Pesky warm front

Hope everyone enjoyed yesterday.  I don't see a day anywhere near as nice as yesterday for at least a week.

Today:  Cloudy, maybe a few showers or patchy drizzle, highs in the mid and upper 50s south, warmer north due to lack of a breeze off the ocean, highs near 60.

Tonight:  Rain possible, especially north, lows near 50 south, around 40 north.

Tomorrow:  Mix of clouds and sun, slight chance of showers, highs around 70 south*, in the 50s elsewhere.  More on the * later.

Tomorrow night:  Mostly cloudy, showers possible, lows in the upper 40s and low 50s south, low 40s north.

Wednesday:  Mostly cloudy, showers possible, highs in the upper 60s to near 70 south, 60s north.

Discussion:

As mentioned in my last couple of updates we are going to be dealing with a slow moving warm front the next few days.  This is the reason for the cooler, dreary day we are currently having.  Over the next couple of days, this front will work its way north.  As it does so, it will be the focal point for showers and possibly a thunderstorm.

Today the front will be south of the region, bringing easterly winds to much of New England.  Northern sections won't suffer as much as there won't be as direct impact from the Atlantic.  We shouldn't be too wet during the day today as it's going to take a little while for some moisture to work into the area.  Rain will develop tonight however.

During the day on Tuesday the warm front should start move north.  The big question is how far it is going to make it.  Now to discuss the * above.  It looks like most of Southern New England will warm up tomorrow, but not all.  I think the warm front will make it to the MA/NH border and then dip down into MA toward Cape Ann.  Areas north of the front will stay cool, where areas south will be much warmer.

Tuesday night the warm front will continue push northward and by Wednesday it should be across far northern New England.  Temperatures should be mild, but we'll still have the chance for showers.  So overall, this week will be warm but a bit unsettled.  Eventually a cold front will move through the region with the chance of more rain and depending on the time of the day the front comes through, thunderstorms may also be possible.  Right now it looks like the front might pass through on Thursday afternoon.  Friday should be drier and a touch cooler.  Looking into the upcoming weekend, conditions look pleasant.

Thanks for reading!
