Warm Now, Hot Later?
Highs today, once again climbed into the 80s for most...even Boston saw a high of 81. The air was also very humid today with dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s. The same airmass is hanging around tonight and a coldfront is advancing in from the west. At the moment there is a decent line of storms along it but much of ht e activity will weaken as it gets into New England late tonight. Nonetheless, the chances are there for a passing shower or thunderstorm late tonight and tomorrow morning. By afternoon drier air will be working in and the air will feel much better by tomorrow's finish.
Second half of the week will be dominated by an upper level cut-off low to our north. Pockets of cool air will rotate around it this will create an unstable airmass during the afternoons with the daytime heating and building cumulus will be seen sprouting up all over the place. Some of the towers will grow tall enough for a shower or two...especially over higher elevations and Northern New England.
Over the weekend, the cut-off will lift out and heights will be on the rise. The ridge won't be exceptional in fact some small shortwaves will ride up and over it into New England occasionally which could lead to a passing thunderstorm but they will be few and far between. The true highlights for the holiday weekend will be hot and humid with highs in the upper 80s...maybe even 90 under the blazing sun!
