DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re now at the middle day of what is for many a 3-day weekend, finishing up with Patriots Day aka Marathon Monday tomorrow. Before we get there, we have an unsettled Sunday to get through as a trough sends low pressure north of our region and drags a cold front from west to east through the area. This system will produce showery weather today, with most numerous showers moving southwest to northeast while the entire system slides to the east. Areas of fog and drizzle precede the showers in many locations. A temperature drop arrives at their conclusion. In fact it may chill off quickly enough so that some of the showers end mixed with sleet or wet snow in higher elevations of central MA and southwestern NH before the end of the day. Clearing behind the front progresses eastward far enough for some brightening of the sky, especially the further west you are, by later in the day. Will the sun sneak below a clearing line above the western horizon for a nice sunset? We will see about that, but if it happens, again further west has a better chance. Some clearing does take place tonight as colder air moves in, and this sets up a chilly and breezy Patriots Day, at which time upper level low pressure will be crossing the region. While the day is not set to be a wash-out by any stretch, a disturbance will bring lots of clouds and some scattered showers to the region especially during the afternoon. The air will be chilly enough so that the showers can mix with sleet and\/or wet snow, especially in higher elevations inland. Either way, these are not a big deal. The gusty wind, limited sun, and chilly air will have some impact on runners in the marathon, probably even more on spectators standing on the sidelines of the route, and also at Fenway Park for the Red Sox game that kicks off in the late morning. But despite this, these events will go off without major weather-related issues – just one of the many varieties we can see here on this or any day in our part of the world. High pressure will build in with fair weather on Tuesday before the next low pressure disturbance brings clouds and a shower chance to the region for part of Wednesday. After this, at least some partial clearing is expected behind that system with dry weather on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
