DAYS 1-5 (MAY 28 – JUNE 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve reached the mid point of the 3-day Memorial Day Weekend, and after a splendid Saturday with 100% sun and comfortable air and not too much wind, we turn the temp up a bit today with the help of a southwesterly air flow as high pressure sinks to the south of the region. As you know by now, this wind is a direct ocean breeze for the South Coast, which will be cooler. A little bit of Canadian wildfire smoke is sneaking back into the sky again, but today it will only give a slightly hazy look to the sun which otherwise will shine unimpeded once again. Tomorrow will look the same with 100% sunshine through some high altitude smoke, but it won’t feel quite the same. The reason: A back-door cold front slides down via the Gulf of Maine tonight and moves swiftly but quietly through the region and replaces the southwesterly air flow with one from the northeast. A significantly cooler Memorial Day is the result, but it will be dry with no weather problems for parades and ceremonies being held in many cities and towns in the region. Our dry pattern will continue through the middle of the coming week too. High pressure will sink southward and allow a warm-up to take place with pleasantly mild air Tuesday replaced by the feel of summer by Thursday. One thing that will be absent from the warm-up though will be high humidity, as dew points will remain low throughout the period. Despite being beyond our main fire season, the continued dryness will enhance fire danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Hazy sunshine through high altitude smoke. Highs ranging widely from 65-72 Cape Cod \/ Islands to 82-89 interior locations with warmest in valleys. Wind S-SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH evening, becoming variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY (MEMORIAL DAY): Hazy sunshine through high altitude smoke and also some high clouds closer to the South Coast. Highs 63-70, coolest eastern coastal areas. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 47-54. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-72, coolest coast. Wind E up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 47-54. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 77-84, coolest coast. Wind W up to 10 MPH but possible coastal sea breezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 51-58. Wind W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 81-88, except 73-80 in some coastal areas. Wind SW 5-15 MPH may turn SSE in eastern coastal locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cold front will drop southward into and across the region during June 2. The timing of this front will determine how warm it gets and how big a threat of a shower or thunderstorm becomes. Will fine-tune these aspects. June 3-4 weekend will be governed by high pressure and will be cooler with a Canadian air mass, but coolest coast with a northeasterly air flow again. High pressure sinks to the south with dry weather and a warm-up June 5-6. These changes take place during a large scale pattern evolution in which the Rex block breaks down and gives way to a weak omega block with retrogression of upper low pressure westward into our area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A broad upper level trough is expected to be the main driver of our weather. We may see some unsettled weather with the chance of some much-needed rainfall during the early part of the period as a disturbance moves in from the west and another system possibly moves in from the south, but this threat is far enough away to carry much uncertainty. Also, it looks dry again right after that threat. No sign of major heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
