.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Breezy and comfortable this afternoon and Monday. A 
high risk of rip currents continues through this evening on south-
facing beaches. 

Full sun today as lingering smoke and haze finally pushes south of 
the region under deep northwest flow. Seeing much better air quality 
this afternoon as most of the lingering smoke remains aloft compared 
to yesterday. PM2.5 values remain elevated, generally in the 50-70 
ug/m3 range, which is still impactful for sensitive groups. Much 
cooler aloft today behind a strong cold front with 850 mb temps in 
the upper single digits to low teens. Should still be quite mild 
with mid-July sun angle and downsloping supporting highs in the 
upper 70s to lower/mid 80s. Other story today is the continued risk 
for rip currents along the south coast. Buoys show widespread swells 
between 4 and 7 feet from the waters S of Rhode Island to the 
entrance of the Buzzards Bay. Elevated swells continue through the 
rest of the day and help to keep the rip current risk high from 
Rhode Island to the Cape and Islands this afternoon and evening. 
Elsewhere, there is a moderate risk for rip currents That's the only 
fly in the ointment though. Not sure if today qualifies as the pick 
of summer 2026, but it's certainly in the running. Enjoy! 

It's a cool and pleasant night tonight as high pressure crests over 
the region. Mainly clear skies allow lows to cool into the mid 50s 
for most locations with strong radiational cooling. Weak southwest 
return flow becomes established on Monday as high pressure pulls 
offshore. The weak advection warms 850 mb temps to +11-12C 
translating to temperatures about 3-5 degrees warmer than today. 


KEY MESSAGE 2...Periods of rain, perhaps heavy at times possible 
later Tuesday into Wednesday. Higher confidence in a period of 
impactful marine weather during that timeframe. 

Confidence is increasing in another period of unsettled weather and 
even the potential for areas of heavy rainfall late Tuesday into 
Wednesday. A strong disturbance located in the left-exit region of a 
moderately strong (100-110 kt) jet approaches the region from the 
upper Midwest Tuesday afternoon. Closer to the surface, strong low-
level southerly flow advects copious amounts of tropical moisture 
into the region. By Tuesday afternoon, guidance shows PWAT values 
increasing to >2". Still seeing a signal for strong low-level 
moisture convergence over the region Tuesday and Tuesday night on 
global guidance suggesting the possibility for periods of heavy 
rainfall. Could even see some thunderstorms with elevated K-index 
values, though surface instability will likely be limited by dense 
cloud cover. NBM QPF probabilities show mean 24 hour rainfall totals 
of 1.25-1.75" with the highest probs of 24-hour total rains of an 
inch or greater over southeast New England, and even low to moderate 
(30-50%) probs of 2-inch 24 hr totals. Wind fields also improve too, 
but it's debatable if that translates to severe weather, as most of 
the machine learning progs don't offer much potential. By Wed, more 
instability type showers and storms are favored underneath the upper 
trough before it begins to pull away later Wed/Wed night.

Will also make a mention for mariners/beachgoers that southwest
winds pick up substantially Tue night and Wed; ensemble 34-kt 
wind progs out on the waters are in the 40-70% range so it's 
very possible gale watches could be needed in the coming days. 
Seas expected to build and become rough, reaching upwards of 12 
ft on the southern outer waters, so that could support a need 
for high surf headlines for south-facing beaches in the coming 
days too. 

KEY MESSAGE 3...Drying out Thursday. Mainly dry through next 
weekend. Near to slightly below normal temperatures.

Latest guidance suite was in reasonable agreement with the 
evolution of the overall synoptic pattern next week. That said, the 
usual timing and magnitude differences are present, leading to an 
average confidence in the forecast details.

A cold front may be lingering near the coast in the morning, before 
finally getting push well out to sea by a high pressure over the 
Midwest. This high pressure should then arrive by Friday and remain 
overhead through next weekend.

Any lingering morning showers Thursday should be offshore by 
afternoon. The dry conditions should prevail most of the time 
through next weekend. Not anticipating it to be overly humid, with 
temperatures near to slightly below normal.
