After a dismal week we are in for a great weekend...we all deserve it!

A week in the clouds has most craving sunshine and warmer temperatures. Both are on the docket for the weekend but it won't come instantly...gradual improvements are on the way.
The most common question I got today was when will we see the sun again...the good news is we are half way through this gloomy stretch...the bad news is we are half way through this gloomy stretch.
It's only day two of the gloom and many are already asking when the sun is coming back.
The solid soaking has wrapped up with most seeing between .50" and .75"...a nice watering for all the lawns and gardens.
It's been about a week since our last solid dose of rain, we due for another and we'll see it that round tomorrow.
We are heading into another weekend and all in all it's going to be a good one...at least it will be dry and sun-filled both weekend days.
A couple of waves of rain will move through tonight as strong coldfront works through New England.
It is still that time of year when sunshine makes all the difference on the way a day feels. When the sun was behind a cloud today and that wind blew, it was downright chilly. Conversely, when the sun was out it felt great and going jacketless worked.
I haven't been that happy about rain in a long time...especially on a weekend too nonetheless.
The feel of Summer will return tomorrow before we finally see some wet weather later in the weekend.
A typical Spring chill returned to the region today as temperatures dropped from the 80s over the last couple of days back into the 50s today and without the sun late in the afternoon it actually felt kind of cold.

The Month of March was one of the warmest on record with temperatures averaging 8.4 degrees above normal but so far this month April has been "cooler" with temperatures averaging 2.8 degrees above normal.
