Lots of changes coming up this weekend, but the humidity will probably hang around.
It will feel like it is near or over 100 degrees Friday afternoon. Image provided by WeatherBell.
High pressure settles offshore, keeping us on the warm and humid side. In fact, Friday will be downright hot with many places away from the South Coast getting into the 90s. When you factor the humidity it, it may feel like it is close to or a little over 100 in the afternoon. However, we’ll also see clouds moving in ahead of a cold front. That front will trigger some showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. We’re not expecting widespread severe weather, but some of the storms could produce gusty winds and heavy downpours. The front settles offshore before stalling out, with somewhat cooler and drier air moving in for Saturday. By somewhat, we mean temperatures in the 80s instead of 90s, and dewpoints in the upper 50s and lower 60s instead of upper 60s and lower 70s. So, it’ll be a typical summer day across the region. Sunday may not be as nice. A wave of low pressure will ride along the front and bring the humidity back in, along with the possibility some showers and thunderstorms, mostly during the afternoon and evening. However, some models keep the showers offshore, so we may end up with a decent day. High pressure returns for Monday with sunshine, warmer temperatures, and moderate humidity levels.
Will Sunday be wet or dry? It depends on which model you trust. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Thursday night: Clear skies. Low 66-73.
Friday: Some morning sun, then clouds move in with some showers and thunderstorms likely during the afternoon. High 88-95, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Friday night: Showers and thunderstorms ending in the evening, becoming clear to partly cloudy after midnight. Low 63-70.
Saturday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 80-87, a little cooler near the coast.
Saturday night: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy. Low 60-67.
Sunday: More clouds than sunshine, showers and thunderstorms may develop in the afternoon. High 75-82.
Sunday night: Cloudy with any showers and thunderstorms ending during the evening, becoming partly cloudy late at night. Low 62-69.
Monday: Becoming mostly sunny. High 84-91, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Humidity remains in place for several more days this week, but the heat will also make a comeback.
Dewpoints will get well into the 70s by midweek. Image provided by weathermodels.com
High pressure remains off to our southeast today, with a trough of low pressure moving toward the region. The result will be southwest winds bringing very warm and humid air into the region. As the trough gets nearer, we’ll see some showers and thunderstorms moving in late in the day and into the evening hours. While there could be a few strong storms, the timing will likely be a little too late in the day for any widespread severe weather. However, any storms that do form will likely be fairly slow-moving, so they could dump a lot of rain in localized areas, which could result in some flash flooding in spots. Now this won’t be like what we’ve see in Texas recently, and it probably won’t be as bad as we say south of Boston this past Thursday morning, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’ll be out and about this evening.
Thunderstorms may cross the region late this afternoon and evening. Loop provided by weathermodels.com
Some of the showers could linger into Tuesday morning across parts of eastern and southeastern Massachusetts until the trough moves offshore, but once it does, humidity levels won’t drop much, if at all, and we set the stage for some hot weather to return. Once the sun breaks out on Tuesday, temperatures should get well into the 80s, with dewpoints in the 60s, resulting in a heat index likely reaching the lower 90s in many spots in the afternoon. The heat and humidity really return for Wednesday and Thursday, with many locations getting near or above 90 degrees, but with dewpoints creeping up even higher, the heat index may approach or exceed 100 each afternoon. A couple of widely scattered showers and thunderstorms may provide a little relief on Wednesday, with coverage or showers and storms expanding a bit more on Thursday. Again, some of these storms could be slow-moving, so localized flash flooding is possible.
The heat index will get well into the 90s Wednesday afternoon. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Friday is the day with the biggest question marks at this point. A cold front will be heading towards the region, with very warm and very humid air remaining in place ahead of it. The question is – how warm? Some models give us enough sunshine to allow temperatures to get near or above 90 once again, others have enough cloudcover to keep us in the 80s. As the front moves in, showers and thunderstorms are likely. The timing of the front and the amount of sunshine we get will help determine whether we can expect any severe weather or not. High pressure builds in with cooler and drier weather for Saturday. Another system could start to move in by later Sunday, but it also could hold off until Sunday night or Monday. We’ll have a better idea of what to expect from that when we get to our Weekend Outlook, which will be published on Wednesday this week instead of Thursday.
