7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 12-16)…
No big changes. Broad trough swings through the northeastern US over the course of the next several days. We transition from warm back to cool and go through a couple periods of showers during it, with the bulk of the wet weather occurring this evening and Saturday night, leaving much of the weekend rain-free.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers are possible any time this afternoon then more numerous showers arriving this evening. More humid. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s, cooler some coastal locations. Wind S to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy through evening with showers likely along with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Partly cloudy with patchy fog overnight. Lows in the 50s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

7:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 12-16)…
High pressure dominates today and it warms up nicely over the interior while the coast is modified by a sea breeze, and sunshine will be in full control as it was yesterday. A broad low pressure trough will pass through from west to east Friday through Monday, but it still appears that rainfall will be limited to 2 frontal passages, the first late Friday and Friday night, and the second Saturday night through the early hours of Sunday. This will leave much of the weekend rain-free. Lingering cold air aloft on the trough’s back side may still cause a few very light showers but at least some clouds on Monday. The air mass change will be quite evident between Saturday (which will be 70+ in most areas), and Sunday-Monday, which will struggle to reach 60 in many areas.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 60s coast, 70s to lower 80s interior, but will likely cool back somewhat within a few miles of the coast in the afternoon. Wind light S with coastal sea breezes developing.
TONIGHT: Clear evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows in the 50s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers especially late day and night. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Shower threat returns at night. Lows in the 50s. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s, coolest South Coast and Cape Cod.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny and windy. Lows middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs upper 50s to lower 60s.
MONDAY: Partly sunny and breezy. Isolated showers. Lows in the 40s. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 17-21)…
Fair May 17. Uncertain timing but rain risk somewhere in the May 18-19 period. Fair weather May 20-21. Temperatures slowly moderating.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 22-26)…
Fair May 22. Shower risk mid period. Fair late in the period. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 11-15)…
High pressure controls today and tomorrow. A broad low pressure trough will pass through from west to east Friday through Sunday, but it appears that rainfall will be limited to 2 frontal passages, the first last Friday and Friday night, and the second Saturday night through the early hours of Sunday. This will leave much of the weekend rain-free.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s but may cool to the 50s eastern coastal areas. Wind light N with coastal sea breezes developing.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light E shifting to S.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s interior, upper 50s to middle 60s coast but may cool back in the afternoon there. Wind light S with coastal sea breezes developing.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers especially late day and night. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Shower threat returns at night. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.

Fair May 21-22. Shower risk mid to late period. Temperatures near to above normal.

3:15AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 10-14)…
Broad but disorganized high pressure will dominate through Thursday, varying its center from southwest of southern New England today to north of New England Wednesday to southeast of New England Thursday. These varying positions of the center of high pressure will mean different wind directions daily, and this will have some impact on temperatures. On Friday, an approaching front from the west will bring cloudiness and an eventual shower threat. Most of this activity may occur Friday night and then get out of the day for a decent daytime Saturday between disturbances departing to the east and approaching from the west, the second of which would bring another round of showers Saturday night.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind W 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 40s. Wind light NW.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s but may cool to the 50s eastern coastal areas. Wind light N shifting to E.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light SE shifting to S.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s interior, upper 50s to middle 60s coast. Wind light S to SW except coastal sea breezes.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers especially late day and night. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Shower threat returns at night. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 15-19)…
Any showers should be gone by early on May 15 with fair weather returning and lasting into May 16. Chance of rain May 17. Fair weather returns May 18-19 as systems begin to move more progressively. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 20-24)…
Fair and warmer early to mid period followed by increasing rain risk later in the period.

1:55AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 9-13)…
Yes, the pattern is still in blocking-mode the next few days, but we’ve managed to get back to the fair weather side of the block, as we were in April. Other than a disturbance aloft passing by today and causing some clouds and a few isolated showers that should be mostly north of the forecast area, high pressure will generally be in control with fair weather through the middle of the week. I’m going to lean to the optimistic side and forecast the fair weather including a warming trend through Thursday. By Friday, an approaching front from the west should at least bring cloudiness and probably a shower threat.
TODAY: Sunshine with intervals of clouds. A slight chance of an isolated shower mainly in southern NH but possibly in northern MA. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusting above 20 MPH often.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows middle 30s to lower 40s. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusting above 20 MPH at times.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind W 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 14-18)…
A broad trough will traverse the northeastern USA during this period and will bring several disturbances and a couple fronts through the region. The weekend of May 14-15 will likely feature a few episodes of showers but there will likely be periods of fair weather as well with a slight cool-down overall. Another round of showers or rain may occur early next week, favoring May 17, as a cool-down continues.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 19-23)…
More progression is indicated in the pattern with an overall warmer trend but still a few episodes of passing showers as air masses change a couple times. Timing of systems is difficult this far in advance.

8:04AM

Happy Mother’s Day!

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 8-12)…
Changing weather today as a cold front pushes across the region and changes the conditions from clouds and intervals of sun early to overcast with many showers from mid morning through early afternoon from west to east, then clears it all out by the end of the day. Low pressure to the east and high pressure to the west brings a gusty breeze and an upper disturbance allows for some clouds and isolated showers Monday before high pressure dominates with fair weather Tuesday and Wednesday. The next system may return clouds and a risk of wet weather sometime on Thursday, which is faster than most models currently show.
TODAY – MOTHER’S DAY: Mostly cloudy morning through early afternoon – showers likely west to east during mid morning through early afternoon, lastly Cape Cod. Clearing west to east during the mid to late afternoon. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH early, then SW 10-20 MPH for a while before shifting to W with higher gusts.

Fair and cooler May 18-19. Fair and warmer May 20-22.

8:44AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 7-11)…

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 6-10)…
The final in a series of low pressure areas will cut off south of New England and weaken through Saturday, close enough for lots of cloudiness and a risk of showers, far enough away to allow a few breaks in the clouds. A cold front passing by on Sunday, Mother’s Day, will boot the weakening low out to sea, but itself will bring some showers, followed by improvement. High pressure will control Monday and Tuesday with fair weather.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Breaks of sun most likely in eastern MA and southern NH this morning. Scattered rain most likely southern MA and RI favoring midday and afternoon, but possible anywhere by late day. Highs upper 40s immediate eastern shores, 50s elsewhere.
