Sunday April 28 2024 Forecast (7:55AM)

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 28 – MAY 2)

A warm front went by overnight with showers, and we’re in the warm sector now, but with a northwest flow aloft. A couple disturbances have to go by our area. This brings a couple opportunities for passing showers, the smaller chance being around midday today, the greater chance toward evening when a few of those showers may end up on the heavier side. Not everybody will see them however, and some locations stay rain-free all day. Tomorrow’s shower chance looks limited to inland pop up afternoon ones while a back-door cold front slips into the region from the northeast. Initially a good warm up will be thwarted, especially in southern NH and eastern coastal MA to Cape Cod, by the front’s advance. Enough Canadian high pressure should put the entire region on the cool side of that boundary by Tuesday which also will be an unsettled day as a disturbance moves in from the west. The low center of this system will actually pass south of us by early Wednesday and we never really get back into the warm air. Improvement looks likely Wednesday afternoon though as the system departs, but it will be a cool day with an easterly air flow. Thursday, however, things turn around, figuratively and literally, as high pressure sinks to the south and a west to southwest wind brings a nice warm-up, except to South Coast locations which can’t warm up as much.

TODAY: Variably cloudy. Passing showers possible around midday and again late afternoon. Highs 63-70 but 55-62 South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Passing rain showers possible. Lows 48-55. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated afternoon showers possible well inland. Highs 65-72 except 58-65 Boston area northward occurring by midday, with potentially falling temperatures midday on, especially Boston area north. Wind variable up to 10 MPH, but may turn NE 5-15 MPH in southern NH and eastern MA.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 43-50. Wind NE-E 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Episodic rain. Highs 50-57, coolest coast. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Areas of drizzle/fog. Lows 44-51. Wind SE-E 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Cloudy with lingering light rain/drizzle possible early, then breaking clouds. Highs 53-60, warmest inland. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clearing, but patchy ground fog. Lows 45-52. Wind calm.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65 South Coast, 66-73 elsewhere. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 3-7)

Leaning toward mild weather May 3-4 with generally fair conditions until later May 4 when a frontal boundary will go through with a shower threat. Fair, cooler mid period before unsettled weather can return late period.

DAYS 11-15 (MAY 8-12)

No big changes in the general outlook heading toward the middle of May. Generally dry pattern with a couple minor systems to threaten brief unsettled weather. Overall northwest to north flow should result in temperatures averaging slightly below normal.

  3. Good morning and thank you TK.

    So much for the string of 70s forecast by some Mets (NOT TK) a few days ago. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Amazing that they fall for some of the medium range happy horse shit And totally neglect to take into account COOL/COLD air in Eastern Canada and the usual Spring time Back Door Cold Fronts. Shame on them!!!

    Here, it was 67 yesterday with a low this morning of 45.
    Currently sitting at 52.

    Ocean temperature is: 45 (Boston Buoy)

    Ahh…Spring in New England.

  4. On a totally different subject…

    Anyone have Comcast Internet Phone (Voice over IP) with Comcast voice mail, but also a physical answering machine as well. We do and all of sudden our answering machine would no longer answer the call and record a message.

    The answer lies in how many rings each system is set for.

    Although no one will admit it, I believe Comcast had some sort of recent upgrade where all subscriber’s voice mail rings were set to 4. That means if the physical answering machine rings
    was set to 5, it would never pick up the call. If set to 4, it might be intermittent with it answering sometimes and sometimes not. I proved this when I set my physical answering machine rings to 3 and VIOLA! it started working again. I had to call Comcast customer service and have them set their voice mail rings to 6. Once that was done, I reset my physical answering machine rings to 5.

    All is in working order now.

    Sorry for the long aside, but I throw this out there Just in case
    someone here might be experiencing a similar problem.

    🙂

    1. I have fios. I had comcast and was not happy with it. My landline number is the one mac snd I had from the start of our marriage so I can’t bring myself to get rid of it. I just have all calls to it forward to my cell. I was getting tons of junk calls in the landline and it’s easier to block numbers with my cell.

      1. We were able to use our old Verizon landline with Comcast with no issues, until this happened. Oh well. 🙂

    2. Absolutely. No disrespect whatsoever to Ullmark, but in the playoffs you keep rolling with the guy who’s been playing lights out (if you’re lucky enough to have one, which we are). Ully is still a very capable backup in this role should we need him! I’m guessing he gets the game plan and in the spirit of team he’ll go along with it, even though I’m sure he’d love to be starting. 🙂

  11. Potent area of low pressure currently traversing the North Sea with a strong westerly and gale-force wind at times. Wind gusts at the coast of the Netherlands over 65 mph. Nothing unusual, but it hasn’t been a tranquil spring there. Long-range looks a bit unsettled, too, and on the cool side. It’s been cooler than normal for about 5 weeks over there. Early to mid May could get even cooler. Forecasters there generally don’t formally do long-range forecasts beyond 10 days. But I’m hearing from several that after a relatively warm start in June it could (emphasis on could) turn out to be a much cooler than normal summer across Northwestern Europe. This occurred last year, too, by the way. And I can recall quite a few of these front-loaded summers when I lived there: A few relatively warm weeks in June followed by cooler and (daily) unsettled conditions in July and August.

