DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cool northwesterly air flow continues today between low pressure in Atlantic Canada and high pressure to our southwest. We will have considerably more sunshine than yesterday and a less gusty wind, making it feel more pleasant despite the “below normal” temperature readings. Friday, look for more cloud cover and perhaps a quick hit of light rain, mainly northern portions of our region, as a warm front approaches. Another mid level moisture surge can bring an additional batch of rain showers Friday evening \/ night as the warm front goes by, and then we enter the warm sector of low pressure passing to our north on Saturday. This will easily be the warmest day of the spring so far across the region, but there will be a cooling influence along the South Coast where a southwesterly air flow comes off the ocean water to the south of New England. A cold front trailing from the passing low pressure system will move through in the evening with perhaps a passing rain shower, but there does not appear to be a lot of support for much in the way of rainfall. Sunday (Easter for those celebrating) will be a fair, breezy and slightly cooler day with a northwesterly air flow behind the cold front. High pressure builds toward and eventually across the region during Monday (Patriots Day). Dry weather will prevail for the Red Sox traditional home game with late morning first pitch, and for the Boston Marathon. We will see increasing clouds ahead of the next low pressure system, but it looks like any threat of rainfall will hold off until Monday night. That day will be a little cooler than Sunday with a slightly cooler air mass in place, enhanced in coastal areas by the development of a sea breeze during the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passing low pressure systems bring some rainfall chances about every other day during this unsettled stretch with variable but overall near normal temperatures. Future fine-tuning to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 27 – MAY 1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typical springtime pattern of a warm US Southeast and a chilly eastern Canada with our region in a mid-ground “battle zone” of potential unsettled weather and variable temperatures, none of which can be pin-pointed this far in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
