DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 24-28)
High pressure aloft will dominate the weather for the next several days. Weakening surface boundaries will try to get close to the region starting late in the weekend but they only bring remote risks for a few showers and thunderstorms as heat and humidity will be back in the picture by then. I hesitate to even put them in the forecast but will, just in case. Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunshine filtered by high altitude smoke at first then becoming brighter. Highs 76-84, coolest coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 50-56 interior areas with coolest in the valleys to 56-62 elsewhere with mildest in urban areas. Wind light variable to SW.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-86, coolest South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 58-64. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Slightly more humid. Remote risk of a weakening shower far northwest of Boston by evening. Highs 75-80 immediate shores and Cape Cod, 81-88 elsewhere. Wind light SW to S with sea breezes.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Humid. Remote risk of isolated thunderstorm mainly far inland. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the lower 80s to lower 90s, coolest South Coast.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Humid. Slight risk of isolated thunderstorms interior late day. Lows from the middle 60s to lower 70s. Highs from the upper 80s to middle 90s but cooler some coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 29-SEPTEMBER 2)
High pressure aloft will be in control with more heat during much of this period, including some higher humidity as well. A couple disturbances passing north of the region will be close enough to trigger shower and thunderstorm chances and if high pressure in eastern Canada is strong enough it may help get one of those boundaries through here with a bit of a cool-down later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 3-7)
General pattern remains the same but will have to watch for a quick cooler interlude of high pressure moving across Canada noses southward far enough. That may also mean we’ll be close to a surface boundary and may experience a higher risk of some shower and thunderstorm activity at times.

  5. Thanks TK
    I hope I am right but I am probably wrong but I hope next week will be summer’s last stand in terms of big time heat and humidity.

      1. I wouldn’t be surprised if HHH continues through mid-October. It did last year. Columbus Day itself was quite hot.

        1. Shift in seasons. It has been occurring for years. Although, I thought last year was a bit closer to what if once was…..the exception now, rather than the rule.

  6. Summer never goes quietly and will probably have a blast of heat around or just after fall starts. To me once you get past September 10th the heat and humidity don’t have the staying power like it does in June July and August. Its just like when March comes where the cold doesn’t have staying power and when it snows it doesn’t last too long.

  8. Sad sad news. John McCain has discontinued cancer treatment. The man is a hero top to bottom. God bless him.

  9. I know from experience that discontinuing cancer treatment is a death sentence. He has fought his entire life.

      1. I have not always agreed with him politically, though I thought he was decent overall. I greatly admire and respect the service he’s given to this country. It’s sad what he is going through, but he seems to be at peace with this decision.

        1. I have not always agreed either although I may have voted for him had he not picked Palin. However, in the past two years he has stood where few others and I admired that more than most in Washington. He is a true American inside and out IMO.

          I think in many cases when you choose to end treatment you are indeed at peace with the decision

  13. patriots, offense needs someone like oh I don’t know, maybe amondola or cooks, you know the cooks that was just building chemistry with Brady.
