Hope Springs Eternal
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. --Red, Shawshank Redemption.
Buried under another 4-8" of snow this morning as yet another storm takes a swipe at new England and delays the arrival of spring. The worst of the storm is behind us with the heavy snow just now shifting offshore and milder air beginning to take hold. We'll still see pockets of precipitation throughout the day but it will be in the form of sleet inland & just plain rain along the coast-south shore. Travel will be poor across the region during the entire day so allow for extra time if venturing out.
Thankfully, the storm is eager to leave so by evening (5pm) those pockets of snow,sleet & rain will shut down and only clouds will stick throughout the night. The storm is a fast mover so that means you'll hear some wind tonight--gusting from the west 15-25mph. Watch for areas of refreeze this evening & tonight.
Sunshine is back tomorrow but seasonal temps are not. Despite that powerful March sun, highs will crawl into the upper 30s---nearly 10 degrees below normal for this time of year! Another close call of a storm with an ocean storm--should be far enough away to spare us any big snow but some scattered snow showers are likely. Sunshine returns by Friday & will stick with us into the upcoming weekend.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.
Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.
Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east. Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity. It'll also be unsettled at times.

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds. As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening. Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening. Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers. These showers are brought to us by a warm front.
