DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 9-13)
A cold and in some areas frosty morning with high pressure overhead providing clear sky and light wind. You’ll notice a better recovery than what we had yesterday as many areas reach or exceed 50 later today under abundant sunshine. High pressure settling to the south does not allow it to get as cold tonight, and pushes a further warm-up tomorrow, with many areas – away from the influence of the South Coast cooling with a southwest wind – better today’s high temps by a half dozen to one dozen degrees (many 60+ readings). This warm-up will be held up though as a cold front passes through Friday night, trailing low pressure moving across southern Canada. This front keeps Friday night quite mild but likely brings a few showers through the region, primarily overnight – i.e., the early hours of Saturday morning. Saturday’s weather will be slightly cooler and breezy, featuring sun and passing clouds as high pressure builds our way from the west. This high will sit over our region on Sunday which provides sun and light wind, but allows for the development of cooling coastal sea breezes, and they are quite notable at this point in the season when the water temps are still mainly in the 40s. So, if you’re afternoon walk is along the coastline on Sunday, be ready for that chill. You’ll also notice an increase in high to mid level clouds as Sunday goes on, ahead of an approaching warm front. This front goes by at night and may produce brief light rain, setting up a warmer day Monday with a southwesterly air flow ahead of an approaching cold front. That front may have limited moisture to work with, however, and the shower chance is likely to be limited while clouds may be abundant. Also keep in mind that a southwesterly air flow will once again keep the South Coast cooler than the remainder of the region.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59 except 45-52 South Coast. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 38-45. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 45-52. Wind variable under 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sun eventually gives way to clouds. Highs 53-60 coast, 60-67 inland. Wind variable up to 10 MPH with coastal sea breezes.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. A shower possible. Highs 48-55 Nantucket / Martha’s Vineyard, 55-62 South Coast, 63-70 most other areas except 66-73 interior valleys. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 14-18)
Warmer weather hangs on to start the period April 14. Watching high pressure in eastern Canada to send a push of cooler air this way by the middle to latter portion of next week. May be an interruption or two with unsettled weather but the majority of the time looks precipitation-free. Elevated brush fire risk likely.
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 19-23)
Overall pattern looks variable in temperature but on the drier side. Details to be determined.
Thanks TK !
Thick frost, as expected.
Wordle: 4
Nice 4 Tom.
Nice 4!! Heavy frost here too.
Good morning and thank you TK

WORDLE: 2
Hoping to go fishing in the next few days as my favorite spots have been freshly stocked with rainbow trout.
Really rolling on Wordle, JpDave ! I can’t wait to see where you the train today.
Glad to hear your favorite spots are stocked, beautiful weather upcoming to get out there. Good luck !!
Thank you. I’LL be joined by at least one other in the engineering department. 🙂
I meant compartment. Oh well.
Funny how the fingers sometimes type what they want and ignore the brain.
LOL, I think I read your initial department as compartment, because it sounded correct 🙂
Wow. Amazing 2.
I had three guesses at midnight and wordle shut down with a this page not available message. I’m currently battling with nyt so thought it shut me down. I signed up for $4/mo for a year in December. This month they charged Me 25.
But I just saw fb posts from others who lost access too
Outstanding!!
Amazing JPD!!!

