DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 2-6)

After a brief shot of spring warmth late yesterday, broken by showers and thunderstorms last evening, we go back to the spring blustery chill today between approaching high pressure and departing low pressure. A lobe of instability brings clouds through the region this morning, but these will give way to sun by midday. High pressure will move into the region tonight, and while the cold hangs on for the night, we’ll lose the wind. Monday, a nice moderation in temperature takes place after a cold start, with plenty of sun. A cold front moves into the area Monday night and slows down, but it will be a weak front, producing only a few rain showers in the region, before it settles southward with a little push from a new high pressure area in eastern Canada. While Tuesday will be a somewhat mild day, it will be cooler along the coast due to an onshore wind. Low pressure is still slated to move into the Great Lakes region Wednesday and then into adjacent Canada Thursday. The warm front from this system will deliver clouds and damp weather to our area Wednesday. It looks like we will sneak into the warm sector of this low pressure area for a while on Thursday before its cold front passes through – meaning some additional unsettled weather.

TODAY: Lots of clouds passing through the region during this morning. Sunshine dominant with a few additional passing clouds this afternoon. Highs 42-49. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusty. Wind chill in the 30s.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 30-37. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusty.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 51-58. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Chance of a rain shower. Lows 41-48. Wind W up to 10 MPH shifting to N.

TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 49-56, coolest coast. Wind NE to E up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs 42-49. Wind E 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain evening. Patchy fog. Temperatures steady 42-49. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs 60-67 except 52-59 South Coast. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 7-11)

Dry April 7-9 .. starting cool/breezy behind low pressure early in the period, then moderating temperatures as high pressure slides to the south thereafter. Low pressure passes to north with warm front / cold front combo bringing some unsettled weather, changing temperatures, and shifting winds April 10-11.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 12-16)

Additional unsettled weather especially early to mid period followed by some drying. Temperatures start below normal, then moderate.

  7. Thank you, TK!

    45 in Sutton with a cool wind. Yesterday held the promise of spring with one of if not the the first warmer breezes in months.

  10. For a totally different movie experience, check out
    Level 16 on Netflix. Spoiler alert. Don’t look it up to find
    out what is happening. Figure it out. When you do, it is CHILLING!!! Nicely done and different.

    I know what they were doing was NOT good, but when I found out what they were really up to, it was a shocker.

    A low budget film, but very effective.

    1. I hope so . My College laborers are home for Easter weekend so I need Friday & Saturday dry as I have 4 jobs going pending the weather .

  18. Appears this may finally be the end of the line for the western storm train…looks like a drier pattern starting next week.

  19. Massive expansion of the Balsams resort in northern New Hampshire was approved at the local level this past week. Will be interesting to see if this actually moves forward. If their full buildout ever materializes, this would become the largest ski area in the Northeast, surpassing even Killington and Sunday River:

    1. That would be fun. Although one of our favorite trees is building buds and I’m afraid it would be quite damaged

  21. Just was out to the store. Although it is only 46, it felt rather nice out there. A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!!

    1. Sun angle.

      46 in April and 46 in November are so drastically different, even with the breeze.

  23. Thanks TK.

    A little ways out there, but definitely a solid Northeast winter storm signal for the second week of the month. All sorts of caveats this time of year obviously, but it’s a period to watch.

    Meanwhile, a lot of clean-up in the mid-Atlantic today. Several tornadoes in my former home region yesterday, piling on to the many from across the country already this year. As TK mentioned the other day, we’ve been in a multi-year tornado drought across the US, but this is looking like the year it breaks. There will be a pause after the middle of this week though. One more major outbreak on Tuesday before a Western ridge at least briefly settles in…

    1. Thanks WxWatcher! I was just looking at the signal and going “hmmmmm… one more try” … I feel we may flip the pattern to full on spring after that – maybe not a “warm” pattern really, but a non-winter-setup type pattern where we can put the shovels away, take the plows off, and say “it’s still a little too soon to open the pool though”. 😉

  24. This was an early spring beauty.

    While I’m prone to criticize Chaim Bloom, he may have found something in Adam Duvall. The guy is 8 for13 with two homers, three doubles, one triple, eight RBIs and five runs scored. It’s very early. Hot starts do not guarantee good years, But it’s promising.

    Would have preferred, however, that Bloom kept Wacha and Eovaldi. Letting them go made no sense to me, especially given how relatively poor the pitching is, with MANY uncertainties.

  25. So the Red Sox have scored 27 runs in their first 3 games (9+9+9), and have a winning record (yes I know it’s only 3 games).

    What a train wreck, right Shaughnessy? 😉

    1. Well, you can’t keep “outslugging” the opposing team all season. The pitching needs to improve to say the least. 😉

      1. Yes. I agree about the pitching. We’ll see how it goes. This team isn’t going to win the WS. They may not make the playoffs. They WILL entertain us.

    2. That was an embarrassing column that DS wrote.

      Far from a train wreck, it was an entertaining series. Sure, the Sox have deficiencies. But, as a fan I enjoy the game, the team (win or lose), and the ballpark (I think Fenway looks especially gorgeous on crisp and sunny April/May and late September/October days).

  26. Quick question: looking at the wind forecast for tomorrow, I notice that WBZ has a windy afternoon (20mph plus) forecast while WHW has a 5-15 call. Obviously these outlooks don’t have to move in lock step, but I was wondering if you still felt good about your forecast. I am hoping for low wind as it seems we have had our share lately. Thanks.

    1. I like 5-15 sustained. There will probably be gusts to or above 20 MPH starting in the mid to late afternoon hours.

    1. Tired team today – you could see it. But yet, they still found a way, despite the Blues comeback. 🙂

      1. Good teams find a way to win . If this team stays healthy ( a must ) going into playoffs, has home ice throughout, they will be a very tough team to beat , did I leave out two great goalkeepers that in my opinion should both be part of the playoff games .

        1. He won’t change a thing. They’ll go every other game in the playoffs barring injury.
