DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 15-19)

Temperature antics early this morning: upper 40s to middle 50s just after sunrise in most of the region while Logan sits at 67 with a west wind blowing “heat island” air across the harbor to the airport. This spot won’t rise too much today before it goes the other way, while most other areas do rise notably before the back-door front that chills the coast first eventually starts to penetrate inland somewhat, particularly from the MA South Shore northward to the NH Seacoast. The cooler side of the air battling air masses will reside over most of our region then through tomorrow, with a quick attempted warm-up that evening into Friday before another push from the north and east sends us to the cooler side once again. A series of disturbances from the northwest also brings us shower and thunderstorm chances at times later today as well as Thursday and Friday. Most times will be rain-free, but several opportunities for wet weather exist. Any rainfall is good for ongoing abnormally dry / drought conditions and also in keeping fire danger in check as we are in prime brush fire season now. One adjustment to the forecast is for Saturday which appears it may have more northeast to east wind instead of north to northwest. This leads me to believe that cloudiness will be more dominant than it would otherwise have been. After that, low pressure moving through the Great Lakes will shift our wind to southerly on Sunday, pulling warmer air back in, but its approaching cold front also brings a shower and thunderstorm threat before that day ends – more precise timing TBD.

TODAY: Variably cloudy. A chance of a pop up shower and slight chance of an inland thunderstorm. Highs 57-64 South Coast, 65-72 MA South Shore and Cape Ann to NH Seacoast, 73-80 elsewhere, but likely turning sharply cooler at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day. Wind SW 5-15 MPH likely shifting to NE and E at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a shower. Occasional drizzle. Patchy fog. Lows 45-52. Wind NE 5-15 MPH coast and variable up to 10 MPH inland.

THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of showers and drizzle. Areas of fog. Highs 52-59 coastal areas and 60-67 inland. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Showers likely. Areas of fog. Lows 51-58. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms, favoring morning and midday. Highs 58-65 except cooler in some coastal areas. Wind S to variable 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers in the evening. Lows 45-52. Wind variable to E up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 52-59. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 45-52 evening, may rise overnight. Wind E shifting to S 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Variably cloudy. Showers and possible thunderstorms arrive west to east during the day. Highs 52-59 South Coast, 60-67 elsewhere. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 20-24)

A northwesterly air flow brings drier, cooler weather early to mid portion of next week as high pressure builds in and dominates for a few days, before a rain chance late week due to approaching low pressure.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 25-29)

Early and mid period wet weather chances before it dries out. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 14-18)

More classic springtime weather in our region. Today, we find a warm air mass has arrived here as we’ll have a southwesterly air flow – in general. But that immediately comes with caveats here in the spring. As previously (many times) mentioned, this wind flow off the water south of New England keeps the South Coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands cooler than the rest of the region. Today, we also can see a notable sea breeze on the MA North Shore to the NH Seacoast (lesser chance on the MA South Shore). This will be reflected in today’s temperature forecast below. While the temperature antics are ongoing, a disturbance approaching from the west northwest can trigger showers and thunderstorms of the scattered to clustered variety that may move into and across parts of our region starting later this afternoon with a trend of fading and dissipating as they head further east and south, but keep an eye out for at least a quick shower, maybe a downpour and some thunder – highest chance of the latter being north central MA into southern NH. Wednesday is a “fun” day in that we’ll be watching the front trailing behind the departing disturbance to orient itself as a back-door cold front with the help of high pressure to the north. Short range guidance has been wavering around on the timing of this feature, but has hinted that it will make a pretty significant advance southwestward by sometime Wednesday night. With a little lingering uncertainty on exact timing, I’ll leave my forecast for Wednesday’s temperatures as previously written and make any necessary adjustments on the next update. For weather, we’ll see a sun / cloud mix with a shower chance and even low chance of a pop up thunderstorm. We’ll watch for a deck of low stratus clouds to accompany the wind shift to northeast associated with the back door cold front – again timing a little up in the air on this, and it may only make limited progress into southeastern NH and eastern MA by day’s end. If this front behaves as I expect, it will sit to our southwest by Thursday morning, and the latest indications are that it will be held at bay from moving back as a warm front that day by “just enough” eastern Canadian high pressure. This would result in a cool, mostly cloudy day with patchy drizzle and a few showers around. There could be a little more rainfall especially later on once that front starts to receive a boot from low pressure moving into the Great Lakes along with added moisture. While the Friday forecast is a little lower confidence, my current idea is that the front will make its way back across the region as a warm front, with Friday’s high temps dependent on how much sun can break out between that front’s passage and the approach of a trough and a cold front as low pressure passes to the north. These features will also be the triggers of additional showers and thunderstorms which we’ll have to keep an eye out for that day – though they may hold off until later day or nighttime. Looking ahead to the start of the weekend – I expect that system to pull through the region and introduce a shot of cooler air for Saturday, along with a gusty breeze. A slower exit could result in Saturday starting grey and damp, while a quick exit would dry it out sooner and leave the day with a sun / cloud mix. Appropriate tweaks to come.

