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.
