DAYS 1-5 (MAY 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the next several days we’ll see a battle between air masses play out over us while we see a battle between model guidance to resolve the details. Today, instead of going into specific model differences in this discussion, I’m just going to outline the outcome I see most likely and forecast that and its impact. There is not a whole lot of change to the discussion I wrote yesterday, so paraphrasing myself, this is how I see it all playing out now: Frontal boundary sits over us today but a bit to the north, allowing a warm-up, with less wind than we had yesterday. The boundary will start to slip to the south with time, and as it does so more moisture will be coming in from the west above us, so while some areas are still under a canopy of cloudiness and will still be when I post this blog shortly after 8:00 a.m., it is the middle part of the morning that may be the sunniest for the region overall, with variable to considerable amounts of cloudiness both moving into and forming over the region as we go through the day. Some of this cloudiness may be thicken enough to generate patches of light rainfall which may dot or wet the ground in a few locations later in the day or this evening, but this day is not going to turn into a washout by any stretch. Still, a nice Sunday overall given the warmer temperatures and lack of wind in comparison to the 2 days preceding it. Now, this frontal boundary will still be hanging about the region, mainly just to the south Monday and trying to push back to the north Monday night and Tuesday, with more unsettled weather, and one final low pressure wave will move through sometime on Wednesday, leaning toward slightly quicker timing right now, so that we may dry out before that day is over. This leads us to what will likely be the pick of the upcoming week – Thursday, as high pressure moves in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Variably cloudy – most sunshine morning, least sunshine afternoon. Slight chance of brief light rain in some locations during the afternoon. Highs 66-73, except 58-65 in some coastal areas. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, gusting 20-25 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 47-54. Wind shifting to N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain by late-day favoring areas south and west of Boston. Highs 55-62 southern NH and northeastern MA, 63-70 elsewhere. Wind shifting to E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Periods of rain. Patches of fog. Lows 48-55. Wind E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Cloudy with periods of rain and areas of fog in the morning. Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain showers during the aftenroon hours. Highs 55-62. Wind E to variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 48-55. Wind variable to S 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with rain showers likely during the morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 57-64. Wind S 10-20 MPH shifting to W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 39-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 58-65. Wind NW to variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (MAY 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching for potential impact from low pressure near or south of New England May 7-8 with slow improvement to follow as that system moves away and high pressure builds in. Still somewhat low confidence on this forecast and will detail these days better as they get closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weak to moderate zonal flow pattern expected with low amplitude trough tendency in the northeastern US. This would lead to a couple non-lingering bouts of unsettled weather with variable temperatures, tending to be close to or even slightly below normal if the pattern verifies as expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
