Heat and humidity will return this week, but not to the extent that we experienced recently.

High pressure slides offshore today, with increasing temperatures and humidity levels. A pop-up shower or thunderstorm can’t be ruled out, but they’ll be few and far between. Tuesday looks even hotter, except along the South Coast and Cape Cod, with southwest winds act as a seabreeze. A cold front moves through early Wednesday with little fanfare, but it will bring some drier air into the region. It will remain hot, and with northwest winds, the heat will get all the way down to the South Coast. Another front moves through on Thursday, possibly producing a shower or thunderstorm, but most places will remain dry, which means we don’t get much drought relief. Cooler air settles in for Friday. The weekend is a bit uncertain at this point. A low pressure system may move out of the Great Lakes and towards New England with some showers and thunderstorms at some point, but the timing, and whether the system even materializes, is still a question.
