DAYS 1-5 (MAY 11-15)

This 5 day period will feature 3 fair weather days sandwiched by 2 unsettled ones. If you’re reading this not long after I post it you may look outside and say “what do you mean unsettled? …it’s sunny!” .. Well yes, it is starting out sunny on this Monday morning but a fast-moving low pressure system is going to deliver clouds in rather rapid fashion as we go through the morning, and probably a decent round of showers, at least for most of the region, from the end of the morning through the early afternoon from southwest to northeast, briefly putting us into the warm sector between the warm front and approaching cold front, which will trigger additional showers and possible thunderstorms from west to east during the afternoon. While a widespread severe weather outbreak won’t be occurring, conditions are marginal for a few of the storms to attain severe levels, producing potentially damaging wind gusts and some hail as well. Generally, I expect most of the activity to be more benign, but stay alert in case. This activity skedaddles out of here this evening once the cold front passes, and we get yet another shot of chilly air behind it for Tuesday and Wednesday. Both days will features a gusty breeze and diurnal cloudiness, probably more cloudiness/wind/chilly air Tuesday than Wednesday. By Thursday, you’ll notice the air turning much milder as the high pressure area that delivers the chill will have moved off to the east and its return flow will be pulling air from a warmer source region. Along with this may come some increased high and mid level cloudiness as the upper air warms. For now, expecting it to remain dry for the daytime hours of Thursday.

TODAY: Sunny start then clouding over with showers arriving southwest to northeast by late morning through early afternoon. Remaining mostly cloudy with additional showers and a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. Highs 58-65. Wind S 5-15 MPH, gusts over 20 MPH.

TONIGHT: Cloudy with a chance of rain showers early, then clearing. Lows 38-45. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 53-60. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 43-50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 63-70 except 55-62 South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Risk of rain. Lows 48-55. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers and thunderstorms. Highs ranging from 55-62 Cape Cod and South Coast to 70-77 interior valley locations. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 16-20)

Bubble of high pressure brings fair but continued mild weather May 16. Watching for a back-door cold front to turn it much cooler during May 17 while moisture from the west as well as from off the ocean combine to bring cloudiness and eventually wet weather. May remain somewhat unsettled May 18 with additional drizzle/showers but temperatures may range from quite cool coast to milder inland. Should transition back to fair and seasonably mild weather May 19-20 as high pressure moves in.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 21-25)

General pattern in this time frame continues to look zonal (west to east) and more relaxed toward seasonably milder with a couple minor rainfall threats.

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 10-14)

Today will be an improvement over yesterday, weather-wise, though I have to admit I was pretty stoked to see snow, graupel, and really neat clouds yesterday. I’m an exception to the rule, I get that. Most of you want to see a more traditional type of spring weather, by the definition you’d read. While May snow is quite rare, chilly spring weather is not, and we’ll have more of that today along with a gusty breeze, but today will not be as cold as yesterday, nor will the wind be nearly as strong. There will also be somewhat more sunshine, but it will still have to share the sky with clouds. But as previously mentioned, in stark contrast to last Mother’s Day, which was rainy with even some pockets of sleet, this one will be dry. And while we are on the subject, a happy mother’s day to all who qualify (you know who you are!). Looking ahead, still looks unsettled Monday due to a passing low pressure area. This one will have cold air aloft to work with but this time that is not going to aid in producing another May snowfall. This time it may help trigger a thunderstorm among the numerous showers passing through the region. And then things turn for the better as behind this, Tuesday through Thursday all look dry. Tuesday and Wednesday will be on the coolish side but not too bad, a gusty breeze at times, and some clouds at times as well, most of which will pass by Tuesday night fairly unnoticed as a weak disturbance traverses the region in an otherwise high pressure dominated couple days. We may see a little more cloudiness at times Thursday, an occurrence common to a warming of the atmosphere aloft.

TODAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 48-55. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with a chance of rain showers early, then clearing. Lows 38-45. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 56-63. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 43-50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 63-70 except 55-62 South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 15-19)

Warm front cold front combo crosses the region with parent low pressure tracking north of New England May 15 bringing mild air but some rain showers. Fair, slightly cooler May 16. Next low pressure system brings a risk of wet weather sometime in the May 17-18 time frame. Dry at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 20-24)

General pattern in this time frame continues to look zonal (west to east) and more relaxed toward seasonably milder with a couple minor rainfall threats.

