The ocean is still on the cool side in late-May, and that is tempering this week’s warm-up in a good chunk of Southeastern New England. North and west of I-95 the temperature is reaching the 80s, but it is staying in the 70s and 60s closer to the coast. The same general trend will continue for the rest of this workweek. Clouds may actually be stubborn on a day or two near the coast. It’s not unusual for the shoreline to not break out of the low clouds and fog in this type of pattern at this time of the year. It will not be too cool at night, but they’ll not be sweltering mid-summer nights, either. Lows will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s.
There is a good chance of showers on Sunday, and they may linger into early next week. After that, relatively warm and muggy air works its way back into the Northeast by mid to late next week. The pattern does not look as dry as it has been lately. That’s good news as all of Southern New England slipped into a moderate drought as of last week. Check out the video for more.
