DAYS 1-5 (MAY 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re still being dominated by an imposing letter from the Greek Alphabet. Yep, the Omega Block continues – not highly unusual for spring, in fact, fairly common for this season – more so than any other season (watch social media posts \/ headlines that try to tell you otherwise). This pattern often keeps the weather similar for several days. Sometimes, you can be in the fair weather sandwich in between two lows, underneath an upper ridge. We’re not. This time, we’re under the easternmost upper low, and it gave us a cool, wet Monday, and will do the same to our Tuesday. Yesterday, the main rain area got pushed back westward somewhat due to high pressure in Atlantic Canada. Today, that high gives ground and the rain wheels back through our region. Some embedded thunderstorms can also occur with it. Wednesday, we start to see less concentration of the moisture with slight weakening of the pattern, and with surface low pressure to the west we’ll have more of a southerly air flow. Result: Wednesday is still a mainly cloudy and occasionally showery (and chance of a thunderstorm) kind of day, but a little milder than today in general. The surface low makes its way across the area then east of our region Thursday. While I cannot rule out a shower that day, this looks like a drier day overall, but without complete clearing of the sky as clouds remain dominant. The puzzle to solve for late week is how much impact another low pressure area has on our region. Most guidance shows low pressure bringing another rain event sometime Friday into Saturday. Timing and magnitude varies from model to model, run to run of course. Nothing new there. The thing to watch when using guidance is the trend, and keeping a real-world eye on the pattern. For now, I remain of the meteorological opinion that we’re still under the gun for some additional wet weather there, favoring Friday with s-l-o-w improvement following. There’s the chance that the evolution of that system is further south and east, which would lessen the chance of a more pronounced impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blocking pattern relaxes and breaks down partially, but remains somewhat intact and coexistent with some pattern progression. May 11 (end of weekend \/ Mother’s Day) looks OK but not perfect, maybe a sun\/cloud mix with a pop up shower, but this forecast will be fine-tuned. Fair weather more likely early to middle of next week including a warm-up, as high pressure should be in more firm control here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continuing to lean toward a hybrid partial blocking \/ partial progressive pattern. Overall this is a drier pattern with variable but mostly near normal temperatures, and no sharply defined weather systems in control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
