7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 21-25)…
High pressure sinks to the south today and and cold front waits until late Friday night or early Saturday morning to pass, and this allows for 2 much warmer days. Most of the shower activity with the front will occur Friday night, leaving the day mainly rain-free and hinting at a Summer preview as humidity increases ahead of the front. The front itself may be slow to depart Saturday leaving some cloudiness around and a risk of a few showers as well, but it will end up generally dry and a little cooler as the day goes on. A small area of high pressure will bring mainly dry weather much of Sunday but an approaching warm front may bring some rain as early as Sunday night. Not sure yet if this front stays nearby or lifts to the north and allows it to warm up Monday. Jury’s out on this part of the forecast for now.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 50s South Coast ranging to lower 70s many interior areas. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows in the upper 40s to middle 50s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH and gusty.
FRIDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Risk of a few showers and possibly a thunderstorm mainly interior MA and southern NH late in the day. Highs 60s South Coast, 70s elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered to numerous showers. Slight chance of thunderstorms. Lows in the 50s. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH but gusty at times.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy but more sun with time. Scattered to isolated showers. Highs around 60. Wind W to NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 26-30)…
Unsettled weather April 26-27. Fair weather returns April 28-30. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 1-5)…
A couple systems bring passing rain chances. Temperatures below to near normal.

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 20-24)…
Cool side of high pressure today / warm side of high pressure Thursday with fair weather both days. Approaching cold front brings cloudiness and rain shower risk Friday. Mainly fair over the weekend but there may be some cloudiness to start as Friday’s front departs early Saturday and additional cloudiness to end as a new boundary approaches later Sunday.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs middle to upper 50s coast, upper 50s to lower 60s interior. Wind N 5-15 MPH and gusty shifting to E this afternoon especially near eastern coastal areas of NH and MA.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows lower 30s interior valleys to lower 40s coast. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 50s South Coast ranging to lower 70s many interior areas. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Windy. Chance of rain showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs middle 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny AM. Mostly sunny PM. Breezy. Lows in the 40s. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny AM. Increasing clouds PM. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 25-29)…
Periods of unsettled weather but despite this, rainfall amounts may be lower than average, and there may be some mix including sleet/snow briefly in northern MA and southern NH one of the days. Temperatures below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 30-MAY 4)…
Periods of unsettled weather continue. Temperatures below to near normal.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 19-23)…
Disturbance moving through today has already brought most of its rain across eastern areas with less to the west, but unstable enough for some lingering cloudiness and a few additional pop up showers after we get some sun to cook them up, but they will be the exception not the rule for most of the region. High pressure builds in for midweek and we’ll be on the cool side of it Wednesday and the warmer side Thursday. Next frontal system is in Friday with a rain shower risk but mild air. Improvement arrives early in the weekend as things will be moving along once again.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Isolated showers possible. Highs in the middle 50s to lower 60s. Wind NE to N increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the middle 50s to lower 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 24-28)…
Dry pattern overall. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 29-MAY 3)…
Dry to end April. May turn warmer and more showery to start May.

8:12AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 18-22)…
Boston Marathon Forecast: As the various races begin, temperature ranged from the upper 30s to upper 40s along the course early, coolest in the lower interior areas, but will rise fairly rapidly through the 50s, reaching highs in the 60s along most of the course with a near 70 top reading possible. As the race goes on, a north wind of 5 to 15 MPH will turn to the east and the temperature will start to fall closer to Boston into the upper to middle 50s. Sunshine will be dominant overall but as the afternoon progresses and the later runners arrive there will be more cloudiness.
The weather today is still be influenced by high pressure trying to hang on but a front pressing southward will be bringing the cloudiness later in the day. The initial wind shift will be due to a sea breeze and not the actual front, which will pass by tonight. A wave of low pressure along it will enhance moisture for a period of rain mainly in the overnight and early morning hours. A clearing trend will begin after a cloudy and damp start on Tuesday, but it will also be on the cool side and turning windy. High pressure builds in with fair and cool weather Wednesday along with a gusty breeze, then this high sinks to the south and a warm up arrives for Thursday. By Friday, a front approaching from the west will bring some rain showers to the area but it will still be quite mild.
TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs upper 50s to middle 60s briefly at the coast, middle 60s to lower 70s interior, but cooling down during midday and afternoon especially closer to the coast. Wind N to NE trending more NE to E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely late. Lows in the 40s. Wind N to NE 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain showers early. Highs in the 50s. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH and gusty.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 23-27)…
Indications are for a return to a more progressive pattern which means unsettled weather to start the weekend April 23 should give way to fair weather to end it April 24. April 25-27 look mainly dry. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 28-MAY 2)…
Mainly dry weather for the last few days of April with temperatures fairly close to normal overall. Milder and possibly wet by the end of the period.

