The forecast for most of the upcoming week will be a fairly simple one for our region. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Dexter has developed in the Atlantic well off the East Coast, but it won’t have any impact here.

High pressure will dominate our weather for most of the upcoming week, with mostly sunny skies, seasonably warm temperatures, and comfortable humidity levels. Today will likely be the warmest day, with some places across the interior approaching 90, but the rest of the week will feature temperatures mainly in the upper 70s and 80s across the interior, with seabreezes keeping coastal areas a little cooler. We could see a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms well inland towards midweek, but for the most part, it will remain dry into next week. Some smoke in hazy conditions at times, mainly during the first half of the week.

The only real question mark in the forecast is Sunday. As we mentioned in the previous blog about the tropics, we need to keep an eye on a potential system developing near the Southeast coast later this week. Some models bring the system into the Southeast or Carolinas, with some of the moisture drifting northward towards next weekend. Some models try to bring the system itself up the coast as the high shifts off to our east. Of course, this system may not even develop, and the entire point would be moot. Right now, it looks like the high may be strong enough to keep us dry, but also turning hot once again. We should have a much better idea when we get to our Weekend Outlook later this week.

We’ll be watching a potential low pressure area near the Southeast later this week to see if it may have any impact here down the road. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

Tropical Storm Dexter developed late Sunday night off the East Coast. It was centered about 300 miles west-northwest of Bermuda, moving toward the east-northeast at 12 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 45 mph. Dexter may strengthen a little more on Monday, but not much, as wind shear will remain in place. Beyond that, wind shear will take more of a toll on the system, and it will likely lose its tropical characteristics by midweek as it continues east-northeastward into the open waters of the Atlantic. It may churn up some rough seas and create some rip currents along the East Coast later this week, but that should be its only impacts.

Heat and humidity return for the first half of the week, but the latter half will tell a different story.

Heat Advisories are in effect for the first half of the week. Image provided by the National Weather Service office in Norton, MA.

We start the week off with high pressure moving offshore, resulting in hot and humid conditions into Wednesday. Tuesday looks the be the hottest day of this stretch, with temperatures well into the 90s, and only a stray shower or thunderstorm providing minimal relief. Wednesday could also be quite hot, but we’ll have a cold front moving in, with clouds and a few showers and thunderstorms ahead of it during the afternoon. The front moves through and then stalls out near or just off the South Coast, which is where things get tricky.

It will feel like it is near or over 100 degrees Tuesday afternoon. Image provided by WeatherBell.

A wave of low pressure will ride along that front, bringing some rain and cooler air into the region. What’s uncertain is where the front stalls out, and the timing of the wave. For now, it looks like the bulk of the rain will be South of the Mass Pike, but that is highly uncertain. The rain could get all the way into southern New Hampshire, or it could be confined to the South Coast. This will be dependent om where the front actually is. How much rain will be dependent on how strong the wave is. Some models have light to moderate rain in spots, some show the potential for some hefty amounts. The other question is the timing. Some models show most of the rain Thursday and Thursday night, some have the heavier rain Thursday night into Friday, some even have it linger into Friday night. What you’ll see below is our best estimate on all these variables at this time, but it is obviously very low confidence. Behind the system high pressure builds in with cooler and drier weather for the weekend.

There’s a lot of uncertainty with the rainfall potential for the end of the week. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

Monday: Patchy morning fog, otherwise mostly sunny, hot, and humid. High 85-92, cooler along the coast.

Monday night: Clear skies, a little patchy fog again. Low 65-72.

Tuesday: Sunshine and a few clouds, slight chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. High 90-97, cooler across Cape Cod.

Tuesday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 66-73.

Wednesday: A mix of sun and clouds, chance for some late-day showers and thunderstorms. High 88-95, cooler across Cape Cod.

Wednesday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, showers and thunderstorms possible. Low 65-72.

Thursday: More clouds than sun with showers and thunderstorms likely. High 75-82.

Thursday night: Partly to mostly cloudy with more showers and thunderstorms. Low 58-65.

Friday: Showers and thunderstorms ending, becoming partly sunny. High 70-77.

