Hot and humid weather will make a brief return, but most of the weekend looks rather nice.

High pressure sitting offshore has brought high humidity back to the region along with very warm to hot conditions, but it won’t last too long. A cold front will cross the region on Friday, with showers and thunderstorms ahead of it during the afternoon and evening. We’re not expecting widespread severe weather but some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall and gusty winds. The front pushes offshore Friday night, though it could linger near the South Coast for a while, keeping some clouds and possibly a few showers into early Saturday, otherwise, high pressure builds back in with lower humidity and seasonable warm conditions for the rest of the weekend and Monday.

Thursday night: Any showers end this evening, partly to mostly cloudy with patchy fog overnight. Low 66-73.
Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, showers and thunderstorms develop in the afternoon. High 82-89.
Friday night: Showers and thunderstorms taper off and end, becoming partly cloudy across southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. Low 63-70.
Saturday: Becoming partly to mostly sunny, less humid. High 77-84, a little cooler across Cape Cod.
You’ve heard us use the phrase “When in drought, leave it out” in relation to rainfall plenty of times. There is a corollary to that phrase – “Droughts end in floods”, which we’re going to use for the next few days.

The front that brought an end to the heat Saturday night has stalled out south of New England, and a wave of low pressure will ride along it over the next day or so. This will result in periods of rain, some of it heavy at times later today into a good chunk of Tuesday, mainly south of the Mass Pike. Many of the forecast models are showing the potential for 2-4 inches of rain, with amounts in excess of 6 inches possible. Pinpointing where these tropical downpours will be the heaviest is a fool’s errand, but that much rain in a short period of time, even with the ongoing drought, will result in areas of flooding. That’s why Flood Watches have been issues for much of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, as this is where the heaviest rain is expected. The question is, how much rain falls north of the Mass Pike? While there are some models that bring the heavy rain all the way into southern New Hampshire, many of them have the amounts taper off quickly north of the Pike, with little rainfall once you get into southern New Hampshire. With the cloudcover and rainfall, temperatures will be quite cool, with many places staying in the 60s, especially on Tuesday, The showers wind down Tuesday night, then high pressure builds in with gradually improving conditions on Wednesday, though temperatures will remain below normal. Very warm weather returns for Thursday as high pressure moves offshore, with some places getting back to 90. This heat will be short-lived, as another cold front moves through on Friday with some showers and thunderstorms. High pressure brings cooler and drier weather in for Saturday, with temperatures turning a bit warmer again on Sunday.

Monday: Cloudy with periods of rain and showers, mostly south of the Mass Pike. High 69-76.
Monday night: Rain likely, heavy at times south of the Mass Pike. Low 57-64.
Tuesday: Rain during the morning, tapering off to showers in the afternoon. High 64-71.
Tuesday night: Showers ending during the evening, some clearing may start late at night, mainly north and west of Boston. Low 55-62.
Wednesday: Becoming partly to mostly sunny. High 75-82, a little cooler near the coast.
Wednesday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 61-68.
Thursday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 85-92, cooler near the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Low 65-72.
Friday: Partly sunny with some showers and thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. High 83-90.
As we get ready to celebrate America’s 250th, some very hot weather will be here for a few days.