Will Sunday be wet or stay dry? It’s too early to tell. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
We’re also keeping an eye on the tropics. An area of disturbed weather currently off the Southeast coast is expected to drift towards northern Florida over the next few days, bringing some heavy rain to parts of the Sunshine State. After that, it should continue westward and into the northeastern Gulf. Some models show the potential for the system to develop as it moves westward across the northern Gulf, others don’t do much with it. Water temperatures are plenty warm, so that won’t be a factor. This is something we’ll be keeping an eye on over the next several days.
There is a chance a system could develop in the northern Gulf later this week. Image provided by the National Hurricane Center.
Monday: Some low clouds and fog early, then becoming partly sunny, humid, showers and thunderstorms possible late in the day. High 80-87, a little cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Monday night: Any lingering showers or storms end in the evening, remaining partly to mostly cloudy with another shower or two and some patchy fog possible. Low 66-73.
Tuesday: Morning clouds, maybe a shower or two across southeastern Massachusetts, then becoming partly to mostly sunny, still humid. High 83-90, a little cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Tuesday night: Partly cloudy. Low 65-72.
Wednesday: A mix of sun and clouds, very humid, slight chance for a pop-up shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon. High 86-93, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Wednesday night: Partly to mostly cloudy and muggy with some patchy fog. Low 68-75.
Thursday: Partly sunny and quite humid, some afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms possible, breezy in the afternoon. High 84-91, a little cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy, muggy. Low 69-76.
Friday: Partly sunny and humid with showers and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon, ending in the evening. High 86-93.
Saturday: A mix of sun and clouds, not as humid. High 78-85.
Sunday: Intervals of clouds and sun, chance for late-day showers and thunderstorms. High 79-86.
Heat and humidity remain in place to start the week, but they won’t last too long.
The heat index will be in the lower to middle 90s again this afternoon. Image provided by WeatherBell.
High pressure sits offshore today while a cold front begins to approach from the west. That’s a recipe for hot and humid conditions across our region today. We could see a few showers and thunderstorms pop up during the afternoon, but they should not be widespread. Tuesday is the transition day, though it will be very warm to hot and quite humid once again. Across parts of southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod there is the potential for some heavy downpours early in the day as what’s left of Tropical Storm Chantal moves past the area. Later, that cold front will move across the region, resulting in more widespread showers and thunderstorms, a few of which could be strong to severe across the interior.
A few showers and storms are possible today, but they are more likely late Tuesday into Tuesday evening. Loop provided by Weathermodels.com
The front settles south of the region, but likely remains close enough for plenty of clouds on Wednesday with cooler temperatures and possibly a few showers as well. A wave of low pressure riding along the front brings in more showers for Thursday. For Friday, a few lingering showers are possible, but some drier air will start to move in as high pressure starts to build in across southeastern Canada. Saturday should be mostly dry, but with an upper level low pressure area moving through we’ll see some clouds and possibly a shower or two in the afternoon. High pressure should move offshore for Sunday with dry and warmer weather expected.
A few models show the potential for heavy rain near the South Coast Thursday, but many show nothing more than scattered showers. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Monday: Partly sunny, breezy, quite humid, chance for a few showers or thunderstorms. High 85-92, a little cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Monday night: Partly to mostly cloudy with areas of fog, some rain possible across southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod after midnight. Low 67-74.
Tuesday: A mix of sun and clouds, humid, showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon, a few could be strong. High 85-92, cooler across Cape Cod.
Tuesday night: Mostly cloudy, showers and storms taper off fog redevelops. Low 64-71.
Wednesday: Partly to mostly cloudy, a shower or two is possible, cooler. High 75-82.
Wednesday night: Plenty of clouds, some showers possible after midnight, mainly near the South Coast. Low 61-68.
Thursday: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers. High 74-81.
Thursday night: Cloudy with more showers. Low 60-67.
Friday: Mostly cloudy, a few more showers, mainly in the morning, some sunny breaks possible in the afternoon. High 72-79.
Saturday: Becoming partly sunny, slight chance for a pop-up shower. High 75-82.
Sunday: Intervals of clouds and sunshine. High 77-84.
As we reach the halfway point of the year, we also have Canada Day and Independence Day this week, so whichever you celebrate, enjoy as we’ll have some typical summertime weather for much of the upcoming week.
Canada and the United States will both be celebrating birthdays this week.
