DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is the continuation of the weekend for many in our area, and a lot of people will be outside either running in or being a spectator of the Boston Marathon, or perhaps at Fenway Park for a daytime Red Sox game in which the first pitch is thrown prior to noon. The good news about the weather: Not a rainy day. The not-as-good news: It’s going to be breezy and quite chilly. However, many runners might count this as good news as the cool weather with a (mostly) tail wind will be beneficial for distance running. But even they are going to feel the chill coming out to the starting line this morning as we start the day with temperatures ranging from the upper 20s to middle 30s across the region. Before a lot of clouds arrive, courtesy upper level low pressure, there will be plenty of sun at first which will help take the initial chill out of the air, but as cumulus and stratocumulus clouds fill in the sky in response to a cold pool of air aloft, the lack of sun combined with a gusty breeze will make high temps in the middle 40s to lower 50s feel more like upper 30s to lower 40s. Additionally, with a disturbance passing by, the aforementioned clouds can produce a few showers of precipitation ranging from rain to sleet to graupel, even a little wet snow. These should not cause any significant issues, however, and most of the time will be just dry. Tonight, we clear out and the cold keeps hold as high pressure builds toward the region. Tuesday’s weather will be bright but still chilly, but this time with less wind, as that high sits over the region. During the middle and end of the week, the large scale weather pattern becoming blocked will feature the development and retrogression of an upper low off the coast to our east. The next weather disturbance moving our way Tuesday night and Wednesday will get close enough to deliver clouds and some light rain\/mix\/snow later Tuesday night and a few lingering rain showers Wednesday morning, and perhaps another shower round Wednesday evening, but the disturbance itself will be deflected to the southeast and eventually join the offshore party with the upper low as we get into Thursday and Friday. Slightly milder air arrives for Thursday before we cool down again for Friday with generally dry weather expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY \u2013 PATRIOTS DAY: Abundant sun to start, then lots of clouds. Isolated afternoon showers of rain and\/or sleet and\/or graupel and\/or wet snow. Highs 45-52. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusts 20-25 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Lots of clouds early including mix or snow shower potential in eastern MA in the evening, followed by clearing. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH evening, diminishing overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 45-52. Wind W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clouding up. Late evening or overnight light snow \/ mix potential especially west of I-95. Lows 33-40. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of a rain shower early. Highs 46-53. Wind variable to SE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a rain shower evening. Lows 38-45. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Sun \/ cloud mix. Highs 57-64, coolest coast. Wind W up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 53-60. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blocking pattern. Below normal temperatures. Upper level low pressure may deflect the April 25-26 weekend rain chance mostly southwest of the region but will keep an eye on it, so this period looks drier overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 30 \u2013 MAY 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continued blocking indicated and while I favor below normal temperatures to continue the upper pattern may shift enough to allow more wet weather chances to evolve as we end April and get into early May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
