 Happy July 4th and Independence Day!

Todays forecast is a perfect summer forecast, especially if you have plans near the beach or lake or on a river!

We are ahead of a cold front which is in NY and PA right now, this keeps us in the warm humid air for the day. Bright sunshine will allow temperatures to rise into the 80's with a limited sea breeze, confined to the Cape and Islands.

Today, there is the slight chance for an afternoon shower of thunderstorm, but it will not be wide spread as yesterday. Primarily between 4 and 8 pm.

Temperatures 84 in Boston, 81 at the immediate coastline and 86 inland. 78 on the Cape.

Tuesday - cold front pushes through by mid morning, but acts only to drop the humidity. It should remain dry. The air mass is still very warm, so it will be a few degrees warmer, but much drier in which it will feel more comfortable, a sea breeze will likely kick in after noon to cool down coastal locations.

Wednesday - Friday - typical summer pattern, slightly less humidity, chance for evening showers and Thunderstorms. It will be hot with highs in the upper 80s.

Less humid Tue and Wed, but with a warm air mass in place, night time lows will have a hard time falling especially in the urban heat island of Boston.
