DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 20-24)
Humidity comes down a notch but still hangs around today as the front that approached yesterday slowly washes out over the region. This front will be the focus for early morning showers and possible thunderstorms, and a small disturbance coming along this afternoon may kick off yet another shower or storm in a few locations. Yet another cold front will come along Wednesday and may trigger another shower or storm, this time favoring areas to the south. High pressure brings fair, dry weather Thursday. Then the weather turns unsettled again as the jet stream brings a series of disturbances and the chance of showers at times Friday and Saturday.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy through mid morning with showers and a few thunderstorms possible, favoring eastern MA and RI. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy remainder of day including the risk of isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs 75-80 South Coast, 80-87 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows 60-67. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms favoring southern MA, CT, and RI. Highs 77-85. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s;.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 25-29)
A broad trough moves through the region during the first half of the period with episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms and temperatures near to below normal. Fair and warmer weather returns at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 30-JULY 4)
Progressive flow should continue but with a little more of a broad ridge moving in, with limited shower chances and temperatures near to above normal.

  3. Very exciting night weather-wise in Sudbury last evening. Not Really. Just some big drops of rain that turned into a brief downpour and then some rain. No thunder/lightning. There was wind but then it had been windy all day. Really felt like summer yesterday. A non-severe thunderstorm would have been nice at the end of the day.

      1. Just some teasing – once in a great while I get like that. Wish we did get some good storms here though!

  5. Good morning and thank you TK.

    We are running on a generator this morning at the office. It was a transformer out
    on the street that Eversource is replacing. They’ll switch us back when complete.

    Picked up about 0.14 inch of additional rain over night and this morning. Big woof!

    I have to assume that the main culprit in derailing storms in Eastern sections was
    that Marine influence from the SOUTH wind. Of course losing the daytime heating
    didn’t help either, but I am still thinking it was the SOUTH wind as the main
    contributor. Kind of KILLS the instability.

    Oh well, we’ll see next time. 😀

    1. Bret (with one T) will dissipate long before getting close to Nicaragua and there is no Tropical Storm Three yet.

  9. Albany and NYC radars indicating some convection beginning to fire
    in the Berkshires. Noting serious, but there is something there.

    No Taunton NWS radar today.

    1. FWIW, the HRRR is not showing much of any convection for today.
      A bit out West and NONE in the East. Does not mean it correct, however.

  10. Logan’s DP still at 69, so not much drying (None at all actually) just yet. I do see dps
    of 59 and 60 in far Western sections.

  11. For Wed and Fri comparing 12z American Models.
    Wed: NAM shows some instability for storms but nothing impressive
    GFS a little more aggressive with instability in parts of eastern SNE
    Fri: NAM aggressive with the severe parameters
    GFS pockets of good instability but overall nothing impressive.

  13. Phoenix temp expected to be 122. Tens of flights are grounded due to the heat.

    I do love new England.

    1. My boss is on vacation in Scottsdale this week, said it hit 120 yesterday. I don’t care if it’s “dry heat,” that is downright hot!

      1. Ugh. I am happy right here thank you!! I’ve said here a few times that Mac has two cousins who live in AZ and they laugh when people say dry heat. One said 100 is 100………period 🙂

      1. Funny,
        I have been in Las Vegas in the Summer where there didn’t
        seem to be a problem. Planes were coming and going, however, it was only 108 and not 122. 😀

      2. I love NEW England. I didn’t initial cap the New. Sorry

        And yes, you answered your question re flying 🙂

          1. Well, I’d say it is a little bit you and a little bit me. I didn’t initial cap New!

            Or is it a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll.

    2. Funny I just saw that on my browsing and posted it somewhere and now I see it’s here too. You’re right Dave, yellow carp. 🙂

  16. Taunton NWS current take on Friday. I agree, except NOT near the coast once again.

    Friday and Friday night…Warm and humid air make a return to the
    forecast area with high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s back
    from the south coast and dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s. An
    approaching cold will likely trigger scattered thunderstorms over
    the western half of the area during the afternoon and across most of
    the area during the evening. Precipitable waters approach 2 inches
    and so there could be heavy downpours with a few of the
    thunderstorms. It is also possible that the short wave energy could
    entrain some tropical moisture from the Gulf states as well. There
    also looks to be a sufficient combination of instability and deep
    layer shear to support isolated strong thunderstorms with isolated
    severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts not out of the
    question.

  18. I asked my flight expert about the grounded airplanes. They are the smaller CRJs …50 ish seater.

    It is fake news

    Why do I feel dirty saying that 🙂 🙂 🙂
