Glass half-full or glass half-empty? Which is your point of view? That’ll help you decide whether the weekend will be good or not so good.
High pressure slides off to the east, with another sunny day expected on Friday. Temperatures will be mild away from the shoreline, but a seabreeze will keep coastal areas on the cool side once again. Clouds will start to stream in Friday night ahead of a warm front, but we’re not sure that front ever makes it across the region. Saturday looks to feature plenty of clouds, and maybe even a little drizzle, with seasonably cool temperatures, especially the closer to the coastline you get. Low pressure heads into southeastern Canada Saturday night into Sunday, dragging a slow-moving cold front toward the region. Showers will move in ahead of the front Saturday night. To the amateur, looking at the models you would forecast Sunday to be a washout, but that is likely not the case. We’ll have occasional periods of rain, especially during the morning, but it won’t be all day, and in fact, a good chunk of the day, especially in the afternoon, could end up dry. When it does rain though, some of it could be heavy. Since it’s been rather dry lately, we actually do need the rain, so despite it falling on a weekend, it’s not completely bad. Temperatures will be on the cool side once again thanks to the clouds, rain, and gusty onshore winds. The cold front moves offshore later Sunday, but an upper-level low moves into the Northeast on Monday, meaning we’ll still have plenty of clouds, more showers at times, and breezy and cool conditions. This is Mother Nature’s way of reminding you that despite our summer preview a week ago, it is still April in New England.
