Hello all! I hope you have enjoyed this pleasant stretch of weather that the region has been experiencing. With daytime high temperatures in the low to mid 70s and overnight temps as low as the 40s in spots; this combination has made for quite an enjoyable stretch to this late spring period.
That all changes over the coming days though. Above normal atmospheric temperatures have been gathering to the regions west and north and is finally set to overtake us for the next week or so.

Shown above are the atmospheric temperature anomalies at roughly 5,000 ft above the surface. The atmosphere’s temperature above the surface is a good indicator of potential surface temperatures in that typically the warmer the air aloft is, then the warmer the air at the surface can become.
As I set the map in motion below, you’ll notice that anomalously warm temperatures become a fixture for the region for the next 10 days or so.

Presented below are a series of meteograms which identify daily high and low temperatures for a location. All meteograms are courtesy of WeatherBell, LLC. In general, there will be a north to south gradient of temperatures with generally warmer temperatures found further north. The oceans influence can easily be seen when you compare Boston and Portland to the other locations.
