DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 8-12)
Other than some high cloudiness across southern areas this weekend, high pressure will be in control with plenty of sun and fairly warm conditions with low humidity, making it about as nice a June weekend as you can have. Of course with the ocean water still chilly at this point in the season, coastal areas will be vulnerable to cooling sea breezes, especially today. Low pressure will pass north of New England early Tuesday, but will drag its warm front / cold front combination through the region Monday night and Tuesday, with unsettled weather. High pressure builds back in for fair weather Wednesday.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny but some filtered sun through high clouds to the south. Highs 75-82, cooler some coastal areas. Wind light variable to NW but coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 52-59. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny, but again sun filtered through high cloudiness especially to the south. Highs 77-84, cooler in some coastal areas especially Cape Cod. Wind variable to W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-62. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 75-82, coolest coast. Wind light variable to SE.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. More humid. Lows 58-65. Wind light SE.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely, especially morning and midday. Humid. Highs 72-79. Wind S 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 54-61. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 13-17)
Low pressure brings a chance of rain or showers June 13 with cooler air as well. Westerly flow, drier and warmer weather arrives June 14. The June 15-17 period will feature high pressure both north and south of the region with a boundary between. Where this boundary sets up will determine the weather here. Leaning toward the warmer side of it now but along with a couple of shower/t-storm opportunities.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 18-22)
A generally zonal (west to east) jet stream pattern with mean ridge of high pressure centered west of New England. This pattern sends a few chances of showers/thunderstorms this way but also brings fair and seasonably warm weather in between.

  5. Thank you TK. What a day

    I’m spending time with granddaughters They had ice cream for dessert and while eating the ice creaM truck came by. Nanas cannot say no. 🙂

  6. happy worlds ocean day and what a gem of a day to go and enjoy it. Went out this morning to look for horse shoe crabs with some friends who are working on a project.

    1. I’ll probably go ocean-side for a few tomorrow (a day late) either Plymouth MA or Hampton Beach NH (TBD). Today I’m inland, minor outdoor projects around home then Foxboro Founders Day this evening which of course includes fireworks. 🙂

      1. I woke up at 3am and I was on a series of beaches looking for them. I am now back home. They are most active on the beach May/June and they move up on the beach and the shallows at night to avoid predators.

        1. They used to be everywhere along with starfish when I was young. And sand dollars. Sadly, they are rare now

          1. Starfish and sand dollars are now rare due to wasting disease which impacts shallow water species. No one entirely knows what has lead to these disease it impacted New England waters back in 1999 and again in 2014. The 2014 event was extreme. Many have linked to increased pollution and the rapid change in ocean temperatures. Most coastal species decreased by 65-90% deeper water species were less impacted and are showing quicker recovery. The shallow ones are less so and is why we have seen a major increase of the periwinkles and mussels in the rocky inter-tidal zone. Its also possibly why the asian shore crab ( an invasive that moved in during the 90s) could get such a foot hold.

            2. Thank you, Matt. I always wondered. Sand pipers and turns disappeared for a while too but seem to be returning. I hope. I remember sitting on the beach with my dad being mesmerized just watching the little sand pipers.

              1. The terns have SAnd pipers have been devestated by domestic animals, increase in raccons and foxes. Both the terns and the pipers have lost major areas of nesting grounds due to development and rising sea levels over taking the nesting grounds.

                1. It is very sad. I have seen more pipers and I think man is trying to help. And I think I’m seeing terns but it’s been so long I can’t be sure. Tons or kormorants that I don’t recall seeing years ago.

                2. Vicki there are attempts at several Islands and coastal communities to create water fowl friendly roofs allowing some birds to use roof tops as nesting sites for those that like elevated locations along the ocean.

      1. Hahahaha. How fitting.

        My oldest showed me the little yellow sacs on the tips of one of her pine trees. She said you can watch them explode

    1. I read part and it is fascinating. Keith, I Think, would be interested also as a ham radio operator. Thank you. I have bookmarked and will read in depth
