We’ve reached Memorial Day Weekend – “The Unofficial Start of Summer”, but it won’t feel like summer for most of the time.
Low pressure will bring more rain and gusty winds in tonight. Loop provided by Tropical Tidbits.
A late-season nor’easter will slowly pull away from the region tonight and Friday, with rain and gusty winds continuing tonight, then winding down on Friday as the storm moves into the Gulf of Maine. So, the rest of the weekend is better, right? In the words of Lee Corso “Not so fast my friend”. We’ll still be under the influence of that storm, but we’ll also have an upper-level low pressure area moving into the Northeast. This means we’ll still have plenty of clouds, a few showers, and cool temperatures (but not as cool as today) into Saturday. Sunday should be a little better, with slightly milder conditions, less in the way of shower activity, but still a decent amount of clouds. As we head into the holiday on Monday, high pressure will build in, so it will be drier and milder, but with that upper-level low nearby, we can’t completely rule out the chance for another pop-up shower in the afternoon.

Thursday night: Periods of rain, some of it heavy, windy. Low 39-46.
Friday: Rain tapers off to showers in the morning, clouds and a few glimpses of sunshine in the afternoon with a few more showers possible, still breezy in the morning, especially near the coast. High 50-57.
Friday night: Partly to mostly cloudy with more showers, especially before midnight. Low 43-50.
Saturday: More clouds than sun with some additional showers possible. High 53-60.
Unsettled weather is expected at times during the weekend, but no washouts are expected.

A weak low pressure area will start to pull away tonight with any lingering showers ending this evening, but areas of low clouds and fog will hang around overnight. Once the fog burns off Friday morning skies will become partly sunny, setting up a rather nice day with temperatures well into the 70s away from the South Coast, possibly topping 80 in some areas. A late-day shower or thunderstorm can’t be ruled out, mainly well north and west of Boston. A backdoor cold front may try and slide down the coast, bringing some cooler air into the New Hampshire Seacoast and the North Shore before it stalls out. Saturday will feature lots of clouds, with some showers and thunderstorms likely during the afternoon and evening as a cold front approaches the region. Some of these storms could produce gusty winds and heavy downpours, and possibly some hail. The front moves through overnight, with some clearing behind it. We’ll turn a little cooler on Sunday, but with an upper-level low pressure area crossing the region we’ll still have some clouds and possibly a few showers. Monday should feature partly sunny skies, but with the upper-level low nearby there is still a chance for a shower or two.

Thursday night: Showers end in the evening, then mostly cloudy overnight with areas of dense fog developing. Low 54-61.
Friday: Becoming partly sunny, chance for a late-day shower or thunderstorm, mainly across the interior. High 74-81, cooler along the coast.
Friday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, fog may redevelop. Low 54-61.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy, showers and thunderstorms developing, mainly in the afternoon. High 69-76, cooler across Cape Cod and also from the North Shore to the New Hampshire Seacoast.
Saturday night: Showers and thunderstorms ending, some clearing late at night. Low 52-59.
Sunday: Partly sunny, chance for a few showers in the afternoon, breezy. High 66-73.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 47-54.
Monday: A mix of sun and clouds, just a slight chance for a shower, breezy. High 62-69.
The weather pattern will significantly improve for the second half of this weekend. Of course, that means that the first half of the weekend won’t be that great.
Friday’s temperatures will be 10-15 degrees below normal for much of the region. Image provided by weathermodels.com
An upper-level low pressure system will move towards the Northeast tonight, triggering a few showers across the region. At the same time, a surface low pressure area will start to move up the coast. Ahead of that low, easterly winds off the still cool-Atlantic, combined with the rain the storm system will generate, will result in a very cool day on Friday, with temperatures likely not budging much from what they drop to tonight. Temperatures will only be in the 50s, with areas north of the Mass Pike and also along the east coast likely staying in the upper 40s. If the low-pressure system tracks across southeastern Massachusetts, as some models show, then temperatures could briefly spike into the 60s across that region, but this is far from certain. As for the rain, it looks like the steadiest and heaviest rain holds off until afternoon, but occasional showers are likely during the day. Rain continues Friday night, ending from southwest to northeast Saturday morning and early afternoon as the storm system moves into the Gulf of Maine. Some showers may linger into the afternoon, especially across southern New Hampshire, but we should finally start to see some clearing by evening. High pressure then builds in with sunshine and milder weather for both Sunday and Monday.

