7:17AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 11-15)
A cold front pushes just to the south today which will be a very dry day with a breeze picking up. This leads to high fire danger today, especially across southern NH and northern MA. But rain is on the way and unfortunately it will involve some of the weekend as the front that just went by tries to come back Saturday, and a ripple of low pressure moving along it helps create some rain to pass through the region. This is all expected to push southward again for a drier Mother’s Day Sunday, although some areas may not see complete clearing. Expect high pressure to continue to sink to the south keeping fair weather in place and allowing a warm-up early next week. Details…
TODAY: Early to mid morning cloudiness southern NH and northern MA, mid to late morning cloudiness southern MA and RI / eastern CT, otherwise mainly sunny. Highs 65-72 except cooler Cape Cod / Islands. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 40-46 most interior areas, 47-53 coast and urban centers. Wind N under 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Highs 48-56. Wind N under 10 MPH becoming E up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 41-47. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny with more sun likely southern NH and northern MA and less sun to the south. Highs 55-62 coast, 62-68 inland. Wind light variable with coastal sea breezes.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs in the 60s, coolest South Coast.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s South Coast, middle 70s to lower 80s elsewhere.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 16-20)
A frontal boundary is expected to be in the region from the early to middle portion of this period with unsettled weather dominating. High pressure from Canada may push everything to the south and return drier weather to the region later in the period. Temperatures near normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 21-25)
Continued low confidence in the longer range as several potential players are on the table. Leaning toward a dry start and wetter end to this period with temperatures not too far from seasonal averages.

7:14AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 10-14)
Continuing to make fine-tuning adjustments on what has been a tough forecast. Marine layer in place today will erode as low pressure offshore moves away and a cold front approaches from the west, bringing a more southerly air flow later, but this front will bring a shower threat this evening before a sliver of high pressure brings nice weather for Friday. But rapidly-moving systems means the front, not far to the south, tries to comes back as a warm front Saturday and makes it only enough for unsettled weather but not really enough to bring warm air in. In fact, the front gets pushed back to the south by high pressure Sunday, although clearing may be delayed for a while so unsure of how much sun appears for Mother’s Day afternoon. The high should push far enough south for fair weather Monday, and somewhat of a warm-up, with coastal areas still vulnerable to typical cooler air. Forecast details…
TODAY: Areas of fog and low clouds giving way to sun then clouds returning from the west late. Highs 60-68 coast, 68-76 elsewhere probably occurring mid to late afternoon. Wind light variable early, then S to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Lows 50-58. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 62-70. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing late.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain late. Lows 51-58. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain, favoring morning and midday. Highs 58-65 coast, 65-72 interior. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy with morning showers. Partial clearing afternoon. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the lower to middle 60s coast, upper 60s to middle 70s interior.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 15-19)
Will again have to watch the position of a frontal boundary during this period as we could end up on either side of it, and also its position determining how many wet weather chances there are. Remaining vague and low confidence at this time.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 20-24)
Still uncertain in the pattern here as well, but leaning toward a risk of some wetter weather at some point, favoring late in the period.

