Saturday Forecast

DAYS 1-5 (JULY 22-26)
This update shows no major changes but will make some adjustments. Essentially a good weekend. The interruption will come as the remains of a thunderstorm complex passes south of the region early Sunday when some rain may get into the South Coast region briefly. We’ll have to deal with a mixture of some high cloudiness and some smoke from distant fires in western Canada which will filter and blot out the sun at times today, but now expecting enough dry air to push in from the north to allow for more sun on Sunday than previously expected, though it will still be a cooler day than Saturday because of a northerly to easterly air flow. Monday looks like the wet day as low pressure makes a more direct run at the region, but timing of the onset of the rain is uncertain. Leaning toward a wetter afternoon than morning at this point. This system will slowly exit on Tuesday and high pressure will return with nice summer weather by Wednesday.
TODAY: Limited sun morning, more sun afternoon. Highs 77-84 South Coast, 85-91 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 62-70, warmest urban areas. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy early with a risk of rain briefly along the South Coast, then partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs 75-80 coast, 80-85 interior. Wind light variable then NE to E 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain, favoring the afternoon and night. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers, favoring the morning. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s, some 70s South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 27-31)
Higher humidity and a shower/thunderstorm risk at times July 27-29 then generally warm/dry weather expected for the final days of July.

DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 1-5)
Another frontal system the first couple days of August should bring a thunderstorm risk otherwise mainly dry and normally warm and somewhat humid summer weather is expected.

  6. I made one adjustment to the sky cover today. The smoke and high cloud plume I expected to be just to the north is a little wider and further south than I expected. Thank you jet stream ripple. 😛

      1. Shiver me timbers!
        Batten the hatches!
        Three sheets to the wind!
        Splice the mainbrace!
        Son of a biscuit eater!

          1. I have not heard the last. Marrying into a Scottish sailing family…..I know the second to last 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

              1. The mainbrace order was given to allow crew to have its daily ration …usually rum if I recall. I did look up the other and it has some ….errrrr, interesting….meanings. I leave that one to TK 🙂

            2. “Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum… Drink and the devil had done for the rest, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!”

  8. Sun breaking through now. If the individual who took the breeze earlier this week would please return it again, I’d sure be grateful.

  11. Though I would not rule it out, it’s becoming less likely that Boston will get their 12th 90-degree day today, sitting at 82 as of 2PM with a wind off the water. I don’t think there’s enough gradient left to get the wind west again long enough to shoot them up, even if there was more sun than there has been.

  13. We made 86 for a high in Wrentham today. It was a real struggle with the cloud cover though. Still a warm day, but it just stands out since we’ve been hitting 90 so effortlessly the past few days in the same pattern.

  14. I can attest to no hurricane off the Atlantic coast. I’m currently sitting right on the intercostal in a boat trying to catch a flounder off North Topsail Beach, NC. Sw wind at 10, 84 degrees, 74 degree dew point, not a cloud in the sky.

  16. Reporting from Hampton beach cloudy with a breeze. It was sunny & hot when we arrived around 2:30.

  17. Where did this freakin dew point come from? Up to 67 here and I can’t STAND IT ANYMORE)(!&*@#(&!*@&#*(!&@#&*(!@&#(*!&@(*#&!*(@#&!(*@#&*(!&@#*

      1. Boston JUST missed a batch of steady rain but has shunted south and east. A few drops but no real dampness of the ground that I could tell.

    2. the west and south, the drier air is up in northern and central new england, its very sticky here on the island as well.

      1. Based on 9:00 pm obs. with the exception of Burlington VT, Bangor ME and Mt. Washington all other northern stations still have sticky dewpoints.
