DAYS 1-6 (MAY 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly we’re in one of those periods of time where forecast confidence takes a hit, even in the short term. It happens, and there’s not much a forecaster can do about it, other than re-evaluate and try again each update! Yes we already had some uncertainty about the upcoming weekend with conflicting guidance which then suddenly reversed roles and now look a bit more in agreement. But just yesterday, last evening \/ night specifically, many of us, myself included, were expecting a broken line of showers and storms, heaviest to the northwest, struggling to touch any areas south of Boston. What we got was a much more widespread rainfall event for a good portion of the region. Yes, some areas still were missed, but just here at home, for example, while our thunderstorms were not the type you’re going to remember, we ended up with several hours of beneficial rainfall, which might have made the forecast look bad, but was beneficial for our deficit and cleaning out the air and washing off surfaces of the abundant pollen that had been about. And now we move on, looking ahead through the Memorial Day Weekend, which today looks a little less “nice” than I had been leaning. The forecast idea is basically the same today and tomorrow, with high pressure moving in (though staying north) today with drying, still warm but no longer hot air, and generally nice weather. Much cooler air arrives for Friday and may be around for most of if not the entire Memorial Day Weekend while a string of low pressure areas are close enough to plague the region with occasional wet weather. Even at this point the details are still somewhat fuzzy, but the forecast below will reflect a little “less dry” outlook than what it had been doing previously… And who knows, this may look different yet again tomorrow. I’m not as confident as I’d like to be right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 7-10 (JUNE 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first few days of June are expected to feature a return to seasonable warmth and slightly higher humidity as a couple disturbances move through the region, but with limited chances for showers and a few thunderstorms. This may be followed by a shot of cooler air from Canada at the end of the period but very low confidence here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low confidence but indications of a weak boundary in the region, cool Canadian air to the north, warmer and more humid air to the south. Not sure which will dominate just yet, but usually this set up leads to occasionally showery weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