TODAY: Sun / cloud mix. A late-day shower or thunderstorm chance north central to northeastern MA and southern NH. Highs 56-63 South Coast, 64-71 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 72-79 elsewhere. Temps can fall sharply to 50s NH Seacoast and MA North Shore midday / afternoon. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, potentially shifting to E NH Seacoast and MA North Shore.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. A few showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorm favoring eastern MA early. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. A chance of a pop up shower and slight chance of an inland thunderstorm. Highs 57-64 South Coast, 65-72 MA South Shore and Cape Ann to NH Seacoast, 73-80 elsewhere, but likely turning sharply cooler at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day. Wind SW 5-15 MPH likely shifting to NE and E at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a shower. Occasional drizzle. Patchy fog. Lows 45-52. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of showers and drizzle. Areas of fog. Highs 52-59, may be slightly cooler immediate eastern coastal areas and slightly warmer far inland. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Areas of drizzle / fog. Temperatures steady or may rise slightly. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 53-60 South Coast, 61-68 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 69-76 elsewhere. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows 45-52. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH, higher gusts possible, shifting to N overnight.

SATURDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 58-65. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 19-23)

Look for a quick push of warm air followed by a shower and thunderstorm chance as low pressure passes north of the region on April 19. This will be followed by a Canadian air mass with cooler, dry weather early to middle part of next week, starting breezy between departing low pressure and advancing high pressure then trending more tranquil as the high builds over the region.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 24-28)

Pattern may turn a little wetter but stay on the cooler side of normal heading through this period.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 13-17)

There are alot of little details to work out this week with respect to sea breezes and a frontal boundary in what would otherwise be a pretty warm pattern. Today, the front goes by as a warm front early on with no more than a few lingering light showers around this morning. Another disturbance may bring a late-day or evening shower especially to northern MA and southern NH. In between, we may see breaks of sun but clouds will be largely dominant today, limiting the temperature rise to the 60s in most areas (lower 70s possible where enough sun occurs). Exception (of course): South Coast where a southwest wind cools that area due to passing over the ocean water just south of New England, and you’ll see that repeat again on the regionally warmer days this week when the wind is from that direction. One of those will be Tuesday, but with more sunshine, so away from the cooling influence at the South Coast, high temps of 70+ seem likely. However, this may be interrupted by a sea breeze in the afternoon especially from the MA North Shore to the NH Seacoast, where it could tumble back to the 50s in short order. Wednesday is the day with a bit more uncertainty. Some of our newer (but so far fairly reliable) short range guidance suggest that after a disturbance passes by Tuesday night, which may bring a shower, that its cold front pivots south and southwest as a back-door cold front being given an extra push by high pressure in eastern Canada. When this possibility presents itself and we’re at this time of year with this particular set-up, I tend to lean to the cooler side of the warmer, and I’ll do that at least for eastern areas for Wednesday, while inland areas can warm up much more so long as the frontal boundary doesn’t move even further inland. It looks like we’ll get a push of the boundary back to the north and east as a warm front Thursday when we have a warmer potential (except modified South Coast temps again) into Friday, before another disturbance brings the front back our way with a shower and thunderstorm threat potential on Friday. Confidence in the forecast detail is much lower by then, so keep up with the updates during the week!

TODAY: Mostly cloudy. A shower possible, mainly late-day and favoring southern NH / northern MA. Highs 48-55 Nantucket / Martha’s Vineyard, 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 most other areas except 66-73 interior valleys. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower southern NH and northern MA in the evening. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 71-78 elsewhere. Temps can fall sharply to 50s NH Seacoast and MA North Shore in the afternoon. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, potentially shifting to E NH Seacoast and MA North Shore.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A shower possible, favoring southern NH and northern MA. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 62-69 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 70-77 elsewhere, but likely turning sharply cooler at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day. Wind SW 5-15 MPH likely shifting to NE and E at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Lows 45-52 except 52-59 interior southern MA. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 71-78 elsewhere. Wind variable becoming SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs 53-60 South Coast, 61-68 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 69-76 elsewhere. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 18-22)

Battle zone here between cool high pressure in eastern Canada, a warmer high pressure ridge to our south, with a frontal boundary providing a path for disturbances in between. Leaning cooler April 18, warmer April 19, then a stronger push of cooler air from the north and west after that which may be marked by showers and thunderstorms later April 19 followed by drier, cooler weather early next week.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 23-27)

