DAYS 1-5 (MAY 28-JUNE 1)…
\nNo big changes here other than trying to fine-tune this Memorial Day Weekend forecast. First we have the hot day today with a nice early blast of heat – perhaps a preview of many days to come this summer. A cold front from the northeast (back-door front) cuts this off for most of the region on Sunday before lifting back across the region in the early hours of Monday. Even with the heat, a bit of humidity, and the front around, any shower and thunderstorm activity will be isolated, with a pop-up airmass variety shower or storm possible later today and perhaps a few showers\/storms along the front as it comes through, hangs about well southwest of Boston for a while Sunday, then returns at night. The greater chance of shower and thunderstorm activity arrives in the early hours of Monday, a result of moisture associated with a tropical depression that may reach minimal tropical storm strength before reaching the coast of South Carolina this weekend. Though the low center from this will be in that area through the weekend, some of the tropical moisture will ride northward and pass over or close to southern New England. An early call on this is that I think a couple areas of showers and thunderstorms may take place, the first 2 traversing southern New England between the overnight hours of Sunday night \/ Monday morning and the middle of Monday morning. With a little luck most of this should be ready to exit or already gone by the time many of the Memorial Day festivities take place, though trying to time such activity even 48 hours in advance carries a significant degree of uncertainty. We’ll also be left in a humid air mass during the day and with an additional trough approaching later, we may see another round of scattered showers and storms. So at this point I’m still not looking for a Memorial Day washout. By Tuesday, the final day of May, and Wednesday, the first day of June, expect high pressure to regain control with a return to fair weather.
