8:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 4-8)
A frontal boundary lingering nearby and a passing disturbance keeps rain showers scattered in the region this morning before a little push of high pressure from the north sends drier air into the region this afternoon, not really clearing the sky too much but ending the rain shower threat. Now there remains some bad news / good news regarding this pattern. The bad news is the parade of weather systems continues for now and that sends the next wet weather system toward the region for Sunday, although the most significant rainfall from this wave of low pressure will fall to the south of I-90 (The Mass Pike), while to the north the period of rainfall may be of somewhat shorter duration. And then a bit of a change. High pressure from Canada slides down into the region Monday, which is going to be a very nice spring day. The sinking of high pressure to the south and the approach of a cold front from the northwest may sound like “uh oh here comes more rain” upon first read but it’s actually going to help create a fabulous day for most of the hours of it, the clouds and threat of rain showers probably holding off until at least the very end of the day, if not at night, then progressing northwest to southeast across the area. Another Canadian high pressure area is expected to bring cooler but again fair weather for the end of this period.
Forecast details…

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 9-13)
We’re seeing a shift to less frequent systems while still having an active pattern. Wet weather threat comes late May 9 and May 10 from a broad low pressure area. A minor system may threaten at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 14-18)
Feeling the medium range models don’t have a great handle on the pattern evolution. For now I’m on the lookout for a cut off low somewhere but uncertain as to whether it happens at all, and if so, how it impacts our weather. Will re-evaluate this again tomorrow. Initial feeling is that we start this period dry, end it dry, and see some wet weather in between.

7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 3-7)
I often profess my contentment with any kind of weather, but I know many of you are tired of hearing about unsettled weather, so I’ll keep this forecast short, although, for you, it’s not all bad news. There are some nicer days starting to show up again in the forecast. But first, another unsettled and cool one today, brief improvement Saturday, downhill again Sunday as another low pressure wave passes by, and then 2 better days to start next week as high pressure settles in and pushes the unsettled weather away to the south.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Patchy drizzle. Rain showers arrive west to east this afternoon. Highs 47-54. Wind light E to SE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Patchy drizzle evening. Rain showers likely. Slight chance of thunderstorms overnight. Lows 42-49. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Rain showers ending west to east early to mid morning. Highs 52-59 coast, 60-67 interior. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain overnight. Lows 45-52. Wind N to E up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Highs 52-59 except cooler coast. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Chance of drizzle. Lows 45-52. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 60-67, except 53-60 Cape Cod. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind light W.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 55-62 Cape Cod, 63-70 other coastal areas, 70-77 interior. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 8-12)
Transitional pattern gets underway here but not exactly sure how it evolves yet. I think this 5-day period may feature a westerly flow and still a couple unsettled weather systems coming through, but on the weak side with limited rainfall and more seasonable temperatures overall. Fine tuning to do…

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 13-17)
Still watching for the potential for a spring block with a cut-off low somewhere and still too much uncertainty on if/when/where to be sure how the weather turns out during this period. Leaning toward unsettled first half, drying second half of period. Much fine tuning to do…

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 2-6)
We’ll spend this entire period on the cool side of a frontal boundary, with waves of low pressure bringing unsettled weather for much of it. Although it won’t rain nearly the entire time, it will often be cloudy. The best chance to sneak in some sunshine is Saturday, and it may improve more significantly by Monday as high pressure pushes in from Canada.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog and drizzle. Periods of rain, favoring northern MA and southern NH. Highs 46-53. Wind light NE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Periods of rain/drizzle overnight. Lows 40-47. Wind light NE.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Chance of drizzle. Lows 45-52. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 60-67, cooler Cape Cod. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 7-11)
Unsettled pattern overall but hard to tell which days stand the greatest chance of wet weather at this point. Temperatures trend milder.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 12-16)
Will have to watch the pattern which may try to evolve into a typical spring block, but that could put SNE in nicer or continued unsettled weather, depending on configuration. Too early to tell.

6:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 1-5)
May gets underway with a break between wet weather systems today as high pressure has enough influence to keep the region dry, although cloudiness will dominate. A couple more waves of low pressure coming along and passing south of the region will bring periods of wet weather Thursday and Friday. Another one may impact the region sometime over the weekend, with the leaning toward Sunday at this time.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Partial sun at times, but mainly cloudy. Highs 55-62, coolest coast. Wind light variable
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of light rain/drizzle late evening and overnight. Lows 45-52. Wind light variable to NE.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain/drizzle morning. Temperatures steady 45-52. Wind light NE.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 45-52. Wind N to E 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 52-59 except cooler coast. Wind E 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 6-10)
Unsettled pattern overall but hard to tell which days stand the greatest chance of wet weather at this point. Temperatures trend milder.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 11-15)
Will have to watch the pattern which may try to evolve into a typical spring block, but that could put SNE in nicer or continued unsettled weather, depending on configuration. Too early to tell.

7:14AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 30-MAY 4)
Back to the dominant unsettled weather pattern for the next 5 days with waves of low pressure keeping clouds and occasional wet weather around. We do get breaks, like tomorrow, which will be mostly dry with some sunshine as well, and possibly part of Saturday, which may see stronger high pressure push the wet weather to the south for a time.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Periods of rain morning. Highs 48-55. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 55-62, coolest coast. Wind light variable
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of light rain/drizzle. Lows 45-52. Wind light variable to NE.

SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs 53-60. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 5-9)
Unsettled pattern overall but hard to tell which days stand the greatest chance of wet weather at this point. Temperatures start out below normal then trend milder.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 10-14)
Another boundary-to-the south, cooler and somewhat unsettled period is possible here. Low confidence forecast. The pattern can break at any time as model guidance tends to not see that coming.

6:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 29-MAY 3)
Today will be the nicest day of the next 5, with high pressure in control, but in the pattern we are in, it won’t last, with clouds already arriving later in the day, and wet weather tonight into Tuesday morning, as a small area of low pressure crosses the region west to east. A small bubble of high pressure brings some clearing Tuesday night into early Wednesday as May begins, but we’re back in the dank tank again later Wednesday through Friday as a frontal boundary sits to the south and waves of low pressure ripple along it, keep us cool and damp.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunny, fading behind high clouds later. Highs 55-60 coast, 60-65 interior. Wind NW 5-15 MPH becoming light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Clouding over evening. Cloudy overnight with a chance of rain. Lows 40-47. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain morning. Highs 48-55. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind light NE.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny morning. Mostly cloudy afternoon. Chance of light rain late. Highs 55-62, coolest South Coast. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of light rain/drizzle. Lows 45-52. Wind light variable to NE.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain/drizzle. Highs 48-55. Wind light NE.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain/drizzle. Lows 40-47. Wind light NE.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain/drizzle. Highs 48-55. Wind light NE.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 4-8)
High pressure may sneak in for a nice May 4 before low pressure brings more wet weather for May 5. Clearing and a quick cool shot behind that for May 6 and a warming trend with some cloudiness at times for May 7-8, eventually a risk of rain showers by May 8.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 9-13)
Another boundary-to-the south, cooler and somewhat unsettled period is possible here. Low confidence at this time.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 28-MAY 2)
Weak low pressure moves rapidly across the region today, with its track suppressed slightly to the south which will limit rainfall in areas north of the Mass Pike, although to the south it won’t be too significant a rain event either. A similar system comes along with the rain timed for the first 12 hours of Tuesday. High pressure tries to build in for a break on May 1 but the boundary nearby again by the end of the period means additional risk of cool and unsettled weather.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Clouding over. Rain arrives west to east midday through afternoon. Highs 50-57. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Cloudy evening with rain ending west to east. Clearing overnight. Lows 35-42. Patchy frost. Wind variable 5-15 MPH becoming N.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 55-60 coast, 60-65 interior. Wind NW 5-15 MPH becoming light variable with sea breezes.
MONDAY NIGHT: Clouding over evening. Cloudy overnight with a chance of rain. Lows 40-47. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain morning. Highs 48-55. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind light NE.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 55-62, coolest South Coast. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 48-55. Wind light NE.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 3-7)
Wave of low pressure passes just to the south with a wet/cool day possible May 3 then low pressure departs for a dry but cooler May 4-5 weekend. More wet/cool weather possible about May 6 before it warms up a little at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 8-12)
Overall pattern doesn’t change much, temperatures cooler than average overall with a risk of a few episodes of wet weather.

