DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 9-13)
I’m still kind of wrapping my head around my experience in northern VT yesterday, witnessing a total solar eclipse. I’ll share stories and a pic or two soon via the comments. But first, onto a quick outlook on our coming weather. No big changes in the short term. Today will feature fair weather but it’ll be cooler along the coast with high pressure to our north. A warm front will make a slow approach Wednesday with an overcast sky and eventually some light rainfall. This front will face a bit of a struggle but eventually will push through the region Thursday, a showery day with a warming trend from south to north. As low pressure tracks to our northwest and north, a cold front will move across the region from west to east Friday. Ahead of it, more mild and showery weather will occur. A wind shift will bring in drier air late Friday, with some clearing, but a trough rotating around the base of the low as it heads for eastern Canada will make Saturday cool and slightly unsettled with additional showers possible.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 51-58, coolest at north-facing and east-facing shores. Wind NNE 5-15 MPH shifting to E.
TONIGHT: Clouding up. Lows 41-48. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. Drizzle likely. Light rain possible. Patchy fog forming. Temperatures steady 41-48. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT / THURSDAY: Cloudy. Areas of drizzle and fog. Periodic rain. Temperatures may hold 41-48 southern NH and northern MA and rise to 49-56 to the south. Wind SE-S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Temperatures steady or may rise slightly. Wind S 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Cloudy with rain showers, some heavy, ending from west to east midday-afternoon. Breaking clouds later. Highs 58-65, except cooler South Coast. Wind S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W by late in the day.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain showers. Highs 45-52. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 14-18)
A little adjustment to the forecast here. Still expect fair weather during the day of April 14 then a disturbance to bring a rain shower chance that night and into at least a portion of Patriots day April 15, but not expecting a widespread rain event from that. A fair interlude follows, then more unsettled weather later in the period. Still many details to work out.
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 19-23)
Dry, milder early period. Unsettled weather may return later in the period with a cooling trend.
