DAYS 1-5 (MAY 27-31)
The final 5 days of May. How time flies. But today we pause to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom, and what a beautiful weather day to remember them. We should always keep them in our minds as we enjoy ourselves, especially today… Our beautiful weather today is courtesy an area of high pressure that came from Canada. At least the timing was good, because a cold front that crossed the region yesterday with gusty winds and only isolated showers is going to play a little meaner trick on us as it changes uniforms, becomes a warm front, and slowly creeps back to the north toward New England Tuesday while a wave of low pressure moves along it. This will bring rain and much cooler air as we maximize the influence of the still-chilly ocean water. The front may take all day to finally get to the north during Wednesday, another unsettled day though not as cool as Tuesday. We bust into the warm air Thursday, but still with a shower risk, and add the risk of thunderstorms too due to the warmth and humidity. The front, which never gets that far north, goes back to the south again Friday, but this time far enough that we should be able to bring some drying in with clearing and fair weather returning.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 71-78. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 1-5)
Weak overall weather systems but the tendency will be to have high pressure shift a little more offshore and for the region to be in a predominant southwesterly flow with mostly fair weather, limited shower/t-storm risks, and warmer than average temperatures, but have to watch for ocean breezes and a system from the west which may enhance the shower risk later June 2 and another one sometime June 5.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 6-10)
A trough crossing eastern Canada may send a couple disturbances and shower/t-storm chances into the region a couple times during this period. Temperatures overall should be fairly close to seasonal averages.

    And here is a photo I took yesterday in a local cemetery.

  6. Thanks TK and thank you to all who have served this country on this Memorial Day!!!
    Looking at the 12z NAM thankfully here in SNE our airmass is stable. Some impressive severe parameters showing up in PA southern parts of Upstate NY, NYC and NJ for tomorrow.

    1. Indeed, JJ, thank you to all who have served this country. That’s the real meaning of Memorial Day. It’s also why I cringe when I hear the words “Memorial Day sales events.” So crass, in my view.

  8. The sacrifices these people have made is why we have what have in this country and why today were able to go to a baseball game, cookout, beach etc.

  9. 61 at the Airport, about 74 here in JP and 81 at Norwood.
    the Airport is an absolute Joke!!

    1. Gee, I wonder what happened to all of the HYPE about 90 degrees on Thursday???
      🙂 🙂 🙂

      1. I looked up LBD. It’s similar to Alzheimer’s but even worse and it also is accompanied by a form of Parkinson’s disease. Sad indeed.

  12. Is there a special hockey game of some sorts tonight? I heard something about that. 🙂

  13. Happy Memorial Day and unofficial start of Summer. I am not sure who else can say this but I had ancestors in every war this country has been in. I have had ancestors going back to the mayflower. Fighting in the French and Indian war, the Revolutionary war including Lexington and Concord. I am thankful for those willing to serve our military to make it so I can contribute via science, enjoying family and friends.

  15. Very sad to hear about Bill Buckner. I was stunned by the news. 69 is way too young. I was also upset to to know that he suffered dementia in his latter years as a man in his 60s.

    He was the consummate baseball player, who persevered through pain and injury, and could do a lot on the baseball field – different fielding positions; early in his career he could run well; contact hitter who also hit for average; clutch hitter, had a little power, too.

    He shouldn’t be known for the ground ball that went through his legs. I remember thinking back in 1987 that it was unfair to blame Buckner for that Mets comeback. Everything fell apart that inning.

    By the way, he was the left fielder at old Fulton stadium in Atlanta in April 1974 when Hank Aaron hit his 715th homerun. Buckner practically scaled the fence to try and catch it, to no avail.

    1. Well said, Joshua. He certainly endured a tremendous amount in his …what I consider…far too short a life. Alzheimer disease is horrific when you are older but to have in your 60s seems just cruel.

      He was a multi talented individual. You are so correct that he was the consummate baseball player. I smiled at your mention of the Aaron home run.

      His treatment in 1987 and after will forever be a stain on both his team and the Red Sox fan base. It was a turning point for the sport and was also the beginning of my lack of respect for it.