2:16AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 27-MAY 1)
In the pre-dawn hours of today, numerous rain showers and embedded thunderstorms will be tapering off from southwest to northeast, and then
low pressure departs today, leaving behind blustery conditions with lots of clouds and a slight risk of a passing instability rain shower. Another low pressure area races out of the Great Lakes and across southern New England by late Sunday with some generally light rainfall, but the air may be cold enough toward the end of the event to cause the precipitation to mix with snow northwest of Boston before ending. High pressure moves in for the one and only fair weather day of this 5-day period on Monday, which can only mean unsettled weather returns as a frontal boundary sets up shop in the region Tuesday and Wednesday to end April and begin May.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated rain showers. Highs 50-57. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, gusting as high as 30 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clearing evening. Increasing clouds overnight. Lows 38-45. Wind W 10-20 MPH early, diminishing thereafter.
SUNDAY: Thickening overcast. Rain arrives west to east midday through afternoon. Highs 50-57. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy evening with rain, may mix with snow north and west of Boston before ending. Clearing overnight. Lows 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH becoming N.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 55-60 coast, 60-65 interior. Wind NW 5-15 MPH becoming light variable with sea breezes.
MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 40-47. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 48-55. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind light NE.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 48-55. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 2-6)
The boundary between Canadian chill and southeastern US warmth will be nearby early period with cool/damp weather, then low pressure may get just east of the region and pull down some unseasonably chilly air for the May 4-6 period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 7-11)
Some temperature recovery is likely but additional unsettled weather is also expected as the overall pattern doesn’t change that much.

9:02AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 26-30)
The final 5 days of April, a month that has been frequently unsettled but mild, will continue the unsettled pattern but start to tilt the temperature scale to a lower level as we see cooler weather overall. The unsettled weather will be here today in the form of warm frontal rain morning and midday and cold frontal showers and possible thunderstorms later today and especially tonight. As low pressure intensifies while moving into eastern Canada, the back side will bring blustery weather for Saturday with a gusty wind, cool air, and although most wet weather will be gone pre-dawn, there still may be a passing shower triggered by cold air aloft. Often times after a day like that, high pressure would settle in for nice weather the next day, but not this time. Another, albeit smaller, low pressure area will come racing along for more unsettled weather Sunday, and it may end up cold enough Sunday night before the precipitation exits that it may end up mixed with some frozen stuff in areas north and west of Boston, especially higher elevations. This will then lead to the only really nice day in the 5-day forecast period, Monday, which will feature plenty of sun which will feel nice even though the air will be on the cool side. A warm front will be moving in by Tuesday with more clouds and potential wet weather.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain morning and midday. Isolated to scattered rain showers afternoon. Highs 48-55. Wind light SE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Possible thunder. Temperatures rise to 53-60. Wind S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Isolated rain showers. Temperatures steady 53-60. Wind W to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts possible.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 42-49. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing.
SUNDAY: Clouding over. Rain likely from mid afternoon on. Highs 55-62. Wind variable 5-15 MPH becoming SE.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy evening with rain, may mix with snow north and west of Boston before ending. Clearing overnight. Lows 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH becoming N.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 55-60 coast, 60-65 interior. Wind NW 5-15 MPH becoming light variable with sea breezes.
MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 40-47. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 48-55. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 1-5)
The boundary between Canadian chill and southeastern US warmth will be nearby. This is an unsettled pattern and for this area likely near to below normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 6-10)
Little change to the overall pattern of DAYS 6-10 to start, then may try to reverse and go milder and less unsettled.

