DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is the only day for the next several that there will be unsettled weather to talk about, and along with that a question to answer: Will the warm front make it through before the end of the day? The answer is yes, mostly. The frontal boundary we’re waiting on may never quite make it all the way through the coastal areas from Boston northward, even including a portion of southeastern NH away from the coast and adjacent northeastern MA. This is typical for an advancing warm air mass into our region, especially at this time of year – early to mid spring, when without a strong push of surface wind from the southwest, the cold\/cool air is hard to dislodge. So while temperatures start out in the 40s today, except 50+ in a few locations to the south where the frontal boundary has already passed, we may end up with quite the temperature contrast by the end of the day with 70+ high temps over interior sections, especially with any sun-breaks, and staying stuck in the upper 40s to lower 50s from the city of Boston northward. Regardless of the position of that frontal boundary by day’s end, a fairly strong cold front will push across the region from northwest to southeast this evening. So a summary of our resultant weather from these fronts, parented by low pressure passing to our north, is a generally overcast morning with areas of fog and drizzle, breaks in the clouds and even partial sun where the warm air is successful in making an appearance, while clouds remain more solid and stubborn in the limited areas that the warm front does not pass by completely, a few rain showers around during the afternoon, and then a swath of rain showers and possible embedded thunder moving across the region from the end of the day into the evening hours. Later tonight, the front sweeps us clean and the sky clears as the air dries out and cools markedly. This sets up a stretch of dry weather from Friday into early next week. Friday-Saturday will be cooler than normal with diurnal fair weather clouds around both days, mixing with the sun, along with a gusty breeze as high pressure heading through the Great Lakes interacts with departing low pressure in eastern Canada with our typical squeeze-play pressure gradient here. With the low’s influence out of the picture by Sunday and Monday, and high pressure sinking to our south, we’ll undergo a warming trend, but it will be slow at first, so if you have Easter plans for Sunday, be aware that the morning will start out quite chilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast morning with areas of fog and drizzle, which may persist from Boston to the MA North Shore and NH Seacoast into the afternoon while clouds thin and break elsewhere with some partial sun possible. Isolated to scattered rain showers possible from mid afternoon on. Highs 48-55 southeastern NH and northeastern MA down to Boston proper as well as Cape Cod \/ Islands, 55-62 remainder of South Coast and just away from eastern coastal areas including the eastern Merrimack Valley, 63-70 elsewhere except 70+ possible in any inland areas that see any sunshine. Wind E-SE up to 10 MPH shifting to SW 10-20 MPH from south to north, but wind shift may never make it into aforementioned cooler locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening with rain showers and possible thunder. Clearing overnight. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 15-25 MPH and gusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Sunny start, then a sun\/cloud mix. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH and gusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 54-61. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 38-45. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 57-64. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure will dominate our weather throughout this entire period with a dry spell. Temperatures warm to above normal through mid period, but we may be vulnerable to a back-door cold front and cool-down late period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure hangs on with more dry weather to start this period – temperatures initially cooler than another warm-up to follow. Later in the period a trough and frontal boundary approaching from the west would turn the weather more unsettled with an increased chance of rain showers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