7:07AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 17-21)…
No changes. Forecast update.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s immediate coast, 60s interior. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 40s. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 50s to lower 60s coast, middle 60s to lower 70s interior. Wind NW to variable 5-15 MPH with coastal seabreezes likely.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers late. Lows in the 40s. Wind N to NE 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers early. Highs in the 50s. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH and gusty.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 22-26)…
Fair and mild April 21. A front in the vicinity and a few waves of low pressure may bring at least cloudiness and probably periods of unsettled weather April 22-24. Fair and mild April 25-26/

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 27-MAY 1)…
Mainly dry weather for the last few days of April with temperatures fairly close to normal overall. Milder and possibly wet by the end of the period.

7:42AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 16-20)…
Offshore storm gets close enough to cause more wind as it pushes against high pressure over the Northeast. The storm will also toss some clouds onto Cape Cod and Nantucket for part of the day today. High pressure will be more overhead Sunday continuing to provide fair weather. As we have been doing for several days now, we continue to watch for a cold front dropping down from the north and a small attendant wave of low pressure which still looks like it will impact the region more during the Monday night and early Tuesday time frame, but drive a new cool air mass in during Tuesday as the low strengthens offshore while moving away. For Monday itself, it looks like plenty of dry weather for both the Red Sox at Fenway in the late morning and early afternoon and for runners and spectators of the Boston Marathon. The tricky part of the forecast continues to be temperatures, which should be on the mild to warm side but still may drop fairly quickly at some point in the afternoon closer to Boston, as even without the front having passed the area would still be capable of a sea breeze developing. Looking ahead to Wednesday, low pressure moving away and high pressure moving in means cool and breezy but fair.
TODAY: Cloudiness for a while outer Cape Cod and Nantucket. Sunny elsewhere. Highs upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest in coastal areas. Wind N to NE 10-20 MPH with higher gusts up to around 30 MPH, especially coastal areas.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 30s. Wind NE to N diminishing to 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s immediate coast, 60s interior. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 40s. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs upper 50s to lower 60s coast, middle 60s to lower 70s interior. Wind NW to variable 5-15 MPH with coastal seabreezes possible.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers late. Lows in the 40s.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers early. Highs in the 50s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 21-25)…
Fair and mild April 21. A front in the vicinity and a few waves of low pressure may bring at least cloudiness and probably periods of unsettled weather as early as April 22 but more likely April 23-24. Fair and mild April 25.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 26-30)…
The trend for the final several days of the month is a return to mainly dry weather and temperatures not too far from seasonal averages, but this often means cooler at the coast than over the interior during many of the daytimes.

