Friday Forecast

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 21-25)
High Summer! We’re in it now and it feels like it today with high pressure in control, moderate but slightly lowering humidity, and very warm to hot air. The weather over the weekend had looked a little iffy but I’m more confident today that we get through the weekend largely rain-free, but not cloud-free. There should still be a fair amount of sun Saturday as dry air keeps most of the cloudiness at bay even though it will try to move in. They should win the battle a little more by Sunday though it looks like the next low pressure area along a front to the southwest and south of the region will dive to the southeast and take the rain with it. By Monday, the next wave will move more to the east northeast and we should get wet then, with this lingering into Tuesday.
REST OF THIS AFTERNOON: Sunshine. Highs 82-87 Cape Cod, 88-93 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 62-70, warmest urban areas. Wind light W.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 77-84 South Coast, 85-91 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 62-70, warmest urban areas. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 75-80 coast, 80-85 interior. Wind light variable to NE.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 26-30)
As we head into the home stretch of July, there will be additional changes as we are in a progressive pattern with a ridge in the western US and a northwest flow in the northeastern US. High pressure will bring dry and warmer weather July 26. A front approaches later July 27 and moves through during July 28 with a chance of showers/thunderstorms. High pressure should bring fair weather again thereafter.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 31-AUGUST 4)
One more front around the first couple days of August should bring a thunderstorm risk otherwise mainly dry and normally warm and somewhat humid summer weather is expected.

  3. Thank you. Beautiful day today, even if a tad warm.

  5. Today feels really nice compared to yesterday. The summer daylight without too much humidity is much appreciated. I am NOT an artist, but I have a fondness for seasonal daylight changes. I can usually tell from a picture what month of the year it was, just by looking at the light. It’s very distinctive in Boston, unlike, say, San Diego or Miami where it’s mostly the same year-round. Obviously, such changes are a function of the positioning of the sun relative to our spot on the globe, but also humidity and temperature levels. I find April and October daylight to be the most art-inspiring.

    TK, my email address has changed, which may impact my ability to post. The new email address is: joshua.parsons.cohen@gmail.com

    1. A noticeable dip in the dewpoint today. Still hot though with more direct sun than yesterday’s thick haze and high clouds

    2. I’ll keep an eye out in case something goes into moderation. I’ll approve as soon as possible if that’s the case.

  7. NAM has been suffering convective feedback for about 24 hours. Model indigestion. 😛

    1. Is that like eating and/or drinking too much?
      If so, I suffer from that all of the time. 😀

  8. Thanks TK. I don’t see any reason to doubt your forecast above. Tomorrow’s a beauty. Sunday looks dry as well, likely more clouds and a little cooler. Monday looks like the only day with a high rain chance, but leftover clouds and a few showers possible Tuesday. Not very summerlike days there. Behind that, it looks mostly seasonable through the end of the month. We remain in an up and down pattern. I’ve been a little surprised with the heat this week. It’s not a “heat dome” pattern, it’s the northwest flow regime which TK predicted some time ago. Those patterns can be warm, but to crank out a heat wave like this, which continues into tomorrow, is impressive. This has been an interesting summer. Lots of back and forth.

        1. Logan has reached or exceeded 90 on 11 days so far. If they get it today (Saturday) it will be 12.

  10. You’ll find a new blog update in your Christmas-in-July stocking when you wake up.
