DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 8-12)
A wave of low pressure passes just south of New England this morning which starts wet then dries out as the low pressure area moves away. However don’t expect complete clearing and on the heals of this low comes a stronger one, tracking right across the region late Thursday with a more widespread and stronger burst of rainfall, maybe even some thunder. As this low moves away and intensifies and expands, we’ll see blustery conditions with gusty winds later Thursday right through Friday, along with some additional unsettled weather as a large pool of cold air aloft has to translate across the region. The weekend improves, seeing dry weather, a breezy/bright/cool Saturday and a more tranquil and milder Sunday.
TODAY: Cloudy morning with rain ending west to east. Mostly cloudy midday on. Highs 42-49. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy with rain likely, mostly from late morning to late afternoon. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 46-53. Wind SE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas and higher elevations with gusts above 35 MPH possible.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Breaking clouds. Lows 38-45. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, above 35 MPH possible.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Passing rain showers possible, especially afternoon, and some may contain small hail. Highs 45-52. Wind W 15-25 MPH, higher gusts, 35-45 MPH possible.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 32-39. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 13-17)
Low pressure brings wet and potentially windy weather to the region April 13 but gets out of here quickly for a mild and mainly dry April 14 before a cold front brings showers late day or nighttime and sets up dry breezy and cooler weather for April 15. Need to watch a wave of low pressure for later April 16-17 for a potential precipitation event possibly with cold enough air for marginal precipitation type issues.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 18-21)
Drier pattern returns. One system around mid period brings a brief wet weather threat. Temperatures below to near normal.

  6. Thanks TK
    In the something to keep an eye on category for tomorrow. Text from NWS Boston
    Key for surface based convection will be how far north does warm sector track before triple pt low pinches off warm sector from advecting northward. Some of the high res guidance hint at warm sector briefly advecting into RI and eastern MA with surface temps and dew pts climbing into the 50s! Some of the guidance has trended farther north-northeast with triple pt/secondary low. This would result in warm sector surging farther north increasing the threat of strong to severe storms. SPC Day 2 forecast has also trended northward with marginal risk now into NYC area. Will just have to watch how this evolves. As of now SB instability appears to be lacking.

    3. Quick analysis says 15, but I should probably look more, but I am too LAZY to do so. Hey, I played.

  9. Another mild day today? Sun is out and temps climbing fast here in Pepperell. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit 60.

    1. Hi Chris M. Welcome. I don’t recall seeing your name and also Pepperell. I have cousins who have lived in pepperell for years. Lovely area

      1. Hi Vicki, long time viewer here just haven’t posted much. We’ve been in Pepperell a couple years now and so far love the countryside vibe 🙂

        1. I’m glad you decided to post.

          You sure did find a lovely area If you come across Jim (FJ), Jeff or Judy, please tell theM cousin Vicki says hi.

          And please stay well!!!

  11. Thanks, TK…

    Brightening here and drying out.

    Wishing all who are celebrating tonight a Happy Passover!

  14. TK the thunderstorm threat tomorrow is it one similar back on Sunday 3/29 or a different setup this time?

  16. Some similarities between tomorrow and the February 7 event. Different storm track, and definitely not as dynamic overall, but the general idea will be for a burst of wind as the cold front approaches and moves through. A little surprised there are no wind products out on land for SNE at least for the Cape and Islands. I’d expect gusts 50-60mph there (locally higher), maybe 35-50mph elsewhere.

  17. I wish all who celebrate the happiest Passover possible. May you share this time remotely with family.
