It doesn’t look like Wednesday’s thunderstorm risk is anything like this past Sunday – the disturbance mostly comes through at night and that limits severe storm potential. Nonetheless, Matt says Wednesday will feature increasingly warm and humid air that breaks quickly for week’s end.
Tonight’s Weather
We’re in a break between systems. One storm has moved east, and the next disturbance is coming in from the west. Overnight, we’ll see a few showers in northern and central New England, but nothing significant. Low temperatures will drop to the 60s for most areas, around 70°F in Metro Boston and Cape Cod. A southwest wind will begin tonight and continue through Wednesday.
Wednesday: Warmth and Humidity Return
- Temperature and Humidity: Expect temperatures almost entirely in the 80s, with southern New England pushing 90°F. Humidity will steadily rise throughout the day.
- Severe Weather Threat: While there is a severe weather threat, it’s different from typical daytime events. Scattered severe storms are expected in New York and Pennsylvania during the day. For New England, the primary threat will be overnight, particularly in southeastern areas after midnight into early Thursday morning. There may be enough wind in the atmosphere to produce a severe storm in parts of southeastern New England.
Thursday: Clearing and Cooling
- Morning Showers: Any rain from overnight will clear out by mid-morning.
- Temperature and Humidity: Highs will reach the 70s to lower 80s, with dropping humidity, turning into a pleasant day.
Friday: Ideal Summer Weather
- Temperature: Mostly in the 70s.
- Conditions: Low humidity and light, variable winds with sea breezes, making for very comfortable weather.
Weekend Outlook
- Saturday: Looks good for most of the day, with temperatures in the 70s. Showers may creep in by the evening as a disturbance approaches from the Catskills.
- Sunday: Elevated chance of showers late in the weekend. Check the 14-day forecast in our app for more details.
