DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One month after the vernal equinox, as we enter “mid spring”, we find ourselves in a typical springtime pattern with a variety of weather coming. Today, a narrow high pressure ridge slides across the region as an upper trough departs, providing fair weather, less wind, milder air after a chilly start, and eventually less cloudiness than we saw during the last few days. The high center shifts north a bit to near the Gulf of Maine on Friday which allows it to stay mild inland but cools the coast more prominently, setting up a larger temperature contrast from coast to inland then we will see today, but it will continue fair with plenty of sun. A warm front will approach the region Friday night into Saturday with an increase in first high and mid level clouds, though some sun is still possible Saturday for a time before the clouds thicken. Eventually this leads to an episode of warm frontal rainfall Saturday evening or night, and then a ribbon of showers\/rain in the region on Sunday as a cold front approaches but slows. This is going to be in response to a slowing of movement of features in the atmosphere and the beginning of the evolution of a closed low pressure area, which will hold cloudy, wet, but cooler weather in the region Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
