DAYS 1-5 (JULY 26-30)

High pressure builds in with great weather today and over the weekend. The sky will have a hazier look to it at times today, which is high altitude smoke from Canadian wildfires, but this should diminish in the sky this weekend. Some fair weather clouds will dot the sky at times today as well, and some high to mid level clouds may move in Sunday ahead of an offshore low pressure area. This low has been shown by guidance, in a quick change, to track closer to New England with unsettled weather Monday, when the previous set of guidance runs was showing high pressure offshore with fair, warm, muggy weather returning. I think what ends up happening is somewhat of a compromise between these 2 solutions, with the offshore system less defined than guidance has shown over the last few runs, but moisture still “out there”, with more in the way of clouds and some form of shower threat for Monday, maybe Tuesday as well. But my confidence level is not high on these 2 days, so the wording becomes generalized for this update, and the forecast for early in the week will be fine-tuned in the next couple updates.

TODAY: Sun / high altitude smoke. Passing fair weather clouds midday on. Highs 78-85. Dew point sub-60. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear – some high altitude smoke especially south early. Lows 59-64. Dew point sub-60. Wind N to variable under 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 80-87, coolest coastal areas. Dew point sub-60. Wind N to E up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 61-68. Dew point sub-60. Wind N under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 82-89 but cooler in some coastal locations. Dew point rising to lower 60s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes developing.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy interior lower elevation fog forms. Lows 62-69. Dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Highs 79-86. Dew point 65+. Wind S to variable up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Lots of clouds. Patchy fog. A possible shower. Lows 65-72. Dew point 65+. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Highs 80-87. Dew point 65+. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 31 – AUGUST 4)

A shower or thunderstorm chance will be present middle of next week, decreasing later in the week. Temperatures near to slightly above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 5-9)

A couple episodes where showers and thunderstorms can occur, but the overall pattern will continue to be rain-free and seasonably warm / moderately humid with a westerly flow aloft and high pressure in control much of the time.

  2. Good morning and thank you TK.

    Beautifully and delightfully cooler and DRIER this morning.

    What a RELIEF!!!!

  9. It’s been an exceptionally rainy summer across much of Western Europe. It looks like heavy rain may disrupt the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris.

  11. Thanks, TK!

    Our school’s French teacher and her sister won tickets through a lottery to witness the Opening Ceremonies. They also won tickets to see a few sporting events as well. They left last night and just sent a selfie of themselves settling in on the banks of the Seine! They look so happy! What a trip of a lifetime!

  12. Captain, that’s terrific. Paris! Olympics! Opening ceremony! Nothing better than that. And she’s a French teacher with her sister. C’est formidable! Chouette! Super!

    1. I won three different lotteries (six games total) to see the 1994 World Cup at Foxboro Stadium. I got to see four group games, a Round of 16 game and a quarterfinal game between Italy and Spain. Truly one of the highlights of my life. 30 years ago! Yikes! 🙂

  13. A bit of rain not having an impact on the ceremony at all. This is something I love to see. It’s water. Water is a big part of the summer olympics. It’s very symbolic. 🙂

  14. Monday’s system … will be weaker and further east IMO and not much of an impact other than to prevent it from getting hot.

    There’s not a whole heck of a lot of high heat in sight as we get into the final days of July and early August. More typical summer temps. 🙂

    Tropics remain FAST ASLEEP. No sign of a change into early August. One weak disturbance that will move toward and into the Caribbean over the next week but as John Hope would say “there are really no signs of any development with this system as conditions remain very unfavorable”.

    1. All the broadcasters in anybody who was commenting on the weather had nothing negative to say about rain. I love it.

    1. It was bound to happen once the northerly wind slackened. Although 75 is really not that bad. Quite refreshing along the waterfront. 🙂 I mean 70s is what the majority of people consider the perfect 10-degree temperature span. 🙂

    1. Should be at least a hazy orange. There is a thinning area in the smoke approaching the region now.

  19. If I saw this headline on The Onion I would click on it, but it’s on The Weather Channel, so I’ll pass:
    “Heavy Rain Could Flood Texas With Toxic Worms”

          1. All I can think of is that they might make good fishing bait, especially for large mouth bass. Figures I’d go there. 🙂
