What a Stretch...
No getting around it, today was ugly...but we have gotten it out of our system and it's all up from here. It was the solid soaking we expected with most towns receiving in the half inch to an inch range and we've pretty much whittled it down to mist and drizzle. With that said, it's still plenty wet out there and with the front stalling, the coastline will stay wet most of the night. Ironically, while it's wet and misty in Boston just down the road a bit it is bright and sunny...you can almost reach out and touch the sunshine...and soon we will.
High pressure at the surface will anchor itself to our NE for the next several days. It's position will keep any and all rain away from New England but it will also keep that fresh NE wind blowing. Anytime we have a NE wind you have to be extra cautious because a wind direction like that blows cool, moist maritime air inland and that can trap clouds and promote them to form. In such pattern, clouds tend to form at night as the air temp sinks closer to the dewpoint in the lower levels and low clouds appear. After sunrise the air starts to warm, the low clouds slowly burn off only to potentially reform after sunset the next night. Determining whether or not low clouds will form is a very difficult task, but it's pretty much the only obstacle I see through the entire upcoming Father's Day weekend! This will truly be a great stretch with daytime highs reaching well into the 70s inland, even 80 by the end of the weekend and upper 60s to lower 70s at the coast. Sunshine will also be ample with the exception of any low clouds near the coast...especially over SE Mass.
