DAYS 1-5 (MAY 29-JUNE 2)
This forecast period carries us through the first weekend of June, which also happens to be the first 2 days of June, and although we don’t see any summer-type heat in it, we don’t see anything like those record low high temperatures of 49 set on the first 2 days of June 2015 at Boston, nor do we see anything quite like the cold/wet pattern of June 2009. It will be unsettled today and Thursday with a couple opportunities for episodes of showers as waves of low pressure travel along a boundary sitting just to the south of the region. For a while it looked like that boundary may end up further north and we’d be warmer. But sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way. This is one of those times. One thing being on the cooler side of the front is doing is protecting us from severe weather that has been occurring not that far away (as close by as NYC area which had hail and a possible tornado in northern NJ, as well as many severe weather reports in Pennsylvania). Once we get to Friday and Saturday, we return to nice weather as high pressure pushes the unsettled weather away, but will it be able to hold it off all the way through Sunday? At the moment I’m thinking no, and that low pressure will push back in from the southwest, returning some wet weather to the region. If it is slower, the rain may hold off, but at day 5 there is time to fine tune this.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Overcast with patchy light fog morning. Mostly cloudy with breaks of sun possible afternoon. Highs 58-65, coolest coast. Wind light variable, mainly onshore near coastal areas.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Showers likely. Temperatures steady 58-65 evening, rising slowly overnight. Wind light variable becoming S.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Risk of showers mainly first half of morning and second half of afternoon. Highs 68-75, cooler some coastal areas. Wind light S.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms evening. Lows 55-62. Wind becoming W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 71-78 except cooler any north or west facing shores. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind light N.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 67-74, coolest coast. Wind light E.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind light SE.
SUNDAY: Becoming cloudy. Chance of rain, especially afternoon. Highs 61-68. Wind light SE.

DAYS 6-10 (JUNE 3-7)
Low pressure should pull away allowing drier but cooler air to arrive during June 3 but the low may hang not that far to the northeast keeping it cool and breezy into June 4 as well. Warm-up June 5-6 with mostly fair weather except risk of showers/t-storms later June 6 depending on timing of next frontal system. May remain a little unsettled into June 7 as a trough of low pressure moves through the region. Also turns cooler at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 8-12)
It will be hard to shake off the pattern that allows the mean trough to be near the Northeast. This presents the risk of a few showers and thunderstorms at times but also keeps any early heat from getting established.

  3. I understand meteorological spring 2019 is battling meteorological spring 1983 for most days with measured precipitation.

    I was curious how June 1983 began and the first 10 days had 8 days of highs in the 60s or 70s and 2 days with a high of 80F and a high in the low 80s.

    I know summer 2019 probably isn’t predicted to be as hot as summer 1983, but I was curious nonetheless and will be following.

    1. The 1983 “heat dome” basically came out of nowhere, and then didn’t leave for a few months, other than relaxing a little bit in August.

  7. Good morning and thank you TK.

    I am very happy to keep the heat away!!!

    I have to laugh at the forecasts of 90+ previously virtually set in stone for tomorrow.
    🙂 🙂 🙂
    NEVER EVER EVER trust a long range forecast for New England. 🙂 🙂 🙂

    You know, as I was walking across the street from Dunkin Donuts with drizzle
    smacking my face, I was actually quite content with the weather and didn’t mind
    it a single bit.

    Gotta LOVE New England weather.

    1. well I certainly understand why you’re happy to keep the heat away but given that an east breeze and drizzle was hitting you in the face I figured your first comment would be: This is a puke-a-rama $&#:#@&=°[✓¥©%/?$#!

      😀

      1. Well, not today anyway. After all, we just had an absolutely beautiful 3-day Holiday Weekend. Plus, I didn’t have any
        outdoor plans for yesterday, today or tomorrow, so I am good.
        Plus, I am trying harder to take the weather as it comes. Not much we can do about it.
        In another day or day, I may change my tune as I am known to do just that.

  8. Bring on the summer weather. Enough of 50’s!! But such is life and nothing we can do about it.

  11. Not weather related but just plain awesome news. Alex Trebek is reporting he is near remission. I pray his response to treatment continues.

    2. That’s amazing almost a miracle. My grandmother & my wife’s mom died of this and I know first hand this diagnosis is not a good one at all in fact this is the first I’ve heard of this . I wish him well .

    3. He’s definitely had an attitude I think most of us would hope to match in this situation.

  13. the latter part of the 12z GFS is …… well, un-summerlike.

    It actually cooks up a coastal storm that belongs in the cold or cool seasons.

    I hope since its the long range, it changes.

      1. Where were all the coastals this past winter? Better than HHH I suppose. Too many extremes either way around here. 🙁

        1. They’re not really extremes if they are part of the normal range of weather we get.

    1. There were areas of partial clearing and it was only mostly cloudy for 2 days after a really nice weekend.

      This isn’t any different than weather we get year after year.

      Also, it’s May, not June.

  17. I hope Alex Trebek beats cancer. He was determined to from the beginning and it looks like he just might.

  18. Since 2005, 2011 and 2013 still beat this year’s tornado count. We’ll see what happens. Most of the other years in there were below average.

  19. Anyone a regular watcher of Jeopardy like I am? James Holzhauer goes for win number 30 tonight. I saw a report yesterday that based on his current pace he could exceed Ken Jennings winnings on June 3rd. There are people I know who don’t watch Jeopardy are watching it now because of him.

  20. GFS has highs in the lower to middle 50s with strong NE wind and heavy rain on June 13. SUMMER’S OVER! Pack it up! 😉

    2. Well that won’t do. It is oldest grand’s 12th birthday. Or maybe it will do….he just informed me he likes rain. He gets an extra present from nana for that 🙂

  21. Good grief. There is too much cloud cover for a sunset but I think the world turned yellow

    2. Had to do with the configuration of cloud decks and sun position in relation.

    3. This makes me remember that many years ago my sister and I would call these conditions “Chicken Skin Sky!”
