Low pressure will spin just off the coast for the first few days of the week, keeping it cool and at times unsettled in eastern New England. By Thursday, this low should move far enough east and a ridge of high pressure should move overhead to bring brighter, warmer weather for a day, before a new high pressure area to the north sends a cold front southward across the area with a late-week cooling trend.

Showers and thunderstorms have been around since early afternoon, and though not everybody has been hit significantly, some areas did see hail and locally gusty winds with some of the storms today. Activity is beginning to wind down now, but there are still some scattered showers and storms around this evening as a disturbance slowly wheels its way across New England from west to east. This disturbance will help ignite an ocean storm just offshore during the remainder of the weekend, which will then hang around for the first few days of the upcoming week.  Basically, this means we won’t see much sunshine around here (though there may be a little tomorrow morning) into the middle of next week. Some periods of wet weather are also possible during this stretch of mostly cloudy weather. Temperatures will also be running below normal as the predominant wind direction will be north to northeast.

A slow-moving cold front is touching off showers and a few thunderstorms at this time, and this will continue for a few more hours (into the evening). A pool of cold air aloft will then cross the region Thursday, keeping clouds dominant and providing a risk of more showers. This upper level cold pool will be slow to exit late this week and a couple other disturbances will insure we don’t see complete clearing Friday or Saturday.
