DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 26-30)
Spring blocking dominates the large scale pattern as we finish off the weekend and head down the home stretch of April. A storm system that would have been able to move directly into our region in non-blocking is instead being deflected to our south and any rain near the South Coast will end by later today while clouds dominate much of the region, but can break for some sunshine at times as the day goes on. I’m now going with a drier scenario for Cape Cod Monday where I had previously forecast lingering rain, as it appears that low pressure area will be far enough offshore for dry weather. We’ll find ourselves between offshore low pressure and another trough further to the west early in the week with fair weather into at least early Wednesday. Offshore low pressure tries to move westward temporarily at midweek while the aforementioned trough to the west makes a move eastward with readjustment of blocking. While details are a little fuzzy, it does look like the western system will be the one that finally moves in with some wet weather for our region as soon as late Wednesday, but more likely on Thursday.
TODAY: Early morning rain potential South Coast / Cape Cod, otherwise considerably cloudy but breaks of sun become more frequent as the day goes on, particularly north and west of Boston. Highs 50-57, coolest coastal areas. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clouds decrease. Lows 35-42. Wind E under 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Abundant sun. Highs 51-58, coolest coast. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 37-44. Wind NE under 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59, coolest coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 37-44. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A few showers possible. Highs 51-58, coolest coast again. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Shower chance increases. Lows 42-49. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Showers likely. Highs 50-57. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (MAY 1-5)
Expecting a blocking pattern to continue with below normal temperatures dominant. Upper level low pressure can trigger occasional shower threats but the general trend is for mainly dry weather again.
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 6-10)
Expecting a similar overall pattern, leaning cool and somewhat unsettled but not particularly wet with more just episodic scattered showers.
Good morning and thank you TK
47 here
Ocean: 45
wordle: fail
Darn. Tomorrow. But hop aboard anyway
Indeed !
Today is another example of MANY in which we see a rain event largely missing the region, FINALLY (or I should say once again and hopefully for the final time) putting to rest the false belief that it’s only snow events that miss this region. This notion has never been nor will ever be true.
And we missed some decent rainfall.
Right around the Delaware Memorial Bridge, through all of NJ was a steady, occasionally heavy rain yesterday afternoon, into the evening.
The rain was decent in southwest CT, light thru Hartford and then shut off a few miles before 84 eastbound ends in northeast CT.
Welcome home. Sounds like you had a wonderful trip.
Thanks JpDave !
Yes, that rain would have been beneficial here.
Needed all the way from here, as far south really, as you want to go, so that was positive.
Welcome home!!!!
Thanks !
Thanks TK !

We left the Virginia Beach area just in time.
It’s in the mid 50s with low clouds, some drizzle and a decent NE wind.
The positive of the cool weather …..
I just set up the camper in the driveway in comfort and didn’t get attacked by 1 mosquito. Usually am drenched and have a few bites after doing this returning from a summer trip.
It’s a favorite part of spring for me. I can sit out in the night and not worry about the little buggers.

Thanks TK.
Bright sunshine and 57F here in Coventry. We had several hours of rain here last night but were on the western fringe of the rain shield and only received 0.23”. Though we can use every bit that we can get. Up to 2.03” rain on the month.
Meant “eastern” fringe!
Cloud dotted blue sky. 60.1 in SE Sutton
Still 57 here. 52 at the airport
Ocean has crept up to 46 in response to filtered sunshine and very light sea breeze. I doubt it stays at 46. Tomorrow morning it will be back to 45 or less.
Now 58 here.
