DAYS 1-5 (MAY 31-JUNE 4)
\nThis is the final day of what has been a cool and wet May overall, despite a 3-day heatwave for many locations during mid month. This will be the first May since 2008 where the temperature comes in below normal in Boston, and the coolest May there since 2005. Our final day of the month will feature more cloudiness but eventually some areas of sunshine. A weakening cold front in the region may trigger a few showers through early afternoon and then another approaching cold front will send showers\/thunderstorms toward the region from the west this evening but they will have trouble surviving all the way through the region as we lose daytime heating and have somewhat more stable air in place compared to the air to the west of the region. Though it will be more unstable than it was yesterday so some of the activity may survive to some extent. Will watch this as the day goes on. A drier westerly flow will take over for Thursday but another weak disturbance may trigger a shower or 2 west of Boston in the afternoon. The next in a parade of fronts will approach later Friday with yet another risk of showers\/thunderstorms. Current indications are that this will move along enough so that improvement will be seen Saturday. High pressure then moves across the region keeping most of the weekend dry though by late Sunday we’ll be watching the approach of a low pressure area from the southwest. At the moment I think this will hold off until at least Sunday night.
\nTODAY: Mostly cloudy through midday with isolated to scattered showers. Partly sunny afternoon with isolated showers. Mostly cloudy late.
\nHighs 63-68 coast, 68-73 interior. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
\nTONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms especially west and north of Boston in the evening. Lows 58-63. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts early, shifting to W.
\nTHURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Isolated showers mainly west of Boston favoring central MA and southwestern NH in the afternoon. Highs 65-70 Cape Cod, 71-76 elsewhere. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
\nTHURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 54-62. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
\nFRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers\/thunderstorms mainly late day and evening. Highs 64-69 South Coast, 70-76 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
\nSATURDAY: Decreasing clouds. Chance of showers early, favoring far eastern and southern areas. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs in the 70s except 60s South Coast.
\nSUNDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of rain at night. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s, coolest coastal areas.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 5-9)
\nA string of low pressure areas will pass south of the region with at least cool\/cloudy if not wet weather June 5-6 with little or very slow improvement but continued cool weather June 7-9 as upper level low pressure hangs around.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 10-14)
\nThough not as cool as the previous 5-day period, temperatures likely remain below normal as the pattern favors a trough centered just to the east of the region and a cooler supply of air from eastern Canada. It should be drier during this period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