    1. My friend in Scotland says that it feels like it never really warmed up there since winter – in a relative sense of course.

      1. I’m learning that Scotland has trouble warming up in general. My son’s wife gifted him (them) a trip for his 40th. He’s been researching best time to go. His cousin (Mac’s twins youngest) spent a couple of years there for college

  12. Out here in North Hampton, MA, oh, 10-15 miles north-northwest of Springfield watching a women’s college field hockey jamboree. They play at 11, 1 and 3pm and then that determines if they play at 4 or 5.

    Mostly sunny, definitely over 60F. It’s very spring like !!

    1. Do you have someone competing? Northampton is a fun place. Oldest participated in many horse shows there. Lots of yummy restaurants. Enjoy

  13. Timing on the front tomorrow is early. In some areas the high temps I have may not be realized. Will monitor.

  14. Thanks, TK!

    Yesterday was certainly great day for Boston sports fans: dominating wins for the Sox, Celtics and Bruins! The Pride get the game-winning with three seconds left; Messi scores two goals in front of a soccer, record-breaking crowd at Gillette; The Patriots had an interesting draft. We’ll have to wait to see if the picks pan out.

  15. I was reading in the Barcelona on-line news “El Periodico” that the Catalonia plant that manufactures the famous Cava champagne is laying off hundreds of workers because of the years-long drought that is affecting grape production.

  16. 64 here, but NOT going up as fast as I would have expected.
    Must be indirect sea breeze influence from the South.

    Still a beautiful day here!!!

  17. GOOD GRIEF!!!!! The NAM keeps it in the upper 40s MOST OF THE DAY tomorrow ANYWHERE NEAR THE COAST!! All the way to about 495 and then beyond that a little later in the day.

    BRUTAL!(P@*#*!_*@#!*@#*(!@(_!(@#)(!_@#

    Typical PISS-POOR Spring weather around here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Did I ever say how much I DETEST SPRING here?
    Weather UNFIT for humans!!!

    1. True, but you must admit we’ve been blessed with 2 really nice weekend days.

      I got my run in just now. It turned out to be warmer than I thought it would be, but certainly not uncomfortably so.

      Yesterday I walked from Jamaica Pond through some of the neighborhoods of Boston to my place. It was a splendid urban walk of around 3.5 miles. There are very few cities in the world that rival Boston for walking. London is one of them, but Central London is way too crowded to have a comfortable stroll. Similarly, Paris and Amsterdam are too bustling.

      1. Yes, I would agree that yesterday and today were 10s for certain!! But we PAID for them for several days ahead and now a few days after as well. NOTHING is for free around here.

        We used to walk around Jamaica Pond twice each day. Now i am lucky if I walk down to the store. 🙂

        Which side did you walk on? The J-Way side or the Brookline side. The Brookline side is prettier imho. 🙂

    1. Beautiful bird. Not sure I have ever seen one around here. Perhaps once or twice, but I can’t be sure. 🙂

    2. Stunning. Thank you

      I just put my oranges out. It’s a bit early for them but not enough that I figured I’d get feeder ready.

    1. He just needs a millisecond of being left unmarked to deliver magic. His golazo last week at Kansas City was brilliant. He and his Barcelona mates, Suarez and Busquets, seem to know exactly where each one is on the field without looking. Those three lift the play of the other Inter Miami players.

  22. JPD, I walked on the J-Way side with my son. He has a place on Sheridan Street in JP. I’ve walked around the pond before with him.

  26. Shower batch #2 for today is moving in, and as was expected it is more widespread than the first one with the concentration further south this time.

  27. CF, you described Messi well. Besides being soccer’s GOAT he’s the most versatile player at his position that I’ve ever seen. He corners, passes, shoots and dribbles well. Great instincts and insight, too. And what I love about soccer is that a small guy like him can be the GOAT. A lot of soccer players are normal-sized. I can relate to them just from a size perspective. I’m 5’8″ and weigh 165. In basketball if I could play (I can’t) I’d be a Nate (Tiny) Archibald (some of you may remember him). In football, I’d get killed on the first play even if I had a skill-set. Hockey players are not enormous but they’re certainly bigger than I am. Almost all baseball players are considerably taller than I am and weigh a lot more.

    1. My equipment read 60 at 5:53 AM
      and that was it. Now 65, but the front is through. I suspect temp to start dropping soon, especially when the wind shifts to NE.
