DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final weekend of astronomical spring will feel more like one that would normally occur about midway through the season. The large scale weather pattern across the US is in the form of the classic omega block (trough West, ridge middle US, trough East – centered right here over New England. And the trough here in our neighborhood brings with it an anomalously chilly pool of cold air with it aloft and resultant very cool air mass from eastern Canada that will be with us all weekend. In fact, despite establishing itself in the early morning hours today, it will be further reinforced tonight and Sunday. We’ll see limited sunshine both today and Sunday. Fortunately (as far as outdoor plans go) the chance of wet weather is limited to just a few hours of scattered showers favoring southeastern NH and eastern MA later tonight to early Sunday morning. From an agricultural \/ water supply standpoint, it’s unfortunate that we won’t be able to squeeze out more rain from this pattern, because we remain in deficit and still are in need of it. Looking ahead to the early part of the coming week, we see a relaxation of the blocking pattern and the evolution of a more zonal (west to east) flow. This allows temperatures to moderate as the pattern remains fairly dry. This pattern does not allow any significant heat to build in, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers southeastern NH and eastern MA, possibly RI as well, late evening and overnight. Lows 46-53. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Scattered showers eastern MA early. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 68-75. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind W under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 55-62. Wind WSW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 77-84. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A general northwesterly air flow pattern at upper levels will be the rule again. A warm front tries to press through the region early in the period, but instead of doing so cleanly, it may struggle, keeping even warmer air from arriving, and possibly bringing the opportunity for at least some rainfall. We should break into somewhat warmer and mainly fair weather toward the June 25-27 period but this is a low confidence forecast at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 28 \u2013 JULY 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early period cool-down via Canada, mid to late period warm-up due to more high pressure dominating. Continued low confidence on this outlook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
