DAYS 1-5 (MAY 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A very nice mid May weekend is here and while much of the forecast area missed out on beneficial rain from our last visit by low pressure, you now get the chance to enjoy very nice weather, courtesy of a high pressure area moving off the Mid Atlantic Coast. This will bring dry and warmer weather to us this weekend. If you were up early this morning, it was most definitely on the cool side and some areas started the day with fog patches from yesterday’s moisture condensing in a temp \/ dewpoint matched layer of air near the ground, but that quickly dissipates as the sun rises and the temp quickly climbs up and away from the dew point. The only interruption, if you will, comes in the form of a band of clouds and possibly a couple passing showers tonight as a quick-moving trough swings through the region from northwest to southeast, but this is gone other than a few clouds lingering in eastern and southern areas at dawn on Sunday, and we’re back to fair weather for the day. Monday also holds fair weather for us, but in classic New England fashion, a bubble of high pressure passing to our north will send a back-door front through the region with a temporary Atlantic breeze cooling it down for that day. This Canadian high will then join its southern cousin to our south by Tuesday and Wednesday when we see a preview of summer warmth. We will have to watch for shower and thunderstorm chances both days though. Tuesday, it’s from a trough approaching from the northwest that triggers them well north and west of our area but sends them in our direction. Right now I do believe most of them (if not all of them) don’t survive the trip, but since these can sometimes accelerate and create their own life support, so to speak, I can’t rule a couple out of making it into at least the northwestern reaches of the WHW forecast area later Tuesday. The better chance of showers and storms comes Wednesday as a cold front crosses the region. Currently, timing on this looks late day or evening, but at day 5 there is some uncertainty with that detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fair weather with temperatures returning to more seasonable levels May 21-22. May 23-25 is Memorial Day Weekend and I am watching for the potential for a wave of low pressure to bring a period of wet weather, not for the entire weekend, but somewhere around the middle to latter portion of it. This is far from a certainty, just something to keep in mind for now if you have outdoor plans for any of those days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A couple shower chances and alternating mild and cooler days in a variable, more progressive pattern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