How’s Augusta weather looking this week
Wordle 3, one car back
Nice 3. Have you bee fishing yet?
Well done, TJammer!!!
Superb !
Nicely done!
I will join you in car 3!
Great 3 Sue !
Wordle 4. May I please join you, Tom
Nice 4.
Welcome aboard ! 🙂
Is there room for another passenger in the 4-car?
Nice. I thought that you might be one of the ones to get it in 2.
It will be The Good Doctor or Sue. 🙂
Always. Welcome to 4!!
MA Drought Map showing improvement over last week.
https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?MA
There is some fire risk today west of Boston and the pollen count today will be high.
That’s about to reverse.
The water temps off the west coast of Florida are only around 70. Very slow to warm after there cold winter. Probably 3-5 degrees below Normal the same as us up here.
39F and going with an over / under of 51F.
47 here. Going with 58 here for the over / under and I would adjust yours to 48. 🙂 Expect wind off of the ocean at your location.
Just my humble opinion.
I got a kick out of the front page of today’s Boston Herald:
IT’S A MIRACLE
Sox win 2 in a row for first time this season
Along with a photo of 3 players in the outfield hugging each other as if they “won it all”.
Well, winning 2 in a row is certainly better than losing them.
BUT, this team as currently constituted is going NOWHERE!!!
Boston media will never change. I know how much this and Boston fans can undermine the confidence of even the best.
Thanks TK
Thank you TK!
Wordle: 3
Nice 3. I thought you might be joining me in the 2 car.
Perhaps the Good Doctor?
Nice Sue!!
49 here. Getting there. Long way to go to hit my over/under.
Looks like It won’t make it, but there is plenty of time of string sunshine, so we shall see.
Thank you, TK!! Car thermometer which is quite good says 50 in Uxbridge.
Re: Boston Herald.
Stupid headline. They’re not “The Onion”.
And this players are not allowed to do that after a win?
I can guarantee you they were not acting like they “won it all”.
Agree.
Thanks, TK!
50 degrees at 11:20, more than double from this morning’s low of 22! Brrr.
Day 131 today Captain, getting there …… slowly, lol. 🙂
Today’s amount of sunshine and sun declination angle is the same as September 2nd. Yes, we have made it back that far.
Technically, the sun is a little stronger today than it will be on Sept 2nd, as we are 93.1 million miles away vs 93.7 million miles away on Sept 2nd (aphelion is in early July)
Yet, much more solar radiation is hitting the ground in early Sept. Think about how much of the April solar radiation is being reflected back to space due to snow and ice cover.
We’re up to 55 here. Beautiful day!!!
Logan is 50 with ESE wind at 12 coming in off of that 40 degree Atlantic!!
Beverly is only at 45
56 here. Spectacular day
And my Freddie is -2 so far today
What is a Freddie??????
53 here.
As for the Red Sox, to their credit they do have a little more “respectable” record now at 4-8 as well as two shutouts already in this young season. Off the top of my head, I don’t believe they have been shut out themselves as of yet. I may very well be wrong though.
All the scores are on a calendar here.
https://www.mlb.com/redsox/schedule/
From what I can tell, the first 9 days of April are missing.
57.4 here, almost to my over/under.
57. 8 here. Will anyone give me the 58?? 🙂
It will probably go up a bit more in the next hour or so. We shall see.
Wind shifted to the South at Logan and they shot up to 57.
We are 60 and windows are open
Down to 57.5
Looks like we topped out at 58.
LongShot how did you do?

Beautiful today !
I do find the dps still silly low. It feels milder, but not as mild as it would feel, at the same temps, if the dps were in the 40s or 50s. But, here, in the Arctic, we’ll take it 🙂
I think today is an example of why many in New England understandably struggle when the dps get over 65F.
Because that’s maybe only 9-10 weeks away and yet, we’re still dealing with 15F dps. It’s such a large change.
The temperature may be 53 here, but am I glad that I wore my winter coat and knit hat. With the brisk wind it felt decent in the sun but still chilly in the shade. Nevertheless I had a very nice walk.
Today “may” be my last day of the winter coat. It depends on any future sea breezes off the chilly Atlantic.
You’ll need it again.
I hiked in Mason, NH today. It was a stunning day!
🙂
The Boston Bruins can clinch a playoff spot tonight if the Columbus Blue Jackets lose in regulation (get zero points in their game against the Buffalo Sabres) and the New York Islanders lose in any fashion (regulation, OT, shoot-out, i.e., get only one point maximum in their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs).
I’d bet on the first one happening. I would not bet on the second one tonight. But we’ll see how it goes.
