11:19AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 10-14)
A disturbance passing further south than it looked like it would several days ago makes the difference with the result being a shield of ice crystals about 35,000 feet above the ground over southern MA, CT, & RI, instead of a thick overcast and rain falling to the ground, over the entire area. End result: A beautiful day, but with two negative impacts, the first being prolific pollen production and distribution, and the second being the lack of rain adding to a growing dryness issue. Though the pollen problem will be quite visible for another week or so, the dryness issue will not be so easily seen as trees etc. are in great condition and don’t show signs of stress right away. Should this go on long enough, we will see that start to show up in trees and lawns, etc., as we go into the summer. I’m not quite sure how long the issue will be yet but I am pretty sure we’re in it for at least as long as this blog forecast projects out. But that aside, it is a beautiful weather pattern we are in now and will continue to be in, with the only interruption being a humidity spike and a risk of showers/thunderstorms on Wednesday. Forecast details…

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 20-24)
A continuation of the pattern of days 6-10 is expected. Overall pattern is dry to start, but a broader trough will probably send a low pressure system through with unsettled conditions for the June 23-24 weekend. Temperatures variable but averaging near normal overall.

9:36AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 9-13)
This is one of those days you can kind of cheat on a forecast update and essentially use yesterday’s forecast and just do minor tweaks. I wont lie, that’s all I’m about to do, because there are really no changes to what I wrote yesterday, so just right to the forecast details of a now dry pattern. In fact, only next Wednesday may we feel some humidity and see the chance of a passing shower or thunderstorm.
TODAY: Sunshine dominant morning. Limited sun afternoon. Highs 75-83. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 50-57. Wind light variable.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 14-18)
A general west to east flow will dominate. Weak fronts or disturbances about around June 15 and 17 may produce brief shower threats, otherwise dry weather will be dominant overall. Temperatures averaging near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 19-23)
A continuation of the pattern of days 6-10 is expected. Overall pattern is dry, but passing disturbances bring brief wet weather threats. Temperatures variable but averaging near normal overall.

7:22AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 8-12)
5 dry days ahead with temperature determined by wind direction which itself will be determined by our position relative to areas of high pressure that will control the weather during this time. A disturbance that once looked like it could make part of the weekend wet or cloudy may only bring a few clouds for part of it, otherwise will be so far south we’d never know it was really there. Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 75-83. Wind W 5-15 MPH, few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to clear. Lows 53-59.Wind N 5-10 MPH, few higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 13-17)
A general west to east flow will dominate. Weak fronts around June 13, 15, and 17 may produce brief shower threats otherwise dry weather will be dominant overall. Temperatures averaging not too far from normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 18-22)
A continuation of the pattern of days 6-10 is expected. Overall pattern is dry, but passing disturbances bring brief wet weather threats. Temperatures variable but averaging near normal overall.

7:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 7-11)
Warmer weather arrives today and lasts into the weekend as a warm frontal boundary lifts north of the region today then comes back as an insignificant cold front with no precipitation on Friday. It will take until Sunday for it to turn a little cooler as a disturbance passes well south of the region with cloudiness but any rainfall likely near or just south of the South Coast. High pressure to the north will ensure fair weather but pleasantly cool air Monday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 64-70 South Coast, 70-76 elsewhere. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 57-64. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 75-83. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW late.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 53-61. Wind light NW.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny Highs 75-83. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy with possible rain near the South Coast. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 12-16)
Disturbances may bring shower threats about June 13 and June 15 otherwise mainly dry weather with temperatures below to near normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 17-21)
A more seasonably warm period overall, but one or two shower and thunderstorm threats may occur with passing disturbances in a general west-to-east flow.

7:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 6-10)
I can safely say now that today will be the coolest day of the next 5 as we remain immersed in the marine layer, but this will be leaving us by tomorrow, not to make a return for a while, so while we won’t be heading into a hot pattern, we will see some warmer days upcoming, especially Friday. It also looks like the cold front that comes by on Friday will do so dry, so I am removing the thunderstorm threat. It will cool down again over the weekend but not nearly to what we just experienced, but it now looks like that the bulk of what was the wet weather threat will pass south of the region, confining itself to Saturday night and very early Sunday if any of the rain even gets this far north. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy with areas of fog and drizzle early, then becoming partly sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind light N shifting to W.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 64-70 South Coast, 70-76 elsewhere. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 57-64. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 75-83. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW late.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of rain at night favoring the South Coast. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy with possible rain favoring the South Coast early, then clearing. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 11-15)
Fair and cooler early period, warming mid period, then a risk of showers with a disturbance by late in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 16-20)
A more seasonably warm period overall, but one or two shower and thunderstorm threats may occur with passing disturbances in a general west-to-east flow.

7:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 5-9)
Low pressure will track southeastward across New England today, accompanied by a pool of cold air aloft, and this will trigger showers and possible thunderstorms that may contain small hail. The storms themselves, if they occur, won’t be particularly strong. The hail may occur even with just showers as it is very cold above. Improvement follows midweek, though it may be slow to start on Wednesday. Nicer weather overall late week but the active pattern still brings the chance of a passing shower or thunderstorm Friday with a cold front, and then an approaching warm front and low pressure system may threaten the region with rain as early as Saturday night. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered afternoon showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Any showers or storms may produce small hail. Highs 58-66. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers. Areas of fog. Lows 50-57. Wind variable to N 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy with areas of fog and drizzle early, then becoming partly sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind light N shifting to W.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 64-70 South Coast, 70-76 elsewhere. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. A passing shower or thunderstorm possible. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of rain at night. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 10-14)
Risk of a few periods of rain June 10 depending on the speed and track of a disturbance moving through the region. Overall trend is to drier weather after that. Temperatures below normal with a late period warm-up.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 15-19)
A more seasonably warm period overall, but one or two shower and thunderstorm threats may occur with passing disturbances in a general west-to-east flow.

7:14AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 4-8)
Low pressure tracks southeast of New England today with most of its rain occurring this morning and early afternoon, though don’t expect any quick clearing as a northeast wind will keep low level moisture locked in with additional drizzle while upper energy still triggers a few showers through evening. Upper level low pressure still has to cross the region Tuesday and Wednesday with more unsettled weather. Improvement arrives Thursday as weak high pressure moves in, but a cold front coming along Friday may trigger a quick shower or thunderstorm. Forecast details…
TODAY: Overcast. Periods of rain, possibly heavy at times, through midday. Drizzle and a chance of showers thereafter. Areas of fog. Highs 50-57. Wind E to NE 5-15 MPH interior, 10-20 MPH coast, but higher gusts all areas.
TONIGHT: Overcast evening with areas of drizzle. Mostly cloudy overnight. Areas of fog. Lows 47-54. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy morning. Cloudy with showers likely afternoon. Highs 58-66. Wind NW to W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with periods of rain. Areas of fog. Lows 50-57. Wind variable to E 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy with areas of fog and drizzle with a chance of rain in the morning. Mostly cloudy afternoon. Highs 58-65. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle to upper 60s South Coast, upper 60s to middle 70s elsewhere.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. A passing shower or thunderstorm possible. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 9-13)
Next disturbance brings a shower threat at some point during the June 9-10 weekend followed by drier weather. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 14-18)
This period looks somewhat warmer but still will bring one or two shower threats in transition.

8:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 3-7)
The well-advertised period of cooler than average weather has arrived, and it will also be rather unsettled as well, especially the middle 3 days. We escape today dry, which is good news for many outdoor activities. Low pressure from the southwest provides a rainy Monday, and a follow up system from the west northwest brings more wet weather in later Tuesday into Wednesday. It will attempt to dry out by Thursday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly sunny for a while morning and midday with ocean-clouds Seacoast NH and eastern MA, otherwise sunny. Highs 60-65 coast, 66-71 interior. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 48-55. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Overcast. Rain likely, possibly heavy at times. Temperatures steady 48-55. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, gusts as high as 30-40 MPH, strongest in coastal areas.
MONDAY NIGHT: Overcast. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Lows 45-52. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, gusts 15-25 MPH, strongest in coastal areas.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Highs 55-62. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain especially early. Lows from the upper 40s to lower 50s. Highs from the upper 50s to lower 60s.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows from the lower to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 8-12)
Warmer with a risk of showers/thunderstorms June 8 as a cold front approaches then passes. Fair and dry June 9. A disturbance or front may trigger a shower at some point June 10. Fair and a little cooler June 11 then warming on June 12.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 13-17)
More seasonable warmth expected during this period with fewer wet weather threats.

8:57AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 2-6)
Transition from humid to dry today and this may include a few additional showers around as there will be a little wind convergence line in eastern MA down into RI and eastern CT through mid afternoon before drier air takes over enough to end the threat. But a largely dry day so don’t cancel any outdoor plans in these areas. A dry but cool day Sunday thanks to high pressure over eastern Canada. This weekend is big for outdoor weddings and graduations so overall, not turning out that badly for those events! However, fair weather won’t be around too long as low pressure to the south of New England makes a northeastward run and brings a wet and very cool episode of weather in Monday. It will continue unsettled and cool into midweek as upper level low pressure hangs around and another surface low possibly impacts the region. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Isolated showers and possible thunderstorms, favoring southern MA, CT, and RI until mid afternoon. Becoming less humid. Highs 68-73 Cape Cod, 74-81 elsewhere. Wind light S to SW shifting to N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 50-55. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Lows 48-55. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Rain developing. Areas of fog forming. Temperatures steady 48-55. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts near the coast.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 7-11)
Drier weather most likely June 7, 9, and 11, while disturbances bring shower threats June 8 and 10, based on current timing. Temperatures average below normal for the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 12-16)
Cooler/dry weather to start the period followed by a warm-up but some showers may accompany the transition.

