DAYS 1-5 (MAY 21-25)…
Good (late) morning all. Sorry for the later-than-usual post. Lots to pull together not-related to the blog, and then sitting here looking things over in preparation for this discussion when I realized that there isn’t really any change to the thinking, so after I get the chance to sit down and write what I thought might be an involved discussion about the upcoming weather, I realized only a quick summary is needed and then we can go right to a forecast update. So the summary is basically that we do have the progressive low coming along, spreading its clouds across the region today which thicken up by tonight but it appears, as was suspected, that the bulk of the rain will occur in far southeastern portions of New England. The rain from that low will probably never reach northern MA and NH, though these areas may see some pop up instability showers and possibly a thunderstorm during Sunday afternoon (as previously discussed). The first low will try to be captured by an upper low cutting off just south of New England but will essentially dissipate as a second surface low with the upper cut off comes into the region later Monday into Tuesday with more wet weather (also no big changes in previous thinking here). When we get to Wednesday, it all gets out of here and the door to the feel of summer will be quickly opened as a large scale southwesterly flow takes over at that time.
TODAY: Sun becomes limited and eventually absent as clouds win out. Highs in the 60s immediate coast, lower to middle 70s interior. Wind light S to SE.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely southeastern CT, RI, and southeastern MA. Slight chance of rain elsewhere. Lows in the 50s. Wind light SE to E.
SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy. Chance of rain in the morning mainly RI and eastern MA. Isolated to scattered showers possible north central MA into southern NH in the afternoon. Highs in the 60s but may stay in upper 50s coast. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Rain risk increases later in the day. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
TUESDAY: Mainly cloudy. Periods of rain, decreasing later in the day. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs upper 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 26-30)…
The uncertainty during this period will be the position and strength of a front that makes an attempt to move through the region while high pressure tries to strengthen aloft during the period. For now will leave the previous idea in place of a period of warm to very warm weather with a risk of a few showers and thunderstorms at times, favoring May 27, but some potential may exist during each day. Will continue to monitor and fine-tune as we get closer, as May 28-30 is the Memorial Day Weekend.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 31-JUNE 4)…
Look for a cooling trend heading into the early days of June with a few episodes of showers as well. This is not a return to a persistent cool and unsettled pattern, but a continued readjustment of the pattern which is heading for a longer term warm/dry regime.

8:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 20-24)…
Transition from old pattern to new pattern is now underway. We’ll have a top 10 day today with high pressure in control and plenty of sunshine, but there will be some fair-weather clouds popping up as well, and you’ll also notice a bit of a hazy look to the sky, which is another plume of smoke from wildfires in Canada being carried in the upper level winds across the northeastern US. Two low pressure areas will impact the weather between Saturday and Tuesday. The first one will be a progressive system that will send high cloudiness into the region Saturday which will thicken up Saturday evening and be followed by some rain, especially in CT, RI, and southeastern MA, overnight and into early Sunday. During Sunday afternoon, any rain from this first system will be exiting offshore but some instability may trigger a few showers over interior MA and southern NH. The second low pressure area will be a system that cuts off from the main steering flow Monday and drifts northward across New England Tuesday, bringing areas of rain, though this will not be a big storm, nor will it hang around as long as cut offs can do sometimes…
TODAY: Lots of sun, but some fair-weather clouds midday into afternoon, and some smoke in the upper atmosphere adding a hazy look to the sky. Highs upper 60s coast, 70s interior. Wind light NW to variable but light coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 50s. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Sun often filtered through high cloudiness, which will start to thicken very late in the day. Highs 60s coast, lower 70s interior. Wind light SE.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely southeastern CT, RI, and southeastern MA. Chance of rain elsewhere. Lows in the 50s. Wind light SE to E.
SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy. Chance of rain in the morning mainly RI and eastern MA. Isolated to scattered showers possible north central MA into southern NH in the afternoon. Highs in the 60s. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Rain risk increases later in the day. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
TUESDAY: Mainly cloudy. Periods of rain, decreasing later in the day. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 25-29)…
Upper low departs by early May 25 and is quickly replaced by weak high pressure, fair weather, and much warmer air. Warm but with a risk of showers and thunderstorms at times May 26-27 with a front in the area (a little earlier timing than previously forecast). The Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend (May 28-29) currently look mainly dry and quite warm as high pressure builds over the region, though coastal areas may end up cooler depending on wind direction. Plenty of fine tuning to come on this forecast.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 30-JUNE 3)…
Memorial Day May 30 still looks warm and mainly dry. Showers and thunderstorms are possible on May 31, depending on the timing of a front. Early indications are for fair and cooler weather the first few days of June.

