One More Day...
Our Summer-like stretch of weather in the month of March will last one more day...and that day will be the hottest of them all. Today we saw a wide range in temps from 50s and 60s over SE Mass to 70s and even 80s over the rest of the region with the highest numbers in Northern New England. We are looking at a similar story tomorrow with mid 80s in Northern New England, sneaking as far south as the northern suburbs of Boston. An offshore wind will keep the seabreeze away again and warming will occur all the way to the coast and beaches. Fog will once again be an issue in the morning especially south of Boston and a lot of the fog that forms will be very dense and will keep SE Mass cooler than the rest of the region tomorrow as it burns off. Records will fall all across New England tomorrow, locally Boston's record of 72 and Worcester's record of 76 will be erased.
Big changes arrive tomorrow night and early Friday as a coldfront from the north sneaks through. A subtle wind shift will usher is marine air and the cooling will begin. This front should come through mainly dry but an isolated shower may pop on it...certainly not enough to subdue the brushfire threat across the region.
Over the weekend, a larger storm with lots of upper level support will spread rain from the Midwest to the East Coast. The track of the upper level low (the steering currents) will be to our south so we will be on the northern fringe of the heaviest rain...it will be a close call of whether of not we get a good soaking or not.
