DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 30-MAY 4)
High pressure and a cooler air mass is the story for southern New England today, though advancing warm air aloft and some mid level instability may support some showers into western areas this afternoon. Warm front comes across southern New England Monday, followed by a cold front Monday night and early Tuesday, and high pressure Wednesday. The next low pressure area approaches Thursday. The resultant weather expected is broken down in the next several lines.
TODAY: Partly sunny. A few showers possible mainly CT and central MA by mid afternoon. Highs 52-57 coast, 57-62 interior. Wind N 5-15 MPH shifting to E.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Chance of light rain mainly after midnight. Lows 44-51. Wind light E.
MONDAY: Mainly cloudy. Chance of light rain. Highs 55-60 coast, 60-65 interior. Wind light SE shifting to S 10-20 MPH late.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Lows 50-55. Wind S 10-20 MPH shifting to W by dawn.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Chance of showers early. Highs 65-70 South Coast, 70-75 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs from the upper 50s to middle 60s, coolest East Coast.
THURSDAY: Increasing clouds. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 5-9)
Watching for a possible significant rain event somewhere early in the period and a persistent upper low that would keep the weather unsettled through the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 10-14)
Somewhat milder/drier weather expected. Continued low confidence forecast.

10:52AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 29-MAY 3)
As April turns to May, we have a bit of a tricky forecast situation coming. But first, a weekend that will be fairly decent, though will exhibit 2 distinctive feels. Today, a taste of summer. A cold front will come through later and may trigger a shower near the South Coast but otherwise its main impact will be to bring much cooler weather for Sunday. This front will then attempt to come back north as a warm front Monday, but probably won’t fully get through here until Tuesday. So Monday’s forecast is a little tricky. There should be a lot of clouds and some wet weather, and for now I will lean to the cooler side with the front taking its time. The warmer weather should be back by Tuesday, only to be pushed out once again Wednesday as a slightly cooler airmass comes down from Canada.
TODAY: Partly sunny. An isolated shower possible South Coast. Highs 65-73 South Coast, 74-83 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 52-57 coast, 57-62 interior. Wind N 5-15 MPH shifting to E.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Chance of light rain after midnight. Lows 44-51. Wind light E.
MONDAY: Mainly cloudy. Chance of light rain. Highs 52-57 coast, 57-62 interior. Wind light SE.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to middle 70s, coolest South Coast.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs from the upper 50s to middle 60s, coolest East Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 4-8)
Watching for a possible significant rain event somewhere early to mid period and a persistent upper low that would keep the weather unsettled through the period. Much fine-tuning to come.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 9-13)
Exit of upper low should be folloed by somewhat milder and drier weather, but low confidence forecast at this time.

7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 28-MAY 2)
Many changes, typical of spring, as we get a warm front through today, follow it with a cold front Saturday, and likely repeat the process Monday and Tuesday. The details as always become a little harder to pin down with time so it will be important to follow updates.
TODAY: Cloudy morning with a showers and a few downpours around including the risk of thunder. Sun appears this afternoon. Highs 58-65 South Coast, 66-77 elsewhere. Wind light S this morning, SW to W 10-20 MPH this afternoon.

7:44AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 27-MAY 1)
Quick and easy. Low pressure spins down and dissipates over the region today. A warm front passes through on Friday, followed by a cold front later Saturday. Between the 2 fronts comes a preview of summer. After the cold front passes, cooler high pressure builds across eastern Canada and noses into New England. But Monday, a warm front is again trying to push through the region, returning clouds and unsettled weather.

Active pattern brings quick changes but no major storms.

7:36AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 26-30)
The final 5 days of April will present a few different kinds of weather generally typical for this time of year, first the continued damp/cool variety today as low pressure continues to coming up the East Coast, weakening, then the clouds-hanging-on variety tomorrow as the nearly dissipated low is slow to depart. After that the warmer southwesterly flow takes over but clouds will still be dominant Friday as a trough moves through from the west and possibly kicks off a few showers. We do get a summer preview again on Saturday with more sun but still a risk of a shower or thunderstorm ahead of a stronger cold front which will open the door to high pressure from Canada, but centered far enough east that the wind will come in from the north to northeast Sunday with much cooler but dry weather.

High pressure brings fair weather today into Monday. Low pressure drifts slowly up the East Coast late Monday through Wednesday, cut-off from the main flow and slowly weakening with time, bringing unsettled weather along with it. The departure of these systems can be hard to time, but currently expecting it to do so during Thursday as a very weak system, bring replaced by a warmer southwesterly fair flow.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 2-6)
Pattern looks mild overall, but with more opportunities for episodes of wet weather.

7:43AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 21-25)

Cooling down, a few episodes of showers or rain but no major storms expected.

7:35AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 20-24)
No significant changes. Clouds will be dominant overall, wet weather will be focused mainly Friday but will watch again later in the period depending on how close another low pressure area to the south is. Not convinced yet that it stays far enough south for a complete miss.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 48-55 coast, 55-62 interior. Wind W up to 10 MPH shifting to NE.

Overall mainly dry but may see ocean moisture fairly dominant. Temperatures near to above normal early period may then trend cooler.

