DAYS 1-5 (MAY 25-29)

Popcorn showers dominated the Saturday third of Memorial Day Weekend. Now it’s time for the Sunday middle third, and while today won’t be a top 10 day, it’ll be nicer than yesterday, in that the shower threat is much lower. While some areas have abundant sun to start the day, others are under cloud patches, and the general trend will be for a lot of diurnal clouds to pop up in any sunnier areas, due to colder air lingering aloft with upper level low pressure centered to our northeast, but us still in the cold pool. A few of these clouds can grow to produce passing showers, but the coverage will be far less than yesterday. Monday (Memorial Day) will be even better weather-wise, as the upper low loses influence and high pressure builds in from the west. While we still will have some clouds popping up, they will be “fair-weather” clouds as I don’t expect them to produce any showers. Coastal areas will end up cooler Monday due to a light sea breeze there. High pressure will remain dominant Tuesday with fair, pleasant weather. At midweek, we see another transition to somewhat unsettled weather, but this time it doesn’t look anything like what we just went through. A weaker area of low pressure will approach from the southwest Wednesday with increasing clouds and a southeasterly air flow keeping the coast coolest. Thursday we find ourselves in a southerly air flow with more humidity, variable cloud cover, and a chance of showers, between high pressure over the Atlantic and low pressure to our west.

TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. A passing shower possible. Highs 61-68. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Lots of clouds early / decreasing clouds after. Lows 47-54. Wind N under 10 MPH.

MONDAY (MEMORIAL DAY): Sun/cloud mix. Highs 66-73. Wind N up to 10 MPH but some coastal sea breezes developing.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 47-54. Wind N up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 66-73, coolest coast. Wind N to E up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 49-56. Wind E to SE under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 60-67, coolest coast. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 66-73, coolest South Coast. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 30 – JUNE 3)

A low pressure trough aloft and a series of surface troughs bring a chance of showers (possibly thunderstorms) during the last couple days of May. Upper level low pressure hangs around then slowly moves away the first few days of June with a drying trend but temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 4-8)

Guidance waffles between weak blocking and progressive pattern prognostications, so there is little change in the low confidence outlook which leans slightly cool but not excessively wet.

  2. Thanks TK.

    Let’s keep it dry for a week or two, not sure that’s in the cards though.

  3. Good morning and thank you TK

    Sunny this morning, although not likely to stay that way.

    54 here after low of 50.

    made 61 yesterday.

  5. Thank you, TK

    54 / 46 DP up from a ln overnight low of 46

    We had a brief 63 yesterday.

  6. Thanks TK.

    The tv Mets advertising yet another wet weekend upcoming. So what else is new? Consecutive rainy Thursdays for starters.

    I suspect that the year 2025 will be noted for its “unsettled” weekends.

    1. Or it won’t be. All we need is a string of nice ones and all the others will be forgotten. The general public has a very short memory regarding weather. 🙂

      Additionally, most of these weekends have not be “wet weekends”. Most of them have been partially wet for one of the days.

      Like this weekend for example. 3 days. Day 1: Popcorn showers, wet about 25-40% of the day on average. Day 2: Isolated showers, wet generally less than 10% of the day and at that just limited coverage of it. Day 3: Dry. Not a wet weekend. It’s “unsettled” for reasons I describe in my discussion, but not “wet”. 🙂

      We’ve had a wet May. This is 100% true.

      As for next weekend. The news director says “hype rain for next weekend” and they have to do it. Probably won’t be a weekend wash, probably not even close. 😉

  7. Today is National Wine Day!

    I have a collection of 400+ bottles these days … large by most people’s standards but not even a speck of dust compared to real collectors.

    Wine consumption is going down and has been for the last 4-5 years. Other drinks are taking over such as selzers. Demand is down, but production is up … there have been many tremendous harvests in the last 12 years.

    Finally, wine production can be GREATLY affected by the weather. In 2011, the Napa weather was cool and wet and harvests got delayed. Rain followed by plant disease didn’t help. Production was miserable and what was produced was not all great. In 2020, a dry spell led to fires and many, many wineries had to toss their grapes. It’s a tough biz.

    1. Didn’t know it was national wine day, cool !

      Guess we celebrated Friday night 🙂

      That’s neat that you have a collection of 400+ bottles.

    2. I didn’t know either. Does sweet vermouth count as wine?? If not, I’ll toast to you all with a glass of Pinot Gris.

      And wow. 400 bottles. Impressive!!

  8. Thanks TK !

    Most of Canada and I mean locations way to the north in latitude are warmer and sunnier than us.

    That’s ok, I see ice and snow melt ongoing rapidly and once things start moving again, we’ll warm up.

    We cleared down here before sunset, the wind was fairly calm and wow, did it get cold.

