DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few adjustments to be made to the shorter range outlook as we head from mid week into the long weekend, but nothing major to change except today’s high temps, which will be considerably warmer than I had originally due to the lack of easterly wind, which I thought might be established sooner. A warm front is going to take a couple of days to approach from the south then pass through our region, not fully making it until later in the day on Thursday. Before that, a disturbance from the west will return clouds to our region today at the same time the front to the south is sending its own batch our way. The initial disturbance brings the region some rain showers this evening, that then move on. The warm front brings us drizzle and periodic light rain as an ocean wind becomes established ahead of it. Once that front passes by later Thursday we see a regionwide shift to a southerly wind, which then picks up in the warm sector. The low pressure area parenting that front also has an attendant cold front which will approach the region on Friday with heavier showers. Timing on these looks like the first 2\/3 of the day before we get a dry slot and some partial clearing, mild air, but lots of wind. One more batch of showers may swing through with the actual front Friday night, and a secondary trough still has to pass by Saturday as upper level low pressure crosses the region. This will keep plenty of clouds around along with a passing rain shower chance, and a gusty wind, but cooler weather. This lifts out by Sunday though and a weak, flat ridge of high pressure passing to our south will provide an interlude of fair, milder, but breezy weather. Quickly following this is another disturbance that brings back more clouds and a few rain showers, maybe even an isolated thunderstorm, on Sunday night, as that particular disturbance looks pretty potent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Clouds return. Late-day or evening rain showers arrive west to east. Highs 55-62 but dropping back to the upper 40s along the coast midday on. Wind variable to E up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday April 15 is a big day around these parts, being Patriots Day, Marathon Monday (and not Tax Day yet because it’s a holiday here!), and don’t forgot the traditional home Red Sox game with the late morning first pitch. At this time the weather looks great. Sunday night’s disturbance will exit early in the morning taking the rain shower chance with it. Looking for a sun\/cloud mix and a westerly breeze, mild air with highs 60+ most areas. Runners of the marathon may find that forecast a little too warm for liking. Earlier I thought high pressure may have moved in enough to allow a sea breeze to develop, as we see many times during that race, but not to be. Beyond: Another round of unsettled weather due for the middle of next week that should clear out by late week, but timing \/ details uncertain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spring is often the most uncertain season for medium range forecasting. Right now the best guidance and pattern prediction tools indicate to me that we will be in a cooler and somewhat unsettled pattern heading into late April. Will keep an eye on this trend and weed out specific weather systems and their impacts as we get closer to this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