One ore two opportunities for wet weather in a variable temperatures pattern during this period.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 12-16)

High pressure sits over our region today with much lighter wind than yesterday, but allowing for coastal sea breezes to develop as it tries to warm up from abundant sun, before it gives way to increasing clouds. These clouds will fan across the sky from the west in advance of a warm front which passes by tonight. Shower chances will be greatest near the MA / NH border with this feature. The front will bring in much warmer air for Monday, though the southwesterly air flow we’re in will produce a cooling influence along the South Coast, coming off the ocean water to the south of New England. A trough will make a run through the region Monday night, at which time I cannot rule out a passing isolated shower. We stay in the warm air Tuesday, but again with the cooling influence at the South Coast with southwest to south wind off the ocean. A low pressure disturbance passing by to our north Tuesday night will bring the remnants of a batch of showers and thunderstorms moving from the Great Lakes through New York into New England, so a shower is possible. The cold front trailing this system will bend around into its springtime back-door front orientation, driven by high pressure nosing into the Canadian Maritimes and Maine behind that disturbance. This means that at least southeastern NH and eastern MA can end up much cooler for Wednesday. The warm air tries to make a come-back into these areas by Thursday, but as we get out that far into the forecast time frame the details of those kinds of changes are harder to forecast. Check updates as we move through the coming days!

TODAY: Sunshine followed by clouds. Highs 48-53 coast, 54-59 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with developing coastal sea breezes.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a shower mainly southern NH / northern MA. Lows 45-52 evening, rising slowly overnight. Wind SE up to 10 MPH evening, shifting to SW 10-20 MPH overnight.

MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. A shower possible, mainly late-day and favoring southern NH / northern MA. Highs 48-55 Nantucket / Martha’s Vineyard, 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 most other areas except 66-73 interior valleys. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower southern NH and northern MA in the evening. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 71-78 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A shower possible, favoring southern NH and northern MA. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 62-69 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 70-77 elsewhere, but likely turning sharply cooler at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day. Wind SW 5-15 MPH likely shifting to NE and E at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA during the day.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Lows 45-52 except 52-59 interior southern MA. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of a shower. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 71-78 elsewhere. Wind variable becoming SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 17-21)

Battle zone here between cool high pressure in eastern Canada, a warmer high pressure ridge to our south, with a frontal boundary providing a path for disturbances in between. Leaning warmer April 17, cooler April 18, warmer April 19, then a stronger push of cooler air from the north and west after that. Shower chances exist mostly around the time of air mass changes.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 22-26)

One ore two opportunities for wet weather in a variable temperatures pattern heading into late month.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 11-15)

Changeable April weather is in the cards over the next few days. This includes some breezy and cool weather today behind a cold front that passed through our region overnight with some showers. Next up is a more tranquil Sunday with high pressure overhead, but this will promote the development of a sea breeze rather quickly – by late morning- ensuring the coastal areas do not warm as much as the interior. We’ll also see clouds moving in after a sunny start, due to the approach of a warm front from the southwest. This will bring us a couple periods of rain Sunday night, but introduce warmer air for Monday, despite a lot of clouds being around and the chance of an additional shower as a weak cold front approaches. A southwesterly wind on Monday brings ocean-cooled air to the South Coast and Cape Cod, so readings that day will not be as high as they are the further north and northwest you travel. The aforementioned cold front never does quite make it through the region, pushed back to the north by a building ridge of high pressure to the southwest of New England. This will allow much of the region to be quite warm on Tuesday, this time without a shower threat and with more sunshine. The question after that is: Do we keep this weather for Wednesday, or does a back-door cold front spoil the party for parts of our region? I’m always on the look-out for high pressure in eastern Canada in springtime, as it always raises the threat that a forecast warm-up may not quite pan out as depicted at first. High pressure in eastern Canada is often under-forecast by guidance, and the boundaries that separate the air with them, chilled by lingering snow-cover in eastern Canada, aided by a trip across the chilly ocean water of the Gulf of Maine tend to be pushed further south and west than the models will initially indicate. I cannot rule out the potential for this happening as early as Wednesday, so when we get to “day 5”, you’ll see it reflected in the temperature and wind forecast, and refined as needed, hopefully with more confidence, as we go forward.

TODAY: Sun / cloud mix to start, then more dominant sun. Highs 54-61. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-35 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 31-38. Wind NW diminishing to under 10 MPH, becoming variable.

