Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for The Pinehills, MA

KEY MESSAGES

- Dry conditions and comfortable summer temperatures continue through the start of the work week.

- Heat and humidity return midweek with possible heat headlines Tuesday and Wednesday.

DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry conditions and comfortable summer temperatures continue through the start of the work week.

High pressure begins to build over the region and becomes centered over New England later today, bringing a seasonable airmass into place over the next several days. Temperatures in the low to mid 80s and dewpoints in the upper 50s to low 60s will continue through the start of the work week. The drier air mass will also keep rain chances to near zero before moisture returns later in the week.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Heat and humidity return midweek with possible heat headlines Tuesday and Wednesday.

Mid-level high pressure ridging will center over the Central U.S., stretching into the Mid Atlantic through much of next week, bringing mostly hot and dry weather across the Northeast.
Hot temperatures in the low to mid 90s will return mid week with some locations possibly nearing 100 Tuesday and Wednesday. We may need to consider a period of heat headlines with dew points rising into the mid to upper 60s, which will produce heat indices in the upper 90s for most of the interior portions of the forecast area each afternoon.

Rain chances through the period will remain low with high pressure being in control. Models continue to show an amplifying upper-level trough toward the end of the week, which may bring increasing rain chances and cooler temperatures if that trend continues.
