Sunny days

WARMING UP

After another cool start in the 40s and 50s, get set for an August feel this afternoon. Highs will make it to the lower 80s in most towns. The Cape, South Coast, and some other local MA beaches will have pleasant 70s. The best part is that you have summery temperatures without summery humidity!

Humidity will sneak up a tiny bit tomorrow as dew points rise from the 50s in the lower 60s. Friday will also be the warmest day of the week with mid 80s in Metrowest. A weak disturbance will swing through in the afternoon with some passing clouds. I’m doubtful much, if any rainfall at all, reaches the ground.

WEEKEND IN VIEW

Excellent Fall weather continues. The mornings will be crisp and cool, so keep a jacket handy until 8 or 9 AM. Expect afternoon 80s with beach 70s and mostly sunny skies. Remember, most of the local beaches do not have lifeguards after Labor Day, so be careful if you’re heading to the coast. Waves around 2 feet, winds 5-10 mph, and the low risk of rip currents are in the forecast through the weekend.

WHEN WILL IT RAIN AGAIN?

A storm is expected to develop off the mid-Atlantic coastline next week. It has the potential to become a tropical cyclone. The deep moisture associated with that storm will be directed to the south and west of New England. By Thursday and Friday it may nudge into Massachusetts, but it’s arrival isn’t set in stone. We expect fluctuations in that forecast between now and then. Although the chance for rain comes back late next week, it’s still a rather iffy forecast.
