8:46AM
DAYS 1-5…
High pressure sinks southward into New England this weekend providing great weather. Warmest overall will be Saturday with a northerly wind since the air coming down from Canada is not all that cool. A more onshore flow will cool eastern areas of southern New England down on Sunday and set up an unsettled day Monday as a warm front approaches and brings lots of clouds and the risk of some showers or periods of rain. Not expecting an all-day soaker on Monday, however. A cold front will slowly push through the region on Tuesday, a day which will feature higher humidity and a risk of showers and thunderstorms. By Wednesday, high pressure will bring a pleasant June air mass to the region.
TODAY: Variably cloudy through midday but increasing sun north to south leading to a sunny afternoon. Highs 70s immediate coast, 80s otherwise. Wind N 10-20 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows in the 50s. Winds drop to calm.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs in the 70s but cooling back to the 60s coast. Light wind but with sea breezes.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of a few rain or shower episodes. Lows 55-60. Highs 65-73, coolest coast.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Highs 75-83, coolest coast.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 55-60. Highs in the 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior.
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 18-22)…
Upper air pattern supports warmth, but surface pattern places high pressure more to the north and a front in the vicinity at times. This will lead to a few shower episodes but overall dry weather with temperatures near normal coastal areas and near to above normal interior areas.
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 23-27)…
A subtle shift with high pressure centered a little more to the east over the ocean may allow it to warm somewhat with temperatures near to above normal most areas but still coolest along the coast. Only minor disturbances around at times with no substantial, widespread rain events in sight.
Happy weekend to you TK and to all. Thank you TK. I’m enjoying this format but it is a lot of work for you
I’m also enjoying the variation in humidity and temps June has brought and seems to want to continue.
I love doing this format. I’m most comfortable with it. To me, it’s just not work. 🙂
Good morning all and thank you TK.
As far as I can tell, not a single Drop of rain here last night.
Those storms died in a hurry. 😀
Had a light shower here that wet the ground but did not measure.
Ocean temperature is 54. Now, I believe that to be a true reading.
BRRRR I have seen it a true 62 on this date. Not sure what the average is for
the date. I am guessing about 58-60 or so, but it’s just a guess.
Cold ocean but I think we’re going to see it catch up to nearly normal by July.
Thank you. The updates are terrific.
I’m glad you enjoy the blog. Spread the word. 🙂
Several colleagues at work were totally addicted to this blog in the winter. When I got permission to make comments one of them said it was like knowing one of the Beatles.
If you can stand more deflate-Gate, have a look at this. NY Times TRASHES Wells
Report!

Excellent link OS. How many times do those who Believe that the Pats and specifically Brady did something wrong have to hear proof of the inaccuracy of the very biased Wells report.
The question is, what will Goodell do on the 23rd??? Does he
still want to make an example of brady? OR come to his senses?
I think he has himself backed into one very tight corner. I’m betting he won’t drop it to zero games and I hope Brady takes him all the way if not. Whatever respect I had for BB BTW is gone.
Logan’s temperature is DOWN to 66 with the Wind from 070 Degrees.
I wonder what freakin direction that is?????
6 miles away here in JP it’s 72.5. 😀
Even Beverly, 3.5 miles from the water’s edge, is 74 with wind from 350 degrees.
Struggling here as well, at 68F …. after the warmth, to me, it feels good.
Nearly 100% clear to my north and northeast, with the ribbon of high cloudiness directly overhead.
Its interesting to see the models handle this pattern.
They seem to be struggling with the strength and location of a ridge up near western Alaska.
As their solutions for that change, its having a downstream effect on their take on future trofiness in the NW US.
That in turn has some effect on the jet stream further downstream over us.
I think this is demonstrated in Monday’s outlook, which lately seems a bit wetter and cooler than projected a few days ago.
What interests me is that the SE is going to be getting extremely hot and as the models get a handle on what goes on in Alaska and the US West coast, how it will affect what happens here on the east coast with that intense heat not too far away.
I think Monday will end up more cloudy than wet, though we will see some rain.
Up to 75.6 here.
At 11, Logan up to 68 with wind from 080.
OK quick AccuWeather Trivia Quiz?
What is the record amount of rainfall for Boston on this date, set in 1998?
A. 3.45″
B. 4.36″
C. 5.69″
D. 6.11″
Answer later today.
Purely a guess because I cannot memorize stats the way I used to. C.
so glad it isn’t just me who cannot
I think it is D.
I’m going with D also
A
Noon at Logan, back down to 66!!!!
Wind from 120 Degrees.
Up to 76.5 here.

Stellwagen water temperature: 53.4 !!!!!
YIKES that is COLD!!!!
Never saw this before. Methane bubbles under the ice!

Seen that. It’s neat!
Yes, Very neat. Thanks OS
Boston is now more than 5″ below normal in yearly precip.
And I expect them to be 6-8″ below normal within 8 weeks.
Phew….I’m thinking of taking OSs advice and canceling lawn service and stopping water. Cannot keep up to that. I’d rather use water on the garden/flowers
79.7 here. Glorious out there!
Airport 68 at 1PM.
75 at the airport, winds from 130.
82.9 here.
Topped out around 84 here. now 83.7
77 at airport.
With East wind buoys are now 58.5 and 56.5
Pretty warm for being on the other side of front.
I will say C for the trivia quiz but not because TK says so…I had the same thought as well. I would be curious if the rain on this date in 1998 was due to a tropical system directly or indirectly. 😀
Fwiw, I am much more into snow stats than rain stats. 😉
Regarding the persistent sea breezes at Logan so far, it will be interesting if they will continue to some extent into July and August preventing any potential heat waves from the immediate Downtown Boston eastward to Logan. We seem to have them at least “every other day” now if not consecutive days.
Can anyone remember the last time Logan had a land breeze for an entire day??
There have been a few, esprcially during that
Nice stretch in may. Perhaps not in junr anyway.
82 with 51 DP. Perfect summer day
Average high is 75-80 degrees across the area, and average lows are 53-58 degrees, still another 6-7 weeks of averages going up. 🙂
Average high 75
Average low 59

Not long ago it was given zero chance.
So who freakin knows.
Check out logan.

I know Monday isn’t stellar but how does a field trip to Canobie Lake Park look for that day?
I’m thinking Wednesday is better. All I see is showers and very cool temps for Monday.
New post!
