DAYS 1-5 (MAY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two more days until the upper low leaves us alone – for now (keep the last 2-word phrase of that sentence in mind for beyond the 5-day period). Today, it’s the coolest of the lot, surface low to the southeast, upper low still overhead, northeasterly air flow at the surface, grey sky, patchy drizzle, a few showers, and below normal temperatures – as you’ve heard me say recently: in the dank tank! But not long from now improvement will begin. Friday, both upper and surface low pressure areas will be to the east of the region, pulling away, and while the sky will still be filled with plenty of clouds, drier air working in from the north will start to break them up with the sun chance going up as we move through the day, especially by late day. We’ll be rid of the wet weather and we will be subtly milder (or less chilly). Our weekend as well as Monday look fabulous with dry air dominating the weather as the low will be far offshore by then and high pressure will build in from the west. There will still be enough cold air aloft for diurnal fair weather clouds to pop up Saturday, so I’m not expecting a totally sunny day, but the two days that follow it should feature basically unlimited sunshine. A nice warming trend will take place during this time as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our old pal, the upper level low pressure area (yes the one over us now) may retrograde – aka move westward – far enough to push a back door frontal boundary into our area before the middle of next week, thwarting the warm-up and altering the flow so that a series of disturbances approaching from the west during the period are shunted just to the south, but still close enough for some episodic unsettled weather. Will sort out the details as we get closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low confidence forecast here given the uncertainty in the period preceding it. Going drier\/milder to start, then a cooling trend to return, but an overall mostly dry pattern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
