The temperature is running slightly above normal in July with one week to go. Although this weekend will be somewhat cool and unsettled, the overall trend in the next seven days is for warmer weather to return to Southeastern New England. In fact, the hottest weather of the summer so far will likely arrive in the middle of next week. There could be a day or two in the mid 90s inland. It will be humid, too, so overnight low temperatures will probably not get below 70.
The relatively warm weather will continue into the first few days of August, but it will probably not be as hot as the middle of next week. It looks like a front may stall near the Eastern Seaboard in early August, and that could be the impetus for showers and thunderstorms. It’s also an area to watch for tropical cyclone development. Some models are hinting at something forming near the East Coast within the first week of August. It has been dry for the past week, but the next couple of weeks should feature near normal precipitation as the pattern gets more active. See the video for more.
