HUMIDITY…
Not going away any time soon! Dew points in the upper 60s today dip into the low 60s late week… still sticky, just not AS muggy as it is right now. Humidity climbs again late weekend #WCVB pic.twitter.com/vl8WXX964Z

STORM CHANCES GO DOWN
Friday into Saturday as the tropical plume of moisture shifts offshore. Not completely storm free regionwide- but most stay dry. Upper-level troughing returns Sunday bringing the risk of t-storms back up. Drier and warmer for the 4th of July Tuesday #WCVB pic.twitter.com/yQcgnxHEqV
