This has occurred and will continue during the next 5 days, bringing rapid changes in weather. This will include a cold front that brings a few rain showers early Sunday, a wave of low pressure passing south of the region that brings a risk of some snow\/mix for a portion of Monday, a warm front bringing a period of rain that may start as snow and\/or sleet Tuesday, a potential surge of very warm air between late Tuesday and early Wednesday, and a shot of much colder air arriving by later Wednesday. Strap in for a weather coaster ride. Forecast details&#8230;<br \/>\nTODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-53 Cape Cod, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty, shifting to SW and diminishing slightly.<br \/>\nTONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Mostly cloudy overnight with a chance of a few rain showers. Lows 37-44. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<br \/>\nSUNDAY: Mostly cloudy through mid morning with a chance of rain showers, then sun and passing clouds. Highs 49-56. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<br \/>\nSUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear evening. Increasing clouds overnight. Lows 25-32. Wind NW 10-20 MPH shifting to N and diminishing.<br \/>\nMONDAY: Cloudy through late afternoon with a period of snow\/mix possible, favoring southern MA southward. Potential snow accumulation of a coating to 2 inches north, 1 to 4 inches south, mainly on unpaved surfaces. Some evening clearing possible. Highs 35-43. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.<br \/>\nTUESDAY: Cloudy with a period of rain possibly starting as snow and\/or sleet. Partial clearing possible late. Lows in the 30s. Highs may range from the 40s north to the 60s interior south, but much uncertainty here.<br \/>\nWEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy early, then mostly cloudy with a period of rain showers and possibly a thunderstorm, ending late. Lows in the 50s south and temperatures rising to the 50s if they didn&#8217;t get there already to the north early morning. Highs in the 60s except cooler South Coast, but may turn much colder west to east all areas afternoon and evening. Timing is uncertain being 5 days away.<\/p>\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 5-9)<br \/>\nColder\/drier weather for the Red Sox home opener April 5, and then it&#8217;s time to watch late next week for a potential precipitation event that may be in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or any combination of the three. Lots of time to keep an eye on that possible event.<\/p>\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 10-14)<br \/>\nThough I would love to report a pattern change, I can&#8217;t quite that yet. Although I&#8217;m not seeing any signs of one of those spring blocks, I am continuing to see an active pattern with cool air domination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8:29AM DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 31-APRIL 4) You may remember the forecast several days ago started talking about an ending to the blocking pattern and a fast-flow pattern taking its place.
