Mama mia, that's a little bit too far out... models are all over the place, can't really be trusted at that range. Especially considering it is summer.

If I were to take a guess now, I'd say one day wet and one day dry - as has been the pattern for a little bit. I'll post a more detailed outlook in 2-3 days so you're actually getting some more reliable info

EF1 tornado confirmed in North Haven, multiple microbursts reported

[Cambium]

That's what we've been waiting for! GFS12z showing shot after shot. Remember how nice Wednesday was? A below normal airmass will give us awesome days this time of year. (Top left image)

Unfortunately the bottom 2 are long range and could change but naturally each of these shots should be getting stronger and deeper south each time. Mornings will be cooler with the same shot of air now vs end of September. .

Always interesting seeing the length of the path in our state vs other regions... 500 yards is all you need for damage in a particular spot though. 110mph winds.

The microbursts I suspected for sure which had a longer damage path of 6-7 miles
