DAYS 1-5 (MAY 2-6)

Upper level low pressure continues to plague the region with unsettled weather through midweek, lingering into late week, but exiting in time for the weekend. The center of broad upper level low pressure will gradually wheel its way east southeast. A decent spoke of energy rotating around it today, along with weaker surface low pressure passing to our west, will produce showery weather at times, along with a slight thunderstorm chance, but it will be on the mild side, except the South Coast where a southerly air flow is directly onshore. As the upper low continues east southeast, a new surface low will form south of New England later Wednesday and Thursday, close enough for a change of wind direction from south to east, then east to north during the course of these 2 days, with additional shower episodes. Once we get to Friday, we’ll be in a northerly surface flow with both surface and upper lows to our east, but still with enough instability around to ignite a few more showers during the day. By Saturday, we’re dry with just some lingering diurnal cloud development, milder inland and still cool near the coast, especially eastern coastal areas. But it does look like a much nicer regime once we reach the weekend – good timing.

TODAY: Limited sun, dominant clouds. Occasional showers. Slight chance of a thunderstorm. Heavier showers may contain graupel or hail. Highs 55-60 South Coast, 61-66 elsewhere. Wind S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers likely during the evening. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 43-50. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny early, then mostly cloudy. Scattered to numerous showers, possibly mixed with graupel and/or small hail. Areas of drizzle especially in eastern coastal areas later in the day. Highs 53-60. Wind S up to 10 MPH shifting to E.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and drizzle. Lows 43-50. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and drizzle. Highs 46-53. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts especially in eastern coastal areas.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A passing shower possible. Lows 40-47. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 51-58. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 41-48. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 60-67, coolest eastern coastal areas. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 7-11)

High pressure brings dry and milder weather early to mid portion of this period, then an approaching trough and frontal system from the west brings back the chance of unsettled weather later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 12-16)

A little different outlook than yesterday – slower pattern evolution – with the potential for lingering unsettled weather during the first part of the period before another dry, mild interlude.

    1. Wouldn’t surprise me to get a rumble or 2 or 3 out of that, or any of these as they briefly intensify.

  3. Thanks TK.

    “Mr. Green” will not be making an appearance here this morning after last night’s Celtics performance. Hopefully he will return here on Thursday morning.

    Too bad there isn’t a “sad” mr. green emoji.

  4. It’s raining here already. When I arrived at work, it was still partly sunny. Got in just in time.

  7. Спасибо, ТК. [Russian – not an official EU language, but I regard the Western part of Russia as part of Europe]

  9. Thank you, TK!

    Granddaughter will be lucky to get her riding lesson in between showers. There is an indoor where her mom teaches. No indoor where granddaughter rides. Interestingly, she missed very few lessons last winter due to weather or frozen ground

    1. On that last note, I recently saw an ad for WBZ weather. Each of the meteorologists was telling viewers what they liked about spring. It was nicely done. But, when one of the mets said that “finally the kids can go to the playgrounds again after a long winter” (I’m paraphrasing), I thought, no, that was not the case this past winter. In fact, I live next to several large playgrounds, and they were `open for business,’ if you will, all winter long. Sure, there were a couple of days in which they weren’t used. But for the most part the kids were very active in the playground. I’d say just as active in January (fairly similar temps) as they are now!

      1. Love it. A playground has a whole lot of new fun in winter, especially if there is snow in the slide.

    1. Wow. I sent your post yesterday of the Pemi to a friend from NH. Her granddaughter attends Plymouth state.

  11. There is a wall of towering clouds due south from here. They are fascinating to watch as they move closer with that system.

  12. Tomorrow is looking like a fantastic day. Sunshine, maybe a shower, quite windy, upper 70s for a high. Can’t wait.

    Did I mention that I will be in Bermuda?

    1. Bermuda,

      One of my most favorite places in the World. My wife and I have visited Bermuda 5 times.

      Have a wonderful time!

      1. My 2nd time. We get into port at the crack of dawn tomorrow and don’t leave until 3pm Friday, getting back to NYC early Sunday morning.

        We’re on Norwegian’s brand new ship – Prima. It’s fantastic.

        1. Awesome. Are you docking in Hamilton?
          St. Georges? or the Royal Naval Dockyard.

          I have visited them all. My fav is Hamilton.

          ENJOY!!!

          1. Royal Dockyard. That’s where all Norwegian ships dock. We went to St. George’s and Hamilton last time, and will again this time. Beach day tomorrow, probably Horseshoe Beach.

            1. Horseshoe beach is wonderful! Loved that place.
              You’ll have a great time!

              Water temp “should” be around 70 or so, perhaps higher. I personally took the water temp on a trip in late March and it was 68. 🙂

    2. Looks like I will miss the main action as it appears it will slip just
      to our West. However, it looks like I’ll catch some moving up from South of us.

  14. Continued cool weather in the LA area. It’s 52F right now, which is quite cool for early May in that region. They’ve also had more rain showers than usual. So not just during the deluge a few months ago, but also recently.

  18. Just some occasional light showers from time to time here. Nothing intense in the least so far.
