point near 70. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Potential afternoon thunderstorms. Highs 88-95, except cooler South Coast. Dew point 70+. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, but can be stronger and variable around any storms.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely. Areas of fog. Lows 70-77. Dew point 70+. Wind SW to variable up to 10 MPH but can be stronger and variable around any storms.

THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms, favoring the morning-midday time-frame mainly MA South Shore to South Coast. Highs 80-87. Dew point lowering into/through 60s. Wind variable to NW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Patchy interior lower elevation ground fog. Lows 56-63. Dew point middle to upper 50s. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sunny – few fair weather clouds. Highs 81-88, but a little cooler in some coastal areas. Dew point middle to upper 50s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 20-24)

High pressure brings seasonably warm, dry weather to the region July 20 before moving offshore July 21, allowing a little more humidity and the chance of a shower or t-storm as a weak cold front approaches. That front washes out and the first half of next week looks warm and more humid with a few shower and thunderstorm opportunities, but mainly rain-free weather.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 25-29)

No changes to the outlook. A fairly weak westerly flow pattern on the larger scale. Slightly variable temperatures, a little heat, but no long hot spells, a break in the humidity may come early period before it makes a comeback. Limited, but occasionally present shower and thunderstorm chances too.

  2. Good morning and thank you TK

    Made 89 yesterday

    Overnight low of 72

    Currently 77 with dp 69

    Ocean: 62.1 (Boston buoy)

  7. When you are happy to see dew points in the mid to upper 60s like it was yesterday you know it has been a very humid stretch

        1. The song is in the background of the Al Roker commercial. Al Roker = You Can Call Me Al. 🙂

  13. TK ,
    I think I figured out how My Name kept changing and my
    posts going to moderation.

    With this Heat and humidity, I have been using my Lattop in an Air conditioned room and not my traditional desktop.
    The laptop keyboard is not quite the same and the tab key is too close to other key and I am forever pressing it by accident.
    Depending where I am in a post, it Jumps to Name below the post and inserts whatever I just typed (after accidentally hitting the tab key). Then I try to fix the post and send it without noticing the Name change.

    FOr all the negative things I said about Word Press, I have to say this was NOT their problem

    Cheers

  16. Thanks TK. This humidity is awful with Covid lol. One time I am sweating the next I am freezing.

    6. Me and my whole family are with u there Hadi! We all got COVID upon our return from Italy last weekend. Presumably from the travel. Feel better!

      2. So sorry Ace. We had a kid one row behind us coughing/sneezing etc.. my wife looked at me and said one of us will get Covid in a week and here we are.

    1. 89/74 here. I can’t remember the last day we didn’t hit 90. Or maybe Sunday was the exception that proved the rule?? Although temp for me doesn’t take the toll the DP does.

      How is Mrs OS?

  20. Big SSW event in the S HEM.
    May have implications down the road for the N HEM.

    Stay tuned…

    1. Not sure I am seeing this. Location? (I am looking at something west of Argentina. I must be going about this in the wrong way.)

  22. hmmm, 95 at the airport. That tells me there is room for the temperature at my location to rise some up more from now
    till 5 or even 6PM.

  24. I casn see the one that just popped to my East. Not here. I was just outside. Nothing here.

  27. That’s pretty neat, right on the Mass Pike, Springfield east to Boston Harbor.

    I wonder if the sfc winds are w or wsw near and north of the pike and sw or s, south of the pike, aiding in a little convergence ?

  29. Boston is in the line of fire of the trajectory of these storms.
    Also, another just popped literaly a mile or 2 to my East, Nothing here. 🙂

    1. I take that back. That NWS radar is not zoomed in enough to
      see properly. I used another radar. Storms are tracking just to my North,

    2. I take that back. That NWS radar is not zoomed in enough to
      see properly. I used another radar. Storms are tracking just to my North,

  30. We have thunder. Much like Longshot. It says lightning is 1.8 miles away. Nearest cell looks further. Its than that.

    1. Dry here too. SIL had an enormous fire in fire pit last night. Flames maybe six feet. Made me really nervous.

    1. Cell over Springfield seems to be falling apart. Maybe line that went thru earlier zapped energy????

  36. Quite an outflow boundary just came through marshfield.

    Gusty north wind.

    Half of sky is now cloud covered.

  38. A large area of thunderstorm-warned storms is around Oneonta NY. Do y’all think it has the legs to reach us?
