August 5th Update

I hope that you have enjoyed this spectacular stretch of weather over the past few days. It has actually been a little cooler than normal, but not many people are complaining after a hot pattern in the second half of July.

Friday looks like another great day with highs in the low to mid 80s under mostly sunny skies. Humidity will build by late in the day thanks to a southwest breeze. It will not be as comfortably cool Friday night. Lows will be in the mid 60s to near 70 Friday night.

An approaching frontal system will bring isolated to scattered showers and t-storms on Saturday. The temperature forecast is tricky because skies may be mostly cloudy for part of the day. The timing of the showers/storms is also questionable. Stray showers are possible in the morning, with a better chance for an afternoon thunderstorm. It does not look like there will be widespread rain. It will be very humid, with dew points in the low 70s. Highs will likely be in the upper 70s to low 80s at the coast, and low to mid 80s inland. The shower/storm threat ends around sunset.

Much drier air moves in on a northwest wind Saturday night and Sunday. It will be a great end to the weekend with highs in the mid 80s under mostly sunny skies. Nice weather continues early next week. Look for warm sunshine Monday and Tuesday. Highs will reach the 80s, and lows will be in the 60s. Muggier weather arrives in the mid to late workweek. There is a good chance the weather stays mainly or all dry through Thursday. The long-range outlook for next Friday-Sunday is for a better chance of showers as a slow-moving system enters the Northeast. It’s still a long way off, but the computer models have hinted at it for several days.