A ridge of high pressure continues to provide the eastern half of the nation with hot and humid conditions into Saturday. Daytime temperatures well into the 90s, combined with dewpoints in the 60s and lower 70s, will make it feel like 100-105 at times. Not much relief comes at night, with lows only in the 70s tonight through Friday night, with places like downtown Boston possibly not falling below 80. A few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible tonight, but they’ll be a bit more numerous Friday afternoon and evening. The Fourth of July is the transition day, and unfortunately, with plenty of outdoor gatherings planned, they could be impacted. A cold front will drop southward, but ahead of it, we’re going to have another hot and humid day, with most places topping 90 again. However, the front will trigger some showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon. Some of these storms may produce heavy downpours and gusty winds, so keep an eye to the sky (or the radar) if you’ll be outside. Hopefully the storms will end before evening, allowing many fireworks celebrations to proceed. Welcome relief arrives on Sunday with cooler and drier air. Cool is a relative term, and most places will still be in the 80s, which is right around or a little above normal. Monday is the day with the most uncertainty at this point. That front will stall out south of New England, and as we get to Monday a wave of low pressure will ride along it. Some models bring in some showers with the wave during the afternoon, some wait until nighttime. We’re going to be cautiously optimistic that most if the day remains dry at this point, but that is far from guaranteed.
Will the rain arrive Monday afternoon or wait until nightfall? Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Thursday night: Mostly clear, slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm during the evening. Low 72-79.
Friday: Sunshine and a few clouds, a late-day shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 93-100, cooler across Cape Cod.
Friday night: Partly cloudy, chance for a few showers or thunderstorms, mainly before midnight. Low 72-79.
Fourth of July: A mix of sun and clouds, scattered showers and thunderstorms develop, mainly in the afternoon. High 89-96.
Saturday night: Any showers or storms end in the evening, clear to partly cloudy overnight. Low 65-72.
Sunday: Partly sunny, not as humid. High 81-88, cooler near the coast.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 60-67.
Monday: Intervals of clouds and sun, chance for showers late in the day. High 72-79.
The hype train has left the station and is barreling down the tracks at high speed. Unlike winter, when the hype is all about an impending snowstorm, this time, it’s about heat and humidity.
Some warm and muggy nights are likely later this week with lows in the 70s. Image provided by Weathermodels.com
A ridge of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere is going to set up shop across the eastern part of the nation later this week. This will result in very hot and humid weather for much of the eastern half of the nation, especially during the latter half of the week. Around here, it’s going to get hot, but will we get the extreme heat that many in the media are already proclaiming is a lock? We’re not quite so confident.
A ridge of high pressure will bring heat to the eastern half of the nation this week. Loop provided by Tropical Tidbits.
Before we get there, let’s talk about the first part of the week, which starts off with a rather nice day today with high pressure building in. We’ll have sunshine, seasonably warm temperatures, and moderate humidity levels. That high will move offshore on Tuesday, and a warm front extending from low pressure over the nation’s mid-section will approach our area. As the warm front moves in, some showers and thunderstorms are likely late in the day and into the evening. Some of these storms could be quite strong, with damaging winds and heavy downpours the main threats. We need all the rain we can get with the ongoing drought, but too much in a short-period results in areas of flooding.

Hot and humid air then settles in for Wednesday into Friday. Temperatures likely top 90 away from the South Coast on Wednesday, then Thursday and Friday appear to be the hottest days right now, but how hot will it get? Many forecast models are showing temperatures near or over 100, and all of the Facebook Forecasters (as well as many in the local media) have been quick to post these maps like it is locked in and a virtual certainty. Well, we’re here to tell you that it isn’t. Not yet at least. Not every model is showing widespread triple-digit heat. Seabreezes will keep coastal areas cooler. There’s also something that the models don’t handle that well that will have an impact. In this pattern, a common occurrence is for thunderstorms to develop across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, then ride along the jet stream over the top of that ridge, then dive southeastward towards New York and New England. These clusters usually end up around here late at night or first thing in the morning. Sometimes, it’s just weakening storms, sometimes they remain quite potent, even severe at times. The models are notoriously bad at picking these out more than 24 hours or so in advance. If the timing is a little off, and the clouds and/or showers hang around a little later into the morning, then it’s not going to get nearly as hot as the models are currently showing. It’s also worth mentioning that there won’t be a lot of relief at night, especially Wednesday Night and Thursday night, when temperatures will likely not drop below 70, and urban areas may not drop below 80.
Could some places reach 100 on Thursday? It’s possible, but not likely, at least for now. Image provided by WeatherBell.
As we get to the end of the week and the weekend, another complicating factor is a backdoor cold front dropping down from the north. Behind it, relatively cooler and drier air will settle in, with heat and humidity remaining in place to the south. When will this front move through? How far south does it get before it stalls out? Will it retreat northward as a warm front again before the weekend is over, bringing the hot and humid air back in? Will there be some showers and thunderstorms along this front? All of these factors result in a highly uncertain temperature forecast for later Friday and into the weekend. Since it’s Fourth of July weekend, there are lots of outdoor plans being made, and the forecast is an important part of that. For now, plan for it to be very warm, and keep an eye to the sky (or the radar), but be aware that the forecast still can change.
Will it still be hot for the Fourth of July or will it cool off a little? Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Bottom line: Yes, it will get hot and humid for at least a few days later this week, but how hot and for how long remains uncertain, despite what you may see or read elsewhere. We’ll likely do a special blog post about this on Tuesday or Wednesday when things are a little more clear (hopefully), in addition to our normal Weekend Outlook on Thursday.

