DAYS 1-5 (MAY 27-31)
High pressure in control of the weather makes today an easy pick of the week. It warms a little over yesterday, especially inland, but the coast will feel a cooling sea breeze. You’ll see some high clouds fanning up from the southwest during the day, but they won’t do much to interfere with the sun. Those clouds will start to increase during tomorrow though as high pressure slips offshore and low pressure heads for the Great Lakes with its warm front approaching our area. This front can bring some rain later Wednesday night then sets us up for a more humid and showery Thursday behind it and ahead of a cold front, the latter of which will pass by as low pressure moves eastward across southeastern Canada late Thursday to early Friday. You’d think that the passage of low pressure to our north and a cold front moving through would clear things out and set the stage for a couple of fair weather days. That often happens, but not this time, again. We’ll have upper level low pressure lingering and moving slowly through the region during the last couple days of the month – Friday and Saturday. The front that goes by won’t get that far east of here, and while an additional trough may kick off a few showers Friday, I’m watching for a potential wave of low pressure coming up that frontal boundary go bring some additional rain. If the timing is just so, most of that rain will come through Friday night and taper off Saturday, but it would likely still be an unsettled start to the weekend (and finish to May) with additional showers. There are several days to fine-tune this part of the forecast.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 66-73, coolest coast. Wind N to E up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Some high clouds. Lows 49-56. Wind E to SE under 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 64-71, coolest coast. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 53-60. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Highs 66-73, coolest South Coast. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 55-62. Wind S 5-15 MPH shifting to W.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Highs 66-73. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 55-62. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 63-70. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 1-5)
June 1 looks drier, maybe a pop-up shower with the last of upper level low pressure lingering before moving away, with temperature on the cooler side of average. Warmer weather looms in the early days of June behind this as high pressure sets up to our south and a more westerly flow results. Maybe the next disturbance later in the period brings a shower / t-storm chance.
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 6-10)
Still not high confidence in this forecast period, but a little weak blocking may try to return with some additional unsettled weather, but this version of it would be less impactful than the events we saw during May.
Thanks TK !
Thank you TK.
Good morning and thank you TK.
50 overnight with a current temperature of 67 here. NICE!
Wow. You are a fair amount warmer than here. I need to ck my numbers.
Thank you TK! Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend.
Thanks TK! Looks like a pattern change finally coming after this weekend?
Thank you, TK
Up to 59 from an overnight low of 43
Happy birthday to Shotime!!
Odd temp differences on nws stations near here.
The 59 is the station I compare my numbers with as itโs maybe a Mile as the crow flies. Itโs always in line with my kestrel meters. But the 70 is maybe three miles from here in Douglas.
On the right, the 62 and 50 are either side of my daughters house in Uxbridge and maybe 2ish miles apart.

It is currently a DELIGHTFUL 70 here in JP!
It is currently a delightful 66 or 70 in sutton depending on which side of the bed you roll out of.
I’ll bet it is 70
Kestrels say 70.8. And the Nws station nearest me caught up and says 71
Not sure what was up
Happy Birthday Shotime !
Just had our last fire drill of the year.
Cruel ….. now we all know how nice it is outside and what we are missing.
Don’t go back in, ๐ ๐ ๐
Hahahahaha
Thanks TK. Beautiful day, but we just canโt seem to buy a nice Saturday/Sunday combo.
You are so right. Hopefully, they are coming…..
Now up to 72 here. WOW! What a Day!!!!
I should have taken it off!!!!!!! DUH, am I ever dumb!!!!
Thanks, TK!
Back to the classroom today after a two-week medical leave.
I was feeling great until I saw the pile of work waiting for me to correct when I walked into my classroom!!!! ๐
17 more days till retirement after today!
47 when I left the casa this morning.
You reverted back to age 47 this morning? Now you don’t have to retire.
Hahahahahaha
18 more years???? No way! Hahahahaha ๐
Some days I feel like I’ve aged 18 years at 2 pm.
LOL !!!! Yup !!!!
The 12z GFS is working its way over to the Euro for later Friday.
Thinking back, I think the Euro had last week’s noreaster earlier, more accurately and with a better intensity than the GFS had until we were within 24 hrs.
Someone in the northeast is looking at a generous rainfall later Friday into Friday night. Details of where and how much TBD.
The 12z GDPS offers a different scenario with all the pieces and maybe not much rain Fri late into Friday night.
The 12z ICON has a very rainy outcome.
Models going to have to resolve the interaction btwn a trof in eastern Canada and the energy moving across the US.
Do the 2 phase earlier, may get a healthy storm west of us.
Do the phase a little later, may get a moderate rain across the region
Do they not phase and the eastern Canada trof suppresses the US energy and we miss most of the rain.
73 now
Ah ha. A new NWS crew member spotted on the same street a mile from here where the sensor with this mornings low reading was located.
Just kidding. I think โฆ..well he is on that street but I donโt think heโs an employee

With the deep cuts, NWS may very well have to rely on animals for observations, as they have good senses as to weather changes. They find a way to survive. ๐
So true. I will say nws is feeding him well. He is very healthy looking
Haha ๐

Like with last week’s system, Euro being consistent on this one.
Rain again on Saturday? Say it ain’t so! What’s the prescription streak at now? I’ve lost track.
That should say precipitation lol
Eric F answered my question. If it rains Saturday, it will be the 11th Saturday in a row for precipitation for Worcester. It just can’t continue…
Most of them have only been partially wet – not wash-outs.
Still not that bad, in reality. ๐
Looks like Iโll get Friday in Tk
So far.

Middleborough’s Sean Newcomb was designated for assignment on Saturday and was traded this afternoon to the (insert name here) Athletics for cash considerations.
Rainy Saturdays: There have been a lot of them in a row but some are no more than a trace and others mostly done before daybreak or occur late evening..
My problem is I like to hike in the mountains on Saturdays and the trail reports have not been great. Some of the trails have been more like rivers lately.
Ugh. Hoping Saturdayโs improve for you.
Thanks, TK.
Charlotte NC recorded a high temp of lower than 61 for the first time on record for this date. High temps of 60 or lower in the entire month of May are fairly rare, and to have one happen this late in the month is exceedingly rare.
New post…
