This includes some breezy and cool weather today behind a cold front that passed through our region overnight with some showers. Next up is a more tranquil Sunday with high pressure overhead, but this will promote the development of a sea breeze rather quickly &#8211; by late morning- ensuring the coastal areas do not warm as much as the interior. We&#8217;ll also see clouds moving in after a sunny start, due to the approach of a warm front from the southwest. This will bring us a couple periods of rain Sunday night, but introduce warmer air for Monday, despite a lot of clouds being around and the chance of an additional shower as a weak cold front approaches. A southwesterly wind on Monday brings ocean-cooled air to the South Coast and Cape Cod, so readings that day will not be as high as they are the further north and northwest you travel.  The aforementioned cold front never does quite make it through the region, pushed back to the north by a building ridge of high pressure to the southwest of New England. This will allow much of the region to be quite warm on Tuesday, this time without a shower threat and with more sunshine. The question after that is: Do we keep this weather for Wednesday, or does a back-door cold front spoil the party for parts of our region? I&#8217;m always on the look-out for high pressure in eastern Canada in springtime, as it always raises the threat that a forecast warm-up may not quite pan out as depicted at first. High pressure in eastern Canada is often under-forecast by guidance, and the boundaries that separate the air with them, chilled by lingering snow-cover in eastern Canada, aided by a trip across the chilly ocean water of the Gulf of Maine tend to be pushed further south and west than the models will initially indicate. I cannot rule out the potential for this happening as early as Wednesday, so when we get to &#8220;day 5&#8221;, you&#8217;ll see it reflected in the temperature and wind forecast, and refined as needed, hopefully with more confidence, as we go forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Sun \/ cloud mix to start, then more dominant sun. Highs 54-61. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-35 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 31-38. Wind NW diminishing to under 10 MPH, becoming variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Sunny start, then increasing clouds. Highs 52-59 coast, 59-66 inland. Wind variable under 10 MPH but developing onshore wind in coastal areas up to 15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. A shower possible. Highs 48-55 Nantucket \/ Martha\u2019s Vineyard, 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 most other areas except 66-73 interior valleys. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 62-69 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 70-77 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 62-69 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 70-77 elsewhere, but may turn sharply cooler at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA before end of day. Wind SW 5-15 MPH may shift to NE and E at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA before end of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping the previous idea for this period while continuing to watch high pressure in eastern Canada with cool air, while much warmer air sits nearby just to the west and south and we have a typical springtime battle. The leaning is toward the cooler air early in the period, then the warmer air again after, but with very low confidence in how it plays out day-to-day. Check updates as I monitor trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry pattern to start may shift wetter later in the period. Variable temperatures but with a cooler trend indicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 11-15) Changeable April weather is in the cards over the next few days.