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 9-13)

Sorry I’m a little late with today’s blog weather update. I was outside playing in the snow, and listening to Christmas music. True, and true. Hey, I admit it. How often do you get to do that in May in southern New England? Not often. So now that I’m back in with a warm cup of cocoa and decorating my tree (ok that part is not true), it’s time to take a look at what’s coming up. The last of the flakes from this morning’s event are exiting via the coastline. But that is not necessarily the end of the threat of frozen stuff falling from the sky today, as the air both at the surface and aloft is anomalously cold, and as the departing storm intensifies, in addition to the blustery winds, lots of clouds will linger and some additional showers of rain, snow, and perhaps graupel may occur. The short explanation of graupel, sometimes called “soft hail”, is that it is basically rimed snowflakes partially melted and refrozen, almost the same way a hailstone forms in a thunderstorm, which then falls to earth resembling a tiny styrofoam ball. So if you see these today, don’t be surprised. These showers will not be widespread. If you get one, it will pass quickly. And tonight, get ready for a wintry feel to the air as the breeze keeps blowing and the temperature falls into the 30s with wind chills in the 20s. A little better for Sunday, more sun to start but additional clouds will still pop up with cold air aloft, but it will recover to the 50s. You’ll still have to deal with a gusty breeze at times if you’re outside. But unlike last Mother’s Day, it will be dry. Last year we had rain and cold and even some ice pellets (sleet) falling. So for some locations this is indeed the second year in a row with frozen precipitation on the second weekend of May. So will we be able to talk about something other than wintry stuff in May? Yes indeed. We will be starting a transition out of the current pattern before the end of this 5-day period, but don’t expect to suddenly jump into warm sunshine days. This will be a process, which will just be getting underway in the atmosphere. You won’t notice a big change through observation of sensible weather through this 5 day period. In fact, Monday we have another disturbance heading this way, small but rather potent, bringing at least a threat of showers, and perhaps even some thunderstorm activity, despite it being on the cool side still. Behind this comes a reinforcing shot of cool air but dry weather for Tuesday. A small disturbance will pass by with cloudiness Tuesday night or early Wednesday and then yet another cool and breezy but dry day can be expected Wednesday.

TODAY: Snow, rain to the south, ending from west to east through mid morning, but remaining mostly cloudy with additional showers of rain, snow, and possible graupel midday and afternoon. Highs 42-49. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusts 35-45 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sunny start mixed sun and clouds. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 48-55. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with a chance of rain showers early, then clearing. Lows 38-45. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Lots of clouds early then sun and passing clouds. Highs 56-63. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 14-18)

Variable cloud cover at times but considerably milder May 14-15 as a warm front cold front combo crosses the region with parent low pressure tracking north of New England. Fair, slightly cooler May 16. Next low pressure system brings a risk of wet weather sometime in the May 17-18 time frame.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 19-23)

General pattern in this time frame looks zonal (west to east) and more relaxed toward seasonably milder with a couple minor rainfall threats.

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 8-12)

High pressure brings nice weather to start today but clouds will be on the advance ahead of a cold front and developing low pressure system later, and tonight we’ll turn wet with rain arriving, but as the front pushes through the region and anomalous cold both surface and aloft arrive, we’re going to see rain flip to snow in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday in the higher elevations of central MA and southwestern NH to start, and then as the low pressure system, tracking northeastward close to the South Coast, starts to pull away, the mix/snow line will try to advance toward the coast. Now keeping in mind that it’s May, the worst that is likely to happen is up to an inch or so of slushy accumulation on unpaved surfaces in higher elevations and maybe a quick coating on grassy areas a little further southeast, into the Boston suburbs, which would melt in rapid fashion after daybreak Saturday, even if there were still flakes in the air for a while. Nevertheless we’ll be left with a blustery and unseasonably chilly Saturday, with lots of clouds and a passing shower of rain or even mixed rain/snow over the hills. This improves to a sunnier Sunday, still with some passing clouds, a breezy but not as windy, and a chilly feel to the air but not as cold as Saturday. I also think that we may be saved from a frost and potential late season freeze by the breeze that will keep the air mixed Sunday morning so the temperature doesn’t fall to it’s potential lowest level. At least this Mother’s Day won’t be rainy, mixed with sleet in some areas, like 2019’s. We’d also have to worry about a frost/freeze Sunday night / Monday morning, but I think the rapid movement of weather systems means a blanket of clouds will already be in place to keep temperatures in check. Another slug of rain is expected Monday with the passage of the next low pressure area, but this time rain, no snow involved. That moves away quickly and is replaced by high pressure with fair, cool weather Tuesday.

TODAY: Sunny start, cloudy finish. Highs 56-63. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusts over 20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain arrives, changes to snow pre-dawn southwestern NH and central MA higher elevations with up to 1 inch possible on cold surfaces, may mix with snow into northwestern suburbs of Boston with a possible coating on grassy surfaces and car tops. Lows 33-40. Wind S 5-15 MPH early evening, shifting to N with higher gusts late evening.

