NOTE
\nA net outage delayed today’s update, which doesn’t have many changes so it’s slightly abbreviated and much of the previous forecast is still intact in it.<\/p>\n
DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 14-18)
\nWarm front approaches today and passes tonight, then Monday sees a cold front pass by early in the day and a secondary trough later. Currently expecting most wet weather to be tonight and very early Monday and one more round of wet weather later Monday. It’s detailed below but I do believe the Boston Marathon will take place with minimal impact from weather and the Red Sox game will also be able to go on. Tuesday will be blustery spring day with lots of sun and wind as low pressure intensifies while moving away via eastern Canada and high pressure moves toward New England from the west. A warm front will approach slowly from the southwest Wednesday, which should be a dry day but may feature some cloudiness. There should be a period of wet weather at some point Wednesday night or part of Thursday as the front moves across the region, putting us into the warm sector by late Thursday.
\nForecast details…
\nTODAY: Increasing clouds. Rain possible end of day or nighttime, especially south and west of Boston. Highs 55-62, cooler some coastal areas. Wind light variable with sea breezes.

\nMONDAY (PATRIOTS DAY): Mostly cloudy. Rain showers and possible thunderstorms with brief downpours west to east across the region early morning. Isolated rain showers mid morning through early afternoon. Rain showers and a risk of thunderstorms west to east mid to late afternoon, with small hail possible in any heavier cells in this batch.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 19-23)
\nA low to moderate forecast based on timing, but current idea is warm sector weather with south to southwest wind, warm air, and occasional rain showers April 19-20, then a front getting to the east of the region with drier but still mild weather April 21. Upper level low pressure may bring some unsettled weather to the region at the end of the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 24-28)
\nBest wet weather risks April 24 and again April 27-28 weekend. We’ll need to keep an eye on river levels during the next few to several weeks as the spring warming melting the immense snow pack in northern New England and occasional wet weather events add to them. There will be flooding issues, the degree of which remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
