DAYS 1-5 (JULY 14-18)
Just a quick later-than-usual update today. Warm front approaches today, passes tonight, followed by a cold front Sunday. Not looking for widespread showers/storms with either, and they will favor areas to the west and southwest of Boston. Sunday’s activity may be helped by a South Coast sea breeze boundary as well. Next round of showers/storms is due Tuesday to early Wednesday from a stronger front bumping into warm/humid air in place. Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 73-78 coast, 78-83 interior. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Lows 61-68. Wind SE 5-15 MPH shifting to SW.
SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs 75-80 coast, 80-85 interior. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except some 70s South Coast.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers/thunderstorms, especially afternoon and night. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except some 70s South Coast.
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers, mainly in the morning. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 19-23)
Fair and pleasant July 19. Humidity increases as does the possibility of showers and thunderstorms during the remainder of the period, but don’t read this as a wet pattern, just more of typical summertime.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 24-28)
Large scale pattern will feature high pressure ridge western US, low pressure trough upper Midwest to Great Lakes, and high pressure over the western Atlantic. This pattern, though not too wet, is not absent of shower and thunderstorm opportunities from time to time, along with fairly dominant warm to hot weather and humidity.

  11. 12th!

    Thank you, TK. Hope you feel better.

    Post-tropical storm (remnants of Chris) dumped over 3 inches of rain on St. John’s, Newfoundland, with 65 mph wind gusts. Southeastern coastal NF had gusts over 75 mph. The storm is near Iceland now, behaving almost like an autumnal or winter Atlantic storm. It’ll probably be steered well north of densely inhabited Europe by a stubbornly strong high pressure area, as must of northwestern Europe has been experiencing a prolonged warm spell with very little precipitation. I’ve counted 20 days out of the last 50 that London was warmer than Boston. That’s remarkable for London. I spent 10 days in London in the summer of 1989 and it was this hot. Not comfortable in a place that at the time had very little AC.

    1. That’s (20 out of 50) quite noteworthy, considering that Boston has been warm to hot the last 2 weeks and was average in June, with many days in the 70s.

    1. I don’t think we count replies. And I didn’t count JPD more than once. How does this work anyway. MassBay?????

      1. You have come to the right place. You can be 11th (or 7th), or whatever # you are counting, by either of two counts:

        11th response
        or
        11th responder

        It can be very exciting counting these up. 🙂

        One of my favorite characters on the Muppets was, of course, The Count 🙂

        1. ps replies are counted as responses.

          I am not sure who made these up, but these are, in fact, the rules for the count.

          1. Hahahahahaha. Thank you. I do feel a lot better knowing the rules. I am a stickler for rules 😉 😉

  13. This is probably our last top 10 day for awhile, if not the rest of the month. We will see.

  14. Western Europe is like the US Pacific Northwest. When the pattern is hot, it’s hot and because they are so marine influenced so often, the heat stands out like a sore thumb. I was going to bring up 1989. It also happened a few times in the 1990s, and one of them (forget which year) lasted weeks and weeks. The ridge just sat there as an almost semi-permanent feature.

  15. I HATE VERIZON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)@*(@*#()!&@()#&*)!@&#*(&!@(*#

    Those good for nothing pieces of horse excrement were here this morning, 6 of them in all to string 2 75 foot sections of fiber optic cable for Fios. 6 guys and 2 hours later,
    the job was done. But it gets worse, in the process these 1/2 wits managed to take
    down my Verizon Land line phone service!

    I called it in and was told it was a problem with the network (no shit!)
    AND get this, a promise of service restoration BY 5PM on July 20th!!!!!

    Nice!!

    What a company and what wonderful service!!

    1. I just went out and checked the lines. It looks like they CUT the
      lines to both units for the house. HOW could they do that??????

    2. I am not a huge fan of verizon but Comcast and charter are WAYYYYY worse.

      I know of a lot of folks who have changed to other things and am thinking of it

  16. I am so rooting for the GFS to pan out when I am down in Virginia Wednesday and Thursday. Highs up in the 80s dew points upper 50s to around 60. At least no 100 degree heat like last year when I went.
