DAYS 1-5 (MAY 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure both at the surface and aloft dominate today with fair weather. The axis of the ridge aloft is far enough west to allow a north to northwest flow of air above us, and this has been carrying some smoke across the region at high altitude as a result of some wild fires in Canada. We’ll continue to see some of this today and possibly through Friday too. A series of disturbances will also come out of Canada Friday through Sunday. Friday’s may bring a shower into areas mostly north and west of Boston by late in the day. Saturday’s brings more clouds and a better shot at showers, but still not even close to a wash-out of a day. Sunday’s will be in the form of a strong cold front, probably timed for late-day or early evening, and this will bring a better chance of showers and possible thunderstorms to the region from north to south, but again much of that day will be rain-free. Another high pressure area comes out of Canada with refreshing air Monday after a weekend that will feature noticeably higher humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
