A Blemish In The Forecast

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Stellar stretch. Glorious sunshine, mild temps, refreshing breeze.

What could go wrong?

Well if you let the northeast wind sit for long enough, eventually it might scare up some clouds. We are and it will. These are low clouds and fog, and this time of year, they're selective and sneaky. I'm not thinking they'll foil up the forecast for the entire weekend - nor will they REALLY be that much of a nuisance. BUT they will tarnish and otherwise picture perfect stretch of weather.

When will they arrive on our shores? Not until late tomorrow - or even tomorrow night. They'll back off on Sunday, only to return on Monday morning. It will take a determined wind from the southwest to heave them offshore for good. And that's in the cards too.

Enter Tuesday and Wednesday. Not only will the wind turn into the southwest, but it will pump up the volume of heat too. Highs will take off on Tuesday and jump to near 90 in spots. But that's not all. Wednesday - Friday the steam heat will sizzle New England. Highs will reach into the 90s for three consecutive days - officially defining a heat wave in New England!

Until then, enjoy the temperate readings and watch for motorcycles and pedestrians this weekend.

And happy Father's Day to the dads!

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.
