Manchester Weather: 'Cooling' Trend on Tap This Week
And by "cooling," I mean it will only be about 90. But at least we'll get some rain!
Love it or hate it, the hot-and-humid Fourth of July weekend was a scorching reminder of all that we love about summer: barbecues, beaches, boats and backyard picnics.
What’s in store for us this week? According to the National Weather Service, a cooling trend is in the offing (although daytime highs will still be in the high-80s), with a chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms in the beginning of the week.
On Monday, there’s a 60 percent chance of heavy rain, and the rest of the week will see a mixture of sun and clouds with an ever-present chance of thunderstorms.
