5/22/12 RAINachusetts... Yup! More rain. Memorial Day Outlook

Thanks to my friend Mikey for today's headline!  Royalties to come in the mail.

Today's weather map has some great weather features on it, if you are a meteorologist!  Not if you are a fan of sunshine, but have no fear, a big warm up is on the way.

An area of low pressure is slowly tracking up the northeast coast, bringing an east wind to most of NE. This will keep our sky cloudy with scattered showers for most of the day.  The former tropical storm Alberto will track well south of New England and eventually become part of the larger overall low pressure with no impact to land areas.    A cold front will slowly push east and bring the chance for thunderstorms on Thursday.
Scattered rain will be with us for  most of the day today as bands rotate in around the low over the South Shore






Weekend weather map...  High pressure will build across the South pumping heat into the plains and the Northeast. However, a cold front may be hard to displace. At this time, it is too soon to say whether the Boston area will be in the heat or in the cooler marine air.

With the above statement made, the weekend here in New England will end up sunny and hot or cool with some scattered showers.  As the week progresses, we can evaluate the pattern, right now I will go in the middle and not warm us up and keep a scattered shower possible.

Scattered Showers and Thunderstorms are possible into Thursday. A more humid airmass moves in late Thursday in to the weekend.
At this point, most areas will see Sunshine, through the weekend. A possible shower is possible on the Cape on Saturday.
