DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 5-9)
\nThe pattern we see develop during this 5-day period is typical of spring – high pressure in Canada, series of low pressure areas passing near or south of southern New England. It’s a cool and unsettled pattern overall, but that doesn’t mean we can’t sneak in some milder weather, and we will do just that for a part of the weekend. The first low pressure system brings wet weather by tonight to very early Saturday, but we do salvage a good part of the weekend, later Saturday through much of Sunday, with dry weather, before the next low arrives for a rainy Monday. Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox home opener, does not look like a stellar spring day but rather a more typical one with onshore flow and at least a fair amount of cloudiness. It does, however, look like Monday’s steadier rain will be out of the picture by then. If things were to move a little more quickly, we could get rid of the easterly wind for a more northerly or even westerly one, but I would say odds are against that at this point.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 15-19)
\nOverall similar pattern looks like it may remain in place. Too early to tell which days would be coolest and which potentially milder, and which will be wetter, but will fine-tune going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
