Two low pressure areas will continue to be the dominant features for the balance of the week (through Saturday). The first one was responsible for the ribbon of heavy rain in the early hours of  Saturday, the few showers that popped up Sunday, and the more numerous showers over eastern New England Monday and Monday night. This low continues to have some influence today as the sun heating the ground has interacted with the chilly air aloft and popped more clouds. This time only isolated showers are possible, and if they occur it will be only through early evening. Most areas will not see these. This low pressure area, centered to the east of the region, finally moves away by early Wednesday but makes way for another one approaching from the west. We’ll hear from it first in the form of increasing clouds Wednesday afternoon, then some wet weather Wednesday night through Friday (not raining the entire time), and cool air, especially Thursday. This is a little different than how the current low has impacted the region, but moving away Saturday it will be somewhat similar to its cousin, with a few instability showers possible to start the Memorial Day Weekend. But as we get to the  middle and end of the holiday weekend, Sunday and Memorial Day Monday look much better, and warmer, as a westerly flow takes over.

Oh, Summer must be coming, because it’s an 8-day week ahead post! That means that a long weekend looms, and indeed it does – the first weekend of the Summer for many, the start of the tourist season, otherwise known as Memorial Day Weekend. Of course, we should not and will not forget the meaning of the holiday itself, which actually falls on May 30 but is celebrated on the last Monday of May. And on that day and every day we should remember all of those who have served our country. In this post, we’ll take a look all the way out through Memorial Day (May 26).

The Work Week: It’ll be a “low pressure work week”, maybe not in your job, but in the weather. The weather will be governed by 2 low pressure areas, one that sits and spins just to the east of New England with an upper extension over the region Monday and Tuesday, and that one getting out of the way for a second low pressure area that arrives from the west late Wednesday and hangs on through Friday. The first low will provide instability that will bring the chance of showers and a few thunderstorms both Monday and Tuesday. Widespread rains are not expected, but anybody could get wet at times especially Monday afternoon and a couple more times on Tuesday. Some places may escape much of the shower activity as it will be somewhat hit and miss. The second low will bring periods of rain as early as Wednesday night and lingering Thursday and Friday. Its exact position will determine how often rain occurs and how widespread it is, but it looks right now like the second system will deliver more widespread rain, though not particularly heavy, for the end of the work week.

The Long Weekend: It’s a long way off, from a forecasting standpoint, but the early call is that low pressure will continue to bother the region on Saturday, with a continued chance of some wet weather. With some luck it will be pulling off to the east with slow improvement. It is starting to look like a more westerly flow will bring drier and warmer weather for Sunday and Monday – something that will be monitored as the week goes on.

Don’t cancel your outdoor plans unless they are first thing Saturday morning in southeastern New England. Things are moving along and we salvage better than 75% of Saturday for much of the region, and it will turn out to be a beautiful day, as a ribbon of rain and embedded thunderstorms starts the day out especially eastern MA, southeastern NH, and RI, before it all shifts eastward offshore (lastly to depart Cape Cod), and midday/afternoon turn out wonderful – drying air, lots of sun, and mild!

Even  Sunday does not look terrible, though with some cooler air arriving aloft, the atmosphere will be a little more unstable, and a boundary may set up over eastern MA, RI, and southeastern NH during the day, with onshore wind battling a land breeze. This will lead to some developing clouds and possible pop up showers. But overall, the day does not look terrible.

Upper level low pressure centered east of the region Monday-Tuesday will keep it a little unsettled but we are not looking at all out rainy weather, just a risk of pop up showers both days. Things will likely move eastward  in the atmosphere by midweek so a new system from the west pushes in later Wednesday into late week with a better chance of more widespread showery weather.

Forecast for southeastern New England…

TODAY: Starts cloudy with rain and embedded thunderstorms ending west to east by mid morning, then clearing from west to east later morning through midday for a sunnier afternoon. Drying. Highs 60s Cape Cod and South Coast, 70s elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows upper 40s inland valleys to middle 50s urban centers and immediate coast. Wind light NW.

SUNDAY: Sunny into late morning. Becoming partly sunny midday and afternoon with isolated to scattered showers especially southeastern NH, eastern MA, and northern RI. Wind variable 5-15 MPH tending to be E near the East Coast and N elsewhere.

MONDAY & TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered mainly PM showers. Lows near 50. Highs in the 60s.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Chance of showers or light rain late day. Low 50. High 65.

THURSDAY & FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Periods of rain or showers. Lows around 50. Highs in the 60s.

6:42AM

The Thin Line: A warmer, humid southerly flow has overtaken southeastern New England and is being announced by extensive low cloudiness that has invaded the region in the pre-dawn hours. This is ahead of a cold front which will be moving very slowly across the Northeast during the next few days, through Saturday. A ribbon of rain in a fairly thin line will accompany this front but will probably not get into this area until Friday night and Saturday, so leading up to that will be lots of clouds, but also times of less cloudiness (this afternoon and evening and possibly again at times Friday especially eastern areas). It will also be on the warm and humid side, except cooler along the South Coast where winds come across cooler ocean waters.

