7:46PM<\/p>\n
1st, a breakdown of how weather systems impact southeastern New England (eastern MA, southern NH, and RI), and 2nd, a detailed forecast, period by period (nights & days) for the next several days.<\/p>\n
Discussion…<\/p>\n
Tonight & early Saturday… Moisture moving in on a southerly wind will bring plenty of clouds and maybe a few areas of drizzle.<\/p>\n
Saturday midday & afternoon… A slice of early summer-feeling weather with lots of sun and warm air.<\/p>\n
Saturday night… Clouds return from the west and a weakening area of showers moves through from a cold front that barely makes it across the region before stopping just offshore.<\/p>\n
Sunday… The front sitting just offshore will hold clouds in with some occasional\u00a0 light rain or drizzle possible, but no significant rain is expected during the day.<\/p>\n
Sunday night & Monday… Developing and deepening low pressure to the south, moving up along the front, takes a left turn into the NY\/NJ area, sending a slug of heavy rain toward the area. My concern is that the axis of heaviest precipitation may remain west of much of the forecast area, at least eastern sections. A split may even occur where heavier rain goes both east and west of the Boston area. Therefore, I am going to remain conservative on my rainfall forecast at this point. A good round number guess for rain amounts will be 1\/2 to 1 inch for eastern areas and 1 to 2 inches with locally heavier toward the west, with the bigger amounts of 2+ inches being further to the west (Worcester Hills westward). This is still uncertain so please check back for updates. A dry slot working into the storm as it spins over NY State later Monday should shut off any significant rain in the eastern portion of southern New England.<\/p>\n
Tuesday & Wednesday… Low pressure lingering over the Northeast will produce scattered showers as the air is unstable.<\/p>\n
Thursday & Friday… Uncertain, low pressure trough may keep it somewhat unsettled.<\/p>\n