Thursday night: Mostly cloudy with some showers likely. Low 45-52.
Friday: Cloudy with more showers, becoming a steadier rain during the afternoon. High 48-55, possibly milder across parts of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.
Friday night: Rain likely. Low 44-51, possibly milder across parts of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.
Saturday: Showers ending by early afternoon, some clearing may start to develop late in the day, especially across Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts, becoming breezy. High 58-65.
Saturday night: Becoming clear. Low 45-52.
Sunday: Plenty of sunshine. High 64-71.
Sunday night: A few clouds around. Low 40-47.
Monday: More sunshine. High 69-76, cooler along the South Coast and Cape Cod.
It’s a weekend, so that must mean it’s going to rain.
We’re still experiencing drought conditions, so we need the rain. Image provided by the National Drought Mitigation Center.
We’ve got a low pressure area heading toward the Great Lakes, sending a warm front our way. A few showers may accompany that front across southern New Hampshire this evening, otherwise we’ll remain dry, setting up a rather mild Friday. While there will be some sunshine, it could be dimmed by smoke and haze drifting up from the large wildfires in New Jersey. That warm front may stall out and/or drift southward a bit on Friday, bringing cooler air back to the New Hampshire Seacoast and the North Shore, but otherwise, most places away from the South Coast should reach 70 once again. Clouds thicken up Friday night ahead of the low pressure area, with some rain moving in by daybreak. Saturday shouldn’t be a complete washout, but it will be fairly damp. Rain is likely through the morning, then there may be a bit of a lull by early afternoon, before another batch of showers accompanies a cold front late in the day. Some clearing is expected Saturday night, but an upper-level low moving across the Northeast on Sunday will generate more clouds, possibly a shower or two, and bring in cooler temperatures. High pressure returns on Monday with drier and milder conditions.
Thursday night: Chance for an evening shower across southern New Hampshire, otherwise partly cloudy. Low 48-55.
Friday: Partly sunny with some haze or smoke around in the morning, clouds thicken up during the afternoon. High 72-79 inland, 64-71 along the coast, a little cooler across the Outer Cape and Islands. Temperatures may turn cooler for a while in the afternoon from Boston northward, especially along the coast.
Friday night: Mostly cloudy, rain developing towards daybreak. Low 48-55.
Saturday: Cloudy and breezy with showers likely, tapering off late in the day. High 61-68, cooler across the South Coast, Cape, and Islands.
Some warmer weather is on the way, but it won’t last too long.
We’ve got some great weather for baseball on tap for Monday morning.
High pressure remains in control into Friday with clear skies and seasonably cool temperatures tonight. We’ll start to warm up a bit on Friday, but also see clouds move in ahead of a weak upper-level disturbance and a warm front. The upper-level disturbance may produce a late-day shower across parts of southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts, but most of us will still dry. Low pressure heading into the Great Lakes will send a warm front our way Friday night, with a better chance for showers across the region. Behind the front, we’ll have a significant warmup on Saturday, with many locations away from the South Coast topping 70, but southwest to south winds will keep the South Coast and Cape Cod in the 60s or even 50s, as water temperatures remain rather chilly. Across inland locations, if we get enough sunny breaks, some places may even break 80. A cold front moves through late in the day, possibly producing a few more showers. High pressure builds in behind the front for Easter Sunday with breezy and cooler weather, but many locations will still top 60. For Patriots Day on Monday, we’ll see clouds moving back in with some showers by evening as another system approaches, but again we should top 60, cooler along the coast thanks to seabreezes.

Thursday night: Clear skies. Low 33-40.
Friday: Morning sunshine, then increasing and thickening clouds in the afternoon, slight chance for a late-day shower from the Merrimack Valley northward, becoming breezy. High 60-67, except 52-59 along the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Friday night: Mostly cloudy and breezy with scattered showers. Low 47-54, temperatures may start to rise after midnight.
Saturday: Clouds and some sunny breaks, slight chance for a late-day shower, breezy. High 74-81 inland, 66-73 near the South Coast, 58-65 across Cape Cod.
Saturday night: Mostly cloudy with a few showers during the evening, skies start to clear out late night. Low 48-55.
Sunday: Sunshine and a few clouds, breezy. High 58-65.
Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 35-42.
Monday: Morning sun, then increasing clouds, showers possibly towards evening. High 55-62 except 47-54 along the immediate coast and across Cape Cod.
Another dreary weekend is on the way for the region, and there may even be some snow for parts of the region.