The Wide Swirl: Broad upper level low pressure drifting southeastward from the Great Lakes will cross New England then sit and spin just south and east of the region from the end of the weekend into the middle of next week. This spells an unsettled and somewhat cooler pattern. Though it does not look like days on end of rain, it does look like there will be a risk of shower activity each of the days.

Forecast for southeastern New England…

TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny, some areas may turn mostly sunny at times later. Highs 60s South Coast, 70s elsewhere. More humid. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Mostly cloudy overnight. Patchy fog. Lows near 60.  Humid. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy, still some intervals of sun possible. Slight chance of a shower. Highs 60s South Coast, 70s elsewhere. Humid. Wind S 10-20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Showers and possible thunderstorms arriving from west to east. Humid. Lows around 60. Wind S to SE 10-20 MPH and gusty.

SATURDAY: Cloudy. Showers and possible thunderstorms with locally heavy rain traversing the area west to east in the morning then periodic lighter showers thereafter. Humid. Highs in the 60s. Wind SE to S 10-20 MPH.

SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. A daily risk of showers. Isolated thunderstorms possible. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s, some upper 50s coast.

Spring is the most volatile season in New England. The mix and battle of lingering cold ocean water, strong sunshine heating the land, lingering pockets of cold air aloft, moist ocean winds, drier west winds, post-script Winter air masses still sneaking in from Canada at times, and the first pushes of early Summer heat trying to invade from the south all combine to result in a variety of weather. Sometimes things move along, and sometimes they bog down when the pattern blocks up, and we can be caught on the good weather side, or the bad weather side of a stubborn pattern. Basically anything can happen here in the Spring. We already saw a drastic change between Monday and Tuesday, with Summertime warmth being replaced by ocean chill across southeastern New England courtesy a back-door cold front. The impact of course was greater near the coast, though even areas that held onto some sun were considerably cooler Tuesday than on Monday.

The next couple days will feature a turning of wind from east to south, increasing humidity, and a battle between a high pressure ridge center along and off the East Coast with an approaching low pressure trough from the west. It will take a few days for the trough to finally push eastward far enough to bring its ribbon of wet weather into this area. It should finally do so by late Friday, lingering into if not through most of Saturday. Then, as is often the case in  Spring, things look like they will want to bog down and an upper level low pressure area will evolve nearby, keeping the weather on the unsettled side into early next week.

Fantastic Mother’s Day in progress, and I’d like to wish all moms a Happy Mother’s Day! A nice dry and mild westerly wind makes this day great, the only real drawback being a high tree pollen count.

For the week coming up, many changes in store, from a Summer preview to a return to ocean chill to an increase in humidity then a turn to wetter weather. I believe it plays out like this:

Southwesterly flow as high pressure slips offshore Monday, bringing warmth and increasing humidity. While one cold front approaches from the west, a back-door cold front will be charging down from the north northeast and will enter the region at night as high pressure builds across eastern Canada. This will bring in a much cooler northeast wind by Tuesday, which may be as much as 30 degrees cooler than Monday in some areas. When we get to midweek (Wednesday-Thursday, the wind will start to turn more to the south, transporting warmer and more humid air back into the region. But as this takes place, the atmosphere is going to begin to develop a block, so that when a trough of low pressure arrives on the East Coast at the end of the week it will likely cut off and get stuck for a while, and we in southeastern New England will probably end up on the unsettled side of it. It remains to be seen how this will play out exactly and the forecast will be fine tuned as the week goes on.

THIS AFTERNOON: Sunny. Highs in the 70s, cooler some coastal areas. Wind W 5-15 MPH, few higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs upper 60s South Coast to lower 80s interior MA and southern NH. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms evening. Cloudy with patchy fog and drizzle overnight. Lows around 50. Wind SW 5-15 MPH early, shifting to NE 10-15 MPH from northeast to southwest across the region overnight.

TUESDAY: Cloudy. Patchy drizzle. Highs 50-55 except 55-60 interior MA. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Low 50. High 65, cooler coastal areas.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Low 55. High 70, cooler South Coast.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

6:08PM

Clouds dominated Friday, along with some areas of fog, drizzle, and a few showers. This is because warm air from the southwest is overrunning cooler air at the surface. In southeastern New England, we’ve been on this cooler side of a boundary for a few days, and as is typical in Springtime, chilly ocean water and northwesterly upper level winds combine to keep the warm air from making a big push into the region. The funny thing is, we will see the warm front finally push through Saturday, but plentiful low level moisture may never allow for complete clearing. What we will have to wait for will be a cold front that will sweep everything offshore and introduce drier air for Sunday – Mother’s Day. But alas, the air behind this “cold” front is really not cold, so Sunday looks like a stunning day with lots of sunshine and fairly warm air (except for some coastal locations which will be impacted by the adjacent chilly ocean water).

