Were getting closer and closer to the peak of hurricane is season which typically happens as we approach sure enough its pretty active, and we have been tracking earl, now a Tropical Storm pushing through mexico and a lot of the watches and warnings have been discontinued with a it is going to bring Copious Amounts of moisture into the region and were going to see some areas in mexico pick up about a foot to 18inches of rain as we head on through the weekend. So still could cause a lot of that. Speaking of that kind of moisture, doesnt look like its going to be headed up our way. Doesnt get sucked into our jetstream so that unfortunately means were gonna continue the dry stretch that weve been dealing with, and speaking of dry, we talking about the Drought Monitor which was updated this morning. The current rainfall deficit in boston and worcester, as well as concord, over 7inches. And we are seeing a severe drought for the area shaded in orange. It has been pushed further south and place for parts of the cape as well as marthas vineyard. This is gonna have some longterm impacts, especially for farmers and as we head towards the crop, towards fall, unless we get some significant rain and doesnt look like well see that at least in the next seven days. There is however the chance of a few showers and thunderstorms as we head into our saturday. Otherwise, itll be fairly dry. Great for any summer activities but not good for our lawns and gardens. High pressure with sunshine continuing to keep us dry overnight tonight. But its this cold front out to the west. You can see it right here seeing some showers ahead it. That will be pushing eastward towards our region for the weekend. Ahead of it warm and humid air. As the air has been very comfortable, thanks to this area of high pressure, youre gonna start to notice the mugginess return throughout the day tomorrow and really on saturday. Current conditions now 60s and 70s. Clear skies out there. Its gonna be a comfortable night for sleepin windows. Could see a few areas of fog, otherwise wake up to sunshine and the s those temperatures once again well into the 80s if not near 90 in some parts of the Merrimack Valley as well as northern Worcester County into parts of southern new hampshire. Interior locations likely going to the to see the holtest conditions. Winds out of the southsouthwest. Temperatures cooler for the cape and islands because it will be blowing over the cooler he water temperatures. But the water temperatures still in the low to mid70s. Fantastic. Waves running 1 to 2 feet so the that high tide is just before 2 00 in boston. Not a bad night too for pearl jam. Looking pretty fantastic for that forecast. Its gonna a hot day with scattered clouds developing in the afternoon but youll notice the clouds increasing overnight friday into saturday, waking up to much muggier air, and we could see a spot shower the at anytime as we head out ahead this cold front that will develop some showers and storms as we head towards the lunch hour and any of the afternoon and evening. Cloud cover that will fuel the threat of some of these storms becoming strong to severe. This front doesnt look to clear the area until we head to the evening hour. The risk continues through the evening and even through sunset for parts of the cape and islands. You want to keep an eye to the sky. The Storm Prediction Center actually put the majority of southern new england in that marginal threat to see an isolated, strong to severe storm with that main threat being damaging winds as well some heavy downpours. Of rain but with any thunderstorms we could see up to an inch bi which is needed for this area. Once the front comes on through, less humid air comes through for sunday, probably the pick of the weekend and as we head through early next week, it dries out once again and turns hot late week with a chance of showers and storms Late Wednesday into thursday.
