Today will be a top 10 day. High pressure sits right on top of New England with a clear sky, light wind, and mild air being the result. The lingering chill of the ocean water still has impact, however, and that will be felt at the beaches today. So not exactly a perfect beach day unless you can deal with it being a little cool, which I suppose makes it a very good early season beach day if that’s where you find yourself today. Many people will find themselves at graduation ceremonies, the majority of them outdoors, with great weather for it. But be reminded, the sun is strong. It does not have to be a hot day to be dangerous. Do not forget sun screen if you are susceptible to getting sunburn.<\/p>\n
What is coming up for the week? Well today we make some minor adjustments, as one may have expected was necessary given the level of uncertainty expressed in previous discussions. It looks like the warm air flows in for Monday and lasts through Tuesday as the next cold front will take its time arriving. It will be approaching during Tuesday though, increasing the chance of showers and thunderstorms then, after a rain-free Monday.<\/p>\n
At midweek, upper level low pressure will traverse the region and it will be somewhat cooler and unsettled (in that there is a shower threat, especially Wednesday, less so Thursday). It does not look like we are in for a repeat of the unseasonable chill of the middle of last week.<\/p>\n
“But we can’t wait! What about next weekend???” I’m optimistic that Friday and Saturday will be ok. The upper level low that I was concerned about never really makes it here as I see it now, and gets caught up in the other upper low going offshore after midweek. With this to the east and a ridge to the west, we should end up dry but a little cooler than normal by the end of the week. Are we looking at perfection? It’s too early to say and probably not, but the early call is for a decent end to the week. When we get into a pattern where there is a ridge to the west, we always have to watch for disturbances coming over the top and bringing clouds and showers when only a few days before it did not look like it would happen (Memorial Day, for example). I’ll take one more step and add Sunday to the forecast on the next update this evening, so you’ll just have to wait for my thoughts on that. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
