A Hot One...
Last month we had six 90+ degree days, so far this month we've only had one. That could change tomorrow as heat builds in for one day before a front moves through and cools us off for the weekend.
That same front will be active as it traverses the Northeast but the timing right now doesn't look good for a big outbreak of severe weather. The sun will be setting and therefore the hottest part of the day will have passed by the time the front and the storms along it get to Eastern New England. Still though conditions will need to be monitored closely because even though the severe threat is low even general thunderstorms can be dangerous.
The position of the front will be critical over the weekend. While the front slides through it will begin to slow down and stall due to flow along the front becoming parallel to it. As of right now I expect the front to stall just south and east of New England. This will keep deeper moisture mostly offshore but close enough to lead to a few showers especially for SE Mass through the weekend. Timing these showers will be tough but the highest chance to get wet appears to be Saturday afternoon and night. But don't let a few showers discourage you about the weekend...most of it now appears dry and while this is a recent development I am cautiously optimistic we won't see hours of rain. Temps over the weekend, behind the front will slide back closer to 80 degrees...so warm but not hot.
