DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 26-30)
The final 5 days of April will present a few different kinds of weather generally typical for this time of year, first the continued damp/cool variety today as low pressure continues to coming up the East Coast, weakening, then the clouds-hanging-on variety tomorrow as the nearly dissipated low is slow to depart. After that the warmer southwesterly flow takes over but clouds will still be dominant Friday as a trough moves through from the west and possibly kicks off a few showers. We do get a summer preview again on Saturday with more sun but still a risk of a shower or thunderstorm ahead of a stronger cold front which will open the door to high pressure from Canada, but centered far enough east that the wind will come in from the north to northeast Sunday with much cooler but dry weather.

3:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 23-27)
High pressure brings fair weather today into Monday. Low pressure drifts slowly up the East Coast late Monday through Wednesday, cut-off from the main flow and slowly weakening with time, bringing unsettled weather along with it. The departure of these systems can be hard to time, but currently expecting it to do so during Thursday as a very weak system, bring replaced by a warmer southwesterly fair flow.

Pattern looks mild overall, but with more opportunities for episodes of wet weather.

7:43AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 21-25)

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 1-5)
Cooling down, a few episodes of showers or rain but no major storms expected.

7:35AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 20-24)
No significant changes. Clouds will be dominant overall, wet weather will be focused mainly Friday but will watch again later in the period depending on how close another low pressure area to the south is. Not convinced yet that it stays far enough south for a complete miss.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 48-55 coast, 55-62 interior. Wind W up to 10 MPH shifting to NE.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 30-MAY 4)
Overall mainly dry but may see ocean moisture fairly dominant. Temperatures near to above normal early period may then trend cooler.

3:11AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 19-23)
High pressure centered over the Canadian Maritime Provinces noses southward toward New England and continues to send an Atlantic air flow into the region today. Low pressure will move into the St. Lawrence Valley tonight into Thursday and send a front across southern New England which will then settle just to the south and provide an avenue for another wave of low pressure to come along on Friday. The front will never get that far away and a fairly cool north to northeast air flow is expected by the weekend as another high pressure area builds across eastern Canada. This type of weather pattern usually produces plenty of cloudiness, limited sun, and occasional wet weather in southern New England.
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Highs 45-52 eastern areas, 52-60 western areas. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A few periods of light rain west to east. Lows 43-50. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs 48-55 coast, 55-62 interior. Wind variable to N 5-10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Lows 38-48. Highs 48-60, coolest coast.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Lows 38-48. Highs 48-60, coolest coast.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 24-28)
Watching low pressure area to the south which may bring additional wet weather early in the period then a drier trend should follow. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 29-MAY 3)
Overall mainly dry but may see ocean moisture fairly dominant. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 18-22)
High pressure to the north of New England sends a northeasterly flow into southern New England today, which then shifts more southeasterly by Wednesday. Low pressure approaches from the west later Wednesday into Thursday but weakens during its passage over the region. A second, slightly stronger low comes along with its center probably passing just to the south of the region Friday and lingering offshore into Saturday. The trend is for cooler and eventually more unsettled weather with this pattern.
TODAY: Sun to start, then clouds moving in from the ocean (northeast to southwest) more solidly in the NH Seacoast and eastern MA coastal areas and less so further south and west. Highs 48-55 but may drop to the lower 40s eastern coastal areas later in the day. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy eastern areas, partly cloudy western areas. Lows 38-45. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Highs 45-52 eastern areas, 52-60 western areas. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 43-50. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mainly cloudy. Chance of rain/drizzle. Highs 48-55. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain/drizzle. Lows 40-50. Highs 45-55.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows 38-48. Highs 48-58.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 23-27)
A break with some sun possible April 23. Rain risk returns April 24. Showers may linger at times April 25-27. Temperatures variable, likely coolest with respect to normal early in the period and somewhat milder later.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 28-MAY 2)
A drier trend with temperatures near to below normal.

9:31AM

Happy Patriots Day!