7:04AM

DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 1-5)
Welcome to June! We’re about to dive into a cooler period of weather after a warm and humid start to the month today. We start in a wedge of warm/humid air that arrived overnight and will present plenty of clouds and a risk of a shower or thunderstorm through this evening, there will be far more rain-free time today than not. A cold front moving through brings a shower and thunderstorm risk again during the first half of Saturday and this will favor areas south of the Massachusetts Turnpike. High pressure brings cooler air but fair weather for the balance of Saturday and Sunday, so the weekend, while not warm and feeling summery, will be largely dry. Low pressure will develop south of New England and try to lift back to the north, probably bringing a period of rain to the region sometime during Monday. However this low will move out only to be replaced by another system from the west Tuesday bringing the chance of showers. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Isolated showers and possible thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 72-77 South Coast, 78-83 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Isolated showers and possible thunderstorms, favoring southern NH through northern MA until midnight. Humid. Lows 63-68. Wind light S.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Isolated showers and possible thunderstorms, favoring southern MA, CT, and RI through midday. Becoming less humid. Highs 68-75. Wind shifting to N 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 50-55. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain north. Rain likely south. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs from the middle 50s to lower 60s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 6-10)
Upper level low pressure will still be over the region around the middle of next week with below normal temperatures and a rain shower risk, but this will likely progress eastward and be replaced by drier and warmer weather before a front brings a shower/thunderstorm risk near the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 11-15)
A shot of cooler air for the first 2 or 3 days of this period then a warm-up follows this. A period of cloudiness and some wet weather may accompany the transition.

7:12AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 31-JUNE 4)
High pressure slowly gives up control of the weather today but in doing so the wind comes around to the south and warms most of the region up from yesterday’s cooler air, although as is typical, south-facing shores will be cooler with this wind flow. We’ll also see clouds eventually win out as moisture increases from the south and southwest, although it may take much of the day for that to occur in some areas. As warm and humid air moves in, a few showers may occur tonight and early Friday but much of Friday will be without a shower threat, and will actually be a sneaky ok beach day if you happen to have the day off (hehe), not totally sunny, but pleasant enough with a sun/cloud mix, higher humidity, and not too much wind. Things change quickly on the weekend as a cold front drops through early Saturday and low pressure forms on it to the south, but it still looks like Canadian high pressure will be strong enough to push all the moisture to the south later Saturday and keep it there through Monday, despite some guidance bringing rain back as early as Monday. I’m staying with the scenario from yesterday’s forecast at this time. Details…
TODAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 68-75 coast, 75-82 inland. Wind light SE to S.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A passing shower possible. Patchy fog. Lows 55-62. Wind light S.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers/thunderstorms late in the day. Humid. Highs 73-78 coast, 78-83 interior. Wind light S to SW increasing to 10-15 MPH late in the day.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. Humid. Lows 63-68. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to N overnight.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely in the morning. Highs 68-73 in the morning but may fall slowly in the afternoon. Wind light N to NE.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 5-9)
Clouds come back including a rain threat sometime during the June 5-6 period before drier weather returns. May have to watch moisture to the south yet again late in the period. Temperatures below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 10-14)
One or two period of unsettled weather as the region sits in a battle ground between lingering cool air in Canada and building warmth to the south with the cooler side probably being dominant here.

7:23AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 30-JUNE 3)
High pressure maintains control today but a cooler onshore flow dominates. A slight warm-up as this high moves off to the east Thursday but clouds increase ahead of a warm front that will introduce higher humidity to the region by Friday. A period of showers and possible thunderstorms later Friday into Saturday will be the result of a cold front dropping through the region and will set up a cooler weekend that will end up largely dry as high pressure from Canada pushes the moisture to the south. Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 67-75, coolest coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Clear. Patchy fog in low elevation areas. Lows 51-57. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 68-75 coast, 75-82 inland. Wind light SE to S.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A passing shower possible. Lows 55-62. Wind light S.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers/thunderstorms late in the day. Highs 73-78 coast, 78-83 interior. Wind light S to SW increasing to 10-15 MPH late in the day.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely in the morning. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 4-8)
High pressure brings dry/cool weather June 4 before wet weather to the south pushes northward again sometime in the June 5-7 period before drying out again late. Temperatures below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 9-13)
One or two period of unsettled weather as the region sits in a battle ground between lingering cool air in Canada and building warmth to the south with the cooler side probably being dominant here.

