.SYNOPSIS...
An extended stretch of dry weather expected into early next
week. Seasonable temperatures with lower humidity levels this
weekend, but with a warming trend for early next week. Rain
chances return for the latter half of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
Key Messages:

* Dry weather with slightly below normal high temperatures
  through the 70s.

A large high pressure centered over MN and WI will extend all
the way east into southern New England. This will maintain dry
weather. Despite the slightly below normal high temperatures
today, still thinking seabreezes develop late this morning into
this afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
Key Messages:

* Dry weather continues through Sunday.

* Temperatures get closer to normal Sunday.

High pressure moves east tonight through Sunday. Light and
variable winds tonight, become light southerly Sunday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Key Messages:

* Dry/quiet weather through the end of next week

* Seasonable diurnal temperatures

High pressure will dominate the weather pattern for most of
next week. Expect dry/sunny conditions each day with increasing
diurnal clouds expected by mid-week. Both high and low
temperatures are forecast to be near the climatological normal
for early August.

However, on Monday and Tuesday temperatures will deviate
slightly above normal with highs in the upper 80s likely across
the interior. Winds will be light and variable through the week.
Overall, a quiet weather pattern with no impactful weather to
speak of.

The next opportunity for precipitation will be late next
week/early next weekend when some tropical moisture may make
its way up the east coast and increase rain chances in southern
New England. Confidence at this time range is low, so stay
tuned for further details.