SUNDAY: Sunny start, then increasing clouds. Highs 52-59 coast, 59-66 inland. Wind variable under 10 MPH but developing onshore wind in coastal areas up to 15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. A shower possible. Highs 48-55 Nantucket / Martha’s Vineyard, 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 most other areas except 66-73 interior valleys. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 62-69 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 70-77 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 55-62 South Coast, 62-69 MA South Shore and Cape Ann, 70-77 elsewhere, but may turn sharply cooler at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA before end of day. Wind SW 5-15 MPH may shift to NE and E at least NH Seacoast and eastern MA before end of day.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 16-20)

Keeping the previous idea for this period while continuing to watch high pressure in eastern Canada with cool air, while much warmer air sits nearby just to the west and south and we have a typical springtime battle. The leaning is toward the cooler air early in the period, then the warmer air again after, but with very low confidence in how it plays out day-to-day. Check updates as I monitor trends.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 21-25)

Dry pattern to start may shift wetter later in the period. Variable temperatures but with a cooler trend indicated.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 10-14)

There’s a chill in the air again to start the day today with many low temperatures in the 30s, some upper 20s in the normal cold spots, and some areas near 40 over Cape Cod. Today, however, we gain ground over yesterday’s highs when many areas exceed 60. The exception once again will be the South Coast, which stayed in the 40s yesterday and will only manage the 50s at best today with a southwest wind, which blows over cooler ocean water just south of New England before reaching the area. It will be a fair weather daytime though, with just some patchy clouds around to start and more clouds arriving later on as a cold front approaches from the northwest. This front will pass through the region tonight, producing a few showers. It sends slightly cooler air into our region on a northerly wind during Saturday, a day that will be dry with a sun / cloud mix, but sun expected to be dominant. High pressure moves overhead at night which will be clear and chilly. Sunday starts sunny before we see increasing clouds ahead of an approaching warm front. High pressure still over the region keeps the winds light, which makes the region prone to coastal sea breezes, which means the mildest high temps for the day will be inland. Clouds thicken Sunday evening with a period of rain possible at night as the warm front moves through, its parent low passing to our north. This keeps us region in the warm sector Monday while a weak cold front approaches from the northwest. A southwesterly air flow warms most of the region, but as you know, the South Coast, Cape Cod, and the Islands don’t warm up efficiently with that set-up. There will be varying amounts of clouds but a very limited shower chance Monday. The front does go by that evening and a high pressure area to our north means that while fair weather is expected Tuesday, the air ends up a little cooler, particularly in eastern coastal areas, with a north to northeast breeze developing.

TODAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 63-70 except 55-62 South Coast and 48-55 Cape Cod / Islands. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers, especially overnight. Lows 41-48. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to N.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 45-52. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sun eventually gives way to clouds. Highs 53-60 coast, 60-67 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly sunny. A shower possible. Highs 48-55 Nantucket / Martha’s Vineyard, 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 most other areas except 66-73 interior valleys. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 43-50. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to N.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 55-62 coast, 62-69 inland. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 15-19)

Watching high pressure in eastern Canada with cool air, while much warmer air sits nearby just to the west and south. Typical springtime battle potential with a wide range of temperature possibilities middle to end of next week and while mainly dry, can’t rule out a couple of precipitation episodes with frontal passages. There will be a lot of fine-tuning to do with these days.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 20-24)

Dry pattern to start may shift wetter toward period’s end. Temperatures typically variable for April.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 9-13)

A cold and in some areas frosty morning with high pressure overhead providing clear sky and light wind. You’ll notice a better recovery than what we had yesterday as many areas reach or exceed 50 later today under abundant sunshine. High pressure settling to the south does not allow it to get as cold tonight, and pushes a further warm-up tomorrow, with many areas – away from the influence of the South Coast cooling with a southwest wind – better today’s high temps by a half dozen to one dozen degrees (many 60+ readings). This warm-up will be held up though as a cold front passes through Friday night, trailing low pressure moving across southern Canada. This front keeps Friday night quite mild but likely brings a few showers through the region, primarily overnight – i.e., the early hours of Saturday morning. Saturday’s weather will be slightly cooler and breezy, featuring sun and passing clouds as high pressure builds our way from the west. This high will sit over our region on Sunday which provides sun and light wind, but allows for the development of cooling coastal sea breezes, and they are quite notable at this point in the season when the water temps are still mainly in the 40s. So, if you’re afternoon walk is along the coastline on Sunday, be ready for that chill. You’ll also notice an increase in high to mid level clouds as Sunday goes on, ahead of an approaching warm front. This front goes by at night and may produce brief light rain, setting up a warmer day Monday with a southwesterly air flow ahead of an approaching cold front. That front may have limited moisture to work with, however, and the shower chance is likely to be limited while clouds may be abundant. Also keep in mind that a southwesterly air flow will once again keep the South Coast cooler than the remainder of the region.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59 except 45-52 South Coast. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 63-70 except 55-62 South Coast and 48-55 Cape Cod / Islands. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers, especially overnight. Lows 41-48. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to N.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 45-52. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Sun eventually gives way to clouds. Highs 53-60 coast, 60-67 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly sunny. A shower possible. Highs 48-55 Nantucket / Martha’s Vineyard, 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 most other areas except 66-73 interior valleys. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 14-18)

