DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 7-11)…
\nMilder today but unsettled ahead of a cold front though the heaviest and most widespread rain will be contained in a band that comes through later in the day and early this evening from southwest to northeast, and may even contain some thunder. Gusty winds will also be dominant. This area moves away to the northeast tonight but some unstable air still means a risk of rain showers at times on Friday. A
\nsecondary front brings much cooler to colder air for the weekend. The wild card continues to be what happens with a developing ocean storm and whether or not its close enough to bring a period of snow Saturday night. Today, I’m going to split the difference and say part of the region, mainly southern MA and RI, stands some chance of getting into a ribbon of precipitation (snow that may start as a mix). What will not miss is wind and cold for Sunday. Looking ahead to Monday, the Red Sox home opener, it looks like the chill will begin to leave us, but this is often done with lots of cloudiness at least, and this time we can’t rule out some light mix\/rain though this far out, odds favor that being further north and west and less so near Boston – but at 5 days away this is just an optimistic outlook.
\nTODAY: Cloudy. Scattered rain showers then an area of moderate to heavy rain arriving west to east late in the day. Highs in the 50s. Wind S 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
\nTONIGHT: Cloudy evening with rain and a slight risk of thunderstorms, tapering off west to east. Mostly cloudy with isolated rain showers overnight. Lows in the 40s. Wind SW 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
\nFRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs in the 50s. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty.
\nSATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of mix\/snow mainly southern areas at night. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
\nSUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Windy. Lows in the 20s. Highs around 40.
\nMONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light mix\/rain mainly north and west. Lows around 30. Highs in the 40s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 12-16)…
\nCold front approaches April 12 with milder weather but a risk of rain showers. High pressure builds over eastern Canada and should be enough to keep unsettled weather to the south but also keep it on the cooler side, especially near the coast, April 13-15. Unsettled weather may return by the end of the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 17-21)…
\nUnsettled weather early in the period, then a drying trend again. Though it still looks like a blocking pattern, leaning at this time toward being more on the dry side of it. Temperatures closer to normal but typically cooler along the coast than inland during daytimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
