DAYS 1-5 (MAY 9-13)
\nA few adjustments to the forecast for this period. First, high pressure remains in control today with again the coast being cooler, typical for springtime. Last week, medium range guidance showed the potential for a low pressure area impacting the East Coast around May 9. Turns out this model forecast was somewhat correct, as an area of low pressure offshore, moving northward, will be close enough to drag an area of rain through Nantucket and the outer part of Cape Cod tonight, but it will be quickly gone by early Thursday as a cold front approaches the region from the west. This front will cross Thursday night when a shower risk exists. Our quickly changing weather continues with high pressure building in Friday or a nice day. Things are starting to come into focus a little more for the weekend. It looks like the front that went through Thursday night, sitting just to the south through Friday, will come back as a warm front Saturday, preceded by a period of rain, then pushing north enough to allow some milder and more humid air in, but this won’t last either, as the front quickly pushes back to the south with another period of wet weather early Sunday, but high pressure should then push the front further south and move in for a nicer finish to Mother’s Day.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 14-18)
\nHigh pressure sinks to the south for fair and warmer weather May 14-15 before a stretch of unsettled weather arrives during the middle to end of the period with a front in the vicinity.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 19-23)
\nLeaning away from the omega block idea for now but we do have to watch for more unsettled weather anyway with high pressure in Canada and a frontal boundary near or south of the region for at least a portion of this period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