7:15AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 25-29)
High pressure brings great April weather today with mild temperatures except for the typical cooler coastal areas due to a sea breeze. Unsettled weather returns during Friday as a low pressure area approaches from the west, bringing a warm front through during the morning and midday followed by a cold front during the night and early Saturday. The upper level trough driving this system looks like it may be in no hurry to get out of here, prolonging showery weather well into Saturday, along with gusty wind and chilly air. And just as that system finally exits, another will arrive on its heals Sunday, although that particular disturbance will be smaller and may get pushed somewhat to the south, so the coverage of rainfall may be less. High pressure returns with more nice weather by Monday.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-62 coast, 62-69 interior, but cooling back especially coastal areas afternoon. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 48-55. Wind light SE.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. A period of rain morning. Isolated rain showers afternoon. Highs 55-62 coast, 62-69 interior occurring late in the day. Wind SE 5-15 MPH shifting to SW with higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Possible thunder. Lows 45-52. Wind S 10-20 MPH shifting to SW.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain showers. Highs 52-59. Wind W to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts..
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 42-49. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Clouding over. A period of rain or showers possible. Highs 56-63. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain, may mix with snow north and west of Boston before ending. Lows 35-42. Wind variable 5-15 MPH becoming N.
MONDAY: Clearing. Highs 55-60 coast, 60-65 interior. Wind NW 5-15 MPH becoming light variable with sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 30-MAY 4)
The boundary between Canadian chill and southeastern US warmth will be nearby. This is an unsettled pattern with uncertain temperatures. Details unknown until much closer to these days.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 5-9)
Little change to the overall pattern of DAYS 6-10 is expected during this time.

7:35AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 24-28)
A cold front moved through the region overnight with more wet weather, and some low level moisture is trapped in the region early this morning, but a drying trend will be underway soon, and later today through Thursday will be decent as high pressure takes over the weather. But as advertised, the next low pressure area will be quick to move in and bring more wet weather Friday to early Saturday, leaving behind drier but blustery conditions for Saturday. The next unsettled weather system arrives Sunday but does not look too impressive right now.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy start with areas of fog and drizzle, then clearing. Highs 61-68. Wind light variable early then W increasing to 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 60-67, except cooler Cape Cod. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 48-55. Wind light SE.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Rain showers likely from mid morning on. Highs 55-62, coolest coast. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 45-52. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers early, then sun/cloud mix. Highs 53-60. Wind NW 15-25 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 42-49. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Clouding over. A period of rain or showers possible. Highs 56-63. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 29-MAY 3)
Dry, cooler April 29. Transition with clouds and potential light rain April 30 or May 1 with a chance of getting into a warmer air mass. Probably back to the cool side of a boundary thereafter with some additional unsettled weather possible.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 4-8)
Expecting the region to be near a boundary between warmth to the south and cool air to the north, with additional unsettled weather at times and a continued uncertain temperature forecast.

7:00AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 23-27)
Low pressure drifts slowly away to the east today, and although there will be a slight drying process it will stay generally overcast. A frontal system crosses the region west to east in the early hours of Wednesday with more unsettled weather, followed by some improvement later Wednesday and Thursday as high pressure approaches then moves over the region. The active pattern means the next low pressure system will be quick to move in during Friday with more unsettled weather, and although this should move on out of the area by Saturday, it will do so while intensifying, so the drying weather will also be cool and breezy.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain and drizzle, especially in the morning. Highs 53-60 except 60-67 southwestern NH and central MA. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH, shifting to E later.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 43-50. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers early morning, then partly sunny. Highs 59-66. Wind variable becoming W increasing to 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 63-70, cooler Cape Cod. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers. Highs 58-65, coolest Cape Cod. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with rain showers. Lows 45-52. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers early, then sun/cloud mix. Highs 53-60. Wind NW 15-25 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 28-MAY 2)
Lots of transitions as one system moves through with a rain shower threat April 28 followed by a quick shot of fair and cooler weather for April 29, then a warm front lifts through April 30 or May 1 with a warming trend but some additional unsettled weather before the front drops back to the south again with a cool-down. Of course timing is approximate this far in advance.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 3-7)
May end up near a boundary between warm air to the south and lingering Canadian cold, leaving the door open for unsettled weather and an uncertain temperature forecast.

