DAYS 1-5 (MAY 23-27)
\nNice weather returns today but the only possible interruption is an isolated shower late from a disturbance traveling northwest to southeast across the region with a pocket of very cold air aloft passing over sun-heated ground. That is a recipe for pop up showers. Looking like this chance will be brief and limited to southern NH and northeastern MA, however. High pressure will control the weather Thursday and Friday, with wind direction making all the difference in temperature. Thursday we will see a cool onshore flow, while Friday is a land breeze from the west and an immediate significant warm up. When we get into Memorial Day Weekend it becomes more complicated (of course) as a cold front drops down from the north on Saturday, which itself will be another warm and somewhat more humid day. Other than a possible shower or thunderstorm with this front, its main impact is going to be to return the onshore flow and cooler air for Sunday, the wildcard being how much cloudiness and whether or not there will be any additional precipitation. I am playing this somewhat optimistically, thinking it may push far enough south to allow a pocket of drier air from eastern Canada to enter the mix. More to come as we get closer to and into the weekend. Forecast details…
\nTODAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Isolated shower possible late-day favoring southern NH and northeastern MA. Highs 68-75 South Coast, 76-83 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW.
\nTONIGHT: Variably cloudy with a possible shower early, then clearing. Patchy fog interior valleys. Lows 48-54. Wind light NW early then calm.
\nTHURSDAY: Mostly sunny but partly sunny for a while Cape Cod and MA South Shore. Highs 58-65 coast, coolest Cape Cod, 66-72 interior. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
\nTHURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Patchy fog interior low elevations. Lows 49-56. Wind calm.
\nFRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82 immediate South Coast and Cape Cod, 83-90 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
\nSATURDAY: Partly sunny. Late day shower or thunderstorm possible. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 80s except 70s some coastal areas.
\nSUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s, coolest coast.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (MAY 28-JUNE 1)
\nCautiously optimistic that Memorial Day Monday May 28 and Tuesday May 29 are both mainly dry as high pressure holds moisture off to the south. A front drops out of Canada with a shower risk Wednesday May 30 and a shot of cooler air briefly for Thursday May 31 before a rapid warm up arrives to start June as high pressure sinks to the south. This is a fairly detailed try at this period so it is with moderate confidence and subject to adjustment.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 2-6)
\nThe trend will be for cooler and somewhat unsettled weather to return for this period as upper level low pressure takes over the pattern for a while. This does not look like a major wet spell or major cool spell, nor is it expected to become a long-term pattern either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