4:03AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 19-23)…
Disturbance from the west brings cold air aloft and an unstable atmosphere today while a sea breeze tries to keep coastal areas stable. This will allow showers, possibly with small hail and a risk of thunder, to pop up inland during midday and afternoon, then eventually migrate toward coastal areas as the sea breeze dies off late in the day. The showers will be scattered in nature, leaving some areas dry. The small hail will be isolated in the strongest showers. A few showers may also produce gusty wind. High pressure takes over for Friday which will be a magnificent spring day. The high tries to hold on into Saturday, which will be a generally nice day – just turning out less sunny than Friday as low pressure to the south starts spreading cloudiness in. It appears this low will get close enough to bring some wet weather into the region for Sunday, but should move away for a break on Monday.
TODAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Scattered showers developing midday and especially afternoon, particularly inland locations where some showers may produce small hail and possibly some thunder. A few showers reaching coastal areas at the end of the day. Highs in the 60s except cooling back to upper 50s coastal areas. Wind variable 5-15 MPH with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers evening. Showers and clouds vanish overnight. Lows upper middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light variable becoming N.
FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs in the 70s, some upper 60s coast. Wind W 5-15 MPH but a few coastal sea breezes possible.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s except 60s coastal areas.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Lows in the lower to middle 50s. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 24-28)…
A cut off low pressure area drifts through the region Tuesday with wet weather, but departs Wednesday with fair and warmer conditions, which will likely last for the remainder of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 29-JUNE 2)…
A weakening front in the vicinity may produce a few showers and thunderstorms May 29-30 (the Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day Weekend). Fair weather with a cooling trend May 31-June 2.

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 18-22)…
Nothing atypical about the weather this spring so far other than perhaps being significantly drier than average. The next few days will exemplify more of the typical weather we get around here, and that example will be furthered beyond this 5-day period. But I’m getting ahead of myself. First we have nice weather today as weak high pressure noses in between 2 low pressure waves, one that went south of the region keep its rain offshore last night, and another that will take a similar track but may put a bit of rain on the South Coast tonight. During Thursday, a disturbance from the west will make the air colder aloft and therefore we’ll set up an unstable atmosphere and pop scattered showers, which may contain hail. A few of them may produce thunder, but that is more of a long shot than a certainty. These showers may not reach coastal areas due to another ocean breeze which will stabilize those areas. High pressure builds in Friday and hangs on Saturday with great weather. By Sunday we’ll have to watch low pressure to the south for at least cloudiness and potentially wet weather, though at this point I am not sure if the wet weather reaches all of the area during that time. More to come on this system…
TODAY: Sunshine giving way to clouds at times, especially later in the day. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s but falling back to the upper 50s many coastal areas. Light wind with sea breezes developing.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A period of rain possible near the South Coast. Lows upper 40s to middle 50s. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Scattered showers developing midday and especially afternoon, particularly inland locations where some showers may produce small hail and possibly some thunder. Highs in the 60s except cooling back to upper 50s coastal areas. Wind variable 5-15 MPH with sea breezes.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers evening. Showers and clouds vanish overnight. Lows upper middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light variable becoming N.
FRIDAY: Sunny. Highs in the 70s, some upper 60s coast. Wind W 5-15 MPH but a few coastal sea breezes possible.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain, especially south. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 23-27)…
Cut off low pressure brings a good chance of unsettled weather during the May 23-25 period. Fair and warmer weather returns later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 28-JUNE 1)…
Warm start, a few showers/thunderstorms possible somewhere in the middle of the period, then fair and slightly cooler later in the period.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 17-21)…
Cloudiness returns today and departs Wednesday as a wave of low pressure passes south of New England. A period of rain may occur tonight mainly from southern MA southward. A weak disturbance will ignite some clouds and perhaps a spot shower on Thursday. High pressure builds in Friday and Saturday with great weather.
TODAY: Increasing clouds. Highs in the 60s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain overnight mainly southern MA southward. Lows upper 40s to lower 50s. Wind W under 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy start with a chance of rain mainly southeastern MA and RI in the morning. Clearing trend midday and afternoon. Highs in the 60s. Wind W to variable 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers. Lows upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s except cooler eastern coastal areas.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 22-26)…
Watching the evolution of low pressure to the south, a leftover from the recent pattern, that may send cloudiness in during May 22 then bring a chance of occasional wet weather during May 23-25 before improvement follows at the end of the period. Temperatures are likely to cool somewhat through mid period and rebound late.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 27-31)…
Fair weather is expected for most of this period, though there may be a few showers and thunderstorms at some point around May 28-29, which is part of the Memorial Day Weekend. Temperatures near to above normal.

2:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 16-20)…
A windy and cool Monday as the pressure gradient between a deepening low in eastern Canada and high pressure to the west remains fairly strong. Cold air aloft will still allow for some cloud development, though there will also be sunshine. A very chilly night is upcoming but I believe the wind may stay active enough and the air dry enough to prevent frost in all but the most sheltered valley locations. A wave of low pressure will pass south of the region early Wednesday, and will bring at least some cloudiness into the region later Tuesday into Wednesday, and perhaps a period of rain, which will favor southern MA southward. High pressure builds in later in the week with fabulous spring weather.
TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Areas of frost possible in deepest valleys. Lows middle 30s to lower 40s. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs in the 60s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain overnight mainly southern MA southward. Lows upper 40s to lower 50s. Wind W under 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy start with a chance of rain mainly southeastern MA and RI in the morning. Clearing trend midday and afternoon. Highs in the 60s. Wind W to variable 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 21-25)…
The weekend of May 21-22 will be dry and fairly warm, though there is a slight risk that a weak trough from the north may shift the wind onshore on May 22 for somewhat cooler air in eastern coastal areas. Watching a possible upper low to the south May 23-24 that would bring some wet weather at some point if it got close enough. Fair and warmer weather should be back by the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 26-30)…
Fair weather is expected for most of this period, though there may be a few showers and thunderstorms at some point around the May 28-29 period, which is part of the Memorial Day Weekend. There is a long way to go to fine-tune this forecast as that weekend approaches.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 15-19)…
No changes other than to bring back fair weather more quickly at the end of the period.
TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. An isolated shower possible. Highs in the lower to middle 60s. Wind W increasing to 15-25 MPH with gusts 30-40 MPH at times.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 30s to middle 40s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Sun/cloud mix. An isolated shower possible. Highs in the middle 50s to lower 60s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Sunshine giving way to clouds late. Lows in the 30s with patchy frost possible in the morning. Highs in the upper 50s to middle 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain mainly southern areas. Lows in the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs in the 60s.
THURSDAY: Clearing. Lows upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 20-24)…
Fair with above normal temperatures May 20-22 as high pressure dominates. Chance of rain later May 23 and May 24 with cooling trend as low pressure potentially moves in from the southwest.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 25-29)…
Fair weather early in late period with a shower risk mid period. Temperatures near to above normal.

1:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 14-18)…
A split weekend with warmth and a bit of humidity today, then a cool and gusty Sunday. In between, the second frontal passage in as many nights will bring a couple bands of showers and even a few thunderstorms, with all activity occurring between dark and dawn. It will be a great weekend for outdoor activities, though a limiting factor on Sunday for some activities will be some potent wind gusts, so keep this in mind when planning. Another cool and breezy day will occur Monday, followed by a tranquil Tuesday. A system approaching from the west will bring at least cloudiness and potentially some shower activity by Wednesday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny through early afternoon then clouds move in from west to east mid afternoon through evening. Highs in the 60s South Coast, 70s elsewhere, with a few interior locations reaching the lower 80s. Moderate humidity. Wind W 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Episodes of showers and possible thunderstorms west to east, ending before dawn. Humid. Lows in the 50s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Sun/cloud mix. An isolated shower possible. Highs in the lower to middle 60s. Wind W increasing to 15-25 MPH with gusts 30-40 MPH becoming common during the afternoon.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 30s to middle 40s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Sun/cloud mix. An isolated shower possible. Highs in the middle 50s to lower 60s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Sunshine giving way to clouds late. Lows in the 30s with patchy frost possible in the morning. Highs in the upper 50s to middle 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 19-23)…
Additional showers possible early May 19. Fair weather expected May 20-23. Temperatures near to above normal and may end up quite warm on the May 21-22 weekend.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 24-28)…
Rain risk May 24. Shower risk around May 26-27. Fair weather returns at the end of the period. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 12-16)…
No big changes. Broad trough swings through the northeastern US over the course of the next several days. We transition from warm back to cool and go through a couple periods of showers during it, with the bulk of the wet weather occurring this evening and Saturday night, leaving much of the weekend rain-free.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated showers are possible any time this afternoon then more numerous showers arriving this evening. More humid. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s, cooler some coastal locations. Wind S to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy through evening with showers likely along with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Partly cloudy with patchy fog overnight. Lows in the 50s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s, coolest South Coast and Cape Cod. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Chance of rain at night. Lows upper 30s to middle 40s. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 18-22)…
Risk of rain May 18, ending May 19. Fair weather May 20-22. Temperatures slowly moderating.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 23-27)…
Risk of showers returns during the May 23-24 period. Fair weather May 25-26. Shower threat again late period. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:26AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 12-16)…
High pressure dominates today and it warms up nicely over the interior while the coast is modified by a sea breeze, and sunshine will be in full control as it was yesterday. A broad low pressure trough will pass through from west to east Friday through Monday, but it still appears that rainfall will be limited to 2 frontal passages, the first late Friday and Friday night, and the second Saturday night through the early hours of Sunday. This will leave much of the weekend rain-free. Lingering cold air aloft on the trough’s back side may still cause a few very light showers but at least some clouds on Monday. The air mass change will be quite evident between Saturday (which will be 70+ in most areas), and Sunday-Monday, which will struggle to reach 60 in many areas.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 60s coast, 70s to lower 80s interior, but will likely cool back somewhat within a few miles of the coast in the afternoon. Wind light S with coastal sea breezes developing.
TONIGHT: Clear evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows in the 50s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers especially late day and night. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Shower threat returns at night. Lows in the 50s. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s, coolest South Coast and Cape Cod.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny and windy. Lows middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs upper 50s to lower 60s.
MONDAY: Partly sunny and breezy. Isolated showers. Lows in the 40s. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 17-21)…
Fair May 17. Uncertain timing but rain risk somewhere in the May 18-19 period. Fair weather May 20-21. Temperatures slowly moderating.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 22-26)…
Fair May 22. Shower risk mid period. Fair late in the period. Temperatures near to above normal.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 11-15)…
High pressure controls today and tomorrow. A broad low pressure trough will pass through from west to east Friday through Sunday, but it appears that rainfall will be limited to 2 frontal passages, the first last Friday and Friday night, and the second Saturday night through the early hours of Sunday. This will leave much of the weekend rain-free.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s but may cool to the 50s eastern coastal areas. Wind light N with coastal sea breezes developing.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light E shifting to S.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s interior, upper 50s to middle 60s coast but may cool back in the afternoon there. Wind light S with coastal sea breezes developing.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers especially late day and night. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Shower threat returns at night. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny and windy. Lows middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 16-20)…
Fair May 16. Uncertain timing but rain risk somewhere in the May 17-19 period. Fair weather May 20. Temperatures start the period near to below normal and end it near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 21-25)…
Fair May 21-22. Shower risk mid to late period. Temperatures near to above normal.

