Starting Off Bright

Posted by Chris Lambert

The new workweek starts off with a change of skies as Sunday's clouds have moved out to sea and sunshine starts our day.   There is enough instability around to pop up fair weather clouds this afternoon, but the moisture is limited, so no rain is expected.  With an onshore breeze, mostly sunny skies prevail at the coast as those fair weather clouds drift inland.  Highs today range from the mid 70s at the coast to near 80 inland.

Tomorrow is similar, however, more clouds fill in, even at the coast, late in the afternoon as an area of low pressure off the Carolina coastline moves north.  Right now, most of the rain stays offshore, but it's not out of the question that some of these rain showers move into southeast Mass near day's end, or in the evening.

Wednesday and beyond...  the general forecast is to have disturbances move into New England from the northwest.  That provides us with the opportunity for pop-up showers and storms each day.  No one day stands out as a washout, so if it's your vaca week, I wouldn't get too down on the rain drops on the 7day forecast.  We'll still have plenty of dry stretches through those days, especially in the morning hours, just keep an eye to the sky in the afternoon. 

More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

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.