7:42AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 22-26)
Earth Day 2019. Locally we will see more greening up. We need rain to help that, right? Right. We’ll see it off and on this week, which will be rather unsettled. But we’ve been on the mild to warm side of late, but the next few days will be somewhat cooler. Low pressure forms offshore and moves up across eastern New England today and tonight, slowly departing Tuesday, as upper level low pressure crosses the region. Another low will pass north of the region Wednesday and send its cold front through here, and the next in a series of systems is due on Friday with more unsettled weather. Thursday may be the only day in this 5-day stretch without the threat of at least some rainfall. Forecast details…
TODAY: Partial sun early, then cloudy. Scattered to numerous rain showers developing from south to north, heaviest in eastern locations. Highs 58-65 occurring by midday then cooling somewhat. Wind light variable becoming NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain, possibly heavy. Lows 46-53. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts near the coast.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain and drizzle, especially in the morning. Highs 53-60 except 60-67 southwestern NH and central MA. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 43-50. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 59-66. Wind variable becoming W increasing to 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 63-70, cooler Cape Cod. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers. Highs 58-65, coolest Cape Cod. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 27-MAY 1)
Gusty breeze, cooler, but mainly dry or isolated rain showers April 27. Next low pressure systems brings wet weather threat April 28. Fair, breezy, cooler to end April with a milder trend by the end of the period to start May.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 2-6)
May end up near a boundary between warm air to the south and lingering Canadian cold, leaving the door open for unsettled weather and an uncertain temperature forecast.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 21-25)
No big changes for this update. Unsettled pattern continues, though not excessively wet. We’ll also see a slight cooling trend the next couple days as upper level low pressure arrives Monday and hangs around into Tuesday before being replaced with another one on Wednesday, finally exiting Thursday when there should be a completely dry day for the region.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy early morning with rain showers likely mainly eastern areas. Mostly cloudy to partly sunny with isolated rain showers thereafter. Highs 63-70, cooler South Coast. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain showers. Lows 50-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered to numerous rain showers. Highs 55-62 coast, 61-68 interior. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain showers. Lows 48-55. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain showers. Highs 55-62 coast, 61-68 interior. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered rain showers. Lows 48-55. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 56-63 but may stay steady 48-55 closer to the coast. Wind variable to E 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Becoming partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 43-50. Wind variable up to 10 MPH becoming W.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 58-65 coast, 65-72 interior. Wind light W but coastal sea breezes likely.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 26-30)
A slight adjustment to a more progressive set-up with wet weather more likely April 26 and improvement during the April 27-28 weekend, then a mainly fair and somewhat milder end to the month.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 1-5)
Fair, mild start, unsettled episode, then a cooler trend, is the current low confidence call.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 20-24)
Everything going as expected as we remain in a warm and rather humid air mass. Boston set a record high minimum temperature on Friday with a 63, beating the old record of 60. This is the type of weather that makes the grass green up quickly and the vegetation emerge. Of course, for many it means worsening allergies too. Another down side to the pattern is with some rain combined with melting mountain snow, the river flood threat will be higher during the coming days. A plus to all of this is the fire danger, which has been rather high, will drop off. So there is a mix of positives and negatives, which one would expect. The axis of most numerous rain showers which has been the biggest headache in the forecast recently is behaving about as expected, but has rippled around a little overnight and into the morning, but will be mainly to the west for several hours before heading back to the east again, and it should be mainly offshore, except possibly Cape Cod, for improving weather during Sunday, which is Easter for those who celebrate (except Eastern Orthodox which is next week). I’ve been eyeing the good possibility of the trailing upper level low pressure from this system coming across the region Monday, “Earth Day”, with unsettled weather, and that will be the case. Think of it as an Earth Day watering for the continued emergence of green, if you will. And in true April fashion, yet another disturbance and front will be in the area to keep the unsettled pattern going into midweek.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 25-29)
Should be a break in the wet weather early in the period, with mild conditions, before it returns sometime during the April 27-28 weekend, then departs at the end of the period when a shot of much cooler air is possible. Not the highest confidence on this forecast right now.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 30-MAY 4)
I have no idea. Ok, kidding, kind of. I’m not really too keen on any medium range guidance right now so I’ll venture this one on my own and call for fair weather to end April, and unsettled and cooler weather to start May.
