Low, not zero rain chances

11 hours ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

Rain chances are creeping back into the forecast for the next couple of days, but as we’ve been say for the past several days, no day is a total washout — especially for Thursday and Friday. While both bring the chance for a passing shower or storm most of the day will be dry. As the rain chances creep up, so will the moisture in the air. The humidity wasn’t bad today, but it was higher than yesterday.
Staying mild - Boston News, Weather, Sports

1 day ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

After topping out in the 70s yesterday, today was a bit cooler as we reached near 70° inland, with 60s on the coast line. The nice part about this time of year is even with cooler temperatures like we saw on the coast today, the sunshine goes a long way! The sun strength today is equivalent to July 30th!The mild air will be with us for the rest of the week and into the weekend. Unfortunately the rain chances will be increasing the next few days, but don’t fret – no day is a total washout.
Some promise ahead

After another damp and dreary day today, there’s some promise on the horizon! Showers will taper off before midnight, though fog and drizzle will be the story overnight into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we’ll decrease the clouds and we’ll see some sunshine through the second part of the day! That added sunshine will give temperatures a boost — up near 70° tomorrow afternoon. With more sun Thursday, temperatures should make the lower 70s.
Omega Block - Boston News, Weather, Sports

What’s with all the rain?! Well, we’re in a pattern right now, affectionately known as an Omega Block. It gets its name from the Greek letter Omega which looks like this:The current weather set up resembles that Omega symbol with an area of high pressure stuck between two areas of low pressure. The jet stream, as it navigates its way between the highs and lows, take the shape of Omega. The problem (or maybe good news) with this is it’s a blocking pattern which means we’re just stuck this way.
Rain chances going up

We have another dry day on tap for today, but it won’t be as warm as the last couple, especially on the coast. The good news is the wind will back down quite a bit from the last few days, but the lack of wind will promote a sea breeze which will keep the coast line significantly cooler. Those close to the water may not even make it to 60° this afternoon. Tomorrow is a warmer day once again but it will come with a small chance of a shower.
More sunshine, just cooler

2 weeks ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

Temperatures got close to 80° yesterday afternoon and the summer like temperatures hung around overnight. We’re waking up this morning to temperatures in the 60s (that’s our normal high this time of year). But with a cold front that moved through around sunrise, the colder air that’s inbound will counteract most of the sunshine we’ll see today. Skies will be bright once again, the breeze will be back, and it’ll still be a nice day — just cooler than yesterday.
Summer like today, cooler tomorrow

If you liked yesterday, you’ll love today. Temperatures will return to the 70s today, some of us will even knock on the door of 80°. While it’s calm this morning a wind will develop today as the warmth takes hold. It’s not a crazy windy day, but some gusts 25-30 mph are likely. Tomorrow is still a nice day with more sunshine, it’s just a cooler day. Temperatures will fall back to the upper 60s (which is still mild for this time of year — our average high is 61°).
Warm, quiet week in store

2 weeks ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

Not much to discuss today with bright blue skies and mild temperatures on tap for this Monday. Highs will climb to the low to mid 70s today — the average high temperature for today is 61°. Tomorrow will be a warmer day as the wind kicks up from the southwest. It’ll be a little gusty, which will help send temperatures well into the 70s for most, cooler on the Cape where that southwest wind will come off of those colder water temperatures.
Mild ahead of weekend rain

Mild temperatures and sunshine remains the story for the rest of the work week as temperatures continue to climb into Friday. Both today and tomorrow will feature sea breezes which will keep the coastline slightly cooler, but it should be a pretty nice couple of days all around the state, sea breeze or not. Inland, Friday looks to be pretty warm!Bright skies will be back today with a few passing clouds at times. Tomorrow is more of a partly cloudy day with a mix of clouds and sun.
Nice end to the week

Not much to say in the blog today with sunshine and decent temperatures for the next several days. The biggest thing the next few days will be the sea breeze. While not as dramatic today, it will be more significant for the day tomorrow and again on Friday. We’re dry through Friday, though we may see a passing shower Friday evening across southern New Hampshire. It’s a low risk, and the trend the last 24 hours has been to lower that risk even more. More widespread rain returns for Saturday.
