DAYS 1-5 (MAY 13-17)
\nUnseasonably cool weather dominates the area for the early part of this week. Along with that will come unsettled weather as a coastal storm develops, making the weather map look a little bit like winter. In fact, enough cold air will be around that some of the precipitation, which begins later today as rain, may mix with or even turn to snow for a time tonight and early Tuesday in higher elevations. Snow in May in southern New England is quite rare, but certainly not unheard of. So once we get by that, it’s better, but not great, as upper level low pressure hangs around and additional disturbances drop into the flow and cause risks of showers mid to late week as well.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 18-22)
\nUpper level low pressure may hang around for a couple days before being replaced by a flat ridge of high pressure. This period should be mostly dry, but not completely rain-free, though timing is uncertain on disturbances and shower threats, so will have to fine-tune that. The temperature trend should be warming, as it starts out below normal and ends near to above normal.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 23-27)
\nBrief interruption of wet weather about May 24 in an otherwise warmer, drier pattern as it looks like we’ll be on the “better” side of a block overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