We start the week off with high pressure offshore resulting in a very warm to hot day today with increasing humidity levels as winds shift into the southwest. Tuesday looks like another warm and very humid day with dewpoints getting well into the 70s, but with an approaching cold front, we’ll see clouds and probably two rounds of showers and thunderstorms. The first batch likely moves through during the morning hours, but it’s the second batch that we’re keeping an eye on. The potential exists for some of the storms to become strong to severe, but that will depend on several factors. If we can get any sunshine after the first batch of storms, it will help to destabilize the atmosphere, whereas if it stays cloudy and thus cooler, the cold front will just produce some showers with only a few rumbles of thunder. We are expecting some sunshine to develop, so the other important factor is the timing of the front. A front that arrives late afternoon, during the maximum heating of the day will be more likely to produce severe weather than a front that arrives during the evening, when we are past the max heating of the day. Any storms that do form could produce heavy downpours and strong winds.
We’re looking at two rounds of thunderstorms on Tuesday. Loop provided by Weathermodels.com
Behind the front, high pressure builds back in with drier and more seasonable conditions for Wednesday and Thursday as highs will be mainly in the 80s, with dewpoints dropping into the 50s and lower 60s. Another disturbance may trigger a few showers and thunderstorms late Thursday, but high pressure returns for the Fourth of July and into Saturday with some spectacular summer weather, which shouldn’t cause any problems for any outdoor holiday celebrations. Another system could move in for Sunday, but that’s far from certain at this point.
Right now the weather for the Fourth looks picture perfect. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Monday: Some morning fog, otherwise partly to mostly sunny, humid. High 84-91, cooler along the coast and across Cape Cod.
Monday night: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy with fog redeveloping, especially along the coast. Some showers and thunderstorms are possible towards daybreak. Low 63-70.
Tuesday: Some showers and thunderstorms possible early, then intervals of clouds and sunshine, showers and thunderstorms may redevelop late in the day, breezy, very humid. High 82-89, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Tuesday night: Showers and thunderstorms ending, some clearing after midnight. Low 64-71.
Wednesday: Becoming mostly sunny, less humid. High 81-88.
Wednesday night: Clear skies. Low 61-68.
Thursday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds, chance for a late-day shower or thunderstorm. High 83-90, cooler across Cape Cod.
Thursday night: Chance for a shower or thunderstorm in the evening, otherwise becoming clear to partly cloudy. Low 59-66.
Friday: Mostly sunny, drier. High 76-83.
Saturday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 79-86.
Sunday: Partly sunny, more humid, breezy, chance for a few showers or thunderstorms. High 86-93, cooler across Cape Cod.
We’ve got a fairly complicated forecast for the final days of Spring and initial days of Summer.
The heat index will reach the middle to upper 90s across much of the region on Thursday. Image provided by WeatherBell.
A warm and humid airmass has settled into the region, and it will be here into Thursday. We’ll have plenty of clouds through the evening with a few showers and possibly a rumble of thunder as a weak disturbance moves across the region. These showers should end before midnight, then we’ll see some fog developing. Once the fog burns off Thursday morning a hot and humid day is expected under partly to mostly sunny skies. Gusty southwest winds will help send temperatures into the upper 80s and lower 90s in much of the region, except along the South Coast and Cape Cod, where winds off the water will keep temperatures a little cooler. Dewpoints well get into the 60s and lower 70s, resulting in the heat index reaching the middle to upper 90s in many areas. A Heat Advisory has been issued for parts of the region as a result.
Severe weather is possible in the Northeast Thursday with damaging winds the greatest threat. Image provided by Pivotal Weather.
A cold front will move across the region late in the day, triggering some showers and thunderstorms during the late afternoon and evening. A few of these storms may produce strong winds, heavy downpours and some hail, but it looks like the best chance for severe storms will be off to our west. If the front were to move in a little faster than we currently expect, the odds for severe weather would rise, since it would be arriving around the time of maximum heating. Behind the front, drier air settles in for Friday, and while it won’t be as hot, it will still be quite warm. As we get to Saturday, it looks like we will finally break our streak of wet Saturdays with sunshine, mild temperatures, and lower humidity, but that doesn’t mean the entire weekend will be dry.
A cluster of thunderstorms could rumble across the region before daybreak Sunday, Loop provided by Tropical Tidbits.
