As another marathon baseball game goes on at Fenway (hopefully the Sox pull it out though it’s not looking great as of the writing of this blog) and a the final home game of the regular season wraps up for the Bruins with a win over Ottawa, a beautiful day is ongoing in the Boston area, thanks to high pressure over the region. This high will begin to give way, however, as low pressure moves toward the Great Lakes, pushing a warm front into the region later Sunday into Monday. Clouds and showers will accompany this front.
The question for the last several days is how warm will it get on Monday… Well up to this point, the blog I wrote a couple days back about what I expect to happen pretty much holds true to what I am still thinking. So without repeating the entire thing here, I will say that it will certainly warm up Monday, but that the summery temperatures will be confined to areas well away from the coast (the East Coast may see delayed warming due to the front being stubborn to clear the area, and clouds lingering, and the South Coast will have a wind more off the water south of New England).
A cold front will sweep through the region from west to east Monday night & early Tuesday, but will slow down offshore. A series of troughs behind this front and some upper level energy hanging along the coast will likely keep clouds and a shower threat going through Tuesday. Clouds may even linger into midweek, depending on positioning of high pressure and proximity of an upper level low pressure area cut off from the jet stream not far south and east of New England. For this reason, the wording of the detailed forecast will be a little more generalized, until I can pin down how things will play out.

What a day it was today!! Back from my trip to some decent weather.
Hadi welcome back-I hope you and your family enjoyed the trip. I second the day today, just awesome. I was tempted to bring the shorts out, but still to early for me. I am looking forward to some nice weather.
I thought it was rather chilly today, not sure if i should blame it on the sea breeze, but it was very dry. It was very nice in the sun though.
Welcome back Hadi. It was a nice spring day and I hope everyone enjoyed it. Looks like warm temperatures for Monday away from the coast where I see 70s to possibly near the 80 degree mark. I know there is a mention of thunderstorms Monday night and Tuesday but I am sticking with the 1 I gave yesterday. Big severe weather day looks to be shaping up over parts of the Midwest where using the thunderstorm index SEVERE Level in some places EXTREME Level activity for us is quite POSSIBLE. Thankfully the cold front won’t be as potent when it gets hear but some rumbles can’t be ruled out.
