Cooler and drier weather moves in to start the week, but heat and humidity will make a return appearance for the Fourth of July.

High pressure builds in to start the week with lower humidity and cooler temperatures. An upper-level disturbance will also move in, generating some clouds, and possibly a few pop-up showers. With the high building in for Tuesday and Wednesday we’ll have more sunshine, seasonably warm temperatures and comfortable humidity levels. A weak front will approach Wednesday night, with a few showers possible, but the front likely stalls out and washes out without moving through the region. Very warm and increasingly humid conditions are expected from the Fourth of July into the weekend. A few showers and thunderstorms are possible each afternoon, especially Friday and Saturday.

Monday: Partly sunny, chance for a pop-up shower or two, not as humid. High 72-79.
Monday night: Becoming clear. Low 57-64.
Tuesday: Lots of sunshine. High 78-85.
Tuesday night: Partly cloudy. Low 58-65.
Wednesday: A mix of sun and clouds, chance for a few showers at night. High 79-86.
Fourth of July: Chance for a morning shower, otherwise partly sunny and becoming humid. High 83-90, a little cooler near the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, chance for a late-day shower or thunderstorm. High 83-90, a little cooler along the coast.
Saturday: Intervals of clouds and sun, chance for some late-day showers or thunderstorms. High 84-91, a little cooler along the coast.
Sunday: A mix of sun and clouds, slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm. High 85-92, a little cooler along the coast.
