Great Weekend

11 Comments

9:50AM

High pressure building into the northeastern USA has already pushed Friday night’s rain offshore and is doing the same to the clouds now. One more finger of clouds trying to come down from the north should start to dry up as it runs into the drying air. Even if it didn’t, the Boston area will still enjoy a fair amount of sun today and about 100% of the possible sunshine on Sunday, though a few high clouds may slide across the sky as warm and more humid air to the southwest starts to ride up over the drier air that will be in place.

By Monday, as high pressure slides off the East Coast, this very warm, humid air will become established, and continue into Tuesday, but a cold front crossing the region during Tuesday and Tuesday night will set off showers and thunderstorms.

Looking ahead to the middle & end of next week, cooler/drier/windy weather is expected Wednesday, and a couple great summer days should finish out the work week, if you’re working, or just make for great vacation weather if you are on vacation.

Boston area details…

TODAY: Partly to mostly sunny. High 82 to 87. Wind N 5 to 15 mph.

TONIGHT: Clear. Low 61 to 66. Wind N up to 10 mph.

SUNDAY: Sunny. High 74 to 79 coast, 80 to 85 inland. Wind N up to 10 mph becoming E.

MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Low 64. High 88.

TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Low 68. High 86.

WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Low 60. High 79.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 57. High 80.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Low 59. High 85.

  1. Beautiful day out today! It felt muggier earlier but now the wind is picking up and it already feels drier. Enjoy the rest of the wknd. everyone! 🙂

  2. Dew points dropping making it for some spectcular summer weather. Thunderstorm Index takes a break until Tuesday with the approach of our next cold front which should gives another great stretch of weather starting Wednesday. If next week is your vacation week it looks like your picked a great week to be off.

  3. Awesome weather today for outdoor activity. I spent a little time outside with my son in between errands with my mom. In about an hour I’m heading to Middleton for Chief Will’s Day which is a firetruck parade, road races, a carnival, live music, a $5 cookout (and yes you get a full meal including ice cream dessert) and of course a big fireworks display to end it all later tonight.

  5. The only bump in the road this week looks to be on Tuesday with the threat of showers and thunderstorms. The storm predicition center has us in a slight risk area on Tuesday.
    Early thinking with the thunderstorm index and this could change but I am going with a 2 which MODERATE meaning isolated severe weather is POSSIBLE. My biggest concern should this happen is damaging wind gusts.

  7. Good morning. What an absolutely perfect weekend. Hope everyone is having fun. John have a great vacation week! Off to check jimmyjames link. Thanks for posting it

  8. One of the newscasters over on WBZ radio this morning reffered to today as a lovely “mid-summer’s” day or something to that effect.

    Is it technically “mid-summer” already?? Yes, I would like an answer to this question…thanks in advance. 🙂

    1. Mid-summer to me would be about 45 days from the solstice technically. Although yesterday I was saying it doesn’t seem possible that July is nearly half over. Maybe mid summer spans a period of a few weeks. But it’s only been about three weeks since the real start of summer

    2. From a meteorological standpoint, one could define early summer as June, mid summer as July, and late summer as August. But the calendar is what it is, and when it comes to it, I guess it really doesn’t matter. Weather doesn’t care what we call it. 🙂
