DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 3-7)

Our weather will be governed by upper level low pressure this weekend and into next week as well. Within this unsettled and cool stretch there will be variations due to position of upper low and also surface features. The upper low will drift southwestward initially this weekend from the St. Lawrence Valley to just east of New England, then south to southeast a little further east and southeast of the region early to mid week. While we have some drizzle and very light showers around to start today with lingering low level moisture, we’ll have some drier air work in to limit or put an end to any precipitation as the day goes on. But surface low pressure evolving offshore will make a cyclonic loop, close enough to bring occasional showers into the region, favoring the eastern portion, Sunday and Monday, best chance Sunday afternoon to Monday morning. As the system then starts another cyclonic loop further east, we’ll get into a more northwesterly flow by Tuesday and Wednesday, but still carrying shower chances, especially Tuesday with the aid of a new disturbance moving in via Canada. So the summation is unsettled and cool for quite a while…

TODAY: Cloudy morning with areas of drizzle and a few light showers. Mostly cloudy afternoon with any breaks of sun more likely well inland. Highs 53-60, coolest eastern coastal areas. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a passing shower. Lows 45-52. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy morning. Cloudy afternoon with an increased chance of showers, especially southeastern NH, eastern MA, and RI. Areas of drizzle mainly eastern coastal plain. Highs 53-60, coolest eastern coastal areas. Wind N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Showers likely, especially southeastern NH, eastern MA, and RI. Lows 45-52. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY: Cloudy morning with showers likely, especially eastern areas. Mostly cloudy afternoon with a possible passing shower. Highs 56-63. Wind N 10-20 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers in the evening. Lows 45-52. Wind N-NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely, especially in the afternoon. Highs 58-65. Wind N-NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of shower, especially evening. Lows 47-54. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 60-67. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 8-12)

The same upper low brings another shower threat for June 8 before we get a break and a few dry and milder days June 9-11 before the next trough arrives from the northwest with a renewed shower chance to end the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 13-17)

Another upper low will dominate the weather for at least a portion of this period with additional unsettled weather at times and below normal temperatures.

  2. Thanks TK
    From t shirts and shorts the past two days to having to find the light jacket and sweatshirt this weekend. I noticed a good chunk of the country with the outlook from the CPC yesterday having below normal temperatures in both the 6-10 day and 8-14 day outlooks.

  4. There’s something very pleasing about still having shorts and sandals on while I have a fleece jacket and my trademark baseball cap well I take my brother’s dog out. Yes it’s chilly. Driving back home with the heat on was nice. 🙂

    Some people would say this is how we pay for last week’s very nice stretch of weather.

    That’s one way to think of it.

    Next weekend maybe very very nice.

  5. Good morning (that’s a joke!) and thank you TK.

    MISERABLE today!!! and I mean MISERABLE!
    This weather SUCKS!!!

    Down to 52 here and temp appears to still be falling.

    GIMMIE A BREAK!!!

    I guess this is pay back for the beautiful MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND we just had. 🙂

  6. Yesterday was a perfect beach day on the south coast of Rhode Island. The water temperature was about 62 I was able to stay fully submerged for about fifteen minutes. When I went back to my chair I felt so invigorated. Quite sure now that warmer surface water is long gone with the northeasterly winds.

  7. Good morning and thank you, TK.

    I’ve declared a pajama day. I love pajama days even if I end up not wearing PJs all day. Something comforting about them. I suspect much like your jacket with shorts feeling.

    1. 🙂 Very much so. I only discovered I love this combo in cool weather in the last 12 years or so. Granted I’m not going to hang around outside all day in sandals when it’s 52-55, but for a while I love it, then coming in (or being in the car) to warm up. 🙂

      My son goes to Starbucks every Saturday AM. I usually have him get me an iced chai latte, but this week’s will be a hot one. 🙂

      Woburn High School smartly postponed their outdoor graduation scheduled for yesterday at 6:00 p.m. – the storm developed here at 6:20 p.m. and lasted for a really long time. The reschedule is today, 2:00 p.m., still outside, which I think will be rain-free, but breezy and chilly! We’ll see if they brave it or move it inside. 🙂

  8. The Bright Facts!
    From Blue Hill Observatory in Milton Massachusetts.
    After recording the cloudiest January on record and the cloudiest month since April of 1901 to start off this year, things were vastly different in May of 2023. It was the sunniest May on record (75% of the possible sunshine), the sunniest month overall since 1961, and the 4th sunniest month on record since 1885.

    1. May was rather incredible. Even though I wasn’t here for part of the month, I heard from friends that it was quite sunny while I was away. I lucked out, as I also had a fair amount of sunshine in the Netherlands.

    2. I wonder if we need the occasional “dreary” to remind us how special the alternative is. I’d love the feeling of Christmas every day, but then it would become the norm and the special feeling wouldn’t be there.

      Sorry …just an old lady’s curious thoughts as I sit sipping tea and looking out the window.

  9. Thank you, TK.

    As Boston temporarily becomes St. John’s, Newfoundland, Goose Bay, Labrador, or Aberdeen, Scotland, the heat in my building may very well go on again at some point. Perhaps the misty rain in the forecast this weekend will change to snow flurries.

    2. I’d love to see June snow sometime, but the odds outside of New England’s highest peaks are quite low. You never know though!

