DAYS 1-5 (MAY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We remain in the high pressure north \/ low pressure south block at this time. In typical fashion of both springtime and this pattern, your best weather on Saturday was away from the coast, as the South Coast had periods of rain, and both coasts had persistent wind that was rather gusty, especially east-facing shores. Although it was breezy inland as well, the filtered sunshine helped it be a more pleasant day in a relative sense. Today, as that battle between high pressure and low pressure continues, the high to the north continues to gain and the South Coast rain sits mainly offshore, but we still have to deal with a cloud shield allowing some limited sun, and a gusty breeze. Travels to Mother’s Day brunches and visits will likely require a jacket. Happy Mother’s Day! High pressure pushes even further south Monday which should be a nicer day with more sun and a bit less wind, although we will still have a cool maritime breeze blowing. This general set-up will hold into the middle of next week, with the easterly flow gradually relaxing as the high center from the north gets closer. A stretching of the low pressure to the south may toss some additional clouds back into our sky toward midweek, but it should remain dry. When we get to Thursday, high pressure should be right over us with a sun-warmed air mass allowing a warm-up here, but a weak wind field allowing for sea breezes, keeping the coast cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Cloud\/sun mix. Highs 50-57, coolest coast. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 42-49. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-62, coolest coast. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 42-49. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 56-63, coolest coast. Wind E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 46-53. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 57-64, coolest coast. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 46-53. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 60-67 coastal plain, 68-75 interior. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (MAY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the large scale, we continue to see some blocking during the middle of May. For us here, we should see surface high pressure sink to the south with a more significant warm-up for a couple days, but we need to watch for coastal sea breezes and even a back-door front threat as early as May 14. The air flow may turn more southerly and introduce more cloudiness and even a shower threat at some point mid to late period, but this is a lower confidence forecast at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weaker blocking transitioning to zonal (west to east) flow continues to be the idea with variable temperatures averaging near normal and a mostly dry pattern other than minor systems bringing brief shower threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
