DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 21-25)
\nA strong cold front will charge across southeastern New England later today bringing one or 2 bands of showers and embedded thunderstorms. At the very least, the final band should be a pretty solid one, lasting up to a couple hours in terms of rainfall, but may be accompanied by a burst strong wind and brief small hail. Isolate wind damage can occur, which could lead to a few power outages. Also where rain is heavy enough, reduced visibility and ponding of water can make travel more hazardous, so be on the look-out for these conditions if you have to be out. Once this front clears the region tonight, we’ll turn windy with the feel of late winter settling in, and as I mentioned on the previous blog, only our high late April sun angle will keep Wednesday from feeling like a winter day with a temperatures considerably below normal and a gusty wind. Also look for some fair weather clouds to pop on Wednesday due to even colder air aloft. Many times in the spring we see things slow down in the atmosphere and systems hang around for days at a time. That is not the case with the current pattern and as quickly as we lose the influence of the cold front and the windy chilly Wednesday we’ll be seeing more changes Thursday and Friday. First a warm front approaches Thursday and sends the clouds back in, but that front won’t ever make it through here as its parent low will track south of the region early Friday, spreading a shield of rain across much of the region, steadiest\/heaviest to the south, before moving out late in the day and allowing a drier interlude to take place Saturday as a small area of high pressure moves in.