Saturday: Lots of sunshine. High 73-80.

Sunday: More sunshine. High 78-85.

Quiet weather will dominate much of the upcoming work week.

It could get rather chilly tonight in some areas. Image provided by weathermodels.com

High pressure builds in for Monday and Tuesday with sunshine, low humidity and temperatures that are a little below normal for late July. Highs will only be in the 70s and lower 80s both days. With clear skies and diminishing winds tonight we could have ideal conditions for radiational cooling, resulting in low temperatures dropping into the 50s, with some 40s in the normally colder locations. As the high slides offshore on Wednesday temperatures will start to moderate, but the heat and humidity will really make a comeback for Thursday, and especially on Friday. Temperatures will get well into the 90s on Friday, but when the humidity is factored in it will feel like it is over 100 degrees in the afternoon. An approaching cold front may trigger some showers and thunderstorms Friday afternoon, but it looks like the front will stall out nearby and remain there for the weekend. That means it will remain humid with a daily chance for showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will likely stay quite warm, but how hot it gets each day will depend on the amount of sunshine we see.

The heat index will be near or over 100 Friday afternoon. Image provided by WeatherBell,

Monday: Sunshine and a few clouds, breezy. High 73-80.

Monday night: Clear and cool. Low 51-58, a little warmer across Cape Cod.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny. High 72-79.

Tuesday night: Clear skies. Low 51-59.

Wednesday: Mostly sunny. High 78-85.

Wednesday night: Partly cloudy. Low 62-69.

Thursday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy, more humid. High 86-93, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.

Thursday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 67-74.

Friday: Sunshine with afternoon clouds, showers and thunderstorms possible late in the day, humid. High 91-98, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.

Saturday: Partly sunny, chance for late-day showers and thunderstorms. High 83-90.

Sunday: Partly sunny, a few late-day showers and thunderstorms possible. High 79-86.

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.

The first half of the week is looking quite toasty, but the second half looks quite unsettled. There’s also the chance the first tropical depression of the season in the Atlantic could develop.

A large ridge of high pressure will bring heat and humidity to much of the East to start the week. Image provided by Pivotal Weather.

A ridge of high pressure will remain in place across the Eastern US to start the week, resulting in some very warm to hot and humid conditions. Temperatures will soar well into the 90s in many areas today with sunny skies, but a seabreeze will keep coastal areas a little cooler, mainly in the 80s. When you factor in dewpoints in the upper 60s and 70s, it’s going to feel like it is over 100 degrees outside, away from the coastline. Temperatures only drop into the 70s at night, setting us a brutally hot and humid day on Tuesday. Temperatures should be well into the 90s across much of the region, and it isn’t out of the question that a few places get close to 100 degrees. Again, with the humidity factored in, it will feel likely 100 to 110 once again. Wednesday is the transition day, as a weak backdoor cold front begins to drop down from the north. Inland areas will still be hot, likely topping 90 once again, but coastal areas may stay in the 80s as winds become onshore. A few showers or thunderstorms may accompany the front, bringing some relief from the heat.

The heat index will be over 100 across much of the region Tuesday afternoon. Image provided by WeatherBell.

That front should settle off to the south later Wednesday before stalling out, bringing an end to the heat and allowing much cooler air to settle into the region. As weak disturbances ride along the front, we’ll have episodes of showers and times between Thursday and Sunday. None of the days should be a washout, but it will definitely be cooler and wetter than the first half of the week, with temperatures likely below normal for the end of June. Sunday may actually turn out to be a decent day, with a lesser chance for showers and the potential for some milder temperatures.

The latter half of the week and the weekend will feature below normal temperatures. Image provided by weathermodels.com

Monday: Sunshine and a few clouds. High 90-97 inland, 82-89 along the coast, a little cooler across the Outer Cape.

Monday night: Mostly clear, a little patchy fog possible near the South Coast and Cape Cod. Low 69-76, a little cooler across Cape Cod.

Tuesday: Sunny, hot, and humid, just a slight chance for a late-day shower or thunderstorm. High 93-100, cooler across Cape Cod and the immediate South Coast.

