DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One more day in the circulation of low pressure offshore, held up by a blocking pattern in the atmosphere, the same block that will set up great viewing conditions for tomorrow’s solar eclipse. First, we continue to be in clouds from the offshore storm much of today, but we’ll start to see a decrease later today, and especially tonight. In contrast to yesterday’s more widespread showers of rain (mixed with snow in some areas), we’ll just see a few potential light rain showers today, otherwise the day will be mainly dry. Again, regarding the solar eclipse, with the path of totality crossing far northern New England, the WHW forecast area still sees a pretty significant coverage on the sun during the event (93% at Boston, a tiny bit less to the south and a tiny bit more to the north), peaking at 3:29 p.m. EDT between a start time of 2:16 p.m. EDT and an end time of 4:39 p.m. EDT. I’ll repeat this one more time on tomorrow morning’s update for you. Post-eclipse, we’ll see some high clouds start to move in from the west over the top of a narrow ridge of high pressure that gives us our nice weather for Monday. High pressure from eastern Canada cools is down but keeps us fair Tuesday. Then we move back to unsettled weather for midweek with a cool easterly wind and an overcast with some wet weather returning ahead of a warm front on Wednesday. This front may struggle to cross the region Thursday as low pressure moves to our northwest and a large scale trough slides into the Northeast, keeping the weather wet but leaving some uncertainty on the temperature forecast for that day – could end up with a larger range across the region depending on the position \/ movement of the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of a passing rain shower. Highs 45-52. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cold front approaches April 12 with numerous rain showers, possible thunderstorms, breezy\/windy conditions and a push of milder air regionwide. Behind this, expect a stronger northwest wind, unsettled weather (rain\/mix showers) and chilly weather for April 13. High pressure brings more tranquil and milder weather April 14-15 but on April 15 (Marathon Monday \/ Patriots Day) we may end up much cooler at the coast. Unsettled weather chances increase again at the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unsettled \/ cool start to the period, then drier \/ milder trend follows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