1:52AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 9-13)
A few adjustments to the forecast for this period. First, high pressure remains in control today with again the coast being cooler, typical for springtime. Last week, medium range guidance showed the potential for a low pressure area impacting the East Coast around May 9. Turns out this model forecast was somewhat correct, as an area of low pressure offshore, moving northward, will be close enough to drag an area of rain through Nantucket and the outer part of Cape Cod tonight, but it will be quickly gone by early Thursday as a cold front approaches the region from the west. This front will cross Thursday night when a shower risk exists. Our quickly changing weather continues with high pressure building in Friday or a nice day. Things are starting to come into focus a little more for the weekend. It looks like the front that went through Thursday night, sitting just to the south through Friday, will come back as a warm front Saturday, preceded by a period of rain, then pushing north enough to allow some milder and more humid air in, but this won’t last either, as the front quickly pushes back to the south with another period of wet weather early Sunday, but high pressure should then push the front further south and move in for a nicer finish to Mother’s Day. Forecast details…
TODAY: Foggy start across southern RI and southeastern MA, and portions of northeastern MA and coastal NH, otherwise mostly sunny. Highs 58-66 coastal areas, 67-74 interior areas. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A period of rain outer Cape Cod and Nantucket. Lows 48-55. Wind light variable except N 10-20 MPH Cape Cod and Nantucket.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny morning. Increasing clouds afternoon. Highs 60-68 coast, 68-76 elsewhere. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers. Lows 50-58. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 62-70. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing late.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain, favoring morning and midday. Becoming humid. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy with morning showers. Clearing afternoon. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 14-18)
High pressure sinks to the south for fair and warmer weather May 14-15 before a stretch of unsettled weather arrives during the middle to end of the period with a front in the vicinity.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 19-23)
Leaning away from the omega block idea for now but we do have to watch for more unsettled weather anyway with high pressure in Canada and a frontal boundary near or south of the region for at least a portion of this period.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 8-12)
Weak high pressure over southern New England and weak low pressure just to the south today and Wednesday. The biggest impact of this set up will be some morning fog today, areas of low clouds at times along the coast, and also cooler air along the coast. Still looking for a cold front to pass by Thursday night and early Friday and settle not too far south of the region Saturday, which may end up somewhat unsettled. Detailed forecast…
TODAY: Areas of fog early to mid morning. Coastal clouds at times, sun otherwise. Highs 60-67, cooler coast. Wind light E to SE.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 46-53. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny but some clouds may linger coastal areas especially Cape Cod. Highs 60-67 immediate coast, 68-75 elsewhere. Wind light variable with coastal sea breezes.
THURSDAY: Sunshine, clouds late, risk of showers at night. Lows from the lower to middle 50s. Highs from the lower 60s South Coast to upper 60s to lower 70s elsewhere.
FRIDAY: Early clouds and possibly a shower then more sun and breezy. Lows from the middle to upper 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 13-17)
Still some uncertainly about the weather for May 13 but leaning toward clouds and possible damp weather with a brief warm up following this for May 14 then more seasonably mild weather interior and cooler weather coast for the middle of next week and mostly fair conditions. However always must watch this pattern for low clouds in coastal areas at this time of year. This continues to be a low confidence forecast.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 18-22)
Still watching for the possibility of an omega block to set up which could put the region into several days of unsettled weather. This is also low confidence and not unusual for trying to look ahead and upcoming weather in the spring.

7:15AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 7-11)
High pressure builds in today through some leftover low level moisture will result in early fog for parts of the region and then a sun/cloud mix as the ground heats and the moisture rises into cooler air during the day. Still have to watch a low to the south Tuesday in case it is close enough to spread more cloudiness into the region as high pressure tries to hold it off. High pressure will take more control by Wednesday with nice weather before a cold front approaches late Thursday and passes through early Friday with most of the shower activity expected Thursday night with the front. Detailed forecast…
TODAY: Areas of fog early otherwise a cloud/sun mix. Highs 58-65, cooler coast. Wind light variable becoming NE up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog in low-lying areas. Lows 38-45 most interior areas, 45-52 coastal and urban centers. Wind calm.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny north, mostly cloudy south. Highs 60-67, cooler coast. Wind light E to SE.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 46-53. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 60-67 immediate coast, 68-75 elsewhere. Wind light variable with coastal sea breezes.
THURSDAY: Sunshine, clouds late, risk of showers at night. Lows from the lower to middle 50s. Highs from the lower 60s South Coast to upper 60s to lower 70s elsewhere.
FRIDAY: Early clouds and possibly a shower then more sun and breezy. Lows from the middle to upper 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 12-16)
The May 12-13 weekend is uncertain but will probably be somewhat unsettled. What is most uncertain is timing and position of frontal boundaries in the area, so will need to figure that out in the next few days. The leaning is toward fair weather for Saturday May 12 with a front still far enough south and damp/cool weather Sunday May 13 as it moves into the region as a warm front. This timing would probably lead to a shot of warm air about May 14 then a trend back to cooler again May 15-16. Again, highly uncertain and low confidence forecast period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 17-21)
Still watching for the possibility of an omega block to set up which could put the region into several days of unsettled weather. This is also low confidence and not unusual for trying to look ahead and upcoming weather in the spring.

