Sunshine will give way to some clouds late in the day as high pressure moves offshore and brings a south west flow of air into New England.  This will raise the dew points back into the mid 60s, so it will feel more humid today than yesterday. A line of showers and thunderstorms could develop in Western MA later today and reach the Worcester area by 7 PM and Boston by 9, however these should be diminishing as the sun sets.

Satellite image for 7PM tonight, clouds move in to Boston area. (Color indicates cloud temp/height - reds thunderstorms)

Radar for 7 PM tonight.  Line of thunderstorms extends from S NH into CT. Heaviest should remain south in CT.


Friday - a cold front gets hung up over New England and stalls. This will be the focus of scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. It will remain warm and humid.




Saturday - morning showers will give way to sunshine in the afternoon. Continued Warm.

Sunday and Monday - Strong cold front will push into the Northeast bringing in cooler air from Canada and the potential for some severe weather late on Sunday into Monday.

The weather maps next week begin to look very interesting in terms storms, fronts and hurricanes.  No threats at the moment, but it will be a busy weather week for sure. Of course I prefer to say the models are for guidance. They suggest what trends could be happening and are not exact. So with this, it is something to look at.
