DAYS 1-5…
\nFor a weak boundary it sure will hang around a while. I’m talking about the front that moved in yesterday and parked itself over southeastern New England. Now this boundary will allow itself to be pushed around by a couple of weather systems, the first being broad low pressure centered well southeast of New England, which will move a little closer through early Monday before heading back out to sea. This system may acquire tropical characteristics but will not be close enough to cause any real impact other than an east to northeast air flow. It will also serve to push the boundary over southeastern areas back to the west between today and Monday, shifting the most likely area for showers westward with time. But by Monday night and early Tuesday, a low pressure trough approaching from the west will push this boundary back to the east and shift the axis of shower threat back across the region from west to east. This will also allow a shot of warm and humid air to arrive Tuesday to replace the cooler marine area now getting established because of the offshore low. And then a final cold front will finally sweep everything offshore by early Wednesday, but this may not happen without another round of showers as well as thunderstorms later Tuesday or Tuesday night, depending on the timing of the front. Though there will still be upper level low pressure over the region Wednesday, high pressure will start building in at the surface from the west and drier air will overtake the area. But with the trough upstairs we’ll probably have some cloud development as well as sunshine.
