DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An upper level ridge nudges into our region today, and the arrival of warmer air aloft is being heralded by a fair amount of cloudiness early today, even a small batch of showers which moved through Metro Boston around sunrise and will exit the region via the MA South Shore & outer Cape Cod by mid morning, with sun increasing from west to east by midday. But while we warm up aloft, this will only translate to a warmer day today over interior locations, and not the coast. A bubble of high pressure in the Gulf of Maine will feed us an onshore wind, keeping coastal areas cooler. Still though, not a bad spring day in the broad picture. Things go downhill in the hours to follow as a trough of low pressure approaches from the west and moves into the region this weekend, first bringing lots of clouds back by Saturday, then periods of wet weather Sunday as a cold front extending from surface low pressure to our northwest will move in and slow down. Upper level low pressure will then move slowly southeastward from the Great Lakes into New England early next week, triggering an additional low pressure area on the frontal boundary still hanging around. This will keep us unsettled with cloudy conditions and lingering wet weather as well, along with cool conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Lots of clouds through mid morning including brief showers MA South Shore to Outer Cape Cod, then becoming mostly sunny midday on. Highs ranging from 53-60 coast to 60-67 just inland to 67-74 further inland. Wind variable becoming E 5-15 MPH, strongest coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drying trend middle of next week. Uncertainty remains for later in the week. Have to watch another potential low pressure area that may get close to the region from the south to thwart the drying trend, but additional drier weather should be around for the final weekend of the month (April 29-30). Temperatures below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall pattern is expected to be cool and somewhat unsettled for the early days of May with a general trough of low pressure dominating the Northeast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
