Nice Few Days Ahead

Editor’s Note: This blog was written by 7News meteorological intern Tyler Hughes.Another hot, humid day is in the books for us – but a cold front dropping a some showers and thunderstorms through New England this evening means relief is in sight for tomorrow… from the humidity, at least. Tomorrow features a stationary boundary across southern New England that will keep a less humid, more comfortable airmass in place. The resulting downside is the risk of an isolated shower popping up along that boundary in the afternoon hours, but any shower would be relatively light and short-lived.Tomorrow will also be slightly cooler than it was today, with highs peaking in the middle 80s in metro Boston and the upper 70s and low 80s along the coast, Cape and Islands. The morning will see some smoky haze persisting, but it will begin to clear out around lunchtime, perfect for some afternoon sun.If you’re looking to soak in some of that afternoon sun on the beaches, youR...
