DAYS 1-5 (MAY 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer preview, day 2, today, with high pressure off to the south and a warm southwesterly air flow in place (South Coast \/ Cape Cod cooler as usual). Today we see more sun than yesterday, and late-day showers and thunderstorms that develop to the north and west will do so further upstream and not make their way into southern NH and northern MA as they did last evening – even more significant than I had expected them to. Thursday, a cold front moves into the region, but slowly enough that we get another 80-degree plus day for much of the region. But that warmth does add fuel for the storms that while may not be widespread, can be heavy in some areas, along with the slight potential for isolated severe storms – wind damage primary threat \/ hail secondary threat. Any activity moves out in the evening, but the front responsible for them will be a little sluggish, and a follow up low pressure wave can cause another swath of showers especially for the South Coast region sometime during the first 12 hours of Friday. Some guidance has this occurring further south and Friday completely dry. This is a possibility as well. Final fine-tune on next blog. Either way, drier air arrives Friday and for the start of the Memorial Day Weekend on Saturday, with temperatures closer to seasonable, though still a little above normal. When we get to Sunday, a weak disturbance from the west may trigger a few showers, but otherwise that day looks mostly fair. Plenty of time to focus in on that potential as we get closer to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Early clouds exit Cape Cod. Fog \/ stratus patches southwestern NH, north central MA, and eastern CT vanish by mid morning. Plenty of sun. Evening cloud patches arrive from the west. Highs ranging from 58-65 Cape Cod \/ Islands \/ immediate South Coast to 85-92 I-95 belt westward, with a sharp gradient between. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, primarily in the afternoon, with some strong to locally severe storms possible. Highs 80-87 except cooler South Coast \/ Cape Cod. Wind SW 5-15 MPH but locally variable, stronger, and potentially damaging winds in any storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Memorial Day (May 27) watch for low pressure to approach with a chance of showers before the end of the day. Additional showers and potential thunderstorms May 28 as a trough \/ cold front move across the region. Generally fair weather with high pressure in control May 29-31 based on current medium range expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weak upper low trends to hang around Great Lakes \/ Northeast with a couple disturbances bringing shower chances and variable temperatures with no extremes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