Forecast models have been showing the potential for a cluster of potent thunderstorms to develop across the Northern Plains Friday evening which would then race across the Northern Great Lakes on Saturday before diving into New England after midnight Saturday night. While they should be weakening by the time they get here, don’t be surprised if you’re awakened early Sunday morning by frequent lightning and some heavy downpours. Once those storms move offshore, skies will become partly to mostly sunny again with another dry and warm day expected. Things change again by Monday. A ridge of high pressure will start to build in, resulting in heat and humidity returning on Monday, and possibly for at least a few more days beyond that heading into next week. We’ll have more on that in our Weekly Outlook early Monday morning.
The first half of next week could be quite toasty around here. Image provided by weathermodels.com
Wednesday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, chance for a few showers during the evening, areas of fog develop overnight, muggy. Low 61-68.
Thursday: Becoming mostly sunny, hot, and humid, showers and thunderstorms possible late in the day, breezy. High 87-94, cooler along the South Coast and across Cape Cod.
Thursday night: Showers and thunderstorms expected during the evening, clearing overnight, breezy. Low 61-68.
Friday: Sunshine and a few clouds, not as humid, still breezy. High 76-83.
Friday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 58-65.
Saturday: Sunshine with some afternoon clouds. High 80-87, cooler across Cape Cod.
Saturday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, showers and thunderstorms possible after midnight. Low 61-68.
Sunday: Showers and storms end early, then a mix of sun and clouds. High 81-88, cooler across Cape Cod.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 63-70.

Someone call Ripley, because Believe It or Not, there’s rain in the forecast for part of the weekend.
More rain is expected for parts of the region Friday and Saturday. Image provided by WeatherBell.
After a hot and somewhat humid day today, changes are on the way as a slow-moving cold front makes its way toward the region. We’ll see clouds become more numerous tonight and Friday, with some showers and thunderstorms likely on Friday, especially in the afternoon, and mainly north of the Mass Pike. Some of these storms may produce strong winds and heavy rain which could lead to areas of flooding, so if you’ve got outdoor plans, keep an eye on the radar. It’ll still be quite warm and humid, but not as hot as today.
Some severe storms are possible on Friday, especially across the interior. Image provided by the Storm Prediction Center.
The cold front finally moves through on Saturday, accompanied by some additional showers, but they shouldn’t be that heavy. They’ll also be accompanied by cooler temperatures behind the front. Sunday will be the pick of the weekend as high pressure builds in with more comfortable conditions, though there will still be some clouds around as an upper-level disturbance crosses the region. We also have more smoke from Canadian wildfires drifting in on Sunday, resulting in hazy skies at times. Monday is a little uncertain at the moment. Many of the models had been showing high pressure remaining in control with a weak low pressure system passing well to the south, but some of those models are bringing the system a lot farther northward now, possibly bringing in more showers on Monday. We’re going to be cautiously optimistic for now that it should remain mostly dry, but with low confidence.
Will high pressure or low pressure be in control on Monday? Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Thursday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, a few showers or thunderstorms possible during the evening. Low 61-68.
Friday: Some morning sun, otherwise becoming mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms developing, some could produce heavy downpours and strong winds. High 78-85, cooler along the coast.
Friday night: Mostly cloudy, showers and thunderstorms wind down before midnight. Low 57-64.
Saturday: Plenty of clouds with more showers likely. High 70-77.
Saturday night: Any lingering showers end in the evening, then becoming partly cloudy. Low 54-61.
Sunday: Intervals of clouds and hazy sunshine. High 70-77, cooler across Cape Cod.
The final week of August could feature some active weather, but Labor Day weekend may not be that bad.
Temperatures could get well into the 80s around here on Wednesday. Image provided by WeatherBell.
We start the week off with what could be a very active day. A weak system will move across the region today, but with a warm and humid airmass present, and some cooler air aloft thanks to a nearby upper-level low pressure system, we’ve got the ingredients in place for showers and thunderstorms, some of which could be strong to severe this afternoon. Activity should begin to develop towards midday, and become more widespread and potent as it gets into our region. Some of the storms that develop could produce strong to damaging winds, hail, and heavy downpours. Once we get past sunset, activity should diminish and dissipate.
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening. Image provided by the Storm Prediction Center.
