DAYS 1-5 (MARCH 29 – APRIL 2)
We’re still immersed in an early spring cold-snap today, but we’ll be seeing it come to an end soon after one more gusty and chilly day today, albeit with more sun than yesterday, and one cold night tonight. Clouds move in Wednesday ahead of a warm front from a low pressure system heading for the Great Lakes. The low will move through the Northeast Wednesday night through Friday. Precipitation generated by the approaching warm front can be in the form of snow and/or sleet Wednesday night as the atmosphere will still be cold. Eventually, the warm front should push through on Thursday, but the low’s cold front should not be that far behind and will bring rain showers as it moves in from the west later Thursday and Thursday night, into early Friday before it pushes offshore. Friday itself will still be fairly mild ahead of a secondary cold front which will usher in cooler and drier air for the start of the weekend.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 36-43. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, diminishing late.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 19-26. Wind N diminishing to under 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 37-44. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of snow/sleet/rain. Lows 30-37. Wind NE-E up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely, especially late-day. Highs 50-57. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 43-50. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to W.
FRIDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Chance of rain showers. Highs 55-62. Wind W 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 33-40. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusty.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 52-59. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusty.
DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 3-7)
Fair weather dominates April 3-5 though a weak disturbance may bring some clouds and brief rain around April 4. Better chance for unsettled weather toward the end of the period (middle of next week).
DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 8-12)
Early and late period stand better chances of unsettled weather in a somewhat active pattern. Temperatures near to below normal.

Down to 18 here in JP this morning.
Fairly chilly for 3/29.
Thanks TK. Logan’s high of 33 was hit at 12:32pm yesterday.
Made it to 33 here in JP as well.
Thanks, TK.
A person I know who’s a biotech journalist just tweeted this picture from the Himalayas. He is climbing Mt. Everest as part of a cancer drug development fund-raiser. https://twitter.com/ldtimmerman/status/1508732825377271810
Spectacular photo. Good luck to him.
Thanks TK.
Thanks TK.
Thank you, TK.
Funny how yesterday’s GFS snow event for 4/11 is now gone.
Still some activity around that time period, so we shall see. 🙂
Thanks TK

It worked this time 🙂
Anyhow, sun is very active.
One sunspot lined up with earth, another in the lower left southern hemisphere will rotate to be lined up with earth in a few days.
These are probably bigger, if not multiple times bigger than earth.
This is very cool. Thank you, Tom.
Great shot! Thanks
Does anyone know what happened to Mish Michaels? She was very charismatic and likeable on TV. It bothers me that someone younger than I am who was so vibrant is suddenly gone…
Her family, to the best of my knowledge, has not released the cause of her death.
If one searches the topic on the internet, there is some info that speculates on relating her death to another incident that occurred in our general local area.
There’s nothing to confirm it.
I found the tributes to Mish Michaels by Terry Eliason and another by Blue Hill Organization helped me to focus on all that she accomplished.
Tom, I did the same. I can repost those tributes if anyone would like. My prayers are for her family and that she is at peace.
From what I read and found, unfortunately it appears she took her own life. Very sad, please ask and get help. Lots of great people out there ready to help.
Oh No. That is so very sad. I hope it is not so.
Re: Mish.
I’ve definitely tried to focus on remembering the good aspects of her despite the sadness of her being gone so young.
The rumor is it was suicide because they never released the name of the woman killed by the train the same week her family announced her passing, and the authorities saying they suspected the train death was a suicide. I guess based on that I can understand why people would assume it was her – but out of respect for the family’s wishes for privacy and them basically saying they were not ready to talk about the cause, other than this paragraph and one other reply to somebody, I have not brought up the rumor. We’ll know for sure when they want us to.

Two years ago today, March 29 2020…
Woods Hill, Woburn.
Warning, should you choose to watch (or re-watch this), the house is struck directly by lightning at 1:48 of the video. It is sudden and extremely loud.

Wow!
Very strange `discussion’ happening on Twitter regarding Celsius and Fahrenheit, and which is the better scale.
Some are resorting to circular arguments like this:
“Fahrenheit is the better metric for discussing temperature as it relates to weather, because it’s more easily relatable to how humans feel in that weather.”
That was an actual tweet. Apart from its circularity, there’s also a peculiar provincialism here. Believe me, Celsius is quite “relatable to how humans feel in that weather” when you’ve grown up with that scale, OR (in my case) when you move to anywhere outside the U.S. and get accustomed to the C scale. Of course, this applies to Fahrenheit as well, and to people moving to the U.S. and getting accustomed to the F scale.
I’ve heard from meteorologists that the smaller increments on the F scale can be useful, particularly when you’re in the vicinity of 32F or 0C. When it’s 33F it’s above freezing, yet, the weather forecast in, say, Canada, may denote 0C.
The F scale provides more numbers to use as reference to comfort.
The C scale, while neat and clean, has larger space between whole numbers and therefore significantly limits the amount of digits used to reference comfort / feeling.
It really comes down to which one you were “brought up” with, sort of like British Units for measurement, based on kings’ feet & fingers, or noses, or whatever it is. 😉
I’m sticking with the Réaumur scale:
