DAYS 1-5 (MAY 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The battle between moisture and dry air continues in our region for a few days. An area of low pressure passing south of New England this morning is starting the South Coast with a period of steady rain, with a little light rain further northwest from eastern CT to above the western reaches of the WHW forecast area in MA (CT Valley). All of this will be suppressed south while it slides east as dry air wins the battle by late morning, and the heavier overcast that sits over the region may thin out at times today. So while not as nice as yesterday turned out, we’re not facing a regionwide washout either. Another low pressure area passes by tonight and early Saturday, and this one brings some rain to the region from the South Coast to the MA South Shore, but much of that occurring prior to and right around sunrise, before that one makes an exit and dry air prevails for the most part. While there will be some breaks in the clouds to be seen Saturday, one difference from today is a slightly more unstable atmosphere can help trigger a few pop up showers, mainly in southern NH and northeastern MA, mainly during the midday hours. These should be spotty and not last long in any one area, and most of the region stays rain-free. Upper level low pressure moves into the region on Sunday and a weak surface low passes by to the south (again), and this day will turn out mainly cloudy with scattered showers around the region, but again not a widespread soaker. Early next week, this upper low has departed and we find ourselves in a warmer southwesterly flow with high pressure to our south and a frontal boundary slowly approaching in a ripply fashion from the northwest. While some episodic clouds from the frontal boundary will find their way into our region, we will otherwise see fair and mild weather, with of course a cooling influence where a southwest wind comes off ocean, especially along the South Coast. There’s some uncertainty as to whether or not the frontal boundary will be close enough by later Tuesday to bring a shower chance, so with low confidence it appears in this update today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cooling trend in general. Hard to time specific unsettled weather threats but a couple of them exist, probably very early period and again mid to late period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General best idea of pattern points to fair, milder weather to start this period then a return to somewhat unsettled weather later in the period with a cooling trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