6:49AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 29-JUNE 2)
High pressure moves in with dry and warmer weather today but a weak surface boundary may kick off a shower later in the day in southern areas, despite limited moisture to work with. The high pressure area positions itself so a more easterly flow occurs Wednesday, cooling the region slightly. A warm front will approach by late Thursday, increasing the cloudiness across the area. By Friday, more humid air will arrive behind this front. At this time it appears a cold front will approach but stay far enough away to help hold showers and possible thunderstorms off until later in the day. The forecast becomes more complicated at the end of this period but currently expect the front to push through early Saturday and low pressure to develop to the south of New England, pulling cooler air into the region along with unsettled conditions. Forecast details…
TODAY: Areas of low clouds early then mostly sunny except becoming partly sunny south of the Mass Pike later in the day with isolated showers possible. Highs 70-77 Cape Cod and any north-facing shores, 78-86 elsewhere. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 50-58. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Highs 67-75, coolest coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 51-57. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 68-75 coast, 75-82 inland. Wind light SE to S.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers/thunderstorms late in the day. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s coast, lower 80s inland.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely in the morning. Slight chance of showers in the afternoon. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 3-7)
High pressure from the north should push wet weather to the south of the region June 3-4 before it tries to make a return about June 5-6 before diminishing June 7. Low confidence forecast and subject to adjustment. Temperatures below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 8-12)
Fair weather to start then some additional unsettled weather may occur. Temperatures near to below normal.

12:14PM

Memorial Day 2018. Pause. Remember them, so their sacrifice will not be in vain.

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 28-JUNE 1)
I know everybody wants great weather on the long weekend and we got some early, and the holiday weekend will end fairly nicely if you are patient today, as dry air works down from the northwest and eventually gets rid of the low level moisture and marine air that is in place. This sets up 3 fabulous days Tuesday through Thursday as high pressure takes control. When we get to the first day of the new month on Friday, many forecast have been pessimistic but I feel that high pressure will hang on enough for a fairly nice late spring / early summer (first day of meteorological summer) day, although the shower threat will present itself as the first of the tropical moisture arrives from the south, indirectly associated with Alberto, the remains of which will have already passed well to our west and will become an ingredient in a broad low pressure area that will impact this area just beyond this time period. We’ll get to that, but first, forecast details for the next 5…
TODAY: Low overcast, areas of fog/drizzle through midday. Slowly breaking clouds and eventual clearing remainder of the day. Highs 60-66 coast, 67-74 interior, occurring late in the day. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy early then clear. Patchy fog mainly valley, swamp, bog, and pond areas. Lows 53-60. Wind calm.
TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 70-77 Cape Cod and any north-facing shores, 78-86 elsewhere. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 50-58. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Highs 67-75, coolest coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the lower to middle 70s coast, upper 70s to lower 80s inland.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers in the afternoon. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s coast, lower 80s inland.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 2-6)
A temporary blocking pattern takes moisture west and southwest of the region and consolidates it into a low pressure area over the region June 2 which will be unsettled, but this should be pushed to the south with a drying trend during mid period before wet weather tries to return late in the period. Temperatures below normal overall during this period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 7-11)
An unsettled and cooler than normal start to the period followed by fair and more seasonable weather.

6:45AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 27-31)
The summer portion of the holiday weekend is but a memory as the marine air has overtaken the region and will keep its hold through Monday, although you will notice an easing of the chill as Memorial Day goes on. Before that, today is the coolest and most damp time with a low overcast, areas of fog and drizzle, and a little rain for parts of the region as a disturbances passes just to the south of the region. The improvement that starts later Monday will progress quickly by early Tuesday and that day as well as the final 2 days of May at midweek will be spectacular late spring days. Forecast details…
TODAY: Overcast. Patchy fog and drizzle. Occasional showers favoring CT, RI, southeastern MA. Highs 53-60. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Overcast. Patchy fog and drizzle. Lows 51-58. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY – MEMORIAL DAY: Overcast with patchy fog and drizzle morning. Partial clearing afternoon. Highs 62-68 coast, 68-75 interior by late day. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Complete clearing. Lows 53-59. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 68-76 Cape Cod, 77-84 elsewhere. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 40s interior valleys to upper 50s urban centers. Highs from the middle 70s to middle 80s, coolest coastal areas.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s, coolest coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 1-5)
June 1 is likely a warm day but an approaching frontal boundary from the northwest and a disturbance from the southwest that carries some tropical moisture, there will be an increasing shower and thunderstorm threat by later in the day which will carry into early June 2 too before a drier interlude, but a bit of a block in the atmosphere will turn winds onshore and June 3 may end up cool and somewhat damp, before drier air from the north wins the battle and pushes it all to the south later in the period.
