April will go in the books as slightly cooler than normal with about 50% of the normal precipitation in Southeastern New England. The relatively dry month alleviated any flooding concerns in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts after the snowy winter.
May will begin with a very cool day on Friday, but most of the first half of the month will feature near to above normal temperatures in the Northeast. It looks warm inland early next week before a front threatens with showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday. The rest of the workweek looks dry and seasonably warm.
There are no major storms in the forecast for the next 10-14 days. The early outlook for May is for drier than normal weather in the first half of the month. There may be another surge of relatively warm weather late in Mother’s Day weekend and early the following week.