Tuesday night: Clear skies. Low 71-78, cooler across Cape Cod.

Wednesday: A mix of sun and clouds, slight chance for a shower. High 87-94, cooler along the immediate coast and across Cape Cod.

Wednesday night: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy, chance for a few showers. Low 62-69.

Thursday: More clouds than sunshine with some showers possible. High 71-78.

Thursday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, chance for a shower. Low 57-64.

Friday: Mostly cloudy with some showers likely. High 68-75.

Saturday: Plenty of clouds, chance for more showers. High 71-78.

Sunday: Partly sunny, slight chance for a shower. High 75-82.

Meanwhile, in the tropics, there is the chance that our first tropical depression of the season could be forming. A weak area of low pressure has developed a few hundred miles east of Bermuda. It is generating some thunderstorms, and conditions are marginally favorable for a little development today, then conditions become a little more hostile after that. Given that we are past the average date of the first tropical storm in the Atlantic (June 20), and there hasn’t been anything even resembling an organized system yet, the folks at the National Hurricane Center are probably bouncing off the walls with nothing to do, so they’ll probably end up naming this, even though it’s not purely tropical and won’t be around for more than 12-24 hours.

Astronomical summer begins Friday night (10:41pm EDT to be exact), but we’re going to have some summer weather for a good portion of the upcoming week.

Temperatures could reach 90 in some spots on Thursday. Image provided by WeatherBell.

We’re starting the week off with high pressure in control, keeping us dry, but temperatures will remain a little below normal for mid-June, but changes are coming. Low pressure heading into southern Canada will send a warm front our way on Tuesday, but it likely doesn’t arrive until nighttime, keeping us on the cool side once again. There could be a few showers ahead of a warm front, but most of us should stay dry. The warm front moves through, setting up a much warmer and more humid day on Wednesday. Again, there is a chance for a few widely scattered showers or thunderstorms, but they shouldn’t be that common. Thursday, however, could be an interesting day weather-wise. A cold front will be approaching the region from the west. Ahead of it, it will be a very warm and humid day, and with the approaching front, some showers and thunderstorms are likely. There are several factors we need to pay attention to, the biggest one being the timing of the front, but the potential exists for some strong to severe storms. We’ll keep an eye on this, and will post an update on Wednesday if severe weather looks more likely. Behind the front, dry and somewhat cooler air settles in for Friday, though an upper-level disturbance moving through could trigger another pop-up shower or two. This brings us to Saturday, and for the first time in a while, it looks like it will be dry. There’s plenty of time for things to change, but our stretch of wet Saturdays *could* be ending this week. Another weak system may bring in a few showers or thunderstorms on Sunday.

For now, the models are indicating that Saturday may stay dry around here. Images provided by Pivotal Weather,

Monday: Intervals of clouds and sun. High 69-76, coolest along the coast.

Monday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, slight chance for a shower, patchy fog may develop. Low 53-60.

Tuesday: More clouds than sun, chance for a few showers. High 68-75, coolest along the coast.

Tuesday night: Mostly cloudy with a few showers, mainly during the evening, fog may redevelop. Low 56-63.

Wednesday: Becoming partly sunny, a shower is possible. High 76-83, a little cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.

Wednesday night: Partly cloudy, patchy fog possible. Low 62-69.

Thursday: A mix of sun and clouds, showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon, breezy. High 84-91, cooler along the South Coast and Cape Cod.

Thursday night: Showers and storms ending in the evening, then becoming clear. Low 61-68.

Friday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds, slight chance for a shower. High 77-84.

Saturday: Partly to mostly sunny. High 77-84.

Sunday: Partly sunny, chance for a shower or thunderstorm. High 81-88, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.

We’ve got a fairly typical week of weather for mid-June coming up across the region.

Thursday looks like the warmest day this week with many locations likely getting well into the 80s. Image provided by WeatherBell.

