DAYS 1-5 (MAY 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another taste of summer will be with us today on the warm side of a frontal boundary that will take until sometime Sunday to make its way across the region from north to south. This will take place as high pressure in eastern Canada gains strength as part of a battle between Canadian cool air and southeastern US warmth that we often see in spring here in New England. But the warm side is in control today, and while it is, we’ll have to watch for some afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. But the timing of these seems late enough that areas that do see them still get through the bulk of the day rain-free. The focus for this activity will be west of I-95 late afternoon into early evening, with weakening remains swinging eastward during the evening. As is often the case at this time of year, the activity is likely to diminish as it approaches the coast due to marine stabilization and the loss of daytime heating. A few more showers may traverse the region tonight. As we move through Sunday, clouds are likely to be dominant, and while we’re still “in the warm air” initially, it won’t get as warm as today. The temperature rise will be thwarted and reversed during the day from north to south as the aforementioned frontal boundary moves through. However, I do think we are going to make it through much of Sunday’s daylight hours free of much rainfall too. It is at night when some overrunning over the boundary will likely create a ribbon of rainfall that wets the region down. The push of Canadian high pressure should be strong enough to get rid of most of that rain Monday, while we keep the clouds, and continue the cooling trend. This is part of a blocking pattern evolution that will find two closed lows (eastern and western US) sandwiching a ridge of high pressure (central US). The easternmost low will be what gives us additional unsettled weather Tuesday and Wednesday of next week with occasional showers. Still working out the finer details of those days…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sun\/cloud mix, but clouds more dominant southeastern MA and South Coast along with areas of fog . Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will favor areas west of I-95 mid to late afternoon, with a few storms possibly strong to (isolated) severe. Highs ranging widely from 56-63 South Coast to 78-85 inland areas mainly west of I-95. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms likely north of I-90 early. A few additional showers possible late evening and overnight. Patchy fog. Lows 52-59. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. A spot shower possible. Highs 63-70 by midday, followed by a cool-down north to south. Wind SW to variable to N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Showers likely. Lows 46-53. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blocking early to mid period but southward shift of features to allow high pressure to build in with drier weather, then a more progressive pattern evolves later in the period when we’ll have to watch for the arrival of a cooler airmass from Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More progressive pattern but overall this area in a trough position which allows for more Canadian cool shots with brief warm-ups between. The pattern can feature brief unsettled spells amidst mostly dry weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