Very warm to hot weather will continue through the weekend, but the humidity won’t.

High pressure anchored off the East Coast will continue to pump hot and humid air into the region on southwest winds for another day or so, but some relief is on the way. A few showers and thunderstorms are possible through the evening, but they should gradually dissipate, leaving us with a warm and muggy night. Friday will also be hot and humid for most of the region, but a backdoor cold front will slip down the coast, bringing relief to coastal portions of Maine and New Hampshire, as well as the North Shore and likely the Boston area by midday. It probably won’t get too far inland, and may not get to the South Shore, but behind that front, temperatures will be in the 70s and lower 80s, compared to upper 80s and lower 90s inland. The South Coast and Cape Cod will be cooler as well, with southwest winds acting as a seabreeze. There could be a few widely scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, but most of the region will remain dry.

A stronger cold front moves in from the west Friday night, producing a few more showers and thunderstorms overnight. Behind that front we’ll clear out on Saturday. It will remain quite warm, with most places getting well into the 80s, but humidity levels will be much lower. Some clouds will start to filter back in on Sunday as another front moves toward the region, but again, most of the day will be dry and very warm. That front may produce a few showers and thunderstorms Sunday night, then we’ll see drier and cooler weather return for Monday.

Thursday night: Partly cloudy, any showers and thunderstorms taper off and end during the evening. Low 65-72.
Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, chance for a widely scattered shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon. High 86-93, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod. Coastal areas from Boston northward may turn cooler in the afternoon.
Friday night: Partly cloudy with a few showers and thunderstorms expected, skies start to clear out late at night. Low 63-70.
Saturday: Sun, sun, and more sun, much less humid. High 84-91, cooler across Cape Cod.
Saturday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 61-68.
Sunday: Sunshine slowly fades behind increasing clouds, breezy. High 85-92, cooler across Cape Cod.
Sunday night: Partly to mostly cloudy with a few showers and thunderstorms. Low 60-67.
Some typical June weather is expected for much of the upcoming week.

We start the week off on a cool note with high pressure building in from Canada. We’ll have plenty of sunshine today, but east to northeast winds off the still cool Atlantic will keep temperatures on the cool side today, especially near the coastline. As the high slides southward on Tuesday and anchors itself off the East Coast, a ridge of high pressure will start build in aloft, resulting in a warming trend. With sunshine continuing on Tuesday, southwest winds will help many locations top 80 away from the South Coast and Cape Cod. Much of the remainder of the week will feature hot and increasingly humid conditions, with a daily chance for a few showers and thunderstorms as weak disturbances cross the region. The exception could be later Thursday into part of Friday, when we may see a backdoor cold front trying to bring in some cooler air, especially along the coast. This is far from a certainty, and even if it does occur, it would lift northward again by Saturday, allowing the heat and humidity to return. A stronger cold front may begin to move in from the west on Sunday.
Friday could be quite toasty, but it also could be considerably cooler near the east coast. Imaged provided by Pivotal Weather.
Monday: Sunshine and a few clouds. High 73-80, a little cooler along the coast and across Cape Cod.
Monday night: Clear skies. Low 50-57.
Tuesday: Plenty of sunshine. High 81-88, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Tuesday night: Becoming partly cloudy. Low 57-64.
Wednesday: Intervals of clouds and sun, breezy, chance for a late-day shower or thunderstorm. High 82-89, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Wednesday night: Partly cloudy, a few showers or thunderstorms possible during the evening. Low 60-67.
Thursday: Partly sunny, chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. High 83-90, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod, temperatures could turn cooler during the afternoon across eastern areas.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Low 60-67.
Friday: Partly sunny, a late-day shower possible. High 83-90, possibly cooler across eastern coastal areas and Cape Cod.