7:31AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 15-19)…
No changes at this time. High pressure dominates into Monday. Low pressure stays well offshore this weekend but may toss a few clouds in Saturday. Cold front timing still looks end of day or night time on Monday. Trough to the east of the region gets close enough to drive lots of cool air in behind the front by Tuesday.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast. Wind NE 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 30s. Wind NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy mainly eastern areas morning-midday, otherwise sunny. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs 50s South Coast, immediate East Coast, 60s most other areas, and some lower 70s possible interior valleys.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs upper 50s to lower 70s, coolest South Coast and warmest interior areas.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 20-24)…
Mainly fair, cool start and milder finish April 20, warming up April 21-22. Chance of rain later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 25-29)…
Mainly fair weather for the period. Temperatures will be dependent on surface winds but should average fairly close to normal.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 14-18)…
High pressure remains centered to the north of the region through Friday, providing fair but cool weather. The winds will increase from the northeast Friday into Saturday as an offshore storm squeezes the pressure gradient for a while as it tracks westward then southward. The only other potential impact from this would be some clouds for a time on Saturday. High pressure sinks to the south later in the weekend allowing for a warm-up by Sunday though some coastal areas will still be on the cooler side. Watching a front from the north for Monday for timing of a wind shift and a significant temperature drop. At this time, still several days out, leaning toward this occurring late in the day or at night, but will watch it due to the fact there is a daytime Red Sox game and of course the Boston Marathon.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest coast. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 30s. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast. Wind NE 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs 50s South Coast, immediate East Coast, 60s most other areas, and some lower 70s possible interior valleys.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs upper 50s to lower 70s, coolest South Coast and warmest interior areas.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 19-23)…
Mostly fair though isolated rain showers/drizzle may occur for a portion of April 19-20 depending on the position of an upper low and the wind direction, and very likely quite cool during these 2 days as well. Mostly fair, milder April 21-23.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 24-28)…
Risk of rain early in the period then a return to fair weather. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 13-17)…
Fair weather the next 5 days as high pressure dominates. We’ll be on the cooler side of this high as it’s centered more to our north through Friday. The high then sinks to the south this weekend and allows a significant warm up by Sunday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest coast. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast. Wind NE 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs 50s South Coast and Cape Cod ranging to 60s and lower 70s elsewhere.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 18-22)…
Watching a cold front for April 18 (Patriots Day / Boston Marathon) that may cause a significant temperature drop for at least part of the region. Not sure of the timing of this as of yet. Generally dry weather April 19-21 with a cool start then moderating. A weak system may bring a few rain showers by April 22.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 23-27)…
A rain risk early to mid period then a return to fair weather. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 12-16)…
Cold front slogs through the region west to east today, producing a ribbon of rainfall for part of the day, though clearing approaching from the west after the front passes may allow the sun to shine before it sets, especially the further west you are. High pressure builds in but centers itself north of the region Wednesday through Saturday. An offshore storm system may get close enough by Saturday for some cloudiness in the region though expecting it to remain dry at this time.
TODAY: Cloudy through mid afternoon including a period of rain west to east. Slow clearing west to east beginning late afternoon. Highs in the 50s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with gusts 25-35 MPH common and isolated gusts above 35 MPH mainly this morning, diminishing gradually and shifting to W during the afternoon.
TONIGHT: Complete clearing. Lows in the 30s. Wind W shifting to NW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest coast. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest at the coast.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 17-21)…
High pressure slips to the south by April 17 and any low pressure that was offshore is far enough away to allow a more westerly flow with fair and warmer weather. Front may slip down from the north turning the wind north to east again April 18, which is Patriots Day and the Boston Marthon. Exepecting dry weather at this time for that day. Continued mainly dry with fairly seasonable temperatures April 19-21.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 22-26)…
Starting out fair then turning unsettled with rain chances increasing by the middle of the period. Fair weather should return later in the period. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:20AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 11-15)…
Warm front today causes areas of light rain/sleet to start the day then the rain should become very patchy and remain generally well northwest of Boston by afternoon, allowing for OK conditions for the Red Sox home opener this afternoon. A cold front moves in Tuesday with more widespread rainfall. Continuing with the idea of a slow progression of this front offshore so lingering cloudiness Wednesday, then high pressure building in later in the week but its center remaining north of the region allowing a cooler north to northeast wind to dominate.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light rain and sleet possible in the morning then scattered rain showers mainly northwest of Boston in the afternoon. Highs in the 50s. Wind light SE morning, shifting to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts in the afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Highs in the 50s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty, shifting to W and diminishing late in the day.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the middle 40s to lower 50s, coolest coast.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest coast.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest coast.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 16-20)…
Upper level low pressure area may back westward toward the region for the weekend of April 16-17 with more cloudiness and possibly a few rain showers. High pressure builds back eastward with fair weather April 18-20. Temperatures near to slightly below normal April 16-17, then moderating.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 21-25)…
Dry to start the period then wet weather may arrive during the middle to end of the period. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 10-14)…
No significant changes so just going to the forecast update today and will expand in comments section later.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower to middle 40s. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 30s. Wind light N shifting to E.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light snow/sleet/rain possible in the morning then scattered rain showers mainly northwest of Boston in the afternoon. Highs in the 40s to lower 50s. Wind light E to SE morning, shifting to S increasing to 10-20 MPH in the afternoon.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows around 40. Highs in the 50s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the middle 40s to lower 50s, coolest coast.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the upper 40s to middle 50s, coolest coast.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 15-19)…
Fair April 15. Upper level low pressure area may back westward toward the region for the weekend of April 16-17 with more cloudiness and some risk of spotty rain. High pressure builds back eastward with fair weather April 18-19. Temperatures near to slightly below normal then moderating late in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 20-24)…
Dry to start the period then wet weather may arrive toward the end of the period. Temperatures near to below normal.

