DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 6-10)
We will start this week on the chilly side of normal as an upper level trough moves across the Northeast from west to east through Tuesday. Today we’ll be in a northwesterly air flow behind the low that brought us a frontal system and some wet weather yesterday, and it will be dry and breezy with a sun / cloud mix. Tonight and Tuesday, a surface disturbance will cross the region under the upper trough, bringing unsettled weather in the form of rain showers that can mix with sleet and / or snow in some locations. Behind this, and as the upper trough begins its exit, high pressure builds in with dry, cool weather Wednesday, before the high slides offshore and allows a warm up with continued fair weather later this week. Current timing of the next front looks slow enough so that it does not have an impact on Friday.
TODAY: Sun / cloud blend with sun dominant morning and clouds dominant afternoon. Highs 46-53. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, some higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Showers of snow and sleet possible overnight. Lows 28-35. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A good chance of rain showers that can be mixed with sleet and snow at times. Highs 42-49. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 24-31. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 43-50. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 53-60 except 46-53 South Coast. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 63-70 except 55-62 South Coast and 48-55 Cape Cod / Islands. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 11-15)
Back into a pattern where a frontal boundary will be oscillating back and forth across our region with current timing suggesting the cool side April 11, 13, and 15, the warmer side on the other two days. General pattern looks dry with limited moisture to work with even with a front in the vicinity.
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 16-20)
Overall pattern looks similar with up-and-down temperatures and limited unsettled weather chances.

Thanks TK !
Wordle: 5
Weather wise: I like things starting Wednesday afternoon 🙂
Nice 5 Tom
Agree, after wed, looks a little better at least. We shall see. Would like to see Canadian snow pack gone!!!!
Nice 5, Tom.
Wordle 5 for me also
Good morning and thank you TK
41 here
Ocean: 40
WORDLE: 4
I thought I had it in 3 when the 1stc4 letters were green. Of course I selected the wrong last letter! 4th guess with a different last letter yielded the solution.
Rain yesterday was not nearly as bad as I expected. Temperature was fine.
Hope to get fishing soon. Waiting for my area to be stocked. Have to squeeze it in between My son’s birthday and my wife’s birthday.
Great job, JpDave !
Thank you.
Nice!
I got it in 4 too.
Yay! Welcome aboard the 4 car. Drinks will be served momentarily.
Exact same
Please join us. Well done.
Awesome 4s !!!
Awesome, JPD. I did the same with all but second letter for guess 3. Lots of choices with this one.
So 4 as well? Welcome and well done.
No 5

Thanks TK
Thanks, TK.
And thanks for posting the cantata video! I’ve watched about the first half and enjoyed it.
Oh gosh. Thank you for the reminder. It was a busy day so I didn’t have a chance to watch. I will this am
Just finished it. Bravi tenors!
Thank you, TK. We are at 39 from 44 just after midnight. We had 0.18 rain yesterday.
Thank you TK!
Wordle: 3, but I don’t feel like driving today so I am joining the rest of you in cars 4 and 5.
Outstanding!!!
Awesome, Sue!!!
Superb, Sue !
Up to a whopping 45 here.
47
destined for 51 or 52. We shall see.
48, really slow rising today.
Thanks, TK!
47F.
Made it to 50F.
Through its first 5 days, April is off to its warmest start in 16 years. This follows a milder and drier than average March.
Spring is off to it’s nicest start in a long time around here.
Sure doesn’t seem like it. It seems as trashy as another SPring.
Although I did get a sense that March was a bit warmer than average.
I agree with you JPD. Yesterday Easter Sunday was not nice at all. Very depressing looking on such a religious holiday. I always look forward to bright sunshine on that day much like snow cover on Christmas Day.
You don’t judge the season by individual days. I’m talking about averages.
March was warmer and drier than average.
April is off to its warmest start in 16 years.
Both of these are indisputable facts. 🙂
I sat out during the egg hunt with just a moderate weight top. We had the egg hunt in before rain and drizzle. We were with most of our family . No complaints here.
It is off to a very good start, but Saturday and I think another day does distort a bit on how mild/warm it’s been.
For example, the high at Logan on Saturday was 62F because just after midnight, it was 62F, yet we know when most were awake, the temp was falling through the 40s and eventually into the upper 30s. So, a slight overstatement is in play, as it is in most springs, when comparing the technical numbers vs the daytime numbers.
And at least down here, even this afternoon is turning out nicer than I thought it would be.
I don’t like the high and low for the day and divide by 2.
I would MUCH prefer take 24 hourly readings and divide by 24. That would give a much better representation of the average temperature for the day. Certainly would take care of your complaint.
Interesting.
Makes too much sense to ever happen.
We’re at 49, although Logan has made 50.
We topped at 48
Not sure how many are familiar with the much photographed and painted view of Mt Chocorua along NH Rt 16 in what I think may be tamworth. We stopped to enjoy the bird every time we headed to North Conway.
I’m having fun with my Apple Watch bands and added a birch tree and cardinal band now that Easter has passed. My watch face is the view of chocorua.

