DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 30 – APRIL 3)
A strong cold front moved through the region with some rain and snow showers overnight, but now we’re just in a blustery and chilly air mass for today, but with plenty of sunshine. It’s going to feel more like late-season football weather for the start of the baseball season at Fenway Park today! High pressure drifts overhead tonight and winds drop off, allowing for quite the cold night. Clouds advance Friday ahead of an approaching warm front that will bring a rainy Friday night our way, but this may start as sleet for some due to lingering cold air. The warm front will move through and set us up for a windy, warmer but frequently wet Saturday with rain showers. As low pressure passes to our north, it will drag a cold front through Saturday evening with a few last rain showers and maybe even a thunderstorm around with the front’s passage, setting us up for a breezy, cool Sunday, but with the return of dry weather. High pressure will build in for continued dry but more tranquil weather with less wind by Monday.