Warmer weather hangs on to start the period April 14. Watching high pressure in eastern Canada to send a push of cooler air this way by the middle to latter portion of next week. May be an interruption or two with unsettled weather but the majority of the time looks precipitation-free. Elevated brush fire risk likely.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 19-23)

Overall pattern looks variable in temperature but on the drier side. Details to be determined.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 8-12)

Our weather pattern is more straightforward this week, leading to an easier tracking of the systems that result in our day-to-day weather. A chilly high pressure area builds in today, a brighter day than yesterday, with dry weather and abundant sun, except morning clouds over Cape Cod and the Islands. The high slides off the coast tonight and Thursday into Friday when we’ll continue fair weather but with a solid warming trend when a southwesterly air flow becomes established. As is the case though, this air flow off the ocean water south of New England results in modified temperatures – not as warm – for the South Coast and Cape Cod. Low pressure passing well to our north will send a cold front through our region on Friday night, and this may produce a round of showers. The weekend looks fair, governed by high pressure, first to our west on Saturday with a cooler northerly air flow. The high center then moves overhead to just south of our region Sunday and this results in less wind, a warmer day inland but a cooling sea breeze along the coast. We’ll see an increase in high clouds later Sunday as low pressure heads for the Great Lakes and its warm front begins to approach our region.

TODAY: Lots of clouds through mid morning Cape Cod / Islands, otherwise mostly sunny. Highs 42-49. N up to 10 MPH shifting to E.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind E under 10 MPH shifting to S.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59 except 45-52 South Coast. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 63-70 except 55-62 South Coast and 48-55 Cape Cod / Islands. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 41-48. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to N.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Clouds break for sun morning. Sun filtered by high clouds afternoon. Highs 53-60 coast, 60-67 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes, then W up to 10 MPH all areas by late-day.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 13-17)

Typical spring pattern finds our region still in the battle zone between a warming southeastern US and a still-cold and partly snow-covered eastern Canada, along with being adjacent to the chilly waters of the Atlantic. Pattern looks generally progressive with a mostly west to east flow but tracks and positions of highs and lows dictate temperatures which can be quite variable. While frequent changes occur, it does not look like a particularly wet pattern and therefore we also continue to monitor drought conditions and brush fire threats on drier, especially breezy days.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 18-22)

Current indications are for a similar overall pattern to continue.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 7-11)

An upper level trough and attendant weak surface low pressure area passing through the region today will bring abundant cloud cover and some precipitation of both the frozen and liquid variety, albeit rather insignificant. High pressure builds in tonight and Wednesday with drier weather and chilly air as low temps fall below freezing through most of the region tonight and stay in the 40s during the day Wednesday. High pressure slides offshore with a steady warming trend Thursday and Friday. A cold front will move through the region Friday night followed by a push of slightly cooler air Saturday.

TODAY: Cloudy morning with episodes of snow and rain with some sleet potentially mixed in as well. Variably cloudy afternoon with scattered showers of snow / graupel / sleet / and rain, ending west to east. Highs 42-49. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 12-16)

Fair, milder April 12 but may start with clouds / drizzle as a warm front passes through the region. Generally up and down temperature pattern but limited unsettled weather / mostly dry early to mid portion of next week with a moisture-starved frontal boundary nearby.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 17-21)

Overall pattern looks similar with up-and-down temperatures and limited unsettled weather chances.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 6-10)

We will start this week on the chilly side of normal as an upper level trough moves across the Northeast from west to east through Tuesday. Today we’ll be in a northwesterly air flow behind the low that brought us a frontal system and some wet weather yesterday, and it will be dry and breezy with a sun / cloud mix. Tonight and Tuesday, a surface disturbance will cross the region under the upper trough, bringing unsettled weather in the form of rain showers that can mix with sleet and / or snow in some locations. Behind this, and as the upper trough begins its exit, high pressure builds in with dry, cool weather Wednesday, before the high slides offshore and allows a warm up with continued fair weather later this week. Current timing of the next front looks slow enough so that it does not have an impact on Friday.

