Rain 'In', Rain 'Out'
Rain 'in', rain 'out'...That seems to be the deal with this current weather pattern. A storm system moves in just as quickly as it moves out. In between, we will have many hours of sunshine. Looking into the first week of May, I don't see major, long-term blocking ridge(s) setting up either.
The upper level low is opening up and weakening, and its associated longwave trough will slowly be exiting New England this evening. Today will start off sunny-style before clouds build and a few showers develop this afternoon. Highs will be in the middle to upper 50s. Winds will still be breezy and originating from the west-southwest.
Thursday's forecast will be the product of a clipper-like system jetting from the Great Lakes Region. The morning sunshine will be short-lived as it's quickly taken over by clouds and scattered rain later in the day. Highs will be near 60F.
Friday will be a bright and sunshiny end to the work and school week. Winds will mean business as they will be gusty from the west-northwest. Highs will be around the 60F mark.
This weekend is looking more and more dry as the GFSx and the EURO are pushing a frontal boundary to our south now. This will need to be watched, but for now, I am keeping us dry all weekend long. There may be more clouds rolling across southeastern Massachusetts though on Saturday evening and Saturday night. Highs will be cooler the entire weekend as the mercury hovers in the middle 50s on Saturday and lower 50s on Sunday.
Halfway to the weekend...~Melissa :)