Sunday: Partly sunny, afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible. High 84-91, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
The weekend will start with heat and humidity, but that won’t last the entire weekend.

High pressure building in south of the region will result in increasing heat and humidity for Friday and Saturday. While we’ll have a few clouds around during the day on Friday, they’ll become more widespread on Saturday as a cold front begins dropping southward from Canada. A shower or thunderstorm is possible Saturday afternoon, but most of the activity should stay well north and west of our area. Showers and thunderstorms should become more widespread Saturday evening and night. A wave of low pressure will ride along the front on Sunday, bringing in more showers with much cooler temperatures, especially near the coast. We’re not expecting a soaking rain, but any rain we get will help with the ongoing drought. Unfortunately, the rain will fall on Sunday, so it will lead to a lot of complaints about another rainy weekend, despite the fact that most of Saturday will be dry. High pressure builds in for Monday with drier weather along with seasonably mild conditions.

We’ve got an early taste of summer before we get to Memorial Day Weekend.
Some record highs are possible on Tuesday. Image provided by WeatherBell.
Before we get to the forecast, we wanted to point out that this is blog post #1000 since we started on this long, strange journey, and it is posted just two days shy of the 10th anniversary of the first blog post. Before that StormHQ was just a Facebook page and a Twitter account, but now it’s been 10 years or sarcasm, information, commentary and of course weather forecasts, and for those of you still reading, we thank you very much. Now, onto the forecast.
A backdoor cold front has settled south of the region, so temperatures are will be on the cooler side today despite plenty of sunshine. Of course, cool is relative, as temperatures will be close to where the should be in mid-to-late May, but most places will be 10-20 degrees cooler than they were on Sunday. That front will lift back northward tonight, allowing the warm to hot and increasingly humid weather to return on Tuesday, with temperatures away from the South Coast getting well into the 80s, with some spots topping 90 degrees. We could see a few showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, but the bulk of the region should remain dry. Wednesday starts off with sunshine, but clouds will quickly move in as a cold front heads our way. It will be another very warm and humid day with temperatures well into the 80s away from the South Coast, with a few places possibly reaching 90 again. The front will trigger showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening, some of which could be strong to severe. Some of the stronger storms may produce heavy downpours, gusty winds, and hail. High pressure builds in behind the front with cooler and drier conditions for Thursday and Friday.

