Weekend Outlook: August 7-10, 2026

This is going to be one of the shortest and easiest to write forecasts we’ve ever done.

A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of the region into Friday. Image provided by the National Weather Service office in Norton, MA.

A Bermuda High will remain anchored off the East Coast through the weekend and into early next week. That will result in very warm to hot and humid conditions with a daily chance for showers and thunderstorms. It won’t be as hot as the heat wave we had in early July, but it will be quite humid, so the heat index will remain uncomfortable. We’re not expecting widespread severe weather, but some of the thunderstorms that pop up each afternoon could produce heavy downpours and gusty winds.

Dewpoints will remain in the upper 60s to middle 70s through much of the weekend. Loop provided by Weathermodels.com
