DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 9-13)…
\nHigh pressure builds north of the region today and tonight while elongated low pressure sneaks out just south of New England, close enough for cloudiness but too far south for any precipitation other than brief rain\/snow Cape Cod and Islands tonight. High pressure extends southward Sunday with more sun, but a gusty wind and cold air around will make it feel less like April and more like February or early March. As has been the case for quite some time, weather systems continue to move right along, and this means clouds and some light precipitation (rain\/mix\/snow) will be here as early as the late-night hours of Sunday night, into Monday morning, as a warm front approaches from the next low pressure system. With a little luck, this front will make it through the region for a bit milder air coinciding with the Red Sox home opener at Fenway Park on Monday afternoon. At this point it looks like any lingering precipitation would be in the form of rain and remain northwest of Boston. This won’t be the case for too long, however, as a cold front will slide into the region with increasing rain chances by Monday night and into Tuesday. This system should push offshore as high pressure builds in from the north during Wednesday. There is some question this far in advance at how quickly clearing will arrive, but will just leave some cloudiness in the forecast for now and adjust later, if needed.