TODAY: Sun / cloud blend with sun dominant morning and clouds dominant afternoon. Highs 46-53. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, some higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers of snow and sleet possible overnight. Lows 28-35. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A good chance of rain showers that can be mixed with sleet and snow at times. Highs 42-49. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 24-31. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 43-50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 53-60 except 46-53 South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 63-70 except 55-62 South Coast and 48-55 Cape Cod / Islands. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 11-15)

Back into a pattern where a frontal boundary will be oscillating back and forth across our region with current timing suggesting the cool side April 11, 13, and 15, the warmer side on the other two days. General pattern looks dry with limited moisture to work with even with a front in the vicinity.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 16-20)

Overall pattern looks similar with up-and-down temperatures and limited unsettled weather chances.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 5-9)

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it today! If you have outdoor plans early today – not the greatest weather awaits as we are still stuck in the wedge of cold and damp air ahead of an advancing warm front with areas of fog and drizzle, isolated to scattered showers, and temps hanging out between the upper 30s and lower 40s. Even when the front goes by, while it does warm up to the upper 40s and 50s (may touch 60 in some locations), we keep lots of clouds and introduce more rain as a cold front approaches from the northwest during the day. If there’s a bit of good news to be found, it’s that any rain we get is beneficial for easing abnormally dry conditions and areas of drought that remain in the region – just not great timing. The rest of the forecast remains pretty much unchanged. In summary, we get a cool, breezy, but dry day behind this system on Monday before an upper low pressure trough and associated surface low pressure area move through on Tuesday with air cold enough that we need to include the chance for some sleet and snow along with the rain showers that occur. The track of the surface low will determine whether or not we see some partial clearing between precipitation bursts (a track a bit further north) or a more solid overcast with more prolonged precipitation (a track a bit further south). I’ll try to pin-point that by the next update. High pressure builds in for midweek with cool and dry weather Wednesday and a warm-up on Thursday as the high slides offshore.

TODAY: Mainly cloudy. Areas of fog and drizzle morning. Isolated to scattered showers first becoming more widespread late morning through afternoon. Highs 48-55 South Coast and NH Seacoast, 55-62 elsewhere, occurring around midday. Wind E under 10 MPH early, shifting to SW increasing to 5-15 MPH, then shifting to NW at similar speeds later in the day.

TONIGHT: Breaking clouds. Lows 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 33-40. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Periods of light rain, potentially mixed with sleet and / or wet snow. Highs 36-43. Wind variable to N 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 26-33. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, shifting to SW late.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65, cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 10-14)

A low pressure area passes to our north with its cold front bringing a slight shower April 10 but mild weather ahead of the front. April 11-12 weekend starts cool and dry, ends warmer and dry. Disturbance may bring a shower about April 13 before fair weather returns at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 15-19)

Overall pattern looks drier with one interruption from a disturbance and shower chance at mid period. Temperatures variable but averaging close to normal.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 4-8)

A cold front crosses the region today, initially bringing a northwesterly to northerly wind flow while the morning is still fairly mild with some sunshine, but as high pressure builds to our north, the wind flow turns northeasterly and in comes a blast of cooler maritime air with low level moisture sending low clouds southwestward across the region as well, ending the day much differently than it started out. With all the drama, one thing that will be missing today is precipitation. However, that will change soon, as our next low pressure area travels through the Great Lakes and into southeastern Canada late tonight through Sunday. This will push the frontal boundary back our way as a warm front tonight and early Sunday, followed quickly by a northwest-to-southeast moving cold front, producing a brief warm-up but also showery weather for Easter Sunday. A gusty breeze, dry and cool weather is expected behind this front for Monday. A low pressure disturbance passes through the region on Tuesday with lots of clouds and some precipitation – generally light rain that can mix with or even turn to sleet and snow in parts of the region. There will not be any notable accumulation of frozen precipitation where it occurs as it will be light and falling during the daytime. High pressure builds in behind this system with dry, cool weather Wednesday.

TODAY: Sun / cloud mix – eventually turning mostly cloudy. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 55-62 elsewhere in the morning, then falling into the 40s from northeast to southwest during the afternoon. Wind SW to variable, shifting to NW initially, then eventually NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Cloudy. Patchy drizzle. Areas of fog. Lows 37-44. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy. Areas of fog and drizzle early. Showers becoming more likely morning and midday, before tapering off northwest to southeast later in the day. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 elsewhere, occurring around midday. Wind E under 10 MPH early, shifting to SW increasing to 5-15 MPH, then shifting to NW at similar speeds later in the day.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Breaking clouds. Lows 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 33-40. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Periods of light rain, potentially mixed with sleet and / or wet snow. Highs 36-43. Wind variable to N 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, shifting to SW late.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 9-13)

High pressure slides to the south with fair and warmer weather April 9. A low pressure area passes to our north with its cold front bringing a slight shower April 10 but mild weather ahead of the front. April 11-12 weekend starts cool and dry, ends warmer and dry. Disturbance may bring wet weather by end of period.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 14-18)

Overall pattern looks drier early to mid period with a shower chance returning later in the period. Temperatures variable but averaging closer to normal.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 3-7)