High pressure briefly builds in for Tuesday with some sunshine and mild temperatures, but it won’t last too long. Another cold front moves in on Wednesday. How warm we get will depend on the timing of the front, but the potential exists for a very warm and humid day, if the front holds off long enough. The front will be accompanied by showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms could be strong, again depending on the timing of the front.
Another round of severe storms is possible on Wednesday. Image provided by the Storm Prediction Center.
Once that front moves through, high pressure builds in with cooler and drier weather for Thursday and Friday. Another system will move in during the weekend with a few showers and thunderstorms possible late Saturday or early Sunday. Behind that front, high pressure returns with sunshine and warm temperatures later Sunday and Labor Day. Another cold front may move in late in the day on Labor Day, with a few showers or thunderstorms possible, but don’t go cancelling any plans just yet. We’ll have a better idea on the timing of that front when we get to our Weekend Outlook on Thursday.
Showers and thunderstorms could move in late Saturday or wait until Saturday night – the models don’t agree on the timing right now. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Monday: A little fog early, otherwise some morning sun, then clouds move in with showers and thunderstorms develop, some could be strong to severe. High 74-81.
Monday night: Showers and storms end in the evening, becoming partly cloudy, patchy fog develops. Low 57-64.
Tuesday: Partly to mostly sunny. High 77-84.
Tuesday night: Clear during the evening, some clouds move in after midnight, showers possible toward daybreak. Low 61-68.
Wednesday: Mostly cloudy and humid with showers and thunderstorms likely. High 82-89.
Thursday: Morning clouds, then gradual clearing and less humid. High 68-75.
Friday: Partly to mostly sunny. High 69-76.
Saturday: More clouds than sun, chance for some late-day showers. High 73-80.
Sunday: Any showers end early, becoming partly sunny. High 76-83.
Labor Day: A mix of sun and clouds, chance for a late-day shower or thunderstorm. High 75-82.
The weekend is going to start off unsettled, but the rest of it looks terrific.
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected on Friday, especially north and west of Boston. Image provided by the Storm Prediction Center.
High pressure will slide offshore tonight and Friday, with southwest winds bringing warm and increasingly humid air into the region. A cold front will approach from the west during the day on Friday. A line of showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead the front. Conditions should be ripe for some of these storms to become strong to severe during the afternoon and evening, especially north and west of Boston. Some of the storms produce hail and strong winds, with heavy downpours also likely. As the storms move into the Boston area and southeastern Massachusetts they should start to weaken, but some gusty winds and heavy downpours are still possible. The front moves offshore at night, bringing an end to the showers and storms, though they may not end completely until close to daybreak across parts of the Cape and possibly southeastern Massachusetts. High pressure then builds back in for Saturday and Sunday with cooler and drier air. By Monday, the high will move off to the east and warmer and more humid air will start to move back in. This will be the beginning of what looks like a hot week , but we’ll get into more details on that in our Weekly Outlook Sunday night.
The latter half of next week is looking hot around here. Image provided by Weathermodels.com
Thursday night: Clear skies, some clouds may start to drift in late at night. Low 60-67.
Friday: Morning sun, then clouds move in with shower and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon, some could be strong to severe, becoming breezy in the afternoon. High 80-87, little cooler across Cape Cod.
Friday night: Mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms ending from northwest to southeast. Low 57-64.
Saturday: Becoming mostly sunny and less humid. High 71-78, coolest near the coast.
Saturday night: Clear skies. Low 48-55.
Sunday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 72-79, a little cooler at the coast with afternoon seabreezes.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 53-60.
Monday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 77-84, a little cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
We’ve got a little bit of everything this weekend – severe weather, heat and humidity, and a return to cooler and drier weather. Let’s get right to the details.
A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 8pm. Image provided by NOAA.
We’re starting things off on an active note, with a severe thunderstorm watch in effect for most of the region, except Cape Cod and the Islands, until 8pm. A vigorous upper-level disturbance is moving toward the region, and it has already triggered some showers and thunderstorms. They’ll become a bit more widespread as the afternoon wears on while moving generally eastward towards the area. Some of the stronger storms may produce hail, strong winds, heavy downpours that could lead to flash flooding, and possibly a tornado or two. With the potential for some heavy rain, a Flood Watch is also in effect for a good portion of the area. Activity should wind down and move offshore before midnight, leaving us with a warm and muggy night, with many spots not dropping below 70. Friday looks to be a very warm to hot day with moderate to high humidity for much of the region. High temperatures will likely approach or exceed 90 in many locations, except for the immediate South Coast. The combination of heat and humidity will send the heat index well into the 90s, so a Heat Advisory has also been issued. Friday night will be another warm and muggy night, leading into Saturday, which is the transition day.