8:51AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 9-13)…
High pressure builds north of the region today and tonight while elongated low pressure sneaks out just south of New England, close enough for cloudiness but too far south for any precipitation other than brief rain/snow Cape Cod and Islands tonight. High pressure extends southward Sunday with more sun, but a gusty wind and cold air around will make it feel less like April and more like February or early March. As has been the case for quite some time, weather systems continue to move right along, and this means clouds and some light precipitation (rain/mix/snow) will be here as early as the late-night hours of Sunday night, into Monday morning, as a warm front approaches from the next low pressure system. With a little luck, this front will make it through the region for a bit milder air coinciding with the Red Sox home opener at Fenway Park on Monday afternoon. At this point it looks like any lingering precipitation would be in the form of rain and remain northwest of Boston. This won’t be the case for too long, however, as a cold front will slide into the region with increasing rain chances by Monday night and into Tuesday. This system should push offshore as high pressure builds in from the north during Wednesday. There is some question this far in advance at how quickly clearing will arrive, but will just leave some cloudiness in the forecast for now and adjust later, if needed.
TODAY: Sunshine filtered at times by variable high cloudiness, then less sun and more clouds later in the day especially CT, RI, and southern MA. Highs in the middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light NW shifting to NE.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. A period of rain and snow possible mainly Cape Cod and the Islands. Lows in the middle 20s to lower 30s. Wind NE 5-15 MPH but higher gusts near the South Coast.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower to middle 40s. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light snow/sleet/rain possible in the morning then scattered rain showers mainly northwest of Boston in the afternoon. Lows around 30. Highs in the 40s to lower 50s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows around 40. Highs in the 50s.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the middle 40s to lower 50s, coolest coast.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 14-18)…
High pressure builds north of the region with fair weather but cool temperatures, especially coast, April 14-15. Upper level low pressure area may back westward toward the region for the weekend of April 16-17 with more cloudiness and some risk of spotty rain. High pressure builds back eastward with fair weather April 18.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 19-23)…
Continuing to lean toward the drier side of a pattern of blocked up weather systems. Temperatures fairly close to normal and often cooler in coastal areas during the daytimes.

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 8-12)…
And upper level low crossing the region today will make the atmosphere unstable and create some cloudiness and spot rain showers. High pressure builds to the north of the region for the weekend but has enough push to keep a developing storm just far enough to the south and in a configuration that only a brief period of rain/snow is possible Saturday night over the South Coast region of New England. This high will deliver plenty of chilly air, however. A warm front will approach on Monday and may trigger some very light snow/mix/rain. The warm air will get in but an approaching cold front Tuesday will likely trigger more widespread rain showers.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered rain showers. Highs in the lower to middle 50s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy early, then clearing. Lows in the 30s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny but some increasing clouds especially CT/RI/southern MA later in the day. Highs in the middle 40s to lower 50s. Wind light NW shifting to NE.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. A period of rain and snow possible near the South Coast. Lows in the middle 20s to lower 30s. Wind NE 5-15 MPH but higher gusts near the South Coast.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower to middle 40s. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Spotty light snow/sleet/rain possible. Lows around 30. Highs in the 40s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows around 40. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 13-17)…
High pressure builds north of the region with fair weather but cool temperatures, especially coast, April 13-15. Upper level low pressure area may back westward toward the region for the April 16-17 with more cloudiness and some risk of spotty rain.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 18-22)…
Leaning toward the drier side of a pattern of blocked up weather systems. Temperatures not far from seasonal normals.

7:36AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 7-11)…
Milder today but unsettled ahead of a cold front though the heaviest and most widespread rain will be contained in a band that comes through later in the day and early this evening from southwest to northeast, and may even contain some thunder. Gusty winds will also be dominant. This area moves away to the northeast tonight but some unstable air still means a risk of rain showers at times on Friday. A
secondary front brings much cooler to colder air for the weekend. The wild card continues to be what happens with a developing ocean storm and whether or not its close enough to bring a period of snow Saturday night. Today, I’m going to split the difference and say part of the region, mainly southern MA and RI, stands some chance of getting into a ribbon of precipitation (snow that may start as a mix). What will not miss is wind and cold for Sunday. Looking ahead to Monday, the Red Sox home opener, it looks like the chill will begin to leave us, but this is often done with lots of cloudiness at least, and this time we can’t rule out some light mix/rain though this far out, odds favor that being further north and west and less so near Boston – but at 5 days away this is just an optimistic outlook.
TODAY: Cloudy. Scattered rain showers then an area of moderate to heavy rain arriving west to east late in the day. Highs in the 50s. Wind S 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Cloudy evening with rain and a slight risk of thunderstorms, tapering off west to east. Mostly cloudy with isolated rain showers overnight. Lows in the 40s. Wind SW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs in the 50s. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of mix/snow mainly southern areas at night. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Windy. Lows in the 20s. Highs around 40.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light mix/rain mainly north and west. Lows around 30. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 12-16)…
Cold front approaches April 12 with milder weather but a risk of rain showers. High pressure builds over eastern Canada and should be enough to keep unsettled weather to the south but also keep it on the cooler side, especially near the coast, April 13-15. Unsettled weather may return by the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 17-21)…
Unsettled weather early in the period, then a drying trend again. Though it still looks like a blocking pattern, leaning at this time toward being more on the dry side of it. Temperatures closer to normal but typically cooler along the coast than inland during daytimes.
