DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More classic springtime weather in our region. Today, we find a warm air mass has arrived here as we’ll have a southwesterly air flow – in general. But that immediately comes with caveats here in the spring. As previously (many times) mentioned, this wind flow off the water south of New England keeps the South Coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands cooler than the rest of the region. Today, we also can see a notable sea breeze on the MA North Shore to the NH Seacoast (lesser chance on the MA South Shore). This will be reflected in today’s temperature forecast below. While the temperature antics are ongoing, a disturbance approaching from the west northwest can trigger showers and thunderstorms of the scattered to clustered variety that may move into and across parts of our region starting later this afternoon with a trend of fading and dissipating as they head further east and south, but keep an eye out for at least a quick shower, maybe a downpour and some thunder – highest chance of the latter being north central MA into southern NH. Wednesday is a “fun” day in that we’ll be watching the front trailing behind the departing disturbance to orient itself as a back-door cold front with the help of high pressure to the north. Short range guidance has been wavering around on the timing of this feature, but has hinted that it will make a pretty significant advance southwestward by sometime Wednesday night. With a little lingering uncertainty on exact timing, I’ll leave my forecast for Wednesday’s temperatures as previously written and make any necessary adjustments on the next update. For weather, we’ll see a sun \/ cloud mix with a shower chance and even low chance of a pop up thunderstorm. We’ll watch for a deck of low stratus clouds to accompany the wind shift to northeast associated with the back door cold front – again timing a little up in the air on this, and it may only make limited progress into southeastern NH and eastern MA by day’s end. If this front behaves as I expect, it will sit to our southwest by Thursday morning, and the latest indications are that it will be held at bay from moving back as a warm front that day by “just enough” eastern Canadian high pressure. This would result in a cool, mostly cloudy day with patchy drizzle and a few showers around. There could be a little more rainfall especially later on once that front starts to receive a boot from low pressure moving into the Great Lakes along with added moisture. While the Friday forecast is a little lower confidence, my current idea is that the front will make its way back across the region as a warm front, with Friday’s high temps dependent on how much sun can break out between that front’s passage and the approach of a trough and a cold front as low pressure passes to the north. These features will also be the triggers of additional showers and thunderstorms which we’ll have to keep an eye out for that day – though they may hold off until later day or nighttime. Looking ahead to the start of the weekend – I expect that system to pull through the region and introduce a shot of cooler air for Saturday, along with a gusty breeze. A slower exit could result in Saturday starting grey and damp, while a quick exit would dry it out sooner and leave the day with a sun \/ cloud mix. Appropriate tweaks to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sun \/ cloud mix. A late-day shower or thunderstorm chance north central to northeastern MA and southern NH. Highs 56-63 South Coast, 64-71 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 72-79 elsewhere. Temps can fall sharply to 50s NH Seacoast and MA North Shore midday \/ afternoon. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, potentially shifting to E NH Seacoast and MA North Shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. A few showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorm favoring eastern MA early. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. A chance of a pop up shower and slight chance of an inland thunderstorm. Highs 57-64 South Coast, 65-72 MA South Shore and Cape Ann to NH Seacoast, 73-80 elsewhere, but likely turning sharply cooler at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day. Wind SW 5-15 MPH likely shifting to NE and E at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a shower. Occasional drizzle. Patchy fog. Lows 45-52. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of showers and drizzle. Areas of fog. Highs 52-59, may be slightly cooler immediate eastern coastal areas and slightly warmer far inland. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Areas of drizzle \/ fog. Temperatures steady or may rise slightly. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 53-60 South Coast, 61-68 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 69-76 elsewhere. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows 45-52. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible, shifting to N overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Sun \/ cloud mix. Highs 58-65. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for a quick push of warm air followed by a shower and thunderstorm chance as low pressure passes north of the region on April 19. This will be followed by a Canadian air mass with cooler, dry weather early to middle part of next week, starting breezy between departing low pressure and advancing high pressure then trending more tranquil as the high builds over the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
