Shattering Records...Left & Right!
Spring arrived at 1:14 a.m. Tuesday!
That being said, our high temperatures for many cities and towns have been more on par with average high temps for mid-summer. Monday was a record breaker once again for Boston at 74 and Worcester at 78!

A backdoor cold front will swing northward this morning as a warm front. Winds will reach 5-10 mph from the southwest by midday.
Regardless of colder morning lows in the 30s and 40s, today will challenge daily records again.
It's going to be a sunny day with 12 hours and 10 minutes of daylight.
Inland neighborhoods will climb as as high as the middle 70s to near 80. The coast will hover in the 60s, and the Cape/Islands will stay cooler in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
We can continue to add-on a few degrees for high temperatures each day through Thursday.
Today and Wednesday may be record-breakers for cities and towns away from the coast (i.e. Worcester).
Most of us will break records on Thursday!
There will be patchy fog developing south of the Mass Pike Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Otherwise, sunshine will prevail.
A cold front will bring about a drastic temperature drop as we 'switch' airmasses.
This cold front will increase clouds late-day Thursday with a slight chance of a spot shower or isolated thunderstorm Thrusday evening and Thursday night, mainly north and west of Boston.
Friday will end out with highs in the lower to middle 60s with breezy north-northeast winds. These highs are still above the average high temperatures in the upper 40s.
The 1st weekend of Spring 2012 will be more seasonal.
It will be partly cloudy on Saturday with highs in the middle 50s. Sunday will be cooler with highs in the lower 50s with mostly cloudy skies and a chance of showers.
Happy Spring!
