DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 14-18)

A progressive pattern with several changes will be our weather pattern for this week, including some nicer weather than we saw the last few days. And we’ll waste no time getting to the nice stuff today as high pressure builds in with fair and milder weather. The next trough of low pressure and attendant surface low will impact our weather tonight and Tuesday. The surface low will take a track to our north as a broad upper low moves across the Northeast. This sends a warm front our way tonight with clouds moving in and a little bit of rainfall. Tuesday, a cold front will move across the region, but we’ll be in the warm sector for several hours during the day, and with colder air aloft associated with upper level low pressure there can be scattered to clustered convective showers which will fall mainly as rain with mild air in place, but cold enough aloft so heavier ones could contain small hail and/or graupel. Once the cold front passes, a colder Canadian air mass arrives, along with wind, and that will be our dominating weather for Wednesday with a sun/cloud mix. High pressure builds closer by Thursday, and while it will be dry and still cool, it will be less windy on that day. Friday, we’ll see an increase in high to mid level clouds ahead of the next low pressure area as it tracks through the Great Lakes and toward southeastern Canada. Its warm front can bring some rain as early as Friday evening, but it looks like we should get through most of Friday rain-free.

TODAY: Cape Cod clouds early morning, otherwise plenty of sunshine, becoming filtered by high clouds from west to east during this afternoon. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to SW by the end of the day.

TONIGHT: Thickening clouds. A period of light rain late evening / overnight. Lows 42-49. Wind SW to S 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Lots of clouds / intervals of sun. Isolated to scattered rain showers, but isolated instances of small hail and/or graupel are possible. Highs 57-64. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with gusts 20-25 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Lots of clouds and an additional rain shower possible early, then clearing. Lows 38-45. Wind shifting to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

WEDNESDAY: A sun/cloud mix. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-30 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusty.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 32-39. Wind variable under 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Increasing clouds. Rain possible evening. Highs 53-60, coolest coast. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 19-23)

The April 19-21 weekend includes the 250th Anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, Easter for those celebrating on April 20, and Patriots Day on April 21, and is an important time period for weather. Current indications are that we’ll be in a “warm sector” of passing low pressure Saturday April 19 with breezy conditions and mild air in place, but have to watch for rain showers as a cold front moves through later in the day. Easter Sunday would be dry but breezy and rather cool behind the front. Monday, some clouds may move in ahead of the next low pressure system, but high pressure should be dominant enough for dry weather for the traditional early-start Red Sox game as well as the Boston Marathon. This set-up would be a cool coast / mild inland temperature profile. Beyond… Rain shower threat April 22 and return to dry and cool April 23.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 24-28)

You may see media posts or hear talk of a “big warmup” or something like that. While the pattern in the eastern US looks “warmer” as we get to the end of April, here in New England it’s a “not so fast” kind of set-up, because there are indications of a lot of high pressure in eastern Canada, and this leaves our region vulnerable to being in a battle zone between Canadian chill and southeastern US warmth, the former of which often wins out, or just being stuck in the battle zone with lots of unsettled weather too. Obvious pattern monitoring to be done…

        1. Agree Tom…they don’t get much worse when it comes to the BLAH factor. I actually almost would have preferred snow!

  10. I am definitely going for the big warmup at the end of the month, because I will be spending 2 days in Orlando, then a 7-day cruise to the Bahamas, Virgin Islands (US and British) and the Dominican Republic.

    1. So you will have your personal warm up while the rest of us suffer, because you know full well we will NOT have a big warm up here. Back door cold fronts will prevail, sure there may be a warmer day here and there, but overall, we’ll be screwed!!!

      ENJOY your warm up!!!!

    2. nice, I am assuming you been to the USVI before but if not. I recomend this small hike through the forest to go to Santa maria Beach, you will see what all those beaches use to look like instead of going to Magens or Cooki beach that are over crowded.

  15. After this particular past weekend, the Governor should end all school and work at 1pm today and tell everyone to go outside and enjoy !!

  20. Thanks TK.

    We returned late last night from Jay Peak in the winter wonderland of northern VT. The scene this weekend was one that looked more like mid January than mid April.

    I snapped a few pictures in the glades Saturday when it snowed most of the day. The base depth in the woods was very deep and the only place we saw any bare spots emerging was right at the immediate base area near the bottoms of the lifts:

    To give you an idea how deep the snow still is on the mountain, I snapped a picture of one of the trail signs that was almost completely submerged:

    And ski patrol hut at the top of the Jet chair had snow still up to the window level:

    I shouldnt be surprised by this given Jay is up to 460″ of snow on the season and melting that much snow doesnt happen overnight.

    Its a mild day there today with some sunshine and temps in the 40s but they are expecting another 3-6″ of snow with another cold front tomorrow night into Wednesday.

    1. What’s crazy is that you drive a couple miles down Rte 242 from the base area and there is little to no snow in the Town of Jay. The mountain itself sticks out like a sore thumb with nothing but the plains of Quebec to the north and Lake Champlain to the west. It’s a magnet for upslope snow.

  24. I am currently watching the Mets play The Twins in Minneapolis. That is the next batch of cold air coming at us and it does not look pleasant.

  25. Going out on the limb here (not much of one) and saying under 32 in eastern mass is done. Yes, we might get back door fronts over the next few weeks but freezing temps appear to be gone.

    2. Given the average dates of the last freeze & frost, I’m going to say there is a 100% chance you are incorrect.