Low pressure will head toward the Mid-Atlantic states tonight, sending some showers our way. Across the interior, well north and west of Boston, temperatures will be marginally cold enough for the rain to change to snow, especially in the hills of Worcester County and the Monadnocks, but also some of the lower elevations outside of I-495. We’re not expecting any accumulation, though it wouldn’t be a shock if there was a coating on some grassy surfaces. The showers should taper off towards daybreak. and Friday will just be a cloudy day with a few stray showers possible. The low over the Mid-Atlantic states starts moving our way Friday night, with some steadier and heavier rain moving in, and continuing for much of Saturday. Again, we’ll have some marginally cold air in place Friday night, so we could see more snow mixing in, with a coating possible on grassy surfaces outside of 495, and possibly a little more than that in the hills of Worcester County and the Monadnocks once again. Saturday will be a rather chilly day with northeast winds keeping temperatures in the upper 30s and lower 40s for much of the region. Combine that with the rain, and it won’t be a great day to be outside. The rain tapers off Saturday night, but as that system starts moving toward the northeast and passes offshore, it could possibly bring in some more rain on Sunday, especially for eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. That system pulls away Sunday night and high pressure briefly builds in for Monday with some sunshine and milder conditions.

Thursday night: Cloudy with some showers developing, possibly mixed with snow across the interior. Low 32-39.
Friday: Cloudy and becoming breezy with a few showers possibly, mainly in the morning. High 43-50, coolest along the coast.
Friday night: Cloudy and breezy with rain developing, mixed with snow across the interior. Low 31-38.
Saturday: Breezy with periods of rain. High 37-44.
Saturday night: Rain tapers off the showers. Low 33-40.
Sunday: Cloudy and breezy with more showers possible, favoring eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. High 44-51, coolest across southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod.
Sunday night: Any showers end in the evening, becoming partly cloudy overnight. Low 34-41.
Monday: Partly sunny. High 56-63, cooler across Cape Cod.
The weather looks fantastic for the Red Sox home opener at Fenway tomorrow, but the rest of the weekend doesn’t look that great.
The home opener at Fenway means summer isn’t far away.
A cold front will cross the region this evening, possibly accompanied by a few showers tonight. The front settles south of New England on Friday, with some clearing taking place from north to south. Temperatures will remain mild, which is good news if you’re heading to Opening Day at Fenway. For first pitch at 2:10pm, skies will be partly sunny, winds out of the northwest at 10-15 mph (blowing from left field to right field), and the temperature will likely be in the lower 60s. Clouds will start to stream back in late Friday night as that frontal system starts lifting northward once again. Saturday is looking like a rather cool day with northeast to east winds off the ocean, and rain developing toward midday. Occasional periods of rain and showers are likely into the nighttime hours before tapering off. The front will lift through as a warm front on Sunday, but how far north it gets is still a question mark. Areas south of Boston should have a very mild afternoon, but how warm it gets north of Boston, especially into southern New Hampshire, is uncertain. If the warm front does get that far north, temperatures could get well into the 60s. If not, it could stay in the 50s or even upper 40s all afternoon. We’ll have some spotty showers at times, but the day shouldn’t be a washout. Another low pressure area moves through later in the day and at night with more rain likely. That system drags a cold front through at night, with cooler air moving in behind the system on Monday. Showers should gradually end during the day as the system moves offshore.
Sunday’s temperatures are dependent on the northward progress of a warm front. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Thursday night: Mostly cloudy with a few showers possible, mainly south of the Mass Pike. Low 46-53.
Friday: Any lingering showers near the South Coast end early, followed by gradual clearing from north to south. High 58-65.
Friday night: Partly cloudy through the evening, clouds increase and thicken up after midnight. Low 35-42.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy and cooler with rain developing. High 41-48, temperatures may drop a little in the afternoon.
Saturday night: Rain tapers off to showers. Low 35-42, temperatures may start to rise after midnight.
Sunday: Plenty of clouds with a few showers possible. High 55-62, possibly warmer south of Boston.
Sunday night: Cloudy with more rain and showers. Low 36-43.
Monday: Mostly cloudy, showers ending. High 44-51.
Opening Day has arrived, our surest sign of Spring yet. However, Mother Nature will remind us this weekend that Spring doesn’t always feature nice weather around here.

A weak frontal system will cross the region tonight with just a few rain or snow showers accompanying it, but it will have a much bigger impact on the region over the weekend. That front will stall out right across the region on Friday, which should end up being a decent day with some sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures. Waves of low pressure will ride along the front over the weekend, bringing in episodes of rain, possibly starting as a little snow or freezing rain across parts of southern New Hampshire or even the Merrimack Valley. The entire day won’t be a washout, but it won’t exaclty be a nice day either. With the front stalled out, we will have quite the temperature contrast across the region. South of the front, likely across Connecticut, southwest winds will send temperatures well into the 60s or even 70s on Saturday despite the cloudcover. On the other side of the front northeast winds off the still-chilly Atlantic will mean temperatures only in the upper 30s and 40s on Saturday with some occasional showers and drizzle. In between? Well, it depends on where the front stalls, as there will be a difference of 30 or more degrees over a span of 30 or so miles. That front will sag southward on Sunday, bringing the cooler air into Connecticut as well, with episodes of showers likely across the region. As stronger low pressure area heads toward the St. Lawrence Valley Sunday night, it will lift the front back across the entire region as a warm front, resulting in a milder day on Monday for the entire region, but with more showers likely. A cold front finally moves through late Monday, bringing an end to the rain.

