The Rain Is Nearing

A cold front will slowly pass from west to east between 11am-8pm. The front will induce showers/few storms from late this morning (around 10am) through this evening. The front's slow motion will allow for lingering showers to affect southeastern Mass. early tonight as well.  Highs will range between the upper 50s and lower 60s...winds shift from south to west around 6-12 mph.

A cooler pool of air will be upon us Thursday. This, along with un upper level low, will be the culprit for diurnal cloud cover and spotty showers.  Also, the cooler air will means lower high temps in the middle to upper 50s.

There are no major storm systems or warm-ups in store as we near Mother's Day weekend.  At the moment, my best forecasting assumption is that Friday will be partly cloudy to partly sunny...Saturday will be partly sunny with a few afternoon showers...and Mother's Day will be partly sunny->dry->late-evening clouds and possibly a shower.  Highs will be in the middle to upper 60s Friday through Mother's Day. 

Models are hinting at another trying week to pinpoint long-range forecasting next week. Let the fun begin...
