Cranking Up The Heat
Boston was just a couple of degrees shy of 70F yesterday while Worcester was just ONE degree shy of tying the record high of 77F. The temperature spread has been rather large due to the cool, onshore wind.
Today will be a few degrees warmer than yesterday, and tomorrow will be the warmest day expected throughout the next 7 days. Worcester has a great chance at breaking the record high today of 71F set back in 1921. Boston barely has a shot at beating the record high of 83F set back in 1921. Once again today, the Cape/Islands will remain cooler in the 60s while the coast will be near 70F to the middle 70s and interior locales will soar into the upper 70s to lower 80s.
On Thursday, we'll be shattering records all over the place! The record highs are...Boston: 72F in 1948 and Worcester: 76F in 1938. We will most likely break these records while basking in wall-to-wall sunshine! Clouds will thicken during the evening as a cold front near the region. A band of clouds associated with this cold front will drape the area Thursday night while traveling from northwest to southeast. These clouds will linger through Friday morning. A significant temperature drop will affect our viewing area on Friday as highs remain in the 60s and winds shift to the north-northeast.
The first weekend of Spring 2012 will be cooler, yet more seasonable. Saturday will be mostly sunny until clouds roll-in later in the day. Highs will be between 55-60F. Sunday will be cloudy, showery, and cooler with an onshore flow as highs only make it into the upper 40s and lower 50s.
More typical early Spring temperatures are going to be sticking around as we look into the near future.
