DAYS 1-5 (MAY 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A summer preview takes place the next couple days with high pressure off to our south and and upper level high pressure ridge on the East Coast. This allows Boston to hit 80 for the first time this season (average first date May 4, so behind that by quite a bit), likely today, definitely tomorrow. A prevailing southwesterly wind flow will be, of course, a cooling influence for the South Coast and Cape Cod. Other than fog patches and low clouds in some areas for a while this morning, and a repeat of this tonight \/ early tomorrow morning, the weather will be generally fair regionwide both days. One other potential exception is with a disturbance moving into northern New England from the west this evening with showers and thunderstorms, a couple of these can migrate as far south as southern NH, so keep an eye out for that. Wednesday’s shower and thunderstorm activity with an approaching cold front should stay well to the west and north of our region. That cold front does move across the region on Thursday. Trends have been a little faster and weaker for the front, so while there is a chance of the development of some showers and thunderstorms that day, they may be earlier and less widespread, with the main focus \/ trigger having gone by before prime heating time. Will keep an eye on that. A later arrival and efficient heating ahead of the front would increase the potential for heavier showers and stronger thunderstorms. Still eyeing the potential for a follow up low to bring at least a chance of rain for a portion of Friday. As we get into the start of the Memorial Day Weekend on Saturday, we will be in a west southwesterly air flow with a weak upper trough in the region. This will be why I can’t make Saturday’s forecast “sunny”, but I’m also thinking it won’t be that bad. With a disturbance maybe moving in quickly from the west I’m going to add the chance of a shower, but don’t cancel any plans now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
