The Sun Is Back!

High pressure is taking over!  

Sunshine returns today after the morning fog lifts between 8-9am.  We will have afternoon clouds building as 500mb energy sweeps across the area.  Also, we cann expect gusty WNW winds today reaching 40+mph at times.  Highs will be in the middle 50s.  The sunshine will stick around through Friday with highs in the middle 50s (cooler coast).  However, the 2-day dry streak ends Saturday. 

Watch Melissa's forecast:

Easter Weekend:  Showers are likely starting late-morning Saturday from a warm front while a cold/occluded front will continue the chance of rain through the evening and into Saturday night.  

Highs will be around the lower to middle 50s. Easter Sunday is going to be tricky. The GFSx model shows a surface high pushing the cold front far enough south that we'd manage to squeeze out a dry day with more clouds/few showers possible across southeastern Mass. 

However, the EURO still shows the front a little closer to our backyards.  So at the moment, I think that most of the day will be dry with a cloud/sun mix. 

However, if the front doesn't push far enough south, there could be a light afternoon shower.  Temperatures are also a tough call.  In general, the highs should be in the upper 50s to near 60F.  We'll keep fine tuning the weekend forecast.

Melissa :)
