DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure moving across the region early this morning has produce showers and in some cases thunderstorms, which were quite potent on the MA South Coast up to the South Shore. While the heaviest activity has now moved offshore and is racing away into the Gulf of Maine (as of the time of this writing) we’ll still have some lingering shower activity around with patches of fog as well until the low pressure area gets north of our latitude. At that time, a drying westerly air flow will replace the damp easterly one. Improvement comes by midday, and the afternoon will be quite nice overall, including being rather mild in comparison to the last couple days. All we have to watch for is a pop up shower that is possible, especially over interior locations, later in the afternoon through the early evening hours. Our weekend will be so-so, but far from what we have just gone through. Upper level low pressure has to cross the region from west to east. Saturday, while we are still on the eastern side of this low, we’re quite vulnerable to showery weather especially as another surface low forms and scoots through the region. The timing for showers looks highest in the morning and midday hours, and we should see some improvement after. Sunday, the shower threat is still there, but lower, and focused on afternoon, with the cold pool of air associated with the upper low still over us. I’ve doubted previous medium range forecasts for a flip to just fair and warm weather by early next week, and this doubt remains in force. Yes, it looks better both Monday & Tuesday with small areas of high pressure in control, but between them a disturbance, likely the first in a series, will move through with some unsettled weather Monday night. This timing is obviously not set in stone – but looks this way at this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll be near a boundary zone between chilly Canadian air and warmer air in much of the US Mid Atlantic and Southeast. Where have we heard this before? It’s going to be difficult to pin down details, but right now I’d put the odds at fair weather highest at both ends of this forecast period and odds of unsettled weather highest in the middle, however the entire period may be vulnerable to unsettled weather and certainly some temperature variability. There will be a lot of fine-tuning to do with this forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very low confidence forecast. Expecting an overall zonal flow pattern with a couple minor disturbances bringing brief rainfall threats in a regime of mostly dry weather and seasonable though slightly variable temperatures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
