Temperatures along with the humidity will be climbing through the middle of the week.
Today: Partly to mostly sunny, very slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm, highs in the low to mid 80s.
Tonight: Mainly clear, lows in the low to mid 60s south, near 50 north.
Tomorrow: Partly sunny, again the slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm, hot and humid, highs near 90 south, upper 80s north.
Tomorrow night: A few clouds with areas of fog toward dawn, lows in the low 70s south, upper 50s and low 60s north.
Thursday: Partly sunny, hot and humid. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms possible, especially north of the Mass. Pike, highs in the low 90s south, upper 80s north.
Discussion:
The Eastern United States is under the influence of a large area of high pressure. This is provide pleasant conditions to the region. Over the next few days this will shift off shore. As this happens our winds will turn around to the southwest and this will pump hot and humid air into New England.
Today will be our last comfortable day before humidity levels jump up. There will be a bit of upper level instability that will pass over New England this afternoon. This may help to set off a few isolated showers or thunderstorms this afternoon. However the lack of any significant moisture at the surface will severely limit this activity.
As we head into the tomorrow, temperatures will climb on the back side of that high pressure system and ahead of an approaching cold front. This front won't pass through New England until Thursday afternoon. It might make it close enough on Wednesday to set off a few showers and thunderstorms across the interior of New England on Wednesday afternoon, but again this activity will be very spotty in nature. Thursday will be our best chance of showers and thunderstorms as it looks like the cold front will arrive in the afternoon. Hot temperatures and high humidity will add fuel to the cold front and as a result some of the thunderstorms could be severe with high winds and large hail. Since tornadoes are on every one's mind I feel obligated to mention them in some way. Right now it's a bit too early to determine if conditions will be right for tornadoes to develop, should know more tomorrow.
Enjoy the warmth and thanks for reading!

Bye Bye Fog and Mist
Today should be last day we see this mist, drizzle and fog for at least 5 days, probably longer
Today: Morning clouds and fog then some hazy sun, showers and thunderstorms possible this afternoon. Some storms could be severe with high winds, small hail and heavy rain, especially in Southern New England, highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.
Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms come to an end in the evening, becoming partly cloudy, lows in the upper 50s to near 60 south, 40s north.
Tomorrow: Partly to mostly sunny, highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Tomorrow night: Mainly clear, lows in the 50s south, near 40 north.
Thursday: Partly sunny, slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm, highs in the 70s.
Discussion:
Say good riddance to the ocean influence that we've been dealing with for the past 2 weeks. A cold front is moving toward New England today, the combination of this and a strong sun will burn off the clouds. Once those clouds burn off, it will be warm and humid today and as a result, we should see a few thunderstorms develop. Atmospheric conditions are conducive to severe thunderstorms today, but these strong storms should be isolated in nature. Most of this activity should be restricted to Southern New England and probably south of the Mass. Pike.
The front will clear the region this evening, taking the showers and thunderstorms with it. After that, we are looking at much more seasonable and pleasant conditions, even if there will be a few showers around at times. Wednesday will be nice, plenty of sunshine and mild, coolest temperatures along the coast. Thursday should also be generally nice, though a few showers and storms may develop across the interior thanks to a low pressure system approaching from the west.
Further out into the week and into the weekend, it looks like it is going to be OK. The low pressure system that is approaching on Thursday will be around, but not significantly impacting the region all the time. Temperatures will be warm and it will be a bit muggy as well. There are going to be a few showers and thunderstorms around at times too. I'm not going to get too in depth beyond Thursday, but right now, the weekend doesn't look like a washout by any means.
Thanks for reading!
