As is typical of April, this week will be cool, warm, wet, and dry. Let’s get into the details.
High pressure slides offshore today, allowing milder weather to move back in on gusty south to southwest winds. A frontal system will drop southward later in the day, bringing some clouds in, along with a few showers at night, mainly north of the Mass Pike. That front will continue to slowly drift southward during the day on Tuesday, with some additional showers possible. South of the front, temperatures will be in the mild side, possibly well into the 60s, on Tuesday, but to the north of it, it will be much cooler, with temperatures only in the 50s, perhaps upper 40s. With the front expected to stall out south of the region, Wednesday looks chilly and somewhat damp thanks to east winds off the still-cool Atlantic.
That front will lift northward again as a warm front Wednesday night, setting up a rather warm day on Thursday. Despite plenty of clouds, temperatures will get well into the 60s, likely topping 70 in some spots. If we can get any sunshine, temperatures could get well into the 70s across the region. The warm air won’t hang around long though, as a cold front moves through late in the day with some showers and possibly thunderstorms. High pressure builds in for Friday and the weekend with dry weather. Temperatures will be cooler on Friday and Saturday, but should moderate on Sunday.
Monday: Morning sunshine, clouds start to filter in during the afternoon, breezy. High 49-56.
Monday night: Mostly cloudy, winds diminish during the evening, a few showers likely after midnight, mainly north of the Mass Pike. Low 39-46.
Tuesday: Plenty of clouds, with some additional showers possible, again favoring areas north of the Mass Pike. High 50-57 north of the Mass Pike, 58-65 south of the Pike, except cooler along the coast.
Tuesday night: Cloudy with areas of fog and drizzle. Low 38-45.
Wednesday: Cloudy with a few showers and some drizzle likely. High 44-51.
Thursday: More clouds than sun, breezy, and warm with some late-day showers, possibly a thunderstorm. High 65-72, cooler along the South Coast.
Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, windy, and cooler. High 51-58.
Saturday: Plenty of sunshine, breezy. High 48-55.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, breezy again. High 55-62.