As for Memorial Day Weekend, there is a considerable amount of uncertainty at this point. We’ll have high pressure to the north, keeping temperatures on the cooler side, which a series of waves ride along a frontal system south of the region. That’s about all the models agree on at this point. Whether there is one wave or two, when do they move through, how far north does the rain get, how cool will it stay with cloudcover and/or rainfall. None of these are questions we can answer with any certainty at this point. Right now, it looks like Saturday and possibly Sunday will be the cooler and wetter days, but this is far from certain, and doesn’t mean that Monday will be a great day either for the holiday. We should have a better idea by the time we get to our Weekend Outlook on Thursday, and will take a deeper dive into it at that point.
Will Saturday be wet? The models don’t agree. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Monday: Partly to mostly sunny. High 75-82 south and west of Boston, 67-74 north of Boston, possibly a little cooler across the North Shore and Hew Hampshire Seacoast.
Monday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 58-65, except 50-57 across the North Shore, Hew Hampshire Seacoast, and Cape Cod.
Tuesday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds, breezy, chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. High 87-94, except 79-86 across the South Coast and 71-78 across Cape Cod.
Tuesday night: Partly cloudy. Low 64-71, cooler across Cape Cod.
Wednesday: Morning sun then increasing clouds with late-day showers and thunderstorms, some could be strong, breezy. High 84-91, except 76-83 across the South Coast and 68-75 across Cape Cod.
Wednesday night: Showers and storms end in the evening, becoming partly cloudy. Low 48-55.
Thursday: Partly sunny, much cooler. High 63-70.
Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Low 42-49.
Friday: Partly sunny. High 61-68.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. High 59-66.
Sunday: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. High 61-68.
Memorial Day: Intervals of clouds and sun. High 64-71.
Once again, most of this week will be fair quiet weather-wise. The tropics, however, are not going to be quiet.
Drought conditions are beginning to re-emerge, especially in SE Massachusetts and Cape Cod. Image produce by the National Drought Mitigation Center.
High pressure remains in control for the first half of the week with warm and increasingly humid conditions. While the humidity levels will be on the rise, it won’t be oppressive, certainly not like it was earlier in the summer. Temperatures will likely be near or over 90 degrees for the next few days inland, but a seabreeze will keep coastal areas cooler each afternoon. We could see a shower or thunderstorm across inland areas Wednesday, but otherwise, it should remain dry. A cold front will move in on Thursday, likely producing some showers and thunderstorms, along with some cooler weather. Temperatures on Thursday will be dependent on the timing of the front and the associated thunderstorms. A later arriving front likely means another day of 90-degress temperatures inland, but and earlier-arriving front would prevent that. High pressure builds back in with drier and cooler conditions on Friday. As the high slides off to the east, warmer weather will return for the weekend.
Tuesday looks like the hottest day with temperatures well into the 90s away from the coast. Image provided by Weathermodels.com
Now we’ll talk about the tropics. As you may have seen from all the Facebook Forecasters out there, Major Hurricane Erin is going to wipe out the East Coast in about 10 days. Well, that’s what a few of the models have shown at times over the past several days, and since the models show it, that’s what’s going to happen, because the models are always spot on 10 or more days in advance, right? Now, we’ll give you some real data. There is a strong tropical wave that moved off the west coast of Africa a few days ago. It has been fighting off some dry air and is over water that isn’t quite warm enough to sustain a tropical system, but it has shown some signs of organization in the past day or so. In fact, by the time some of you read this the National Hurricane Center may have already declared the system Tropical Depression 5. It will pass close to or over the Cabo Verde Islands today and then head in a general westward direction, likely strengthening as it does. The strengthening should be slow and steady as the system spending the next 5 day or so over the open waters of the Atlantic, and it will probably get upgraded to Tropical Storm Erin over the next day or two. It could become a hurricane later this week or next weekend. At that point, it should be approaching the longitude roughly near the Lesser Antilles. Most (but not all) of the models show the system passing north of the Islands, but that does not mean they are safe yet. However, around that point is an important spot to watch what the storm is doing. Some models show it turning more toward the northwest or even north at that point and heading out to sea (though possibly threatening Bermuda), while other models show it continuing off toward the west-northwest or even west. This would increase the threat to the Bahamas (and possibly the Greater Antilles). Of course, this is all still a week away, at which point the average error in the models is several hundred miles, so this really is just pure speculation. We won’t even get into how strong it might be, as intensity forecasts in the models are notoriously poor. For now, we’ll just say that it’s something to keep an eye on, but don’t worry about yet. *IF* it were to become a threat to the East Coast (and that’s a very big IF), we’ll give you plenty of advance notice. We’re not here for hype or page clicks (like the Facebook Forecasters), we’re here to give you a true look at what’s going on. We’ll likely be writing special blogs about this system (and the rest of the tropics) at various times this week. For now, ignore the noise, and listen to a trusted source, not one that picks out the scariest looking forecast model for 10 days from now and insists that is exactly what is going to happen (because it almost certainly won’t).
There’s still a wide range in model solutions for where the tropical system will track over the next 7 days. Image provided by Tomer Burg.

Remember how it rained nearly every weekend through the Spring? That won’t be the case this weekend.
It’s been quite dry across much of the area since June 1. Image provided by WeatherBell.
High pressure will dominate our weather right through the weekend. The high, currently centered over southeastern Canada will slowly drop southward, settling off the East Coast this weekend. Not only will we stay dry through this time, but temperatures will trend upward, and by the end of the weekend, so will humidity levels. The smoke and haze that has plagued us for the past few days from Canadian wildfires will thin out and drift away, so we’ll have sunshine for most of the time as well (during the daylight hours).
