Thursday Forecast

7:13AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 28-MAY 2)…
Dry weather lasts through Saturday as high pressure, though weak, remains in control and one low pressure area passes by to the south during Friday. The timing of the next system looks a little faster and track a little further north so cloudiness is expected to arrive by Sunday and wet weather by later Sunday or certainly Monday.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 8-12)…
Milder early period then cooling again. Episodes of unsettled weather.

Wednesday Forecast

7:05AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 27-MAY 1)…
Dry and cool pattern in control as high pressure to the north successfully holds off attempts by low pressure areas passing to the south to move far enough north to impact southern New England.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs in the middle 50s to lower 60s. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows in the 30s. Wind light NW.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 7-11)…
This period may trend milder with a risk of episodic rain showers but this is a low confidence forecast at this time.

Tuesday Forecast

7:19AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 26-30)…
A frontal boundary sinking southward will provide an avenue for a wave of low pressure moving east southeastward across southern New England today. This system will produce wet weather, enhanced by a contrast between cold air sinking down from the north up against a much warmer air mass to the south. High pressure brings fair and cool weather Wednesday, and this high should be strong enough to shunt the next approaching low pressure area to the south Thursday and Friday, keeping southern New England dry not only those days, but also Saturday.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy. Periods of rain through mid afternoon which may include some mix with snow/sleet in southern NH and far northern MA, and embedded heavier showers with a slight risk of thunder especially MA/RI. Highs mostly in the 40s, some upper 30s southern NH and some lower 50s South Coast. Wind variable eventually NE averaging 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Cloudy with patchy light rain/drizzle early, then slow clearing. Lows in the 30s. Wind N 10-20 MPH and gusty.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs 55-65.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s except cooler South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 1-5)…
Fair weather May 1. Episodes of unsettled weather May 2-5. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 6-10)…
Episodes of unsettled weather. Temperatures below normal.

Monday Forecast

7:24AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 25-29)…
No big changes overall but some tweaks. Cloudiness today as a boundary sets up over the region. Wet weather Tuesday as low pressure rides along this boundary. Fair weather Wednesday as high pressure moves in. Another area of low pressure approaches later in the week but may stay far enough south to keep much of the region dry or just bring brief wet weather to southern areas.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs middle 50s to lower 60s, coolest Cape Cod. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain developing overnight. Lows in the 40s. Wind light variable becoming N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Overcast. Periods of rain and drizzle. Ice pellets may mix in at times in southern NH and extreme northern MA. Areas of fog. Temperatures steady in the 40s. Wind NE 5-15 MPH with gusts 15-25 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with rain tapering off evening. Clearing overnight. Lows in the 30s. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Increasing clouds. Risk of rain southern areas late. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
FRIDAY: Risk of rain southern areas early. Decreasing clouds. Lows in the 40s. Highs 55-65.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 30-MAY 4)…

Sunday Forecast

1:51AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 24-28)…
High pressure dominates today into Monday with fair and cooler weather today and milder weather much of Monday, though a frontal boundary will slip down from the north during Monday, cooling southern NH and northern MA by day’s end. This boundary will continue to settle southward at night and a wave of low pressure will move along it bringing wet weather which will last into Tuesday. High pressure builds in as this wave departs Tuesday night and sets up fair weather for Wednesday. Timing the next low pressure wave may be a bit difficult, but it may arrive later Thursday.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs in the 50s to lower 60s. coolest Cape Cod, mildest interior MA and southern NH. Wind light variable early, then N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows in the middle 30s to lower 40s. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs in the middle 50s to lower 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 29-MAY 3)…
Based on current expected timing, showers depart on April 29 and fair weather takes over late in the day through the weekend of April 30 and May 1. Unsettled weather returns late in the period. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 4-8)…
Unsettled weather is most likely to start and end the period with fair weather between. Temperatures near to below normal.

Saturday Forecast

8:39AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 23-27)…
Front slow to exit leaves today unsettled for a while but improvement comes slowly from northwest to southeast, first to reach north central MA and southern NH, lastly reaching Cape Cod. High pressure makes Sunday nice! A frontal system and wave of low pressure brings some wet weather by Monday evening and into Tuesday. High pressure builds in with fair weather by Wednesday.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy through midday with areas of rain showers. Slow clearing northwest to southeast thereafter. Highs around 60. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 3-7)…
Trending drier. Temperatures near to below normal.

Friday Forecast

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 22-26)…
Happy Earth Day to all! No big changes today as we have a primary and secondary cold front to come through tonight and early Saturday with some showers and possibly a few thunderstorms later today and some lingering cloudiness and perhaps a shower early Saturday, then high pressure taking over later Saturday through Sunday. Optimistic for being on the warmer side of a boundary for much of Monday, then having it sink to the south delivering wet and cooler weather by Tuesday.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. 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.
TONIGHT: 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 favoring southeastern MA morning and midday. Highs around 60. Wind W to NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.

Generally fair April 27-30, temperatures near to below normal. Possible showers and milder May 1.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 2-6)…
A couple systems bring passing rain chances. Temperatures below to near normal.

Thursday Forecast

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.

Wednesday Forecast

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.

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

Tuesday Forecast

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.

Dry to end April. May turn warmer and more showery to start May.

Monday Forecast

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.

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.

Saturday Forecast

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.
