Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the amazing moms across New England! We’re turning the corner quickly today as an area of low pressure pulls away from the region. Any leftover showers through early afternoon will exit with breaks of sun emerging this afternoon and clearing skies by early evening in many areas.
Some pockets of rain will linger a bit longer in central and eastern Maine, but even there, clearing will move in this evening.
Highs today will be on the cooler side — 50s across northern areas, low 60s in the south — slightly below average for mid-May. Tonight brings clear skies for many with lows either side of 40° (central and north) and 40s south.
Sunday’s weather looks absolutely beautiful. High pressure builds in, bringing clear skies and a northwest breeze.
Morning temperatures: Start in the 50s with full sunshine
Afternoon highs:
Mid to upper 60s in central and southern New England
Low 60s on Cape Cod
50s to near 60 in far northern areas
Wind: Northwest, 20–30 mph early, diminishing later in the day
Evening: Pleasant and dry for any Sunday evening plans
Sunday night may even bring a touch of frost to some of the colder North Country valleys with lows dipping into the mid-30s (we mentioned this as a possibility in Pattern Predictions on Monday!), while the rest of New England stays in the 40s.
After our sunny Sunday, we warm things up in a big way.
Monday:
Highs in the low to mid 70s across most of southern New England
60s across Maine and northern areas with a few more clouds
Breezy southwest wind, 10–20 mph
Tuesday:
Highs near or above 80° in parts of southern and central New England
Filtered sunshine thanks to high, thin cirrus clouds
60s and low 70s on Cape Cod and in Maine
A few showers may approach midweek, but we’ll keep you posted
With everything blooming and blossoming — and sunshine returning — pollen levels are expected to shoot back up after the recent rain temporarily knocked them down. Sunday into Monday will bring noticeable increases in tree and grass pollen especially, so allergy sufferers take note.
