DAYS 1-5 (MAY 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The evolution of weather changes due to the position of high pressure continues, and today will be the warmest day of the stretch for many areas, along with lots of sun. But wait, you woke up early this morning and it was cloudy over Cape Ann and in most areas south of the I-90 (Mass Pike)! Yes, that lingering marine layer of air responsible from the low clouds at times since Sunday night. That will be gone in a matter of a couple hours as the sun burns it off. Yesterday, the predominant wind direction, while not strong, was from the southeast, keeping all coastal areas significantly cooler than inland locations. Today, the wind direction will be southwesterly, and that allows east-facing coastal areas to warm up as well, while south-facing and the limited west-facing shores (outer Cape Cod, for example), still are cooled by air passing over water first. You know the drill by now, right? Onward we go and we’ll see increasing moisture starting tonight in the form of cloudiness, which will be dominant both Thursday and Friday, as the air flow becomes a little more straight southerly. A shower threat will exist both Thursday night and Friday, but this early in the season a southerly wind limits thunderstorm chances without stronger additional dynamics, and I think any thunderstorm threat on Friday is now minimal unless you are well inland and near hilly terrain, and there are enough breaks of sunshine to help cook up stronger showers that could build enough. Something to watch. But we’ll also have a slower-moving cold front, which will not likely pass through the region until Saturday morning. The lack of lift on Friday from this feature will also limit thunderstorm chances, but the slower movement of the front will keep shower chances going into at least a portion of Saturday before improvement ensues. High pressure will move in for a stellar Sunday to end the month of May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For several days now I’ve been eyeing a turn back to cooler weather for early June. This will take place as we see a bit of a blocking pattern and an anomalous cool upper level and surface pattern evolve, first with a dry cold front passing by June 1 and then low pressure forming and doing a loop offshore by June 2 helping to pull the initial shot of cool air into the region. We’ll have to watch that offshore low for its position, because sometimes these things can migrate far enough west to bring at least cloudiness and possibly wet weather to this area but for now thinking it stays mostly offshore and just serves as a driver of cool air. The behavior of that feature will impact the timing of what comes after, but based on current expected occurrences thinking that we get briefly fair and milder weather June 3 then some unsettled weather and a renewed push of cool air for June 4-5. Probably some adjustment will be needed for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall pattern continues to look cooler and drier than average but at least one threat of showers\/thunderstorms should occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
