DAYS 1-5 (MAY 1-5)
May you have a happy May, which starts today! The weather might not make too many people happy though, as it looks rather grey. That said, we will see a little bit of improvement while a wave of low pressure to our southeast moves away and a little drier air moves in from the north today. But the clouds in place may be stubborn to break, in some areas anyway. While we sit on the cool side of a frontal boundary, more clouds and a shower chance will be with us as a disturbance moves through Thursday. Some partial clearing can occur as high pressure in Atlantic Canada noses its way southwestward into our region during Friday and Saturday. Showers chances are absent from my forecast those two days as triggers and disturbances stay away. Sunday, however, the arrival of a frontal system from the west renews that chance, as the high pressure area gives way.
TODAY: Cloudy with lingering light rain/drizzle possible early, then clouds dominate but may break at times. Highs 53-60, warmest inland. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind E under 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. A few showers possible. Highs 52-59, coolest coast. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A possible shower in the evening. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to variable up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Highs 53-60 coast, 60-67 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind E-SE under 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 54-61 coast, 61-68 inland. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SE-S up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 58-65. Wind S-SW 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (MAY 6-10)
While there will be rain-free / fair weather times, this period is vulnerable to unsettled weather with a frontal boundary in the region and a couple/few disturbances to traverse the region. Temperatures fairly close to normal.
DAYS 11-15 (MAY 11-15)
Similar pattern continues heading into mid May. No major storminess, but a couple disturbances to threaten unsettled weather and varying the temperature pattern, also cooling influences from the Atlantic in play.