The heat index will be in the middle to upper 90s in many areas Friday afternoon. Images provided by WeatherBell.
Saturday will start off with some sunshine, along with very warm and humid conditions, but a strong cold front will be moving toward the region. Depending on how quickly the clouds move in, some spots could reach 90 by midday, especially south of the Mass Pike. We’ll have some showers and thunderstorms developing ahead of the front by early afternoon, and again, the threat is there for some severe weather, as well as heavy rainfall, so Flood Watches will likely be issued once again. Showers and storms end with the passage of the cold front at night, then a much cooler and drier airmass settles in for Sunday and Monday. Dewpoints will drop into the 50s, and temperatures will only be in the upper 70s and lower 80s for highs both days. With night time lows dropping into the 50s in many spots Sunday night, you’ll be able to turn off the air conditioner and open the windows in your dwelling. This airmass may hang around for a good chunk of the week, with one model showing the potential for a few spots to drop into the upper 40s Wednesday morning. We’ll have a closer look at that in our Weekly Outlook early Monday morning.

Thursday night: Showers and thunderstorms, some strong to severe during the evening, ending by midnight, then skies clear out. Low 67-74.
Friday: Sunny, hot, and fairly humid. High 86-93.
Friday night: Clear skies, clouds start to filter in late at night. Low 68-75.
Saturday: Some morning sun, then becoming mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms developing by early afternoon, some could be strong. High 84-91.
Saturday night: Showers and thunderstorms end during the evening, some clearing late at night. Low 60-67.
The final week of July will not be as hot as last week was, but there will still be episodes of humidity to deal with.

After Sunday’s record-breaking heat, which topped 100 in places, today won’t be as hot with a cold front approaching the region. We’ll have plenty of cloud cover with some showers and thunderstorms expected ahead of the front. Some of the storms could be quite potent, with strong winds, hail, and heavy downpours. There is even a risk for a tornado. While the threat of severe weather exists from Maine to Virginia, around here, we think it’ll be mostly north and west of I-95 where the strongest storms occur, as usual. We could still see some strong storms in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, so don’t let your guard down if you’ll be in that neck of the woods during the afternoon.
Severe weather looks like a decent bet across the Northeast today. Image provided Pivotal Weather.
While temperatures will be “cooler” today they’ll still be in the 80s, possibly near 90 in spots if we can get enough sunshine in the morning. Of course, if we get some sunshine, that will also help to fuel some stronger thunderstorms. It’ll also be a much more humid day, with dewpoints well into the 60s and 70s, so it’ll feel nearly as hot as Sunday was. As a result, the National Weather Service extended the Heat Advisory for much of Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island until 5pm today.

The cold front moves offshore tonight, then high pressure builds in for Tuesday and Wednesday with drier conditions. Temperatures should still reach the 80s, but dewpoints will be in the 50s and lower 60s. The next system approaches on Thursday, so we’ll turn warmer and more humid once again, with some showers and thunderstorms likely late Thursday into Friday. At this time, it doesn’t look like the threat for severe weather is as significant as today, but it’s still a few days away, so we’ll keep monitoring things. High pressure builds back in next weekend with seasonably warm and drier weather once again.
Tuesday will be much more comfortable with dewpoints in the 50s and lower 60s. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Monday: Some morning sun, then becoming cloudy and breezy with showers and thunderstorms likely, some of which could be strong to severe. High 85-92.
Monday Night: Showers and thunderstorms end in the evening, then skies gradually clear out. Low 59-66.
Tuesday: A mix of sun and clouds, not as humid. High 80-87.
Tuesday night: Clear skies. Low 58-65.
Wednesday: Partly sunny. High 83-90.
Thursday: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms possible during the afternoon and evening. High 85-92.
Friday: Partly sunny with a chance of showers. High 82-89.
Saturday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 81-88.
