DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 28 – MAY 2)
High pressure brings fair, warmer weather today and we’ll be rid of yesterday’s gusty wind. Cape Cod will be coolest due to ocean’s influence. High pressure shifts offshore tonight and Tuesday. An increasing southwesterly wind will keep more of the South Coast on the cooler side, while the remainder of the region sees its warmest day of the next five. Low pressure scooting quickly across southeastern Canada will drag a cold front quickly through the region, producing no more than a couple rain showers late Tuesday night / early Wednesday morning, and bringing a wind shift and a very slight temperature decline for Wednesday’s daytime highs. High pressure builds in Thursday with a day very similar to what we have today. You’ll see clouds on the increase later Thursday, however, in advance of a warm front which will move into and across the region through Friday, bringing unsettled weather – mild air, higher humidity, and a shower / thunderstorm threat to end the week.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 60-67 Cape Cod, 68-75 elsewhere. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing late.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 48-55, a few cooler pockets over interior valleys. Wind W under 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65 Cape Cod, 66-73 remainder of South Coast, 74-81 elsewhere, warmest over interior valley locations. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with gusts over 20 MPH in the afternoon.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. A possible rain shower overnight. Lows 52-59. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy with a possible rain shower early then mostly sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 46-53. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Sunny through early afternoon, then increasing high clouds. Highs 67-74, cooler coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Becoming mostly cloudy. A few showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorm overnight. Lows 53-60. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs 65-72. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (MAY 3-7)
Pattern turns unsettled as upper level low pressure evolves over the US Northeast. Initially, low pressure passes north of the region with a trough and cold front bringing a couple rounds of showers and possible thunderstorms to start the weekend on May 3, and an upper cool pool can trigger a shower on May 4. A brief fair weather interlude about May 5 is likely followed by additional unsettled weather later in the period.
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 8-12)
Strong indications of a blocking pattern with upper level low pressure in control of our weather – being an unsettled and near to below normal temperature pattern.
Good morning and thank you TK.
Looks like with the temeratures this week, April will go down in the books as warmer than average.
53 here after early morning low of 45.
Oceam temp: 45 1 (Boston Buoy)
Thanks TK
Thanks TK !
Thanks TK.

Is May 6 ❄️ still on the GFS?
Looking back at this months weather history, Saturdays have not been great. Could this Saturday continue the trend? Probably lol.
It wouldn’t be a Saturday if it didn’t rain. 😉
It didn’t rain the Saturday before last. 🙂
April 19 was spectacular.
Meh mostly cloudy to cloudy with showers in the area late evening is not that great but manageable :). I would call today a stellar day!

30% wind and hail threats, as well, in that moderate zone.
Yup, SPRING.
Up to 68 here. How high will it go? I suspect 75+
Major power outage in most of Spain and Portugal.

Saw that. It’s a mess. I have friends headed to Spain mid May.
Thanks, TK!
38 degrees this morning with 38 school days left!
The Taunton River looked pathetic this morning, worse than it looked 10 days ago. The banks are really exposed and there’s hardly any flow.
Wow, but if I recall, the Taunton RIver is not all that big, not wide and not all that deep, especially in the upper stretches as opposed to down near Fall River. I remember seeing it in Taunton and I thought, wow, what a puny little river. 🙂
Still holding at 68. I guess this is one of those days where it will take some time with the Sun’s heating to offset cooler air advection???? Seems it should be going up a little more steadily.
69 now.
70 here
I watched another movie entitled: Sarah’s Key
I learned something about the French that I never knew.
French Police assisted the nazis in rounding up jews.
DISGUSTING!!!!!! I looked it up to make sure it really happened and it did!!!
Anyhow, this is an amazing story! Wonderfully done.

Finally, 70 here.
It looks like the wind at Logan is about to go on shore. We shall see. It is slightly East of North right now.
A comfortable 72 here.
71 here
A few more of these days and I might change my nickname for New England from the Arctic to the sub Arctic.
But, I’ll have to see and make sure its not 44F and rainy all of Memorial Day Weekend, then Arctic it remains !!
I just checked Taunton/Norton Climate Data for April thru the 27th.
Extremely consistent temp anomolies at the 4 major reporting sites. I’ll admit I didn’t write them down and tried remembering them, so ……. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Boston and Hartford, both at +1.3F
Providence at +1.0F
Worcester at +1.2F

Don’t know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but some of the cloudiness looks very dusty brown in the northern Plains.
So did everybody forget that Saturday April 19 was like summer with fair weather and highs 80+ in most of the region? 😉
It has not rained every Saturday. Patriots Day Weekend was spectacular. All 3 days.
I don’t remember the fair weather. There were showers moving through near mass/NH border around noon I think. It was pretty much mostly cloudy to cloudy that day for our area. I think the further south you went the better the weather.
Guidance is fairly consistent with blocking evolving.
This should not be a surprise as it’s a typical part of the atmospheric transition from the cold season to the warm season.
The upcoming block likely places upper level low pressure in the vicinity of the US Northeast, which would produce a cool anomaly and frequently unsettled weather, but not necessarily overly wet weather.
April, you’d think based on the general public’s reaction was the “worst ever” but I think that was fueled by uneducated social media posts filled with hype. Most of the region is going to come in slightly warmer and slightly drier than average for the month. I have been saying it’s not been as bad as people think. Yep. I stand by it. Because it’s correct. 🙂
74 here while it is 66 at the airport with ESE wind. 🙂
Sounds like springtime!
This what I saw on BZ.

Add in last Saturday in March and then this coming Saturday. And no I did not say I believed it. I said I saw it.
Saturday is cursed! Haha jk. I just find it interesting. I recall lots of beautiful days this spring including today! I don’t mind cool and mostly sunny days. Doesn’t haven’t to be warm to be a nice day.
“Trace” on Saturday the 19th. Oh my goodness it ruined the entire weekend! 😉
Didn’t ruin anyone’s weekend but I believe the “official streak” will hit 6 Saturdays in a row.
Sure does. 🙂
I’ve been keeping up with the power outage in Spain Portugal and parts of France. At this point, I feel I’ve heard every theory possible.
Oh wow. I forgot to follow. Is power still out?
Power is returning slowly.
Thank you. Just looked also. No source yet from what I saw.

Thank you, Matt