7:01AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 6-10)
Two northeastward-moving low pressure areas, one tracking from PA to southeastern Canada, the other passing offshore southeast of New England, will bring a cloudy, cooler, and occasionally wet day today, though many areas may escape rainfall for much of the day. Most of this will exit by early Monday, but some cloudiness may linger, and we’ll have to watch another wave of low pressure to the south that may end up close enough for some additional cloudiness at least and possibly a wet weather threat again at some point on Tuesday. Expecting high pressure to overtake the region with drier weather at midweek.
TODAY: Cloudy. A few periods of rain possible. Highs 58-65. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. A risk of light rain mainly Cape Cod early. Highs 60-66. Wind light variable.
MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 46-53. Wind light variable becoming SE.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain favoring the South Coast. Highs 60-67. Wind light SE to E.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 40s to lower 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 11-15)
A cold front may bring a few rain showers May 11 followed by a dry May 12-13 weekend with a cool start and a warmer finish. A trough west of the region and high pressure offshore allow warmer air for May 14-15 but eventually the chance of some showers.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 16-20)
Low confidence forecast, but there is the possibility an omega block develops during this period with low pressure nearby to New England. this would result in a trend toward unsettled weather for a few days with a system that doesn’t move much.

1:47AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 5-9)
After things working out as expected on Friday (a warm, humid day, morning and midday showers, storms dying before they made it too far east, and gusty winds surviving the trip) we now move onto the weekend. And we basically have a split of sorts with dry weather but some cloudiness today and a wave of low pressure bringing a general overcast with a risk of some rain on Sunday as it passes by to the southeast. The boundary it rides along will still be fairly close by and cloudiness may even linger Monday before high pressure finally pushes in with more sun for Tuesday and Wednesday.
TODAY: Many clouds but thin enough for some sun. Highs 67-74. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts early, diminishing slowly.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind light SW to S.
SUNDAY: Cloudy. A few periods of rain possible. Highs 58-65. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 60-66. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 10-14)
A front should pass through the region sometime from later May 10 to May 11 with the risk of some showers, followed by fair weather, a brief cool shot, then a warm-up.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 15-19)
Low confidence forecast, but there is the possibility an omega block develops during this period with low pressure nearby to New England. this would result in a trend toward unsettled weather for a few days with a system that doesn’t move much.

6:58AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 4-8)
We remain in the warm, summer-like air mass for one more day until a cold front crosses the region tonight. There will be a threat of showers and a few thunderstorms today, but the severity of any storms should be limited by abundant cloud-cover through midday, then the risk of storms should be muted by drying air by the time the actual front arrives this evening. A brief shot of northwesterly flow at the surface will cool it down as the weekend arrives, but the front that goes by is never going to get very far to the southeast of the region, and will serve as the running board for some additional cloudiness on Saturday and eventually some areas of rain Sunday as a wave of low pressure moves up along the front, passing southeast of the region. High pressure will finally push it all further south early next week. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy through midday with a couple episodes of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Partly sunny remainder of day with isolated showers and possible thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 68-76 South Coast, 77-86 elsewhere. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of a passing shower or thunderstorm evening. Lows 53-59. Wind SW to W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 66-72 Cape Cod, 72-77 elsewhere. Wind W 15-25 MPH morning, diminishing afternoon.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 51-57. Wind W to SW up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Cloudy. Periods of light rain possible. Highs 62-68. Wind S to SE up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 40s to lower 50s. Highs in the 60s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 9-13)
First half of period runs risk of unsettled weather due to a combination of low pressure from the south and a front from the northwest. Later period should feature fair weather with high pressure moving in. This particular period of forecast is low confidence at this time.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 14-18)
If the 6-10 day period goes as expected, this period could start with a brief shot of very warm air, a shower/thunderstorm threat, then a turn to more seasonable weather.

