Thursday Forecast

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 24-28)
High pressure will control the weather through Friday, with southeastern New England on the cooler side with an easterly fair flow today, then on the much warmer side with a westerly air flow Friday. Then we will see some more changes over the Memorial Day Weekend with a summery Saturday followed by a much cooler Sunday and Monday after a back-door cold front passes. The wild card at the moment is how much sun, if any, do we see on Sunday and Monday, pending the amount of low cloudiness and any dry air that migrates down from eastern Canada. For now, keeping the forecast as it was on yesterday’s post.
TODAY: Mostly sunny but partly sunny for a while Cape Cod and MA South Shore. Highs 58-65 coast, coolest Cape Cod, 66-72 interior. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Patchy fog interior low elevations. Lows 49-56. Wind calm.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 75-82 immediate South Coast and Cape Cod, 83-90 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 59-65. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 75-82 South Coast, 83-90 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clouding over north to south. A sharp temperature drop sometime in the evening. Lows by morning 54-60. Wind shifting to N then NE 5-15 MPH but higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Morning showers possible south of Boston. Possible coastal drizzle. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s, coolest coast.
MONDAY – MEMORIAL DAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 29-JUNE 2)
Fair weather returns May 29 as high pressure moves over the region. A cold front moves through sometime in the May 30-31 time frame with possible passing showers. Fair and warm June 1 but possible showers by June 2 as another front arrives around that time.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 3-7)
The trend will be for cooler and somewhat unsettled weather to return for this period as upper level low pressure takes over the pattern for a while. This does not look like a major wet spell or major cool spell, nor is it expected to become a long-term pattern either.

  4. Re-post from earlier this morning:

    Wife and I were out last evening and while returning home on Rt 1 in Dedham
    witnessed one of the most awesome cloud to ground lightning bolts I have ever
    seen. Large, wide bolt with spectacular splinter bolts associated with it.
    Truly amazing sight!!

    Wish I had a photo of that one.

  7. TK, your Friday and Saturday forecasts look very much alike, but isn’t there an increased chance for humidity on Saturday.

  8. TK – I notice that you don’t have any storms for late Saturday or night. Is that backdoor coming through dry?

    Logan blows chunks!!!!

    69 and BEAUTIFUL at my house in JP!!

  11. Overachieving temps today. Dry air and the high Sun angle does it every time. What a month!

        1. But unfortunately Logan has been designated to represent us climotologically. 😉

    1. I know someone who has been alluding go that. I won’t give away his name but his initials are T K. 😉

  14. Sorry folks. Busy day. Wasn’t home until 3ish and then spent 3 hours mowing a lawn that I just mowed 10 days ago and it was the most grass I’ve ever removed from my lawn after such a short time.

    Longshot… More humid Saturday, yes.

    Philip… I expect thunderstorms with the cold front in northern New England, a break around here, and then a few that may fire late in the evening in southwestern New England.

  15. Thanks TK !

    Very busy day !

    Since we’re getting a very warm Friday and Saturday, I’m looking forward to the back door cold front ….. not that I’ll enjoy 58F and foggy Sunday, but it is one of my most favorite weather occurrences, especially experiencing the major temp drop.

  16. I really wish for the warm weather to be Saturday and monday instead of friday and saturday.

    1. I’d like nice weather for the memorials….especially since many in the parades are older veterans. Although, they would be the first to tell you that weather never stopped them

      1. oh I want it as hot as possible on memorial day, group of us are going to the beach to celebrate graduation , for graduation we want it cool as we are in the TD garden but its going to probably be warm like last years graduation.

        1. Sounds fun. Remember to celebrate the reason for the day. It seems to me that we tend to forget.

            1. My father had his B.U. graduation at the old garden in 1958. Two years before I was born.
