DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 1-5)
\nHello June! May went out with a smoke show as high altitude smoke from Canadian forest fires made for fairly rare conditions for filtered sun that was orange to red far higher in the sky than you’d normally see, and the sun even vanished from site before it set, despite lack of clouds. Our first sunrise of June was the same as the smoke lingers. We may not see the same thing repeat this evening, as there will be more cloudiness – both low clouds near coastal areas and higher clouds from the west. Those clouds from the west will be associated with showers and thunderstorms that may make it as far east as the Connecticut River Valley before expiring due to stable air they will be running into. I’d be surprised if a remnant shower made it anywhere close to the coast overnight. Sunday will be a slightly more pronounced repeat of today, in which the showers and storms may make a better run into eastern areas during the evening as they fall apart, but again look for generally dry weather for the great majority of the time, which is good news for many outdoor graduation ceremonies taking place. At one point I was worried that it would turn quite wet around here Sunday afternoon. That is no longer the case. As we start the new week, a cool pool of air above us will result in the typical instability clouds and possible pop up showers Monday and Tuesday, before it gets far enough east for high pressure to build in for a nice Wednesday, and the center passing south of the region should provide a general land breeze (except Cape Cod) and a fairly quick warm-up for most of the region.
\nForecast details…
\nTODAY: Smoke-filtered sun, eventually more clouds. Coastal areas may be in and out of fog\/low clouds. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 interior. Wind light E to SE.
\nTONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A shower or thunderstorms may reach southwestern NH, central MA, and eastern CT late evening and a slight risk of a stray shower further east overnight. Areas of fog, especially coast. Lows 55-62. Wind light SE to S.
\nSUNDAY: Areas of low clouds and fog early to mid morning, then partly sunny later morning into afternoon except areas of fog may linger near the South Coast. Increasing clouds west to east later. Highs 63-68 coastline, 68-73 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
\nSUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Showers and a risk of a thunderstorm southwestern NH, central MA, eastern CT, and a risk of showers further east. Lows 55-62. Wind light variable.
\nMONDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers, mainly afternoon and early evening. Highs 63-70. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
\nMONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers possible early. Lows 50-57. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
\nTUESDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers possible. Highs 64-71. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts possible morning, W 5-15 MPH afternoon.

\nWEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82, cooler Cape Cod. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 6-10)
\nThe large scale pattern will be similar to the current one, mean trough position in eastern Canada with a ridge to the west (Midwest \/ Great Lakes). This pattern will send disturbances southeastward across New England and bring a few opportunities for showers. Temperatures, while somewhat variable, will average fairly close to seasonal normals overall.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 11-15)
\nSame general idea as previously with pattern persistence. Not comfortable forecasting any significant changes at this time, although one of the more reliable medium ranges models does turn it hotter rather quickly. Could that be the quick pattern shift I have referred to? I’m not confident enough to go with it yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
