Fantastic Mother’s Day in progress, and I’d like to wish all moms a Happy Mother’s Day! A nice dry and mild westerly wind makes this day great, the only real drawback being a high tree pollen count.<\/p>\n
For the week coming up, many changes in store, from a Summer preview to a return to ocean chill to an increase in humidity then a turn to wetter weather. I believe it plays out like this:<\/p>\n
Southwesterly flow as high pressure slips offshore Monday, bringing warmth and increasing humidity. While one cold front approaches from the west, a back-door cold front will be charging down from the north northeast and will enter the region at night as high pressure builds across eastern Canada. This will bring in a much cooler northeast wind by Tuesday, which may be as much as 30 degrees cooler than Monday in some areas. When we get to midweek (Wednesday-Thursday, the wind will start to turn more to the south, transporting warmer and more humid air back into the region. But as this takes place, the atmosphere is going to begin to develop a block, so that when a trough of low pressure arrives on the East Coast at the end of the week it will likely cut off and get stuck for a while, and we in southeastern New England will probably end up on the unsettled side of it. It remains to be seen how this will play out exactly and the forecast will be fine tuned as the week goes on.<\/p>\n
