Please take a moment today to pause and remember the fallen. Regardless of your stance on any issue, that stance is one of your freedoms they fought to give you. We owe them much, but if they were here today they would not ask for it, so please, just give them something back by never forgetting…

DAYS 1-5 (MAY 25-29)

After being dominated by dry air for a good part of the weekend, the holiday itself finds itself mired in a low overcast from the ocean. High pressure has positioned itself to bring in a light but moisture-laden southeasterly air flow today, which announced its arrival at the end of the day yesterday with an advancing deck of stratus clouds. A few pockets of drizzle may occur this morning near the coast, but as they day goes on the clouds will try to break, but this is much more likely to happen over the interior. So expect today’s conditions to be cloudiest and coolest the nearer to the ocean you are, but possibly turning at least partly sunny and much milder further inland. The clouds refill tonight where they broke but all areas will see the departure of these clouds Tuesday as we are introduced to a warmer and drier southwesterly air flow, and a taste of summer, which will build through midweek as the southwest wind continues, finally delivering some humidity by Thursday. This is when I now have to introduce the risk of a pop up shower or thunderstorm to the forecast for interior locations, although this will be a low risk. By Friday, however, a cold front sweeping into the region from the west will bring a better chance of showers and thunderstorms to the region, coverage and intensity to be dependent on amount of sun and the timing of the front. Updates to come.

TODAY: Low overcast, areas of light fog, and some coastal drizzle possible this morning. Clouds break with some sun developing mainly over inland locations this afternoon. Highs 55-62 coast, 63-70 inland. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 50-57. Wind SE to S under 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Clouds give way to sun. Highs 78-85 except 70-77 South Coast. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear except some low clouds and fog possible South Coast. Lows 55-62. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 81-88 except 73-80 South Coast with coolest over Cape Cod. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clear except patchy fog interior lower elevations. Lows 56-63. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of an isolated shower or thunderstorm inland locations mid to late afternoon. More humid. Highs 80-87 except 72-79 South Coast with coolest over Cape Cod. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Humid. Lows 60-67. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers and thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 78-85, cooler South Coast. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MAY 30-JUNE 3)

Upper level low pressure and a lingering surface trough may trigger a few showers to start the May 30-31 weekend which should end up on a drier, cooler note before finishing. The first few days of June look cooler to start, then milder to finish, with some showers possible during the temperature transition.

DAYS 11-15 (JUNE 4-8)

Overall pattern looks cooler and drier than average but at least one threat of showers/thunderstorms should occur.

  5. To all who gave their all. To all of their families. Thank you is hardly enough to say for giving so much so that we can be free.

  9. TK thank you as always for the forecast, but more so for the Poignant statement preceding it. Very well said sir, thank you!!

  12. Thanks to you TK and SAK!

    Remembering all those who gave the Ultimate Sacrifice for freedom in our country and world.

    Low clouds and murkiness hanging tough here at the noon hour. Peeks of sun every once and awhile.

  14. Breaks in the overcast are happening, but in limited areas as of 3PM. I expect additional breaks to develop between now & sunset.

    Big jump in temp tomorrow & even a bit more Wednesday. I think Wednesday will probably the the warmest of the stretch. That is because I believe the majority of our region will see wind take a longer trajectory over land to arrive before it backs a tad toward the south again Thursday, which increase the humidity but lowers the warmth potential slightly. I think if any showers or isolated t-storms pop up Thursday it will be late-day and mostly west of the WHW “forecast area” but something to keep an eye on anyway. The main action will be Friday but as stated in the discussion above and also indicated by SAK in his forecast we won’t really know the coverage & intensity of the activity until we get a little closer to the event itself.

    No big changes beyond that either. Seeing stronger evidence of big high pressure and a lot of cool air in eastern Canada that may trigger an anomalously cool episode or series of episodes during the first half of June.

    1. Breaking here but too late. We had planned our first socially distanced backyard get together with my oldest and her family here. So not meant to be but maybe next weekend.

      1. I favor Sunday over Saturday next weekend, but both days may end up pretty nice.

    3. “anomalously cool episode or series of episodes” ……. don’t the weather Gods remember the 19 episodes we endured in April thru mid May? And, I’m not sure Marshfield has surpassed 55F since this past Saturday morning.

      Oh well, I’ll enjoy the next 4 days 🙂 🙂 🙂

  15. People I encounter have been asking me what happened to summer.
    Answer: It’s May. Summer begins after the middle of June.
    “But we haven’t had any beach weather yet!”
    Well, yeah, because it’s, umm… spring …you know, that season that comes BETWEEN winter and summer? You may have heard of it. (Resisting a face-palm at this point.)
    Why does this have to be re-taught each year? HAHAHA!

  16. TK – A “taste” of 2009 upcoming?

    The words “anomolously cool” got my attention.

    1. Was 2009 a cold summer? I recall June 2011 was cold for a good part of the first half. It was much like June 1982. Don’t recall rest of summer though.

        1. 2009? Oh dear. But I thought someone said it might be a dry summer or did I make that up?

    2. No, it’s not the same pattern set-up at all.

      2009 was very wet & cool in June & July, and very nice in August & September.

      I don’t see the wet, nor as big a cool anomaly (mainly because that was due to excessive cloud cover and rain) in the upcoming June pattern.