7:01AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 3-7)
A surface front will approach from the northwest today then situate itself so it sits just north of the region through most of Friday before pushing to the south to just south of New England during Saturday before stopping there for the remainder of this period. A couple waves of low pressure will ripple along this front during the next several days. While we’re on its warm side, we’ll have the chance of showers and thunderstorms from this afternoon through Friday night. On its cooler side, a few periods of rain are possible during Sunday. A weak area of high pressure will move in by Monday but a front still not far to the south and weak trough in the upper atmosphere will keep cloudiness around. Forecast details…
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Any thunderstorms may be capable of producing damaging wind gusts. More humid. Highs 68-76 South Coast, 77-85 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 58-66. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and possible thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 67-75 South Coast, 76-82 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening. Humid evening, drier overnight. Lows 55-62. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to WNW.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs 66-74. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 8-12)
High pressure should bring mainly dry weather to the region May 8-9, then a couple weak disturbances and a front passing through the area should bring a few episodes of showers in the May 10-12 time frame. Temperatures variable but averaging around normal for the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 13-17)
Brief wet weather may start this period before nicer mid spring weather arrives and a cool start turns into a warmer mid to late period.

2:00AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 2-6)
A ridge of high pressure along the East Coast brings that well-advertised summer preview for the next few days, but today will be the only day without any threat of unsettled weather as a cold front approaching later Thursday may trigger a few showers and thunderstorms, with this chance to increase even more Friday as the front moves into the region. However this front will be slow to push through and will take until early Saturday to do so, and then it will probably hang up near or just south of the South Coast, with no complete clearing right through the coming weekend. So far not expecting much of any rainfall, however, though we must always watch this set-up for sneaky rain. Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 68-75 South Coast, 76-83 just inland from South Coast, 84-92 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Patchy fog interior low-lying areas. Lows 48-55 interior low-lying areas, 56-62 elsewhere. Wind WSW under 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered late afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms possible. Slightly more humid. Highs 65-73 South Coast, 73-78 just inland from South Coast, 78-85 elsewhere except 85-92 interior valleys.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Humid. Lows 53-58 interior low-lying areas, 58-64 elsewhere. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Occasional showers and a chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 65-72 South Coast, 72-78 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of a shower South Coast. Lows from the middle to upper 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Lows from the lower to middle 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 7-11)
A front hanging in the region early in the period (May 7-8) will bring the chance for some additional unsettled weather to the region. After that, high pressure should take over with fair weather in the May 9-11 time frame. Temperatures near to slightly above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 12-16)
A cold front should bring some unsettled weather early in the period followed by a cool-down. There are some hits of the evolution of an omega block trying to get established toward the end of the period in which an upper level low may be situation somewhere near the East Coast. This may increase the risk of unsettled weather in the region.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 1-5)
An upper level low pressure area exits the region from west to east today and opens the door to a westerly flow over the top of a high pressure ridge along the US East Coast and a summer preview mid to late week. By later Thursday and Friday, a cold front will be close enough to the region to introduce the chance of some passing showers and thunderstorms as well. This front should push just south of the region by Saturday but probably remain close enough for at least some lingering cloudiness. Detailed forecast…
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated rain showers midday. Highs 57-63 South Coast, 64-71 elsewhere. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 47-54. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 68-76 South Coast, 77-85 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of mainly late-day showers and thunderstorms Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s South Coast, upper 70s to middle 80s elsewhere.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s South Coast, upper 70s to middle 80s elsewhere.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to middle 70s, coolest South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 6-10)
A front will be in the region for much of this period with temperature swings and also the risk of a few episode of wet weather. However there will be stretches of fair weather as well. Timing and details uncertain at this point.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 11-15)
For now continuing with the outlook for a typical springtime up/down temperature pattern with a few episodes of unsettled weather.