3:11AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 19-23)
High pressure centered over the Canadian Maritime Provinces noses southward toward New England and continues to send an Atlantic air flow into the region today. Low pressure will move into the St. Lawrence Valley tonight into Thursday and send a front across southern New England which will then settle just to the south and provide an avenue for another wave of low pressure to come along on Friday. The front will never get that far away and a fairly cool north to northeast air flow is expected by the weekend as another high pressure area builds across eastern Canada. This type of weather pattern usually produces plenty of cloudiness, limited sun, and occasional wet weather in southern New England.
TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Highs 45-52 eastern areas, 52-60 western areas. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A few periods of light rain west to east. Lows 43-50. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs 48-55 coast, 55-62 interior. Wind variable to N 5-10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Lows 38-48. Highs 48-60, coolest coast.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Lows 38-48. Highs 48-60, coolest coast.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 24-28)
Watching low pressure area to the south which may bring additional wet weather early in the period then a drier trend should follow. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 29-MAY 3)
Overall mainly dry but may see ocean moisture fairly dominant. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 18-22)
High pressure to the north of New England sends a northeasterly flow into southern New England today, which then shifts more southeasterly by Wednesday. Low pressure approaches from the west later Wednesday into Thursday but weakens during its passage over the region. A second, slightly stronger low comes along with its center probably passing just to the south of the region Friday and lingering offshore into Saturday. The trend is for cooler and eventually more unsettled weather with this pattern.
TODAY: Sun to start, then clouds moving in from the ocean (northeast to southwest) more solidly in the NH Seacoast and eastern MA coastal areas and less so further south and west. Highs 48-55 but may drop to the lower 40s eastern coastal areas later in the day. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy eastern areas, partly cloudy western areas. Lows 38-45. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Highs 45-52 eastern areas, 52-60 western areas. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 43-50. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mainly cloudy. Chance of rain/drizzle. Highs 48-55. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain/drizzle. Lows 40-50. Highs 45-55.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows 38-48. Highs 48-58.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 23-27)
A break with some sun possible April 23. Rain risk returns April 24. Showers may linger at times April 25-27. Temperatures variable, likely coolest with respect to normal early in the period and somewhat milder later.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 28-MAY 2)
A drier trend with temperatures near to below normal.

9:31AM

Happy Patriots Day!

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 17-21)
A fabulous weather day, maybe a little warm for some runners of the Boston Marathon, but about as nice as one can expect for being a spectator of the great race, or being at Fenway for a Red Sox game, which hopefully they are able to win today. There are no weather issues for traffic around Boston but these factors, a work day for many, and a Bruins playoff game this evening will all combine to make it a crazy day getting around the city. At least the weather is not going to hamper that. Bringing us the nice weather is a high pressure area centered over eastern Canada, but this high that is our friend today may become a little less friendly especially for coastal areas by Tuesday as it moves in such a way to change the northwest wind to a northeast wind and this may bring in low clouds and possible drizzle. Additional moisture will be added through Wednesday as winds shift more to the east then southeast, and then we’ll add low pressure into the mix as a couple areas move out south of New England during Thursday and Friday adding wet weather at times under a more solid overcast.
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 66-73. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 46-53. Wind N 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny except mostly cloudy eastern coastal areas with possible drizzle. Highs 48-60, mildest interior areas. Wind NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Late-day or nighttime rain possible. Lows 40-48. Highs 50-58.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and drizzle. Lows 40-48. Highs 45-53.
FRIDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and drizzle. Lows 40-48. Highs 45-53.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 22-26)
Lingering showers/drizzle April 22. More rain later April 24 and showers at times April 25-26. Temperatures variable, probably starting out below normal then ending somewhat warmer.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 27-MAY 1)
Expecting a drying trend. Temperatures near to above normal.

8:32AM

Happy Easter to everybody celebrating today!

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 16-20)
Atypical? Nah. Today is quite representative of the warmer side of what we can see here at this time of year, as recently we saw some of the colder side, and within a few days we’ll be reminded of that chill once again. First we have a summerlike southwest wind today providing the very warm conditions, but a cold front, which may produce a shower or thunderstorm in a few locations this evening, will put an end to the top-end warm weather and knock it back to a “very mild” place for Monday, which may still be a bit warm for marathon runners, though they will enjoy a brisk tail (and slight cross) wind along the Boston Marathon route and will not be greeted by a chilling ocean wind this year. That wind will wait until Tuesday when high pressure orients itself in such a way to turn the wind northeast, and you’ll know it, especially near the coast. This high should hold enough and slip far enough southeast to turn wind more southeasterly to southerly by Wednesday but low pressure from the west will bring unsettled weather by later Wednesday and Thursday.
TODAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 60-68 South Coast / Cape Cod, 68-75 far southeastern MA, 76-85 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, gusting 25-35 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms early. Lows 52-60. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 66-73. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 46-53. Wind N 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny except mostly cloudy eastern coastal areas. Highs 48-55, mildest interior areas. Wind NE 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Late-day or nighttime rain possible. Lows 40-48. Highs 50-58.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and drizzle. Lows 40-48. Highs 45-53.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 21-25)
This looks like a period of unsettled weather with temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 26-30)
This should be a period of drying weather with temperatures near to above normal.
