DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 30 -APRIL 3)

This next-to-last day of March will be a nice one, courtesy an area of high pressure. And even though the final day of the month is going to be cloudier, it will be milder, and really not that bad, as it looks like most of the rainfall from an approaching frontal system / low pressure area will hold off until evening and nighttime. This is the system that raised the question of baseball or no baseball at Fenway on Thursday April 1, and whether or not the rain may end mixed with a bit of wet snow or leave behind a few showers or flurries. Not 100% sure on either of those yet, and the forecast is basically the same as yesterday’s was at this point. It will turn quite cool for the first couple days of April – that much we do know for sure. High pressure moves over or even just south of the region allowing moderation by the start of the weekend.

TODAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Late-day rain showers possible. Highs 60-67 except 50s South Coast. Wind S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Widespread rain showers. Lows 46-53. Wind S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers ending during the morning, possibly mixed with snow. Temperatures steady 46-53 early then falling to the upper 30s. Wind shifting to NW 10-20 MPH increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 15-25 MPH and gusty.

FRIDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 40-47. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32. Wind W under 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 53-60. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 4-8)

Large scale blocking pattern. The overall setup is one that should keep us on the drier side with no major storminess having direct impact on our region. Temperatures are likely to trend cooler during April 4-6 but may briefly moderate around April 7 or 8 depending on what side of a boundary we sit on.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 9-13)

Larger scale blocking pattern may keep it on the cooler side of normal but with limited unsettled weather as we may remain in a drier part of the block. Hints that that block may weaken or try to reset later in the period and it may turn more unsettled at that time – but details that far out aren’t going to be known.

      1. Usually it is morning reading, and usually by the time I am awake (I live on the West Coast) several people have read and commented already. Had a touch of insomnia last night, hence the comment being first, but not during my “morning”.

  4. Good morning and thank you, TK.

    Keep the frost nights coming so we can wipe out the bumper crop of mosquitoes that seems to have appeared……please!

  8. For the “baseball or no baseball” question, since right now it looks like the rain ends by early afternoon, they could likely get the game in with a bit of a delay. However, since they have Friday off, and Friday looks to have no issues other than it will be chilly (but so will Thursday), I think there’s a very good chance they call it Wednesday night or first thing Thursday morning and postpone to Friday.

  9. Thank you, TK!

    I’m also hoping for some more frost to limit the insect proliferation. Last year’s drain fly infestation was `traumatic.’

    1. I don’t how, but last year I saw a drain fly in the bathroom sink for the 1st time in 46 years I have lived in this house.

            1. Those types of flies make occasional appearances from floor drains even of some of the cleanest places. A dose of bleach right down the drain will eliminate the problem.

  11. I’m not very optimistic about Thursday’s baseball weather. If I’m to place a bet, I’d say that game will be Friday under a mostly cloudy sky with a gusty wind, chilly air, but no precipitation.

  12. Last year at this time there was the emerging pandemic, and an epidemic of drain flies in my building; in 4 units. It lasted most of the spring and summer. TK is correct that bleach will kill them [also Trump’s solution for coronavirus]. Yet, once they’ve set up shop in different places besides drains it’s tough to eradicate them. The 4 garden level apartments in my building finally got rid of the last drain flies – or mutant versions of drain flies – in fall, around the time of the first frost. The drain flies originally came in from outside. They were/are living in basement window wells and the courtyard drains outdoors. Winter kills off the outdoor insects, and so once you’ve taken care of the inside ones the problem is gone … until spring. I know they’ll be back. I’m prepared for their counterattack this time, as I’ve built a Maginot line of sorts.

  13. Winter storm watches have been hoisted across parts of New York state. There will be some very heavy snow across the Adirondacks, but also in lower-lying places. And once again parts of Quebec will see a winter storm. Doubt it will be the last one this season. Looks like that part of the world will be tapping into a cold pool of air for a while.

      1. Thursday is day 3…
        I’m referring to their 6-14 period.
        Just not sold on the probability of mild…
