Wednesday Forecast Update

SUMMARY…
No major changes today – just minor timing tweaks. Still looking at weak high pressure sinking southward through Thursday and moving off into the Atlantic, then a minor convergence of a disturbance from the south and a cold front from the northwest Friday and Friday night. Any rain from these features will be limited to a few showers. Fair weather returns for the weekend but only with weak high pressure again in control, so do not look for 100% sunshine and any big warm ups, only a modest temperature moderation. A low pressure trough will move in from the west early next week and a weak surface low associated with it, again preventing lots of sun and any building heat.

DAYS 1-5…
TONIGHT… Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Patchy fog possible interior valleys. Lows 38-43 interior valleys 44-49 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY…Clouds give way to sun. Highs from near 60 coastal areas to near 70 interior. Wind light SE.
THURSDAY NIGHT…Increasing clouds. Lows in the 50s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Highs in the 60s. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s, cooler coast.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s, cooler coast.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of a shower. Lows in the 50s. Highs 65-75, coolest coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 9-13)…
A trough swings through the Northeast early in the period with humidity and a shower/t-storm risk followed by drier and cooler air, then a quick switch to warm/humid weather around June 12-13.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 14-18)…
Another passing low pressure trough brings some unsettled weather with episodes of showers and thunderstorms early to mid period, then high pressure ridge hits the East Coast and turns on some Summer heat late in the period.

  2. Thanks TK! This new format is going to be very useful during the winter months. 😀

    1. Maybe Charlie can heat up the Atlantic with his pool water heater. I mean that pool should be plenty warm by now!

      1. Hmm, I was disappointed, I didn’t see anything. There was a lot of low level sky debris tonight, wasn’t totally clear. Did see the creepy yellow moon come up over the horizon through the haze

        1. Good view in Woburn. I think more passes are coming up. I’ll check a bit later. 🙂

              1. You are welcome. My son in law is fascinated by the ISS so has had us watching for some time now. It is really quite exciting to see it way up there

  5. I see 18c on the GFS at 850 mb during TK’s day 11 to 15 day outlook, right near the solstice.

    With the month starting with 49F, 49F and 56F, nearly 15F below average, just the law of averages offer that a few days near +15F above average are due sometime later in the month and by then, average high temps are near 80F.

    I guess I’m throwing out there that I wont be surprised by something around 95F later in the month.

    1. Thank you. I Think the tendency is to feel the drought is gone when we have significant rain. It takes much more to erase a minimal drought. Imagine what it’ll take to erase CAs

      1. Yeah, we’re in nowhere near the kind of pain they are. Luckily they should get a lot of rain and snow this winter because of the El Nino, but it won’t end the drought.

      2. Lol we don’t have a drought, no comparison between our drought and California drought

        1. Just because ours is magnitudes less than California’s does not mean it isn’t one. Granted the rainfall of the last several days helped, but did not end the drought. And yes, it is a drought here. US Drought Monitor update issued TODAY (June 4) takes into account all precipitation through June 2 and has ALL of southern New England in at least “abnormally dry” with 2 significant areas of “moderate drought”.

          1. I’ll be honest the drought monitor is a bunch of crap, it’s all relative, I saw 80+ days of 0 rain, 100 degrees or higher on 75 of those days, no one died!! Only people that watered on odd days got ticketed, and they kept watering, it’s a joke when they say drought here, I believe more that they haven’t given us enough water to survive and to live. 🙂

            1. I gather you are referencing Texas and yes, thank goodness we live in the USA where we can overcome things like drought by still having access to water and food supplies.

              But worldwide, drought kills in large numbers, especially in less developed countries.

  7. California’s drought is almost on par with the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s. It will take quite a while to reverse it. Though the pattern in the 1930s was much more extreme than the one causing California’s issues.

    In further comparison, our drought will be long gone before California’s is declared over.

    1. The problem is that the worlds water supply is dwindling now as opposed to then. It is odd that is ignored and climate change is the focus

  10. Nice afternoon, finally, albeit on the COOL side.

    Where is SUMMER? Oh, sorry, it’s not June 21sr yet. Well Ok then,
    WHERE is weather becoming of June 4th? I’ll take that. Where the bLeep is it????
    😈 👿

  12. For anyone traveling between Boston and Providence, there is a 14 mile back up bc of construction lol, only in Mass 🙂

    1. Guess you’ve never driven in and out of NYC LOL. I was actually caught in a massive jam on the Garden State Parkway due to construction…at midnight!!

      1. I detest the garden state parkway. And I’m thinking,,Charlie, you haven’t driven outside of MA at all. CT is horrendous. NC is worse. Delaware and NJ are horrific. Need I continue 🙂

          1. We started driving here to charleston SC in the 1980s and I’m pretty sure it was even under construction back then

      3. Ik it can be worse, but we are certainly not the best, I just wish we had wider highways, better airport, better Mbta, and better commuter rail, all too hold more, if we put boston area traffic in the NYC area it would feel like a ghost town, some of there highways are minimum 4 lanes, most r 5+ lanes, with many areas 6-7+ lanes 1 direction, if Boston had that, traffic would be easy peasy 🙂
