DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 8-12)
\nRainy days and Mondays… That great song by the Carpenters always enters my mind when those 2 occur together, but they don’t get me down because as you all know by now, I’m not one of the majority that feel down on Mondays and\/or rainy days. I love both of them. But many of you may feel down for part of the day at least as we get a slug of rain through here mainly during this morning. Don’t expect any clearing though this afternoon, even though the steadiest rain will be gone. There will still be a additional showers and perhaps even a rumble of thunder as some warmer and unstable air crosses the region, kind of. The kind of part is because you won’t feel the warm air down here at ground level as we’ll have had a marine layer of air take over on a low level northeast wind, turning it quite cool and damp. And as you know, when that happens around here in the spring it’s often very hard to dislodge that. And that will be the case yet again, as this marine layer of air hangs on through Tuesday as well, as another low pressure area heads for northern NY via the Great Lakes. However, this low will decide to morph its way around the edge of the colder air and end up passing just south of the region Tuesday night, getting to the east of the region Wednesday. As I’ve been talking about in previous blogs, the Red Sox home opener is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, and for several days my expectations for that event were chilly\/raw\/overcast. This has not changed. There is a risk of drizzle, but for now I am optimistic that more significant rainfall in the form of numerous showers will hold off until sometime after the game, unless it’s a longer than average game. As colder air starts to work in, some of these showers may be in the form of ice pellets in southern NH by Tuesday evening, and even colder air means showers of rain\/sleet\/snow working southward across the region during Wednesday morning. There would not be any accumulation of snow fell, however, so no worries on that. Improving weather arrives later Wednesday, though it will be a chilly and breezy day. High pressure builds in for nicer weather Thursday, and the high moves offshore and allows milder air in for Friday, but the first of 2 cold fronts approaching from the west will also bring a rain shower threat by later Friday.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 13-17)
\nDry weather returns with a brisk breeze April 13 but mild ahead of a secondary cold front which passes late-day and brings brief chill at night to early April 14, which will also be fair but less breezy and eventually milder. Watching the April 15-16 period for possible impact by low pressure, but leaning toward a slower arrival with the possibility of getting through much of April 15 before rain arrives. Improving weather at the end of the period but cool air dominant.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 18-22)
\nHard to time systems but the pattern still looks somewhat active but fairly progressive. Will lean toward dry weather and brief warm up early period, unsettled mid period, then fair with a slight cooling trend thereafter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
