DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 3-7)
\nThe balance was tipped slightly too mild and not enough precipitation intensity for the snow to visit most of the region this morning. Still possible some mix occurs before mid morning in southeastern MA under a heavier band of precipitation, which has been generally rain. Either way, the bomb of a storm that is causing this will pass southeast of Cape Cod today and intensify a bit more as it heads toward eastern Canada. Its expanding wind field will cause a moderate to strong west wind later today as the air dries out rapidly. But this drying air coming off the hills and mountains to the west will also allow it to get rather mild, so this time you won’t be feeling the chill of winter behind the departing storm. It will turn cooler for Thursday and Friday however, and a disturbance may kick off some clouds Thursday before a low pressure area from the Ohio Valley spreads a more vast cloud canopy into the region Friday, followed by a rain threat later Friday, that may start as snow briefly in some areas. The bulk of this system will move through Friday night and may make the very start of the weekend gloomy early Saturday, but improving conditions will follow for the balance of the weekend as high pressure takes over. It will end up on the milder side, but coastal areas probably turn cooler with sea breezes on Sunday.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 8-12)
\nA quick push of warm air is possible early in the period before we return to a cooler and somewhat unsettled pattern. There’s some uncertainty as to how it plays out at this point. Much fine-tuning to do.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 13-17)
\nChilly start, brief warm up, then may cool down yet again. Overall pattern should be drier however, but this is still a low confidence forecast for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
