Let the Summer Begin!
Wow, that was a hot one...many weather observers called in today with high temps near or slightly over 90...my blood isn't ready for this it's still thick from the last few chilly weeks of May! All of our blood will be thinning very quickly as Summer heat and humidity will essentially be with us until the end of next week!
Let's get right to the weekend...that's why your reading after all right?!?!? So tomorrow the marine layer looks a little stronger due to less of a SW wind direction and more of a S or even SE direction. This will present problems with low clouds and fog and it will take longer to burn off and in SE Mass there may not be any sun at all tomorrow...highs in the 60s too! But the rest of us will get into some sun and temps will touch 80. Thunderstorms will be close but should stay to our west and north once again.
On Sunday, The offshore ridge will start strengthening...this will increase the heat again here in Southern New England...highs will swell into the mid 80s once again! The threat of storms will actually retreat to the west with the strengthening ridge and midlevel warming.
The ridge will be strong and should provide 85-90 degree temps for Memorial Day but it may weaken a bit in the afternoon allowing for a surface front to sneak down from the north...a chance for a few strong storms by afternoon.
That front will provide just a tiny bit of relief from the heat but more importantly it will knock down humidity for Tuesday. Late Wednesday, a brief pattern changing coldfront will work in with potentially dangerous storms and relief from not only the humidity but the heat too...highs near 70 by the end of next week!
Lastly, just want to say a quick thank you to all of our service men and women...now and in the past. Have a great holiday weekend.
