Boston: Mother's Day Warmth to Follow Unsettled Saturday

After spotty showers and thunderstorms affect Boston into Saturday night, some sunshine will appear for mom on Sunday.
A slow-moving storm affecting the Central states much of this week will pick up some forward speed this weekend.
As moisture with the storm system drifts in on Saturday, there is the potential for locally heavy showers and thunderstorms and the corresponding travel delays and disruptions to outdoor activities.

However, the rainfall will be sign that some warmer air is trying to work into the region.
A small area of high pressure should be just strong enough to allow dry air to mix down from aloft and break up clouds and prevent shower activity in the Northeast on Sunday.

With more of a westerly flow of air, chilly air from the Atlantic Ocean will be shut off. Temperatures will climb well into the 70s and could touch 80 F in some locations through Monday.
Thus far this year at Boston Logan International Airport, the warmest it has been was 75 F on April 14. The pattern early next week is likely to bring the warmest weather since last October.
A back door cool front may sag southward and cut into the warmth by Tuesday.

BTW not bashing the Canadian global model, it often sees things other models don't. Sometimes that's a good thing, but not so good today.
