A dip in the jet stream (trough) will persist over the Eastern United States for the next couple of weeks. The resulting weather for Southern New England will be pleasant most of the time. There is no extreme heat ahead, and we may not make it above 85° very often. Most days should feature highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. There is also not likely to be too much humidity, either. Lows will be relatively comfortable, and we should continue to save money by not using the air conditioning as often as we had to last year – and in most summers.
The tropics may come to life as a disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean develops into Bertha. If the disturbance intensifies into a tropical storm or hurricane, it will most likely stay well off the Eastern Seaboard in the middle of next week.
