Much Better...

It wasn't perfect but it was a heck of a lot better than yesterday as the sun finally returned and temps warmed nicely this afternoon.  The next couple of days will be very similar.  With the muggy air presently in place, fog and low clouds are forming over SE Mass...this will spread north through the night and in places it doesn't reach, ground fog will form.  The morning will start out murky but the stratus deck will thin and lift into a broken stratocumulus field with breaks of sunshine in between cloud clumps.  The sun will aid in instability and some towering cumulus will result which could grow into cumulonimbus (t-storms) but the best heating will be well inland and that's where most if not all the action will be.  Friday, again shows similar conditions but an upper level disturbance will increase the threat along the Eastern MA coast for a storm.

The weekend is still a tough call but I am confident in saying that Saturday will be a true Summer beauty...very warm in the 80s, lots of sun and only a very small chance of thunderstorms.  As for the rest of the weekend, a surface front, separating heat from cooler air will get hung up in the area.  It's final resting spot is still unclear but it is looking like it will be close enough to produce developing afternoon showers and thunderstorms on Sunday and additional ones on Monday too.
