Pardon the delay in updating today. Several issues prevented me from getting here when I planned to. Hope everybody is having a great day!
The front that moved into the region is sitting across southern New England with warm/muggy air over far southern areas and mild but still humid air just to the north. This will fuel a few showers and thunderstorms through evening, with most thunder activity to the south (RI and southeastern MA), with mostly just showers to the north where the air is more stable. This setup will be similar into Saturday though the front will sag more to the south with time, and also into Sunday when the front should be just offshore and a wave of low pressure ripples along it. Although the weekend will not be a wash-out, it looks unsettled.
Early next week, a break comes for the final 2 days of July. As August begins the middle of next week, it looks like we enter a pattern of humidity, showers, and thunderstorms.
Updated forecast for eastern MA, southern NH, and RI…
