Wednesday Forecast

DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 10-14)
Many changes, typical of April, on tap for this 5-day period. Today we have low pressure departing to the east and high pressure approaching from the west, along with a pool of chilly air above. This results in a slightly unsettled (few showers around early) but mainly dry day with a cloud/sun mix, a breeze, and a cool breeze, but without the raw feel of yesterday as the wind will be from the land rather than the cold/damp ocean. High pressure crests over the region Thursday, a nice day with light wind but that means seas breezes likely develop, so the coast will be coolest. There will be some high cloudiness streaming in from the west which indicates warming air above us. This warmer southerly flow will have overtaken the entire region by Friday when it will be fairly mild in most areas, except the typical South Coast cool spots with this air flow. A cold front will bring a round of showers through the region Friday night, which may linger over southeastern MA and RI into Saturday morning as the front is a little slow to push offshore, running out of gas. The day itself will end up quite mild as that old front will be washing out, the air mass behind it having been modified. A second cold front will pass by later in the day or evening with a push of cooler air behind that, but that front will come through with no precipitation. When we get to Sunday, high pressure will be in control to start, but the front that went by will not be far away and will start to push back to the north, with cloudiness increasing and the threat for rain eventually reappearing, with timing at this point for wet weather looking as if it may hold off until late day or nighttime on Sunday.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of rain showers eastern MA to RI early to mid morning. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 52-59, coolest coast. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45 evening then rising temperatures overnight. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 48-55 South Coast, 56-63 elsewhere. Wind S to SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely arrive west to east. Lows 42-49. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to W late.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy early with lingering rain showers southeastern MA and RI, then partly to mostly sunny with most clouds lingering Cape Cod and Islands. Highs 52-59 Cape Cod and Islands, 60-67 southeastern MA and southern RI to southeastern CT, 67-74 elsewhere. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Mostly clear overnight. Lows 45-52. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Increasing clouds. Rain possible end of day or nighttime. Highs 55-62, cooler some coastal areas. Wind light variable with sea breezes.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 15-19)
Monday April 15, Patriots Day, “Marathon Monday”, and a scheduled late morning start for the Red Sox .. and for the second year in a row it looks wet. But the degree and timing of wet weather remains in question pending the speed, track, and orientation of low pressure, so much ironing out of the details is to come. Progressive pattern expected to continue and result in dry weather April 16-17 and a rain shower risk April 18 based on current timing, with dry weather returning at the end of the period. Temperatures which start out on the cooler side of normal should then trend somewhat milder.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 20-24)
A complex pattern with a mix of blocking (higher latitudes) and progression (lower latitudes) results in more changing weather here. Currently liking a mild and dry trend to start followed by a cooler and wetter finish to the period.

  4. Thank you, TK…

    Getting dark here in the ‘Boro.
    A quick peak at the radar sees a shower, sheet and even some snow showers.

      1. It’s a typo when typing too fast! 🙂
        The brain (well, what’s left of it) thinks three lines ahead of what I am typing most of the time!! 🙂

        1. Well I can relate to that. I suffer from the same affliction.
          🙂
          You know I was just messing around. I knew exactly
          what happened. 🙂

        2. I am not positive, but I think my brain is three lines behind my fingers when I type. If we combined, we’d be perfect!

  5. Good morning and thank you TK.
    Developing an “attitude” toward the Sox. SALE SUCKED yesterday. I mean SUCKED!

    1. Team lacks focus. Passed balls, errors, poor base-running, no command by any of the starters. Not good. It would be one thing if the Sox were just 3-9. Well, they’re very lucky to be 3-9. I can count the number innings that the Sox have had a lead on two hands. They’re a very bad team right now.

        1. Yes, and Sale choked when he saw the runner break for the plate and threw the ball wildly, thus assuring success.

  6. A couple of folks in Sutton Center area are saying it is snowing there. Also someone from Worcester. Sadly, not in this part of Sutton 🙁

  8. Thanks TK
    I never would have thought on April 10th the Red Sox would be in last place six games out of first and Tampa Bay would be in first place. It is still early but you can’t dig this hole much deeper especially when the Yankees get the players back from the injured list although bad news on Luis Severino being shut down for six more weeks with a grade 2 lat strain and Tampa Bay so far in a small sample size is showing there going to compete and not be a push over.

  10. If the Marathon Monday storm ends up any further west, as it continues to trend in the 12z runs, its going to end up, at least initially, over Chicago or Minneapolis. 🙂 🙂 🙂

  11. Becoming more optimistic for fewer hours of rain for Monday (during race time). There is also hope for getting the Sox game in.

  13. Another historic blizzard now underway in the Plains. They have had some doozies this winter and this one looks like it may end up being the biggest winter storm in years in some areas. Widespread blizzard warnings are up from CO and KS up to SD and MN:

  18. Sox are in huge trouble if they don’t turn things around quickly. And sorry JJ not bc of the Yankess but rather Tampa. They won 90+ games last year so if Sox are say down 10-15 games by June 15th you can forget about it. I never would have given Sale that massive extension. Pitchers are different than position players, so much in their head and when they loose it it’s over. We shall see bc their hitting is terrific and should help overcome some pitching woes but not for too long.

  19. This home stand for the Red Sox is one on paper they should turn it around playing the Orioles and Blue Jays but as we know games aren’t played on paper. Tampa has surprised me so far getting out of the gate with a 10-3 record and leading the AL East over the Yankees and Orioles by 4.5 games. Once the Yankees get their key guys back watch out as they could over take Tampa. If Tampa could continue the way they been pitching they are not going to be a pusher over and I could see them contending for a wild card spot.
