Long-Range Forecast – July 2
June is in the books as wet and a bit cool in Southeastern New England. July began with heavy thunderstorms, and there has yet to be a 90° day in the Providence area this year. In fact, 87° is the highest temperature to date at TF Green Airport. It will not be reach 88° on the 4th of July. Instead, it looks like it will be on the cool side with some clouds around. A passing shower cannot be ruled out as a weak disturbance passes out to sea south of Southern New England. Highs will be in the 70s, but the temperature could fall into the 60s with thicker clouds and a northeast breeze in the afternoon.
The weather will be summery, but not too hot, Sunday into early next week. The generally active weather pattern will return in the middle to late part of next week, and looking way down the road, it does not seem that there is a significant pattern change ahead. It’s possible we’ll make it into late July without a 90° day. There will be periodic rain chances from the middle of next week through the following week. The lion’s share of the rain may be south and west of our area, but there will most likely be at least a normal amount of rain in the next two weeks.
