A clearing trend begins tonight but as we move through Friday and Saturday, the first two days of May, upper level low pressure over our region creates an unstable atmosphere, so any sun cooks up clouds and a few of these can produce showers, although the vast majority of the time will be rain-free in any given locations. Later Saturday night and early Sunday a surface low will move quickly southeast of our region, but can be close enough to bring its rain shield into at least southeastern MA and RI for several hours. Still have to nail that detail down but keep in mind that a little extra wet weather may occur for part of the weekend, favoring southeastern areas. That scoots away and by Monday, high pressure shifts south of the region promoting dry weather and a slight warm-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Cloudy. Rain, tapering off to a few showers and areas of drizzle by early afternoon. Highs 47-54, coolest coast. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Breaking clouds. Patchy fog. Lows 40-47. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Clouds and intervals of sun. A pop up shower possible. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A shower possible evening. Lows 43-50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Some sun \/ lots of clouds. A pop up shower possible. Highs 53-60. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Clouds increase. Chance of rain overnight RI and southeastern MA. Lows 42-49. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Cloudy start with a rain chance southeastern areas, then a clearing trend. Highs 56-63. Wind NE backing to NW 5-15 MPH, may be briefly stronger over Cape Cod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 40-47. Wind NW to W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 60-67 but likely cooler South Coast \/ Cape Cod. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (MAY 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsettled weather potentials May 5 and May 7 look rather minor in an overall dry and seasonable pattern much of next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (MAY 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cooler overall, some unsettled weather favors early to mid period.