We start the week off on a cloudy and cool note with a warm front off to our south and a weak upper-level disturbance moving through, possibly producing a few widely scattered showers. The warm front moves through late tonight and early Tuesday as low pressure passes north and west of the region. This will result in a warmer and more humid day, with some showers and thunderstorms expected ahead of a cold front trailing that low pressure system. Behind that front high pressure builds in with warmer and drier weather for Wednesday and Thursday with temperatures well into the 70s, with some 80s, especially on Thursday. Although we’ll have sunshine, smoke from Canadian wildfires may result in hazy skies both days, and my keep temperatures a little lower than we are currently expecting.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires will impact much of the Northeast on Wednesday. Image provided by NASA.

The end of the week is a lot more uncertain at this point. We’ll have a big high pressure area across southeastern Canada, and a frontal system stalled out south of New England, with waves of low pressure riding along it. Where that front stalls out and has the waves move through determines when (or if), we get any rain (and how much) next weekend. Friday should be a mostly dry day with the front moving through, though there could be a few showers accompanying it. It’s the weekend that has the most uncertainty. Some models keep Saturday dry, some have some showers, some heave steadier rain especially late in the day. Sunday is fairly similar, with some models showing a decent amount of rain, some having just some showers, and some keeping us mostly dry. Temperatures will also be dependent on the position of the front and waves riding along it, along with the timing and amount of any rainfall. Don’t go cancelling any weekend plans just yet as it’s still several days away and there’s a lot of uncertainty, but have a backup plan ready just in case.

Are we in for yet another rainy Saturday? It remains to be seen. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

Monday: Areas of morning fog, otherwise mostly cloudy with a few showers possible. High 63-70, coolest along the coast.

Monday night: Overcast with a few showers and some dense fog possible. Low 53-60.

Tuesday: Plenty of clouds with showers and some thunderstorms. High 67-74.

Tuesday night: Showers end in the evening followed by clearing after midnight. Low 55-62.

Wednesday: Plenty of sunshine, breezy. High 76-83, a little cooler across Cape Cod.

Wednesday night: Mostly clear. Low 60-67.

Thursday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds, breezy. High 78-85, a little cooler across Cape Cod.

Thursday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 56-63.

Friday: Intervals of clouds and sun. High 72-79.

Saturday: Mostly cloudy with some showers possible. High 65-72.

Sunday: More clouds than sun with a chance for more showers. High 65-72.

“Summer’s here and the time is right for dancing in the street”

Climatological summer began yesterday, and we’ve got some summer-like weather finally on the way.

Thursday looks to be the warmest day this week. Image provided by WeatherBell.

We have one more cool day today as low pressure continues to slowly pull away from the region. With northwest winds, temperatures will be a little below normal for early June, and we’ll still have some clouds around, especially in the afternoon, with an upper-level low pressure area nearby. Things start to change for Tuesday though with high pressure building in. We’ll have more sunshine, and southwest winds will start to usher milder air in. Winds aloft will still be out of the northwest, so we could see some smoke aloft from Canadian wildfires start to drift in, resulting in some hazy conditions in the afternoon. Wednesday should be a little warm and also a bit more humid, but still comfortable, but we’ll have a better chance for hazy skies as more smoke flows in from the wildfires in central Canada.

Models show the highest concentration of smoke over our area around midday Wednesday. Image provided by weathermodels.com.

By Thursday a cold front will begin to approach from the northwest, but ahead of it should be the warmest and most humid day of the week, temperatures likely reaching or exceeding 90 in many areas away from the South Coast, and dewpoints should get into the 60s in many locations. That front may trigger some showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. The front will stall out nearby, with keeping temperatures on the mild side for Friday, but not as warm as the previous few days. A wave of low pressure riding along the front may bring some additional showers and thunderstorms later Friday into Saturday. We know, another Saturday with rain. Save your complaints, we only tell you what to expect, we can’t control it. The front finally pulls offshore later Saturday, and high pressure builds in for Sunday with cooler and drier conditions.

Another Saturday with some rain? The models are leaning that way right now. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

Monday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 64-71.

Monday night: Clear skies. Low 46-53.

Tuesday: Plenty of sunshine, becoming hazy late in the day. High 71-78, cooler across Cape Cod.

Tuesday night: Clear skies, hazy. Low 51-58.

Wednesday: Sunshine filtered through smoke and haze. High 80-87, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