Looking ahead a little, next week starts with a preview of Summer on Monday as we briefly get into a southwest flow with more humid air. But it is not likely to last, as a boundary to the north pushes southward, aided by high pressure building over eastern Canada. This boundary will come through from northeast to southwest as back-door cold front by early Tuesday, making the middle few days of next work week on the grey and cooler side and pushing the summery air away for a while.

Detailed forecast for southeastern New England…

TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of fog and drizzle. Slight chance of showers before midnight. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms after midnight. Lows in the 50s. Wind shifting E to SE around 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, little activity in the afternoon, and a chance of additional showers and thunderstorms evening. Highs from near 60 South Coast to the 70s interior eastern MA and southern NH areas. Wind SE shifting to SW and increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with lingering showers early followed by clearing later. Lows in the 50s. Wind SW shifting to W 10-20 MPH then diminishing.

SUNDAY – MOTHER’S DAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 60s immediate coast, 70s most locations, may touch 80 interior valleys. Wind W 10-20 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Low 51. High 65, cooler coast.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Low 52. High 64.

7:32AM

Warm front takes the next 2 days to push across the Northeast. No big changes to previous forecast except to slow down the timing a little bit and keep clouds and a shower threat longer into Saturday from the warm front. Sunday looks like the pick of the weekend – a great Mother’s Day. Taste of Summer early next week before we go the other way again as a trough from the west pushes a ridge along the East Coast out of the way.

Forecast for southeastern New England…

TODAY: Sun filtered at times by high clouds then blotted out at times by middle clouds to the west late. Highs 60s, upper 50s coast. Wind light SE.

TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows around 50. Wind light SE.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Low 53. High 72.

SUNDAY – MOTHER’S DAY: Partly cloudy. Low 55. High 76.

MONDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers/thunderstorms at night. Low 58. High 80.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Low 50. High 70.

WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Low 51. High 68.

10:11PM

For the next 3 days, we’ll be on the cool side of the jet stream while a front sets up to the southwest of New England, at first far enough away to cause only occasional high cloudiness, eventually close enough to bring heavier clouds and a chance of some wet weather.

Then it looks like we’ll be in for at least 3 days on the warmer side of the jet stream as the warm front lifts through by early Saturday. As high pressure ridging in the upper levels presses eastward toward the East Coast, it will be hard to pull any chilly air back into the region from Canada, so a cold front passing by Saturday night will not have much of an impact other than to bring the chance of showers and thunderstorms. This may repeat again by later Monday, with fairly mild air likely to hang on even through Tuesday when another cold front has pushed through.

Forecast for southeastern New England…

OVERNIGHT: Clear. Lows ranging from the middle 30s in interior valleys to 40s elsewhere. Wind light NW.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny but sun may be filtered at times by some high cloudiness. Highs in the 60s except holding in the 50s at the coast. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.

7:23AM

Upper level low departs slowly to the east today-Tuesday and though we’ll be on the dry and cool side of it there will be enough cold air aloft and sunshine warming the ground to continue to pop some clouds and a slight chance of passing showers.

Wednesday, that’s gone, but a warm front approaching from the southwest sends increasing high to mid level clouds into the region, turning a day that starts out bright into one the ends less so. Lots of clouds will probably be with us for the second half of the week, and eventually some wet weather, as warm air from the southwest overrides cooler air hanging tough in southeastern New England. Will that warm air ever get in here? Eventually, but it may take until sometime over the weekend to complete the job.

May has come ’round. And it’s the month when the landscape shifts from looking like Spring to looking like Summer, as trees that have not already started to leaf-out will do so. Flowers are already out in most areas, including tree blossoms which have been coloring the landscape for a week or so now, earlier to the south and more recently to the north. Of course along with all the blooming comes allergy problems for some people, and that will be the case for much of the month and into June with especially tree pollens.

As for the weather itself, a broad trough of low pressure will take 3 days to pass through England (Friday through Sunday), so clouds will be plentiful and there will be a daily risk of rain showers.

Next week looks dry, starting cool then moderating a little, with a broad westerly flow dominating the weather in southeastern New England.

Forecast details…

FRIDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Rain showers SE MA through mid morning. Slight chance of rain showers in the afternoon. Highs in the 60s. Wind W 10-20 MPH.

7:30AM

Rain won the battle about 12 hours earlier than I expected, so changing today’s forecast to wetter for most areas (obviously). Still may be some rain-free periods as well, just not as much of a battle left to fight. Rest of discussion is essentially the same.
