DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Sunday update finds no big changes to the forecast made yesterday. Low pressure approaches and will be redeveloping over the region today into Monday along an occluded frontal boundary moving into the region. This front carries with it a fairly narrow but potent band of showers and embedded thunderstorms that will move its way slowly across the region, but is wide enough to impact most of the region for a good part of the day. Ahead of it there are scattered showers and a few downpours, which initially moved in late last night. So basically a wet and cool Sunday for us – but despite its poor timing with regard to the weekend, the rain will be a general benefit as the region is running between 1 and 2 1\/2 inches below normal for precipitation for the month of April and has been generally dry since late winter. With a closed off upper level low pressure area driving this system still having to slowly cross the region during the first few days of the week, we’ll continue to see an unsettled weather pattern with a daily shower chance – most numerous Monday, a little less so thereafter and decreasing by midweek as the low pressure area starts to move further to the east. However, by the time we get to Thursday, the orientation of surface features, with a surface high to the northeast of the area and another low pressure area starting to approach from the southwest, a renewed onshore wind may mean more clouds and potentially damp weather returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast. Band of widespread showers and a slight chance of thunder traversing slowly eastward across the region (scattered showers ahead of it far eastern areas early), tapering off western to central areas later in the day and eastern areas by the very end of the day. Highs 48-55. Wind E 5-15 MPH, gusts 20-30 MPH, strongest in coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of fog\/drizzle. Chance of a few additional showers. Lows 45-52. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Episodes of showers. Highs 49-56, coolest coast of NH and eastern MA. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 43-50. Wind N-NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 51-58. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Lows 42-49. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of a shower. Lows 38-45. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of drizzle and possibly a shower. Highs 48-55, coolest coast. Wind E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 28 \u2013 MAY 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not the highest confidence forecast with several factors in play, some yet to be determined. Eyeing another low to the south that can impact the region early in the period with additional broad onshore flow and damp\/wet weather, and another potential impact from a trough from the west mid to late period, with the opportunity to squeeze in a fair weather day, perhaps. Will sort this out as it gets closer. General temperature trend is near to below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few hints of a quieter period of weather evolving here with a relaxing of the trough and a bit more westerly flow and high pressure dominance, but this is also a low confidence forecast. At this time of year and in this particular upcoming pattern there are many players that can change the outlook, so stay tuned for adjustments as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