No big changes from yesterday’s ideas, so this discussion will be more or less a summary of that, advancing one day. Our pattern is unsettled, with frequent temperature changes as a frontal boundary is pulled this way and that way by the weather systems governing the pattern. We became entrenched in the marine-chilled air yesterday and remain there as today starts, but a warm front, causing a few showers and areas of fog and drizzle this morning will pass by and lead to improved weather – breaking clouds and milder air – this afternoon. Looking for lots of clouds, breaks of sun, and temps rising through the 50s to around 60 at Fenway for the Red Sox home opener. Tonight, we stay mild, but a cold front moves through the region as low pressure passes north of our region early Saturday. High pressure building quickly in behind that departing system in eastern Canada will help drive a northeasterly air flow back into our region Saturday with a drastic cool-down after a mild start. I do expect the day to be generally dry with no more than an isolated shower with the front and patchy drizzle later in the day or at night with the increased low level moisture from the ocean. Sunday starts much the way Saturday ended, and another low passing to our north will drag a quick warm front / cold front combo through. This time the warm up will be quite brief and also dampened, literally and figuratively, by fairly widespread shower activity. Once this front clears the region Sunday evening, we’ll see drier but chilly air arrive and persist through Monday, along with a gusty breeze. Tuesday, along comes the next upper low and attendant surface disturbance, along with below normal temperatures, bringing us the chance of a little bit of rain, sleet, and even wet snow, though this does not look like a significant system at this point in time.

TODAY: Cloudy morning including areas of fog and drizzle along with isolated to scattered passing showers, favoring eastern MA and southeastern NH. Clouds break for partial sun afternoon but foggy areas remain South Coast. Highs 48-55 coast, 56-63 inland, occurring mid to late afternoon. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH morning, shifting to SW 5-15 MPH afternoon.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 47-54. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Partial sun in the morning gives way to a cloudy afternoon. Slight chance of a shower. Areas of drizzle especially near the coast later in the day. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 55-62 elsewhere in the morning, then falling into the 40s from northeast to southwest during the afternoon. Wind SW to variable, shifting to N and NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Patchy drizzle. Areas of fog. Lows 37-44. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy. Areas of fog and drizzle early. Showers becoming more likely morning and midday, before tapering off northwest to southeast later in the day. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 elsewhere, occurring around midday. Wind E under 10 MPH early, shifting to SW increasing to 5-15 MPH, then shifting to NW at similar speeds later in the day.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Breaking clouds. Lows 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 33-40. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Periods of light rain, potentially mixed with sleet and / or wet snow. Highs 36-43. Wind variable to N 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 8-12)

Springtime pattern of changeable weather continues. High pressure builds in with fair but cool weather April 8, then slides offshore with a warm-up and continued fair weather April 9. Frontal system brings clouds and a shower chance followed by fair, cooler weather April 10, before a potential weekend warm-up April 11-12.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 13-17)

Up and down temperatures, a couple of unsettled periods of weather during mid month.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 2-6)

Today we find ourselves with chilly and raw weather under a solid overcast as high pressure in eastern Canada, having driven a cold front southwestward by quite a distance, provides us with a flow of maritime polar air. A disturbance passing by this morning brings additional rainfall before that departs and we’re just left with patchy leftover drizzle from midday on. High pressure to our north slips eastward on Friday while low pressure moves through the Great Lakes into east central Canada. This allows that frontal boundary to make the long trek back to the northeast, and while we start the day much like today ends, it does turn warmer from southwest to northeast (modified in some coastal areas of course). Other than maybe an early-morning shower, we can expect rain-free conditions on Friday with eventual breaking clouds. Looks like a “go”, at least in terms of the weather, for the Red Sox home opener Friday afternoon. We’ll see if it’s a “go” for a good performance! The mild air hangs around for Friday night and early Saturday before high pressure follows the departing low in eastern Canada. This drives a frontal boundary back to the south and we chill-down again from northeast to southwest during the day on Saturday. The cycle repeats as we go through Saturday night and Sunday (Easter for those celebrating), but this time the next low’s timing is a little faster through the Great Lakes and into Canada. This does drag the front back through as a warm front at some point Sunday morning to midday, before the cold front quickly follows. This doesn’t leave a lot of time for warming up / clearing out, though some areas can see a bit of sun before showers arrive with the cold front. This front will clear the region with chilly, dry weather moving in for Monday.

TODAY: Overcast. Areas of fog until midday. Periods of rain this morning, can be mixed with sleet in parts of central MA higher elevations and southern NH. Patchy drizzle this afternoon. Temperatures decline to 34-41 then remain steady. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, strongest along the coast.