7:12AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 30-MAY 4)
Low pressure sits atop southeastern New England today, another cool and somewhat unsettled day. This low exits stage east on Tuesday, opening the door to a westerly flow over the top of a high pressure ridge along the US East Coast and a summer preview mid to late week. By Friday, a cold front will be close enough to the region to introduce the chance of some passing showers and thunderstorms as well. Detailed forecast…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated to scattered rain showers. A few may contain brief downpours and small hail. Highs 52-59. W 5-15 MPH shifting to N.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Isolated rain showers early. Lows 42-49. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated rain showers midday. Highs 57-63 South Coast, 64-71 elsewhere. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 47-54. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 66-74 South Coast, 75-83 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s South Coast, upper 70s to middle 80s elsewhere.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s South Coast, upper 70s to middle 80s elsewhere.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 5-9)
A front will be in the region for much of this period with temperature swings and also the risk of a few episode of wet weather. However there will be stretches of fair weather as well. Timing and details uncertain at this point.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 10-14)
For now staying with the outlook for a typical springtime up/down temperature pattern with a few episodes of unsettled weather.

7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 29-MAY 3)
Low pressure moves in today and then spins around and does a mini loop over New England as if to remind us of the stormy pattern we endured not so long ago, but also like a farewell as we have a big change in the weather pattern above to take place right as the month changes. This is when high pressure will build along the East Coast as the low departs and brings a taste of summer weather to the region. Detailed forecast…
TODAY: Mainly cloudy. Rain showers likely, most numerous mid to late morning southwestern NH, central MA, and eastern CT, and most numerous late morning and midday southeastern NH, eastern MA, and RI. Highs 55-62. Wind variable 5-10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated rain showers. Lows 45-51. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated to scattered rain showers. Highs 52-59. W 5-15 MPH shifting to N.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 42-49. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 57-63 South Coast, 64-71 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s South Coast, upper 70s to lower 80s elsewhere.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s South Coast, upper 70s to middle 80s elsewhere.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 4-8)
A front will be in the region for much of this period so timing it in regards to temperature and precipitation threats is difficult this far in advance. Preliminary call is that May 4 is warm but brings a risk of showers, May 5 is cooler but the South Coast may run a rain risk, May 6 is warmer with a slight risk of showers, then additional temperature fluctuations and shower threats possible May 7-8 also. Don’t read this as a rainy period of days as there will probably be stretches of very nice weather between wet weather threats.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 9-13)
For now going with a typical springtime up/down temperature pattern with a few episodes of unsettled weather.

2:10AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 28-MAY 2)
A split weekend with a fair/mild day today then a cooler/unsettled day Sunday as a front moves in, and stalls over the region as low pressure cuts off over northern New England. This low will then sit and spin through Monday, keeping it unsettle, before departing as May begins, with fair weather returning Tuesday and continuing Wednesday as a high pressure ridge strengthening to the south of the region brings an increasing westerly flow and a taste of summer. Forecast details…
TODAY: Low clouds and areas of fog early, then sunshine. Highs 57-66 coast, 67-74 inland. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows 46-54. Wind S under 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely morning and midday becoming less numerous thereafter. Highs 55-62. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated rain showers. Lows 45-51. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered rain showers. Highs 55-63. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s South Coast, upper 70s to lower 80s elsewhere.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 3-7)
The feel of summer hangs on May 3 with dry, breezy, warm weather except a little cooler in typical areas near the South Coast. Cold front drops into the region May 4 with clouds and rain showers likely but still mild. Cooler May 5 and the front may hang up south of the region with clouds dominating and some additional wet weather possible near the South Coast. The front may lift north again May 6 putting the region back into the warm side but still with a risk of rain showers and possible thunderstorms, before dropping south of the region with cooler and still potentially unsettled weather May 7. The forecast for the middle and end of this period is low confidence.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 8-12)
For now going with a typical springtime up/down temperature pattern with a few episodes of unsettled weather, that most likely early and again late in the period with fair weather dominating in between. However this far out timing is uncertain.

6:59AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 27-MAY 1)
A wave of low pressure moves rapidly northeastward and brings a return to wet weather this afternoon and evening to southeastern New England. Behind this we get into a mild southwesterly air flow ahead of a cold front on Saturday. This front will bring rain showers to the region Saturday night but a rapidly closing-off upper low will then slow the front and allow a wave of low pressure to develop on it, however already north of the region, but close enough to prolong unsettled weather to some extent through all of Sunday and Monday.