  11. Some folks out this way are saying air smells almost toxic. Can it still be from Canadian fires?? It seems as if that dissipated a few days ago

      1. Thank you , Tom.

        Some thought it might be from the church fire in Spencer. But Spencer is NW of here and I think most of our wind is NE?? I know there was a fire in Upton that required assistance about five or six other communities. I never found out whether it was structure or woods. Upton was calling for the water tankers.

  12. I guess it’s going to be back to “hot” DD coffee again for awhile. I had my first “iced” yesterday. Oh well. 😉

    Thanks TK. :mrgreen:

      1. You are thinking of 2015 when the temperature did not leave the 40s in Boston on June 1 and 2.

    2. This is a very “graphic” representation of what being on two different sides of a frontal boundary is.

      Dominated by the warm side with a high pressure ridge. Suddenly all wiped out by a wedge of Maritime polar air which actually spent some time in Greenland before passing through the maritime provinces of Canada on its way here.

      And we are pre-summer solstice so this is still very much #SpringInNewEngland. 🙂

        1. And a bunch of other places, but I’m glad it happens here because I absolutely love it. 🙂

              1. Watching this Woburn High graduation, nobody complained about or event mentioned the weather in the ceremony. They just got out there, and did it. It was awesome. 🙂

              2. From both in and out. Remember Philip, I sit out even in mid winter low temps and with snow. It is actually one of my favorite times 🙂

  14. If the 12z GFS projection has any merit to it, at least the upper low is north of us, giving us some kind of NW or W wind. While still cool and unstable, that’s better outcome than if it parked itself south of us.

    I’ll take 60F with instability afternoon showers over 48F with continuous rain/drizzle anytime.

    1. Well the upper is going to do a couple of cyclonic loops before it exits and is replaced by another one. So it will be moving around, but for part of its tenure, it will provide a broad scale flow from the northwest and even west for a time.

  15. Down to 51 here. Temp is not going up, but rather down.

    It is also 51 at the airport. This is DISGUSTING!!!!!!!@)#*!@()*@()#*()!@*#)(*!@)(#*)(!*@#)(*!()@#*)(!*@#)(!*@()#*!)(@*#()!*@#()*!()@#*()!*@#)(*!)(#@*)(!*@#()*!)(@#*()!*@#()*!()@#*()!*@#)*!@(#*!)(*@#)(!*@()#*!)(*@#()!*@#(

    1. I’m rather enjoying it. But then again, I’m happily weird, or weirdly happy, or just weird. Take your pick. 🙂

      1. Am as well, but in a different way. There is no way on this planet that I could EVER be happy with this STINKEN weather! It totally SUCKS!!!

        We’re going to freeze our asses off at a graduation party this afternoon. It was “supposed” to be outside and frankly, I don’t know what they will do. I guess we’ll all be jammed into the house. Should be loads of fun! NOT!

        1. Woburn’s doing their graduation ceremony today – still set-up outside, though there is an inside alternative option. But we’re toughies in this city so we’ll do just fine if they go for it. 😉

          1. I have no idea what will happen. It is not the graduation, just the party. Leaving soon. Actual Graduation was in beautiful weather last weekend. 🙂

      2. TK I agree with you re the weather but we all know that. I’m just plain weird. And we all know that too.

    2. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

      Just enjoyed 6 sunny, above avg temp days

      Now, probably at least 12 cloudy/mostly cloudy days, below avg temps.

      🙂 🙂 🙂

        1. Actually, June 9-11 look nice. I think I read about that somewhere. Oh yeah, in today’s blog post!

            1. Not really. We just had the sunniest May on record, and we’re in a cool / unsettled pattern as we head through the final days of spring. That’s about it. This is coming off 2 hot days with temps in the 80s to lower 90s in many areas.

  16. Logan is down to 50 and Beverly is down to 48.

    Just maybe the NAM’s forecast of 2PM to 5PM temperatures
    in the upper 40s was NOT so far fetched after all????????>?

      1. It’s in the low 40s on all of PEI and mid 40s in eastern NB and eastern Maine, so, I think the high sun angles solar radiation may hold us at what we are for a few hours, but I’m thinking we head into the upper 40s by early evening.

  17. Thanks, TK…

    Not that I am going, but Middleborough High’s graduation, as of this morning, was still outside.

    If it is outside in the stadium, MHS’s June graduation will be only three degrees (53) warmer than the end of the its Thanksgiving morning football game (50)!

  18. Boston can now boast that it’s the only city to ever lose Game 7’s to NBA and NHL #8 seeds at home in the same season.

    The Celtics were 11-12 in their past 23 home playoff games.

    The Bruins have lost seven Game 7s at home.

    Is the TD Garden CURSED???

    1. I looked quickly and since I do not following basketball please correct if I am wrong.

      The lakers and Celtics are tied at 17 with the most championships.

      I suspect the garden is not cursed….haunted maybe…circling back to TKs spoiled comment…..Boston just likes to think its teams should always win.

  21. Middleborough High’s outdoor graduation ceremony started on-time at 6 pm in the MHS Stadium.

    It’s 48 degrees.

    1. You are very right that it is natural; but sadly due to man made warming, lightning caused wildfires are increasing. I posted a source here a bit ago

  23. We had a 1 year old birthday party here outside today ( had 20x 20 tent with tables & chairs & it was downright just nasty & freezing with heavy drizzle on & off . People were wearing heavy jackets !!!
