DAYS 1-5 (MAY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure moves through the region today, its center passing near or just south of the South Coast along a frontal boundary. This brings periods of rain and some embedded heavier showers, maybe even the risk of some thunder. But when we measure the rainfall, most of the region will have had modest amounts when it’s done. This isn’t all that helpful since we do need rain to keep up the water supply for the coming warm season, as well as put the brakes on fire season, which still goes on for a little longer. Additionally, despite blocking in the pattern, we end up mainly dry in the days ahead as it still looks after high pressure delivers nice weather Thursday, low pressure passes by but too far to the south for any appreciable rainfall late this week (Friday-Saturday). Another high pressure push from Canada should ensure dry weather for Mothers Day on Sunday, but it will remain cool due to an east to northeast air flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure will be in control of the weather as we sit in a blocking pattern with little overall movement of systems except a sinking to the south of the high pressure area. This means a mainly dry stretch of weather, starting on the cool side followed by a warming trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only is the forecast less certain because of how far into the future we look here, but also because it looks like we’ll be in another springtime battle between warm high pressure to the south and cool high pressure in eastern Canada. While some guidance paints a picture of very warm to even early hot weather, we can be vulnerable to much cooler shots of air from eastern Canada via the Gulf of Maine, including the classic back-door cold fronts. We should always be on the lookout for those at this time of year as guidance often doesn’t see them coming that many days in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
