Some of the models tried getting some better lapse rates in here late Saturday. Obviously that’s probably more of a now cast thing, but could give a little boost to storms if we can get sufficient mid level lapse rates.
Saturday will have showers and thunderstorms late in the afternoon in western mass and then spreading east after about 5-6 pm. Could be a few decent boomers around. Looks like another chance of showers and storms Sunday afternoon in SNE particularly closer to the coast with some convergence.
Monday through Wednesday next week looks a little on the cooler side and then I think gradually we may warm up a little after that.
Before that though, we may sneak in a low-grade heat wave especially inland. Typical downslope dandy dry stuff.
Next week there’s a propensity for troughing to our south that may even cut off. You’re not gonna get big heat from that either. You need to flush this pattern out and replace that trough south of us with some ridging and get a trough in the plains or especially Ohio Valley.