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 17-21)
A fabulous weather day, maybe a little warm for some runners of the Boston Marathon, but about as nice as one can expect for being a spectator of the great race, or being at Fenway for a Red Sox game, which hopefully they are able to win today. There are no weather issues for traffic around Boston but these factors, a work day for many, and a Bruins playoff game this evening will all combine to make it a crazy day getting around the city. At least the weather is not going to hamper that. Bringing us the nice weather is a high pressure area centered over eastern Canada, but this high that is our friend today may become a little less friendly especially for coastal areas by Tuesday as it moves in such a way to change the northwest wind to a northeast wind and this may bring in low clouds and possible drizzle. Additional moisture will be added through Wednesday as winds shift more to the east then southeast, and then we’ll add low pressure into the mix as a couple areas move out south of New England during Thursday and Friday adding wet weather at times under a more solid overcast.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 66-73. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 46-53. Wind N 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny except mostly cloudy eastern coastal areas with possible drizzle. Highs 48-60, mildest interior areas. Wind NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Late-day or nighttime rain possible. Lows 40-48. Highs 50-58.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and drizzle. Lows 40-48. Highs 45-53.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and drizzle. Lows 40-48. Highs 45-53.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 22-26)
Lingering showers/drizzle April 22. More rain later April 24 and showers at times April 25-26. Temperatures variable, probably starting out below normal then ending somewhat warmer.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 27-MAY 1)
Expecting a drying trend. Temperatures near to above normal.

8:32AM

Happy Easter to everybody celebrating today!

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 16-20)
Atypical? Nah. Today is quite representative of the warmer side of what we can see here at this time of year, as recently we saw some of the colder side, and within a few days we’ll be reminded of that chill once again. First we have a summerlike southwest wind today providing the very warm conditions, but a cold front, which may produce a shower or thunderstorm in a few locations this evening, will put an end to the top-end warm weather and knock it back to a “very mild” place for Monday, which may still be a bit warm for marathon runners, though they will enjoy a brisk tail (and slight cross) wind along the Boston Marathon route and will not be greeted by a chilling ocean wind this year. That wind will wait until Tuesday when high pressure orients itself in such a way to turn the wind northeast, and you’ll know it, especially near the coast. This high should hold enough and slip far enough southeast to turn wind more southeasterly to southerly by Wednesday but low pressure from the west will bring unsettled weather by later Wednesday and Thursday.
TODAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 60-68 South Coast / Cape Cod, 68-75 far southeastern MA, 76-85 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, gusting 25-35 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms early. Lows 52-60. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 66-73. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 46-53. Wind N 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny except mostly cloudy eastern coastal areas. Highs 48-55, mildest interior areas. Wind NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Late-day or nighttime rain possible. Lows 40-48. Highs 50-58.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and drizzle. Lows 40-48. Highs 45-53.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 21-25)
This looks like a period of unsettled weather with temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 26-30)
This should be a period of drying weather with temperatures near to above normal.

9:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 15-19)
No changes from yesterday’s discussion. Forecast update…
TODAY: Sunshine followed by increasing cloudiness. Highs 58-65 except 53-58 South Coast. Wind light variable early, then S increasing to 10-20 MPH by late day.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 24-28)
Unsettled weather early in the period then a drying trend. Temperatures start cool then moderate.

11:19AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 14-18)
A little “text book” weather the next few days. High pressure centered just to the west of the area brings a light northerly wind and clear, somewhat cool but pleasant air today, along with an afternoon sea breeze near the coast. Tonight, high pressure crests overhead with clear sky and calm wind promoting radiational cooling. Moderation gets underway Saturday after a chilly start as high pressure slips off to the east. A warm front brings the risk of some showers and possibly a thunderstorm Saturday night then leads in a taste of summer for Easter Sunday. A cold front then brings a risk of a shower or thunderstorm Sunday night and leads to a fair and pleasant Marathon Monday (Patriots Day). A secondary trough coming through Monday night will bring in cooler air for Tuesday as high pressure builds across the Great Lakes.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62, cooler some coastal locations. Wind N up to 10 MPH but coastal sea breezes by afternoon.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-40, coolest interior valleys. Wind light variable.

Unsettled weather early in the period then a drying trend. Temperatures start cool then moderate.

7:36AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 13-17)
Cooler/drier as expected through Friday. Warm front approaches later Saturday with cloudiness, maybe some wet weather at night, leading to a much warmer Easter Sunday. Marathon Monday looks less warm, but still quite mild, on the other side of a front that may bring a shower Sunday night before dry weather returns.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 23-27)
Cooler and unsettled start then may moderate again later in the period.

7:43AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 12-16)
Warm air tries to hang on but a cold front heading across the region will put an end to that and bring the risk of showers and a few thunderstorms in the process today. Dry and cooler weather arrives for Thursday and Friday, into Saturday, but a warm front will bring the risk of some wet weather by Saturday night and should push through to allow a warm day for Easter Sunday.
TODAY: Sun starts, then clouds arrive. Episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms midday to late afternoon west, afternoon to early evening east. Highs 60-68 South Coast to 68-75 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
