Too Cold for the Cold Crop Veggies...
Chilly winds will let up later tonight and diurnal cumulus will melt away leading to ideal radiational cooling conditions and temps in the 20s and lower 30s by morning across all of Eastern and Central Mass. So, if you are like me, and wanted to get a jump on the garden you will need to cover up the cold crop veggies and early season annuals that are in the ground. High pressure will crest over the region tomorrow so a lighter wind day and the light gradient with interior warming will lead to a seabreeze in the afternoon for the coast so highs will be near 50 there and mid to upper 50s for inland locals...a much warmer feeling day despite the seabreeze! Sun will mix with some cirrus creating a milky appearance at times.
Over the weekend, a warmfront with a wave along it will pass through on Saturday, this means rain...and mostly cold rain too. The heaviest will be centered around midday. The coldfront will pass through Saturday night but it won't get far it will likely stall in our coastal waters. Therefore clouds and showers will be possible on Easter Sunday but if we get showers they should be later in the day. So most of Easter Sunday will turn out fine...or at least rain-free!
A couple of tidbits for you...The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a cluster of thunderstorms in the Atlantic...there is a small chance that this wave could become a depression...the first of the 2011 season.
And, there should be very good viewing for the Lyrid Meteor Shower early tomorrow morning, have a look!
