Much Better...

The heat is gone, the humidity is lowering and the severe storms are out of here...life is good again.  The high today in Boston was only 74 degrees...that's just the third time this month the high temp was below average levels.  It's also the first time this month the high has failed to reach 80 degrees...it's been a hot month!

It's not all roses however, an area of low pressure has developed on the stalled front that came through last night and sits in our coastal waters.  That low and it's associated precip shield will try to spread into Southern New England early tomorrow morning.  High pressure located to our north and it's associated dry surface air will attempt to stop any rain from falling in our area.  My though right now is that it will be largely successful.  We will see lots of clouds tonight and tomorrow especially for the first half of the day and there may be a little rain that falls on the South Coast tomorrow making for a not so good beach day but the rest of the region will stay mainly dry.

The wave of low pressure will slide offshore for Saturday...the departure will allow for the surface high to our north to settle in giving us a gorgeous Saturday with just some lingering cirrus overhead.  Highs will range from the 70s at the coast to around 80 inland...and again the humidity will be very low.  The high crests over us by Sunday and under solid sunshine and a little return flow, the interior will warm into the mid 80s.  I still am expecting a seabreeze for the coast so temps will come in closer to 80.

Early next week, the muggy air continues to flood back in and along with it comes the threat of more thunderstorms.  The greatest threat will fall on Tuesday when a coldfront sweeps in from the west.
