DAYS 1-5 (MAY 20-24)…
\nTransition from old pattern to new pattern is now underway. We’ll have a top 10 day today with high pressure in control and plenty of sunshine, but there will be some fair-weather clouds popping up as well, and you’ll also notice a bit of a hazy look to the sky, which is another plume of smoke from wildfires in Canada being carried in the upper level winds across the northeastern US. Two low pressure areas will impact the weather between Saturday and Tuesday. The first one will be a progressive system that will send high cloudiness into the region Saturday which will thicken up Saturday evening and be followed by some rain, especially in CT, RI, and southeastern MA, overnight and into early Sunday. During Sunday afternoon, any rain from this first system will be exiting offshore but some instability may trigger a few showers over interior MA and southern NH. The second low pressure area will be a system that cuts off from the main steering flow Monday and drifts northward across New England Tuesday, bringing areas of rain, though this will not be a big storm, nor will it hang around as long as cut offs can do sometimes…
\nTODAY: Lots of sun, but some fair-weather clouds midday into afternoon, and some smoke in the upper atmosphere adding a hazy look to the sky. Highs upper 60s coast, 70s interior. Wind light NW to variable but light coastal sea breezes.
\nTONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows in the 50s. Wind light variable.
\nSATURDAY: Sun often filtered through high cloudiness, which will start to thicken very late in the day. Highs 60s coast, lower 70s interior. Wind light SE.
\nSATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain likely southeastern CT, RI, and southeastern MA. Chance of rain elsewhere. Lows in the 50s. Wind light SE to E.
\nSUNDAY: Mainly cloudy. Chance of rain in the morning mainly RI and eastern MA. Isolated to scattered showers possible north central MA into southern NH in the afternoon. Highs in the 60s. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
\nMONDAY: Variably cloudy. Rain risk increases later in the day. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
\nTUESDAY: Mainly cloudy. Periods of rain, decreasing later in the day. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (MAY 25-29)…
\nUpper low departs by early May 25 and is quickly replaced by weak high pressure, fair weather, and much warmer air. Warm but with a risk of showers and thunderstorms at times May 26-27 with a front in the area (a little earlier timing than previously forecast). The Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend (May 28-29) currently look mainly dry and quite warm as high pressure builds over the region, though coastal areas may end up cooler depending on wind direction. Plenty of fine tuning to come on this forecast.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 30-JUNE 3)…
\nMemorial Day May 30 still looks warm and mainly dry. Showers and thunderstorms are possible on May 31, depending on the timing of a front. Early indications are for fair and cooler weather the first few days of June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
