DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this final weekend of spring, the weather will feel a bit more like April \/ May than the middle of June. You can thank a low pressure system comprised of an upper low traversing the region from west to east while a surface low does a loop just to our east \/ northeast. While there have been enough dry slots in the rainfall pattern to keep some areas rain-free to start today, eventually this activity will fill in more, and a much larger portion of the region will be covered by showery rain and embedded downpours (maybe with a bit of thunder?) as we head through the afternoon \/ evening. Activity seems to want to focus heaviest in southeastern NH and eastern MA. A widespread swath of back-lash rain\/drizzle will soak the region overnight, but when we get into Sunday this will pull away quickly as drier air works in behind the departing low, which will then be moving eastward. I’m not expecting complete clearing on Sunday but we may see some breaks in the clouds and can’t rule out a couple of intervals of sun in some areas. However, with enough atmospheric instability in place there can still be a couple of pop up showers, but these will be isolated, and far more than exception than the rule – also fairly light and quickly passing where occurring. By the time we get to Monday, the low’s gone and weak high pressure has moved in with fair weather. I’m removing the shower threat from the forecast that I had before, but a weak wind field means coastal areas will likely develop a sea breeze under partial sun, and be cooler than inland areas which can warm up a bit more efficiently. It is on Tuesday when we may see a few showers pop up with a weak disturbance moving through the region on the final full day of spring. The summer solstice occurs at 10:57 a.m. on Wednesday, and fittingly, that looks like a mostly sunny and warm day with high pressure in control, but having sunk just far enough to the south to promote a warming westerly wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Overcast. Shower frequency and coverage increases with time. Isolated thunderstorms embedded in some of the heavier shower areas. Patchy fog forming. Highs 59-66 morning, cooling slightly this afternoon. Wind E to NE increasing to 5-15 MPH, higher gusts near the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Overcast with areas of fog. Widespread showers with isolated embedded thunderstorms possible. Lows 52-59. Wind NE to N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible near the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of a passing shower. Highs 63-70. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 55-62 Wind NE under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: Partial sunshine. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Wind E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 58-65. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers. Highs 68-75, coolest coast. Wind E up to 10 MPH becoming variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind variable under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure sinks just to the south with dry weather and an interlude of warm to very warm air June 22-24. The end of the period cools and turns more unsettled as a frontal boundary enters the region with showers and possible thunderstorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 27 – JULY 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A more zonal (west to east) flow pattern takes over. A frontal boundary may be hanging about in the region early in the period before the trend is dry. Temperatures mostly near normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