SATURDAY: Cloudy early-mid morning with snow/mix northwest of Boston, rain/mix around Boston, rain to the southeast, tapering off west to east. Mostly cloudy with passing showers of rain/mix possible thereafter. Highs 42-49. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sunny start mixed sun and clouds. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Highs 48-55. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with a chance of rain or drizzle early, then clearing. Lows 38-45. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 13-17)

General west to east flow pattern expected. Current timing would have it cool with a disturbance bringing the risk of a passing rain shower May 13, then dry and milder May 14. A system passing north of the region brings clouds and a brief wet weather threat later May 15 to early May 16 followed by fair and briefly cooler then milder through May 17.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 18-22)

General pattern in this time frame looks zonal (west to east) and more relaxed toward seasonably milder with a couple minor rainfall threats.

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 7-11)

Low pressure moves away and we get a sliver of sunshine for a while, but the atmosphere is a bit unstable and that combined with an approaching trough means some clouds will develop and may lead to a spot rain shower this afternoon, and an additional rain shower tonight as the trough passes. Ah, so that means clearing tomorrow right? Wrong. Another low pressure area approaches, and while we may start the day with some sunshine Friday, we’ll end it with an overcast that will remind you have the sky just before a winter storm, and how ironic, because with enough cold air around, parts of the region will indeed see some May snowflakes with the low pressure area passing by Friday night and Saturday. Is this a set-up similar to the historic snowstorm of May 9-10 1977? Yes and no. Similar, but not quite as extreme, so at this point, despite you seeing or possibly hearing about model runs that bring significant snow amounts, for May, to near the coast, that is very unlikely to take place. Focus on interior higher elevations of north central MA and southwestern NH for the best place to see some snow accumulation in the early hours of Saturday from this system, but not out of the question that some mixing can take place at a few lower elevations to the south and east of there depending on how hard it precipitates. Either way, we’ll be feeling some unseasonably cold air on Saturday, which may set a record for the lowest high temperature for the date in many areas. Conditions improve on Sunday somewhat, as it will be a brighter Mother’s Day but will remain chilly for the season and also breezy. When we get to Monday yet another low pressure area will make a run at the region but this one looks weaker and should track further south. The air will also have moderated to milder overall (though still cooler than average). This system could largely miss but leaving a rain risk in the forecast.

TODAY: Sunshine to start then clouds popping up with a possible rain shower. Highs 48-55. Wind N 10-20 MPH.

TONIGHT: Lots of clouds. A possible rain shower. Lows 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Some sunshine then clouding over. Highs 50-57, coolest Cape Cod. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely, may mix with or turn to snow across interior higher elevations of northern MA and southwestern NH. Lows 33-40. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers of rain, possibly rain/snow mix higher elevations interior northern MA and southwestern NH. Highs 42-49. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sunny start then lots of clouds popping up. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 48-55. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 12-16)

General west to east flow pattern expected. Current timing would have it dry and cool May 12, still cool with a disturbance bringing the risk of a passing rain shower May 13, then dry and milder May 14. A system passing north of the region brings clouds and a brief wet weather threat later May 15 to early May 16 followed by fair and cooler weather.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 17-21)

General pattern in this time frame looks zonal (west to east) and more relaxed toward seasonably milder with a couple minor rainfall threats.

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 6-10)

Low pressure heads our way for tonight but before it arrives a good part of today will be nice as high pressure attempts to retain control. The day that starts sunny will end cloudy however as the low advances in this direction, its track taking it just south of New England early Thursday. This will be a rain producer but a few mixed in wet snowflakes cannot be ruled out if the rain falls heavily enough, and this is most likely over southeastern MA in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday. During the day Thursday clouds may break for a bit of sun but another trough of low pressure swinging through from west to east in the evening may produce an additional shower, and behind this comes a shot of unseasonably chilly air for May, setting up an interesting scenario for the next low pressure area, set to impact the region later Friday into Saturday. This one will take a similar track to the first one, but with colder air to work with, and precipitation expected to be a little more substantial, enough cold air can work down to mix it with or even change it to snow across higher elevations of southwestern NH and north central MA, where is where any accumulation (on non-paved surfaces) would take place. I can’t even rule out wet snow mixing in close to Boston. Once the main precipitation shield exits early Saturday, we’ll be left with a blustery day and a few rain/mix/snow showers, depending on your location. Flakes would still be most likely at interior higher elevations, but it will definitely feel more like a March day than one coming in nearly mid May, and very much in contrast to last weekend. Last year’s Mother’s Day was cold and wet with rain, and even some ice pellets mixed in. This year’s will be cool, but breezy and dry, as we’ll still be in the chilly air flow behind Saturday’s storm system. So the next 5 days will be a throw back to early spring, for sure.

TODAY: Sunshine then increasing clouds. Highs 53-60, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with sea breezes.

TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain developing. Rain may mix with wet snow briefly in some locations, favoring southeastern MA. Lows 37-44. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, strongest near the coast with gusts around or above 30 MPH Cape Cod.

