Danielle Noyes breaks down an unsettled stretch for New England.

A big upper-level low spins nearby over the next several days, sending spokes of energy through the region. That means showers, downpours and embedded thunder at times, especially Wednesday and Thursday. Widespread severe weather is not expected, but a few storms may be stronger, and slow-moving downpours may lead to localized flash flooding.

Rainfall will vary, but man...

Danielle Noyes has your Tuesday 24-hour forecast for New England.

Scattered showers and thunder are mainly focused through the interior and western New England today, especially western Connecticut, the Berkshires and Vermont. Some downpours may linger into the evening with localized flooding possible where rain repeats over the same spots.

Farther east, including eastern Massachusetts and coastal areas, today is mainly dry with brea...

Danielle Noyes looks at the next two weeks of New England weather, taking us through the start of August.

The pattern turns more unsettled than much of summer so far. A cutoff low keeps pockets of rain, downpours and thunder around through the last few days of July, then another disturbance brings more shower and storm chances into the first weekend of August.

Temperatures run cooler than average to start, then rebound closer to norm...

Danielle Noyes has your Weekend Edition forecast for New England, and it’s a gorgeous one overall.

Saturday and Sunday both bring low humidity, light sea breezes, seasonable summer temperatures and mostly dry weather. Saturday has a small 20–30% chance for an isolated shower or storm, mainly through the interior from the Berkshires and southern Vermont into Connecticut, northern/central Rhode Island and perhaps southern ...

Danielle Noyes has your weekend outlook for New England, and it’s a beauty.

Saturday brings high, thin clouds, lower humidity, light sea breezes and highs near 80 at the coast, with mid-80s in parts of southern New England. A weak disturbance may trigger an isolated shower or quick downpour through the interior, but most communities stay dry.

Sunday looks fantastic across the board: mostly sunny, low humidity, light onshore bre...

Danielle Noyes has your Friday 24-hour forecast for New England.

A cold front brings hit-or-miss showers and thunderstorms today. Storms won’t be overly organized, but any thunderstorm can bring lightning, downpours and brief gusty wind. Southwestern New England has the best chance for a stronger storm late afternoon into the evening.

Humidity is still up today, with dew points in the 60s and 70s, but drier air gradually moves ...

Danielle Noyes breaks down the latest 1DegreeOutside Insights forecast, including the drought update, Friday thunderstorm threat, weekend details, beach/boating weather and next week’s heat.

The latest Drought Monitor does not include much of Tuesday’s heavy rain, so severe drought remains in parts of southeast New Hampshire and eastern Massachusetts. Friday brings scattered showers and storms with downpours and lightnin...

Danielle Noyes has your Thursday 24-hour forecast for New England.

It’s warm and humid today, with dew points in the lower 70s across southern New England and feels-like values in the lower to middle 90s for many. Actual temperatures reach the upper 80s to lower 90s, with a bit of relief along the immediate South Coast and Cape Cod.

Thunderstorm chances return this afternoon and evening. Storms won’t be widespread, but an...

Danielle Noyes has your Wednesday 24-hour forecast for New England.

Clouds depart, sunshine returns, and most communities stay storm-free today. It’s warm and a little humid, with highs mostly in the upper 70s and lower 80s, though parts of the Champlain Valley and northern Maine may reach the mid to upper 80s. Local sea breezes keep the coast a bit cooler.

Beach weather looks good, but rip current risk is elevated — mode...

Danielle Noyes breaks down the midweek turnaround after impressive southern New England rainfall totals, including some South Coast communities crossing 6 inches.

Now the pattern flips quickly: Wednesday brings sunshine, 80s for many, and a touch of humidity. Thursday turns sneakily hot and humid with highs near 90, dew points near 70, and scattered inland showers or storms. Friday stays hot and humid ahead of a cold front, with sca...

Danielle Noyes has your Tuesday 24-hour forecast as areas of rain and showers continue across parts of New England.

Rain amounts are highly variable: some communities see very little, while others - especially in southeastern New England — get repeated tropical downpours that may lead to localized flooding. With a storm center just south and east of New England, it’s essentially a summertime nor’easter, bringing co...

Danielle Noyes breaks down the next two weeks of New England weather through July 20.

The U.S. stays very warm overall, with a heat ridge building over the West and central U.S. New England sits on the edge of that pattern, which means we’ll see some warm to hot days, then cooler air trying to push back from eastern Canada.

The coolest day comes right away, then heat briefly builds around July 8–9 before temperatures retu...

Heat and humidity continue for July 4th, with heat index values near 100 in parts of southern New England.

Some fireworks displays may be fine, but another round ...

Friday brings another hazy, hot and humid day across New England with reduced air quality and heat index values soaring near 110° in spots.

Highs reach 95–100 for many, with the humidity making it feel even hotter. The greatest storm risk today is in western New England, though a few isolated storms may drift east. Any storm or downpour that develops may bring very heavy rainfall, lightning and brief damaging wind gusts.

For In...

Actual temperatures climb toward 100 in many areas, with records likely across parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Dew points in the 70s make the air feel tropical and soupy, and tonight brings little relief — Boston may not drop below 80.

Storms won’t be widespread,...

Danielle Noyes breaks down the July monthly forecast for New England and the country.

July starts with a major heat dome, but that extreme heat eases for New England during the second week of the month. Overall, July still looks warmer than average, though the second half of the month should be cooler compared to the intense heat that opened the month.

A more active “battle zone” sets up near New England at times, with co...

Danielle Noyes breaks down a historic heat setup for New England. Boston has only hit 100° 28 times in recorded history, and there is a chance the city approaches the century mark Thursday and Friday.

Storm chances are isolated Thursday and Friday, but any storm may bring ...
