DAYS 1-5 (MAY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure brings nice weather to start today but clouds will be on the advance ahead of a cold front and developing low pressure system later, and tonight we’ll turn wet with rain arriving, but as the front pushes through the region and anomalous cold both surface and aloft arrive, we’re going to see rain flip to snow in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday in the higher elevations of central MA and southwestern NH to start, and then as the low pressure system, tracking northeastward close to the South Coast, starts to pull away, the mix\/snow line will try to advance toward the coast. Now keeping in mind that it’s May, the worst that is likely to happen is up to an inch or so of slushy accumulation on unpaved surfaces in higher elevations and maybe a quick coating on grassy areas a little further southeast, into the Boston suburbs, which would melt in rapid fashion after daybreak Saturday, even if there were still flakes in the air for a while. Nevertheless we’ll be left with a blustery and unseasonably chilly Saturday, with lots of clouds and a passing shower of rain or even mixed rain\/snow over the hills. This improves to a sunnier Sunday, still with some passing clouds, a breezy but not as windy, and a chilly feel to the air but not as cold as Saturday. I also think that we may be saved from a frost and potential late season freeze by the breeze that will keep the air mixed Sunday morning so the temperature doesn’t fall to it’s potential lowest level. At least this Mother’s Day won’t be rainy, mixed with sleet in some areas, like 2019’s. We’d also have to worry about a frost\/freeze Sunday night \/ Monday morning, but I think the rapid movement of weather systems means a blanket of clouds will already be in place to keep temperatures in check. Another slug of rain is expected Monday with the passage of the next low pressure area, but this time rain, no snow involved. That moves away quickly and is replaced by high pressure with fair, cool weather Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General west to east flow pattern expected. Current timing would have it cool with a disturbance bringing the risk of a passing rain shower May 13, then dry and milder May 14. A system passing north of the region brings clouds and a brief wet weather threat later May 15 to early May 16 followed by fair and briefly cooler then milder through May 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General pattern in this time frame looks zonal (west to east) and more relaxed toward seasonably milder with a couple minor rainfall threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