  10. Thanks TK! I had to mentally prepare myself for what is one of top 5 coldest Memorial Day weekends I have been through. I was noticing baseball fans in both New York and Boston bundled up for baseball. Today feels cloudier and cooler than yesterdays start here South Coast. Taking a pause from yard projects for a round of golf. Happy Sunday!

      1. Looks awesome!!!

        I imagine would would get exhausted climbing up prior to making the decent.

  13. I’m starving for some sun and warmth. I’ll take whatever I can get. Come on spring! Thanks!

    1. The irony to all this: Spring so far is running nearly 3F warmer than average across most of the region. The sunshine hours are a bit behind the average, but March & April were both drier than average. Only May has been wet.

      I think media’s driving dramatic headlines have convinced a lot of people that this is the “worst spring ever” when it’s not even close to that.

      #Facts
      #Data

      1. The problem is that facts and data can be manipulated in a presentation. That’s what happens too many times in TV weather-casting. The best mentor I ever had reminded me frequently that there can be a wide gap between facts and truth.

        1. The amounts of times WBZ radio has talked about “rainy weekends” in the obvious effort to make it sound a lot worse than it is ……….. Yes, we’ve had a lot of weekends with rain occurring for part of them. But that’s different than rainy weekends, which by the way it’s worded is meant to make it sound like wash-out from one end to the other.

  14. Thanks Tk . Day of relaxation on tap. I think Florida is going all the way , I’m happy for Brad

    1. I will note I’m rooting for Florida for him only this year , as a bruins fan Florida is the enemy , except this year !

      1. As a Bruins fan, any other team is the “enemy” but I respect Florida’s talent and yes I’d love to see them go all the way.

        Wouldn’t be unhappy with either team out of the western conference if they won, but a have a slightly greater like for Edmonton than Dallas.

        2. I bet the Celtics have a much better chance of making the playoffs next season than the Bruins, in spite of Tatum’s absence. 😉 :mrgreen:

          I’ll even add the Patriots as a good postseason bet! My prediction is 11-6. 🙂

          Boston Bruins: 6 Stanley Cups in 100 years. 🙁

          1. Much higher than the average of 2.7. 😉

            And don’t count the Bruins out of the playoffs 5 months before the beginning of the season. 😉

            1. One more stat: ZERO Stanley Cups since 2010-11. 🙁

              Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics have won their respective championships since.
              🙂

              1. Well, the Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup 18 days before I was born. I turned 58 this week. So……………….maybe we don’t have it so bad. 😉

  15. I commented on wine production and weather above. I should have mentioned that climate is changing the wine game too. There is little doubt that wine grapes are in production in more northerly geographies than they once were. Part of it is due to growing techniques but a big factor is that climate change makes it possible.

  17. For race fans…

    Indy 500 ongoing. In car #2, Newgarden, who has won the last two 500’s, would be the first ever three-peat winner if he crosses the finish line first today. Unfortunately, due to a technical penalty he was placed at the back of the field at the start (33rd out of 33 drivers). The furthest back any driver has won from is starting 28th. Newgarden is currently in 7th position with just under 100 laps to go. Not out of it yet.

    1. And right after I say that, he’s out. He’d probably not thank me for the jinx. 😉

  18. Red Sox are behind again to the lowly Orioles. The Sox have played miserable baseball today, including a comedic little league play that caused two Oriole runs to score. There’s something fundamentally off with this team. It’s easy to point fingers and place blame. But it’s not easy to fix. Defense is subpar. Pitching is mostly poor. Hitting isn’t consistent. Team chemistry doesn’t strike me as positive, but that’s just opinion and not based on anything I know about how players get along.

  19. We hit a balmy 58 in Amesbury today and saw. The sun for like 15 minutes. Dreary.

      1. With a record of 9 wins and 44 losses, the Rockies are BY FAR the worst team in the league.

        Orioles are 3rd worst.

        The Sox came into today’s game with a 27-27 record (now 27-28). Folks may recall that I have said several times that this team is around a .500 team in general, and they will entertain us in a variety of ways this season. Going along exactly as expected.

  21. Made it to 60 here. I expected a little better than that. oh well.
    70 tomorrow? ha ha, I doubt it.

  23. Longshot. Just saw your comment about Pinot Gris. As you may be able to tell, I know next to nothing about wine. Mac has a good knowledge and his parents far better knowledge.

    Mac and I used to go to dinner at a hole in the wall restaurant in Belmont called Kitchen on the common. It wsas BYOB. Next door was a rather large liquor store…rather unique since Belmont wss always a dry town. We used to pick up a bottle of 2011 reuilly Pinot gris Kermit lynch. I may have misspelled. It was my favorite. Although I suspect it pales in comparison to the wines you have,
