DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 15-19)
Your Sunday morning post has no real changes, so just updating basically the same forecast that was posted Saturday morning, and that is the unseasonable cold today including some scattered rain and sleet and a few pockets of freezing rain through this evening, a round of heavier showers sometime on Monday, and drier weather arriving later Monday night into Wednesday. A few details… Still looking for any freezing rain to be confined to mainly interior northern MA and southern NH, the heaviest rain on Monday to occur after many of the Boston Marathon runners have finished, and an upper low coming across the region Tuesday still bringing the risk of a little bit of unsettled weather. The middle of next week will feature a split with high pressure and fair weather Wednesday and an arriving low bringing unsettled weather Thursday. Updated forecast details…

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 20-24)
Active but mostly progressive pattern with another 1 or 2 low pressure systems bringing wet weather threats. Temperatures below normal.
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 25-29)
Transition to a more amplified pattern with slower-moving weather systems. Additional unsettled weather is likely to impact the region at some point during this period but there is a better chance of at least a brief warm-up especially prior to unsettled weather.
