DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A narrow ridge of high pressure brings nice weather to the region today! Although some high clouds will spill over the top of the ridge axis to our west and slightly filter the sun in parts of the region during the solar eclipse this afternoon, it won’t be a significant hindrance. As a reminder, maximum coverage of the sun for Boston will be 93% at 3:29 p.m. EDT, between an eclipse start time of 2:16 p.m. EDT and end time of 4:39 p.m. EDT. One other thing to add about today is the threat of some coastal splashover and minor flooding around the time of midday-early afternoon high tide (new moon). Otherwise, the rest of the outlook through midweek remains basically unchanged. Canadian high pressure sends a dry cold front through the region later tonight and turning the wind more northeast to east on Tuesday, with cooler conditions, especially along the coast. Fenway Park will have a cool breeze for the Red Sox home opener, but it will be dry! Midweek’s unsettled weather is still on track with a warm front taking its time to approach and move through Wednesday into Thursday, finally pushing through later Thursday into Friday, when a cold front will approach from the west. Wednesday will be cool and raw with light rain and drizzle around, with more widespread rainfall likely on Thursday and more of a showery set-up in the warm sector on Friday, maybe even with a thunderstorm here and there. Look for increasing winds as the warmer air arrives ahead of that cold front, especially during Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
