So Long Winter...
So long Winter, I'm actually a little sad to see you go following one of the warmest Winters on record. But if today is any indication of how our Spring is going to be I'll forget about Winter very quickly...another day with many towns topping out close to 80 degrees. There was a weak seabreeze that hung on for dear life along the immediate coast today that kept Logan in the 50s and 60s but just a mile or two inland the temp spiked to 80! With the exception of SE Mass tomorrow, the marine air won't be present and temps will soar again to around or slightly higher than 80. High pressure off the East Coast will continue to strengthen and a coldfront will squeeze us from the north so winds will stay offshore both tomorrow and certainly on Thursday when records will be shattered throughout the region. That will be the last of it however, that coldfront will slip through predawn on Friday morning and temps will be sliding through the 60s for the day. Unfortunately it is looking like a mainly dry frontal passage with only a few showers to alleviate our arid conditions.
Over the weekend, a surface area of low pressure with plenty of mid level support will swirl south of New England. High pressure will be hanging on through most of Saturday keeping us dry and partly sunny but the high will give way on Sunday and that swirling low will make close enough pass to give us some beneficial rain. If the upper level support continues its trend of shifting north...closer to us...then we could end up with a solid soaking!
Lastly, don't get too carried away in the gardens during this very warm stretch...there is a very good chance for frost early Tuesday morning!
