It’s looking like a cool day, then warming up through the end of the week, with a cooler weekend on tap at the moment, but these things change. There are signs of green, and signs that the Red Sox might be an okay team after all.

Today: Mostly sunny and breezy. Highs in the mid 50s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight: Mainly clear. Lows in the mid 30s. North winds 5 to 10 mph, becoming light from the east.

Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers. Highs in the mid to upper 50s. Winds becoming south 10 to 20 mph, gusting to 30 mph.

Extended Forecast:
Thursday Night: Mostly cloudy. Breezy and mild, with scattered showers. Lows 47 to 51.
Friday: Windy and unseasonably mild. Good chance for showers, and chance of a thunderstorm. Highs in the mid to upper 60s to lower 70s.
Friday Night: Cloudy with showers likely. Lows 43 to 47.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy with widely scattered showers. Highs 52 to 56.
Saturday Night: Becoming partly cloudy. Lows 31 to 35.
Sunday: Mostly sunny. Highs 53 to 57.

Forecast Discussion: The area is coming under the influence of high pressure, although we’re on its southern periphery. The center of the high will drift eastward today, from the James Bay across central Québec. Whatever sunshine we get will be somewhat counteracted by a cool northwesterly breeze that will become a bit more northerly as the day progresses. A cool night will follow as the winds subside. Exactly how cool depends on how fast the high clouds start to build in ahead of the next low pressure system, currently organizing over the panhandle of Texas. If not late tonight, then by tomorrow morning high clouds will be overspreading the region ahead of this system’s warm front. Some scattered showers will also be possible tomorrow in association with the warm frontal passage. Unseasonably mild weather will follow for tomorrow night and Friday, as strong southerly winds pump the warmer air in. It will be warm, showery and windy on Friday, before the system’s cold front brings cooler weather for the weekend.
