The cold front is offshore, but in New England style we&#8217;ll be a little milder than yesterday behind it as we replace a moist southerly air flow with a drying westerly one, which results in downslope warming. We&#8217;ll have some cloudiness to contend with but eventually the sun will win out later today. Cooler air does arrive for early in the week as high pressure to the north sends a broad scale onshore flow into the region Monday into Tuesday. High pressure slips to the east and a warmer southerly air flow arrives Wednesday, but that warm-up will be short-lived as a sharp cold front will drop out of Canada to bring our only risk of wet weather during the next 5 days on Wednesday evening in the form of  showers. This leads to a cool-down for Thursday with more dry weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Lots of clouds with a trend to more sun later. Highs 67-74. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 42-49. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 60-67, coolest eastern coastal areas. Wind N shifting to E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 45-52. Wind E under 10 MPH..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 62-69, coolest coastal areas. Wind E up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 43-50. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEDNESDAY: Increasing clouds. Late day showers possible. Highs 64-71. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy with showers likely in the evening. Clearing overnight. Lows 47-54. Wind W 5-15 MPH shifting to N.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 60-67, coolest in eastern coastal areas. Wind N-NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (MAY 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guidance has been amusing to look at during the last couple of days with two medium range models flipping the forecast of high pressure and a warm-up for Memorial Day Weekend to one of low pressure moving into the region with unsettled weather, while another model has kept it the same as previously &#8211; dry, warming up. The most recent guidance set gets basically 3 different forecasts. What I am eyeing at this point as we head from mid week into and through Memorial Day Weekend and to the penultimate day of May is a tendency for a trough to want to be in place, but one that would just mean the potential for a couple pop-up showers with colder air aloft. This is a (cautiously) optimistic forecast compared to recent guidance trends but one I will go with for now, leaving room for adjustment as the time period draws closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (MAY 31 \u2013 JUNE 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With low confidence in the 6-10 day period, you can&#8217;t really rebound to higher confidence in the 11-15, so for now I&#8217;ll continue to lean to the drier regime winning, but a tendency for Canadian cooling to be readily available to move in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS 1-5 (MAY 21-25) After some beneficial rainfall yesterday, it&#8217;s back to the dry regime again.
