Also watching a developing semi Sub Tropical Nor'Easter type storm developing off of North Carolina right now. This could bring cloud cover and enhance a few showers over southern Cape Cod later today and bring some windy conditions. (As a meteorologist, I love storms like this!!)

| Satellite forecast for 5 PM today. Clouds envelope the Cape and Southern MA. Scattered Thunderstorms over NH and VT. Semi Nor'easter south of Nantucket. |
Saturday, the best chance for rain and thunderstorms seems to be in the west and central part of the state. Enough of a coastal airmass (sea breeze) may set up to prevent thunderstorms from bubbling up along the immediate coast. Saturday will be the best of the weekend days with temperatures in the mid 80s and it will be humid.
Sunday offers clouds, even more humidity and areas of enhanced heavy rain and thunderstorms. Interestingly we are in this pattern where tropical air masses collide with some drier Canadian air and this allows for such heavy rains.
Cool, dry weather returns early next week.
Tropical Outlook
Again, the models are all over the place with a tropical cyclone. Last nights run shifted from having a hurricane off the coast of Maine to making landfall in Houston, TX. So nothing yet to be concerned about, but always of interest to watch. As I like to point out, the models are a guide to show you trends in the weather. So the trend now is that we are entering into the peak of hurricane season and a coastal area from TX to Canada could see a tropical storm in the next 7-10 days. History tells us that this is very possible.
What about Bob?
And 20 years ago today, hurricane Bob made landfall in Newport, RI, tracked over Boston and then made a second landfall in Brunswick, Maine. The last time a hurricane has directly struck New England.