TONIGHT: Overcast. Areas of fog. Patchy drizzle. Chance of a shower before dawn. Temperatures steady 36-43. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Cloudy morning. Clouds break for partial sun afternoon. Highs 48-55 coast, 56-63 inland, occurring mid to late afternoon. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH morning, shifting to SW 5-15 MPH afternoon.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 47-54. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Partial sun early, then mainly cloudy. Chance of a shower. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 55-62 elsewhere in the morning, then falling into the 40s from northeast to southwest during the afternoon. Wind SW to variable, shifting to N and NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Patchy drizzle. Lows 37-44. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Cloudy with patchy drizzle and fog early, a few breaks of sun possible mid to late morning, then mainly cloudy with showers likely from northwest to southeast midday on. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 elsewhere, occurring around midday. Wind E under 10 MPH early, shifting to SW increasing to 5-15 MPH, then shifting to NW at similar speeds later in the day.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Breaking clouds. Lows 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 7-11)

Springtime pattern of changeable weather. Upper disturbance moves through April 7 with a few rain / sleet / snow showers followed by high pressure and fair weather the next day with temps below normal. Fair, milder April 9. Cold front moves through with shower chance then turning cooler again April 10 before a quick rebound and milder weather again at the very end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 12-16)

Up and down temperatures, a couple of unsettled periods of weather during mid month.

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 1-5)

A temperature roller-coaster and unsettled weather pattern will be ours for the first 5 days of April, through the first weekend of the month (which includes Easter for those who celebrate it this Sunday). Overnight showers have moved offshore leaving some breaks of sun to start the day in eastern areas. Another batch of showers travels into eastern CT and RI, fading while moving through southeastern MA as the morning goes along. The cooler marine air that invaded in the wake of a back-door cold front over much of the region yesterday will get pushed quickly out by a short-lived surge of southwesterly wind ahead of another cold front that trails low pressure moving by to our north during the day today. This will trigger additional scattered showers which will favor areas near and south of I-90 during the second half of the afternoon as we see a wind shift and the start of the next surge of cooling as the front passes by. This front takes up residence, temporarily, to our south tonight through Thursday night. A wave of low pressure moving along it will produce periodic rain later tonight into Thursday morning, especially south of the Route 2 corridor, after which we’ll just be left with a grey sky overcast and below normal temperatures from a solid delivery of maritime polar air with the help of high pressure in eastern Canada. However, this doesn’t last too long either as the frontal boundary lifts back to the north and east on Friday, a day that starts like Thursday ends, but turns brighter and eventually warmer as the boundary moves through from southwest to northeast. I now expect Friday to be generally a rain-free day, which is good news for the Red Sox home opener that afternoon, regardless of any temperature antics occurring. And speaking of that, guess what comes back on Saturday? Yup, the frontal boundary, again, this time as a back-door cold front to switch our wind back to the north and east and bring the cool marine air back. This process may be accompanied by a few showers, but I do expect the majority of Saturday to be rain-free. And you probably have guessed by now that Sunday’s weather, like today’s, will likely feature a surge of warmer air pushing the boundary back yet again to the northeast and returning warmer air yet again – timing to be worked out. Later that day and that evening, expect a more widespread band of showers and possible thunderstorms as low pressure passing to our north drags a cold front through. Now, catch your breath a moment and then check out the detailed forecast…

TODAY: Limited sun / lots of clouds. Showers into mid morning eastern CT to Cape Cod, diminishing. Later-day showers likely, favoring areas from I-90 southward. Highs range from near 50 Cape Cod to 65-72 interior eastern CT through interior MA and southern NH occurring by midday, with a quick cool-down southern NH and northern to east central MA toward the end of the day. Wind variable to SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to N and NE from north to south from midday on.

TONIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Lows 36-43. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain in the morning. Chance of drizzle any time. Highs 42-49. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Temperatures steady 42-49. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 48-55 Cape Cod and immediate South Coast, 55-62 elsewhere but may not occur until later in the day. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH shifting to S or SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a rain shower. Lows 43-50. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs 52-59 in the morning, then lowering temperatures. Wind variable becoming NE 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Patchy drizzle. Lows 37-44. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY: Cloudy start, then a sun / cloud mix before heavier clouds arrive late-day with showers by evening. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 southeastern MA (South Shore), 63-70 elsewhere. Wind calm becoming SW increasing to 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 6-10)

Quieter week next week. Northwest flow, chilly and dry April 6. High pressure moves across the region with fair, cool followed by milder weather April 7-9. Watch for a cool-down via back-door cold front at the end of the period being more likely than continued fair and mild weather, but long way to go before we know this for sure.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 11-15)

Up and down temperatures, a couple of unsettled periods of weather during this time frame heading toward mid month.
