DAYS 1-5 (MAY 26-30)
\nAs promised, the wet weather came at night between days 1 & 2 of the Memorial Day Weekend. The last few lingering showers are moving off the East Coast of Massachusetts early this morning and that ends the warm front precipitation episode. Some of the showers were indeed thunderstorms in the late-night hours, providing a bit of a light show, especially west and south of Boston. Now today, its warmth and increased humidity as the features, but we cannot rule out a pop up shower or thunderstorm this afternoon and very early evening in the slightly unstable air in place. The support for showers and storms is not really that great, however, so they should be just isolated, and short-lived. A cold front will cross the region this evening without any fanfare, just a wind shift and a drop in humidity during the night. This will set up a spectacular Memorial Day as high pressure moves in and brings sunshine with dry and mild air, although the coast will likely cool due to a sea breeze. But there will be no weather issues for outdoor observances \/ ceremonies \/ parades for the day. Unsettled weather will return during the Tuesday-Thursday period when we have a warm front approach Tuesday and then we may see that boundary hang up right in our area Wednesday and Thursday, making for a nearly impossible temperature forecast which I will lean toward the warmer side of for now, but with the caveat these may be adjusted downward. It will be hard to time any wet weather until we get closer to those days.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 31-JUNE 4)
\nHigh pressure should become more dominant but it will be on the weaker side and a boundary between slightly cooler\/drier air and much warmer\/humid air will sit to the south for a good portion of this period. The overall idea in this pattern is mostly dry, temperatures close to seasonal averages overall. But any time a boundary sits to the south it must be watched for the potential of sending unsettled weather back into the region, so we will be somewhat vulnerable and will have to keep an eye on it.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 5-9)
\nA trough crossing eastern Canada may send a couple disturbances and shower\/t-storm chances into SNE a couple times during this period. Temperatures overall should be fairly close to seasonal averages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