3:15AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 10-14)…
Broad but disorganized high pressure will dominate through Thursday, varying its center from southwest of southern New England today to north of New England Wednesday to southeast of New England Thursday. These varying positions of the center of high pressure will mean different wind directions daily, and this will have some impact on temperatures. On Friday, an approaching front from the west will bring cloudiness and an eventual shower threat. Most of this activity may occur Friday night and then get out of the day for a decent daytime Saturday between disturbances departing to the east and approaching from the west, the second of which would bring another round of showers Saturday night.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind W 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 40s. Wind light NW.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s but may cool to the 50s eastern coastal areas. Wind light N shifting to E.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light SE shifting to S.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s interior, upper 50s to middle 60s coast. Wind light S to SW except coastal sea breezes.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers especially late day and night. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Shower threat returns at night. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 15-19)…
Any showers should be gone by early on May 15 with fair weather returning and lasting into May 16. Chance of rain May 17. Fair weather returns May 18-19 as systems begin to move more progressively. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 20-24)…
Fair and warmer early to mid period followed by increasing rain risk later in the period.

1:55AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 9-13)…
Yes, the pattern is still in blocking-mode the next few days, but we’ve managed to get back to the fair weather side of the block, as we were in April. Other than a disturbance aloft passing by today and causing some clouds and a few isolated showers that should be mostly north of the forecast area, high pressure will generally be in control with fair weather through the middle of the week. I’m going to lean to the optimistic side and forecast the fair weather including a warming trend through Thursday. By Friday, an approaching front from the west should at least bring cloudiness and probably a shower threat.
TODAY: Sunshine with intervals of clouds. A slight chance of an isolated shower mainly in southern NH but possibly in northern MA. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusting above 20 MPH often.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows middle 30s to lower 40s. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusting above 20 MPH at times.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s. Wind W 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs upper 60s to middle 70s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 14-18)…
A broad trough will traverse the northeastern USA during this period and will bring several disturbances and a couple fronts through the region. The weekend of May 14-15 will likely feature a few episodes of showers but there will likely be periods of fair weather as well with a slight cool-down overall. Another round of showers or rain may occur early next week, favoring May 17, as a cool-down continues.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 19-23)…
More progression is indicated in the pattern with an overall warmer trend but still a few episodes of passing showers as air masses change a couple times. Timing of systems is difficult this far in advance.

8:04AM

Happy Mother’s Day!

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 8-12)…
Changing weather today as a cold front pushes across the region and changes the conditions from clouds and intervals of sun early to overcast with many showers from mid morning through early afternoon from west to east, then clears it all out by the end of the day. Low pressure to the east and high pressure to the west brings a gusty breeze and an upper disturbance allows for some clouds and isolated showers Monday before high pressure dominates with fair weather Tuesday and Wednesday. The next system may return clouds and a risk of wet weather sometime on Thursday, which is faster than most models currently show.
TODAY – MOTHER’S DAY: Mostly cloudy morning through early afternoon – showers likely west to east during mid morning through early afternoon, lastly Cape Cod. Clearing west to east during the mid to late afternoon. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH early, then SW 10-20 MPH for a while before shifting to W with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 40s. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers. Highs upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 13-17)…
Unsettled weather continues May 13 with showers. Fair weather returns later May 14 through May 15 but it may turn unsettled again later in the period with another threat of rain. Temperatures near normal overall.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 18-22)…
Fair and cooler May 18-19. Fair and warmer May 20-22.

8:44AM

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 7-11)…
A cut off low brings one more day of unsettled weather today. A cold front brings showers Sunday morning but then boots all the unsettled weather offshore by early afternoon (lastly on Cape Cod). High pressure moves in with great Spring weather early next week.
TODAY: Cloudy. Areas of light fog and mist. Isolated showers. Highs in the 50s, some lower 60s far inland. Wind light E to SE.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows around 50. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY – MOTHER’S DAY: Mostly cloudy morning into midday – areas of fog early to mid morning, showers likely west to east during the morning lingering to very early afternoon Cape Cod. Clearing west to east during the afternoon. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH early, then SW 10-20 MPH for a while before shifting to W with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