With the clouds expected early Saturday, our chances of seeing the sunrise partial eclipse of the sun are pretty slim, but there’s still a chance that we’ll have just enough clear skies on the eastern horizon to be able to see it.

Thursday night: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy, slight chance for a rain or snow shower. Low 30-37.
Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 50-57.
Friday night: Becoming mostly cloudy with showers developing, possibly as some snow or sleet across southern and central New Hampshire. Low 33-40.
Saturday: Plenty of clouds, some sunny breaks possible, mainly near the South Coast. Some showers and drizzle are possible at times, especially near the east coast. High 35-42 across southern New Hampshire and central and eastern Massachusetts north of the Mass Pike, and also along eastern coastal sections, 43-50 across interior southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, possibly even warmer, especially in southwestern Rhode Island. Temperatures may drop during the afternoon along the coast and into southern New Hampshire.
Saturday night: Cloudy with more showers, possibly some freezing rain across central and southern New Hampshire. Low 31-38.
Sunday: Cloudy with scattered showers. High 38-45, a little cooler across southern New Hampshire.
Sunday night: Cloudy with a few more showers. Low 35-42 during the evening, temperatures rise overnight.
Monday: Mostly cloudy, breezy, more showers likely, possibly some steadier rain or even a rumble of thunder in the afternoon. High 57-64, cooler across the South Coast and Cape Cod.
Spring began this morning, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to put your winter gear away.

A cold front is making its way toward the region this afternoon, and we’ll see some rain developing ahead of that front tonight. Rain will continue overnight, ending Friday morning as the front moves across the region. We’ll clear out quickly Friday afternoon, with gusty northwest winds ushering some cooler air into the region. High pressure then builds in for Saturday with a milder day, but we’ll see clouds quickly returning ahead of a weak cold front. That front may produce a couple of showers late Saturday afternoon or evening, but most of us will remain dry. Behind it, colder air moves back in for Saturday night and Sunday, despite clear skies. Clouds move right back in Sunday evening, as another system quickly heads our way. This system is a little more complicated. While we’re looking at a chilly, wet day on Monday for much of the region, there may be just enough cold air in place for the rain to start as snow, mainly well north and west of Boston. If it starts before daybreak, we could even see a little accumulation in spots, mainly southern New Hampshire. Any snow should change over to rain during the morning, with periods of rain and showers likely for much of the day.
Could there be a little snow for parts of the region Monday morning? Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
Thursday night: Mostly cloudy with areas of fog, rain developing after midnight. Low 37-44.
Friday: Showers end in the morning, skies start to clear out from west to east in the afternoon, becoming breezy. High 43-50.
Friday night: Clear skies with diminishing winds, some clouds may start to move back in towards daybreak. Low 31-38.
Saturday: Partly sunny, breezy, just a very slight chance for a late-day shower. High 53-60.
Saturday night: Becoming clear. Low 23-30.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, breezy, clouds start to return by evening. High 40-47.
Sunday night: Becoming mostly cloudy, chance for rain towards daybreak, possibly starting as wet snow well north and west of Boston. Low 27-34, temperatures start rising after midnight.
Monday: Mostly cloudy with rain likely, possibly some wet snow early in the day across southern New Hampshire. High 43-50.
Some milder weather is on the way once again, but so is some rain.
We could be looking a decent amount of rain Sunday night and early Monday. Image provided by Weathermodels.com
High pressure will remain in control for the next day or two, keeping us on the cool side into Friday, especially near the coast, thanks to east to northeast winds off the chilly Atlantic. We will see some sunshine developing on Friday. Skies may clear out enough tonight to allow you to view the total lunar eclipse, but that is far from a guarantee. As the high moves offshore on Saturday, winds shift into the south and southwest, bringing milder air back in, but also some clouds ahead of a storm system slowly making its way eastward. This storm will produce quite a bit of severe weather from the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys to the Gulf Coast over the next few days, but we’re not expecting that once it moves in. What we are expecting is strong southerly winds on Sunday, possibly gusting to 40-50 mph or higher. This will result in a very mild day away from the South Coast, with temperatures likely getting well into the 60s in many spots. As the cold front trailing the system draws nearer, we’ll see a few showers in the afternoon, becoming more widespread at night, some of them heavy, and some thunderstorms are possible. The front will slow down Sunday night, keeping the rain going into at least Monday morning. Once the front finally pulls away in the afternoon we may see some late-day clearing.
