SUMMARY…
\nWell here we go, from a day that will make it feel like May, to a reminder of Winter, to what will feel like permanent March. That is Spring in New England. And here we go. In the warm sector today, warmest of course away from the South Coast where a southwest wind still comes off the chilly ocean water. Showers in most areas will hold off until day’s end, except near the cooler South Coast, the area that gets the worst of the deal today. Does someone hit 70 today? I think so…but it won’t be the South Coast. Get the idea here? No big changes to the expectations tonight into Saturday as a cold front settles into the region slowly, waits for a low pressure wave to ride along it enhancing rainfall, then pulls through and offshore more rapidly later Saturday morning as low pressure moves away. Cold air comes in but not fast enough to flip rain to snow before precipitation ends. Then comes the wind for Saturday afternoon and night, into Easter Sunday, along with the cold, but dry weather. Not a great trade off considering how cold it will feel. We’ll be dealing with wind chills Saturday night. Then…it looks like we get into one of those ruts, which in Springtime are usually not great ones for this part of the country. That will be the case this time, as we end up in a cold ocean flow with high pressure to the north and low pressure to the south for many days next week. There is hope for a break somewhere in there but odds don’t favor it, so it won’t show up in this forecast for now…<\/p>\n
