DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 10-14)
\nAs the new week begins, we keep some of the great weather we enjoyed over the weekend with sunshine to start, but we’ll lose the sun to advancing clouds during the day. If there was one down side to the dry weekend, it was the prolific pine pollen dusting everything greenish yellow, and the smaller unseen pollen grains giving people allergy fits. But that is just something we have to deal with around here every year at this time, and is a price to pay for getting to the nice weather so many wanted. So, as a former bad allergy sufferer, I sympathize. If there is some good news about unsettled weather, it will be that it will help reduce the pollen count, and that wet weather is on the way for later tonight into early Tuesday, as a warm front and then a cold front cross the region in rapid succession, parented by low pressure passing north of the region. By Tuesday afternoon, we’ll already be dry with a westerly wind and clearing. High pressure builds in for a wonderful Wednesday, the pick of the work week if you can somehow make it a non-work day or happen to have it off. Another passing low pressure area this time with an onshore wind ahead of a center that will cut across southern New England, will bring wet and cooler weather Thursday. But don’t look out the window that day and think we’re right back into or still in the same pattern we were before. In fact, these 2 bouts of rain this week are needed as it has turned a little dry recently, and regular rains are still needed. It does not take long for the top layers of the ground to dry out. But since nobody is really going to want to see days on end of clouds and wet weather, they will be happy when the sun returns Friday, albeit with passing clouds and a gusty breeze, as dry air returns behind the low pressure area.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 15-19)
\nThe June 15-16 weekend looks mainly rain-free but we may see a couple disturbances bring a period or two of cloudiness and perhaps the shower\/thunderstorm risk may increase by later Sunday if things move along quickly enough, but for now leaning toward a great weekend. Frontal boundary nearby will bring shower\/thunderstorm chances at times June 17-18 before high pressure brings fair weather by the end of this period. Temperatures will vary but will average near to slightly above normal with no major heat in sight at this time.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 20-24)
\nThe overall pattern will be zonal (west to east flow) with a couple disturbances bringing us shower and thunderstorm opportunities, which are impossible to pin-point, timing-wise, so many days in advance. Still no sign of major heat in this period though some of our medium range guidance indicates it will be building to our west and southwest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