THURSDAY: Cloudy start with rain possible eastern areas. Breaking clouds later. Highs 48-55. Wind N 10-20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Lots of clouds. A possible rain shower. Lows 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 50-57, coolest Cape Cod. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely, may mix with or turn to snow across interior higher elevations of northern MA and southwestern NH. Lows 33-40. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers of rain, possibly rain/snow mix higher elevations interior northern MA and southwestern NH. Highs 42-49. Wind NW 15-25 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 11-15)

Rain risk May 11 and dry May 12-13 with temperatures below normal. Milder May 14-15 with dry weather May 14 and a rain shower risk May 15.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 16-20)

Dry start and end to period with some unsettled weather mid period during a transition to a milder pattern.

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 5-9)

We’re heading back to the cooler side of normal for the next several days, and you’ll really notice it by the end of this 5-day forecast period. Of these 5 days, today is probably the nicest of them all as high pressure controls the weather. It’s a cooler Canadian high but will provide dry weather, although the day starts out breezy before winds subside. Low pressure makes a run at the region later Wednesday, passing southeast of New England with the slug of rain, most of it falling Wednesday night, though clouds hang around Thursday as that low departs and a trough approaches from the west, perhaps triggering an additional rain shower. The next low pressure area will already be on the approach Friday so don’t expect much clearing for that day either, and this system will be a bit more potent as it passes, but once again it looks like the bulk of the steadiest precipitation will occur in the nighttime hours Friday to very early Saturday. This time, enough cold air will be involved so that some mixing or even a chance to snow is possible across the interior higher elevations. As the system pulls away on Saturday it will be blustery and unseasonably chilly for May with showers of rain and even mixed rain/snow across the interior hills continuing…
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 53-60. Wind N 10-20 MPH then diminishing.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 36-43. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 53-60, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with sea breezes.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain developing. Lows 42-49. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, strongest near the coast with gusts around or above 30 MPH Cape Cod.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of rain showers. Highs 50-57. Wind NE 5-15 MPH early becoming variable.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Lots of clouds. A possible rain shower. Lows 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 50-57, coolest Cape Cod. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely, may mix with or turn to snow across interior higher elevations of northern MA and southwestern NH. Lows 33-40. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers of rain, possibly rain/snow mix higher elevations interior northern MA and southwestern NH. Highs 42-49. Wind NW 15-25 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 10-14)

Fair, very cool May 10. Temperatures continue below normal overall but not quite as chilly with 1 or 2 minor systems with rain shower threats between May 11 and May 14.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 15-19)

Temperatures trend a little closer to normal with a mid period risk of rain showers.

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 4-8)
When I put a link to my colleague’s blog in the comments below, I suspect you’ll find similar forecasts between the two of us – nothing unusual there. He’s going to tell you that today will be the warmest day this week, which it will be, and that it won’t be as wet as last week, which it won’t be, but it’s going to turn quite cool, which it will, and that some areas may not have seen their final snowflakes of the season, which they may have not, but that threat is outside of my first section here as I suspect that risk to occur next weekend. So, let’s rewind a bit and summarize that as low pressure departs offshore we actually start the week with a clearing morning and mild air. This afternoon, a trough swings through with lots of clouds and spot showers. Any of these showers may be briefly heavy, but if you encounter one, it won’t last long at all. This is the leading edge of the cooler air that is the first of a few pushes, each one progressively cooler than the last. The second one will arrive behind low pressure that tracks southeast of New England late Wednesday and early Thursday, the precipitation largely staying offshore but a northward extension of low pressure or inverted trough probably bringing some showery conditions for a while Wednesday night into Thursday. A trough swings through Thursday night with an additional rain shower possible and this sends a push of even cooler air in on Friday ahead of the next low pressure system, which brings more cloudiness back in on Friday and the threat of some wet weather by Friday night, although this is somewhat uncertain at this time.
TODAY: Clouds over southeastern MA and RI and perhaps a brief touch of rain outer Cape Cod early morning otherwise increasing sunshine. Midday and afternoon clouds returning from northwest to southeast with isolated to scattered showers and possibly a few brief downpours. Highs 60-67. Wind variable up to 10 MPH morning, NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts this afternoon.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 35-42. Wind N 10-20 MPH, diminishing overnight.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 53-60. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 36-43. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 53-60, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with sea breezes.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers developing. Lows 43-50. Wind variable to N 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Cloudy morning with rain showers likely. Breaking clouds afternoon. Highs 50-57, coolest Cape Cod. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Lots of clouds. A possible rain shower. Lows 37-44. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 50-57, coolest Cape Cod. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 9-13)
A very cool May 9-10 weekend including a period of unsettled weather that will be mainly in the form of rain showers however at some point there could be mix or snow showers across the interior higher elevations. Mostly dry to follow but temperatures still below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 14-18)
Cool and dry to start period. Milder trend follows, some unsettled weather returns.