Is that during fall season?
Looks to be. We’d head that way summer and winter
Climbed that one day. Fairly easy and enjoyable climb. Pretty cool rocks and views at the top.
I remembered you had climbed. Views had to be spectacular
A familiar view driving up Rte 16. I have hiked it a few times as well though it has been probably 10 years now. Very rocky and not a lot of room at the top with some precipitous drop offs on the sides. And not sure I would quite classify it as an “easy” climb!
I didn’ find anything difficult. MUCH easier than mt. Washington or mt. Lafayette.
Of course that was 50+ years ago.
Well, agree with that – if you are comparing to the higher peaks of the Presidentials, then not as difficult or long (and the summit elevation at 3500′ isnt as high). But the trailhead elevation is also much lower so it is still a lot of vertical (and about a 7 mile/6 hour round trip hike).
I believe my son has hiked a few times. And it sure is a familiar site. Birch trees always bring back memories of my dad.
Do you know if the birches are still there?
Just made 50 here. It’s a heat wave, NOT!
With the wind, it feels pretty chilly out there.
We went up to 49. Back to 48

Been reading a bit lately about the ENSO / Super El Nino for 2026. At this point, some of it reads like sensationalism with much higher than normal temps well on their way. Not saying I believe this but it is out there for all to read.
We’ve only been tracking ENSO accurately for a handful of decades. I don’t even like the term Super El Nino. It’s El Nino and it has an intensity scale. We don’t need to juice up the wording. That IS sensationalism and it’s not necessary. How come there isn’t a Super La Nina? Yep. Media doing media things. The thing that includes warmth or heat is always emphasized over the opposite.
Same thing happened with the “heat dome” (which by the way is also inaccurately called a heat dome) in the winter in the Southwest. It was a a persistent ridge and a very warm, dry pattern. Meanwhile, they said virtually nothing about the coldest winter since the early 1900s in much of western Canada and Alaska. I despise cherry-picked information. Include EVERYTHING relevant. And believe me, both of those are relevant.
Been snowing consistently on and off today on the various Jay Peak webcams:
https://jaypeakresort.com/resort/photo-day
A few inches possible up there in the next 24 hours which if it happens, would push them to 400″ of snow on the season.
I just realized that today was the April blizzard of 1982. I believe 13 inches fell in Boston.
April 6-7, 1982 ❄️
13.3 inches.
Had 16 inches here.
The remarkable thing about it was that it was powder snow with a lot of drifting.
On April 6th, Boston’s early-day high was 36 after which it fell into the 20s for the storm, with a low of 22 that evening.
On April 7th, Boston’s low was 16 and high was 25, which was 24.9 degrees below normal for the date.
Ironically, the temperature for the entire month of April 1982 was only -0.4 for a departure, due to some nice warm weather in addition to some bouts of cold.
