Too many of these previews and once the real thing gets here we’ll already be bored with it (well maybe not everybody).<\/p>\n
After another very warm day in much of the region, a back-door cold front has arrived to drop temperatures in east coastal areas of southern New England. Boston, as of 5PM, has seen a temperature drop of 20 degrees from its high of 74, down to 54. The boundary has pushed inland some, with temperatures cooling down there as well from highs in the 70s and lower 80s, the 2nd day in the current stretch of this preview of summer. And other than this minor interruption this evening and early tomorrow in eastern sections, we’ll get right back to the warmth again by later Tuesday and certainly for Wednesday-Thursday as high pressure builds over the region. The warmest day does now appear that it will be Thursday as all areas should have a land breeze. Many locations will be around 80 on Wednesday and most will surpass it on Thursday. One item of note for Thursday, a southwest wind coming across Long Island Sound, where relatively cooler water is, may create enough of a boundary in parts of RI and southeastern MA including Cape Cod to fire off some showers and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon. It is a low probability, but should not be ignored.<\/p>\n
By Friday, a cold front from the north will introduce cooler air, which will continue to be reinforced through the weekend. We’ll have to watch some unsettled weather approaching from the west as well over the weekend, which will certainly not be as grand as the next few days. But after all, it is March, and eventually normalcy will try to return. Looking ahead, at least the first half of next week looks much cooler than this week will be.<\/p>\n
And the current weather pattern rendering the following information pretty much unimportant, but Spring begins Tuesday morning at 1:14AM, the Vernal Equinox, when the sun is directly over the Equator on its trip into the northern hemisphere.<\/p>\n
