DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 9-13)

It’s a cold morning, but a bright day awaits. After morning lows sub-freezing through most of the region, we’ll recover back to 40+, still quite below normal for the date, along with a breeze that will add some chill, though counteracted a bit by the early April sun. One thing that will be above normal today: fire danger. It is fire season in our region now, peaking during the time just before the main tree leaf-out takes places, and especially high on dry, breezy days, when last year’s expired vegetation is vulnerable. Use caution with or avoid using outdoor flames or things that can cause sparks, if possible. After today’s nice weather today, we’ll see clouds increase tomorrow ahead of a warm front as high pressure moves offshore. It will stay dry during the day, but at night, a burst of moisture will move in. Enough cold air will be around that precipitation, falling as rain in the coastal plain, can be mixed with or even fall as a period of wet snow inland, especially higher elevation locations near and north of I-90. This exits Friday morning and clouds will thin out somewhat as some dry air battles the cloud deck. The result is that many of Friday’s daylight hours will be precipitation-free with even a bit of sunshine possible. The clouds thicken up ahead of a more organized low pressure area down the coast that will wheel its way north northeast, delivering a wet day on Saturday. This can linger into Sunday, especially in eastern areas, as a follow-up low center moves by the region. It may slide far enough east for later Sunday improvement, but that’s a wildcard at this point, and I’ll monitor trends.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 44-51. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 25-32. Wind light variable.

THURSDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 51-58, coolest coast. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain except mix and wet snow possible interior sections mainly near and north of I-90. Lows 40-47. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 50-57, coolest coast. Wind SE to E up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT / SATURDAY / SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Temperatures decline to 43-50 then remain steady. Wind E 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas.

SUNDAY: Cloudy with periods of rain and areas of fog / drizzle morning. Breaking clouds afternoon. Highs 45-52. Wind variable to N 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 14-18)

A brief shot of milder air early next week before a cold front brings a cool shot of air by mid to late week. This looks like an overall drier weather period with just a brief rain shower possible with the passing cold front April 15 and perhaps another minor system at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 19-23)

Hints of split flow pattern with weak systems both north and south of our region, but have to watch systems to the south for enough northward movement for unsettled weather here.

  1. Good morning and thank you TK

    chilly 28 here this morning. Is it April? or still March?

    Still waiting for some decent weather and I don’t mean a very occasio al nice day.

    1. These are the worst with cold and wet baseball games, unfortunately my son didn’t make the varsity team and they don’t have a JV team. So he’s one of 4 practice squad kids so it’s even worse for him lol.

      I can manage cold and sunny in April.

  8. Did everyone see TK’s Solar Eclipse Chronicle ?

    Upper left of this page, look for recent posts, its the middle one.

  9. Impressive cold. I am at 32.7 at 9:30 on April 9th. Not sure my memory serves me well but don’t remember many recent April’s with such a cold morning and early start.

  12. 28 when I woke up.
    Beautiful sunrise! 🙂 The sunrise is just about the same time that it was when we changed the clocks in March.

  13. Glad I wasn’t at Fenway last night. from the game recap on The Athletic:

    “According to Baseball-Reference, at 35 degrees, it marked the third-coldest first-pitch temperature recorded for a game at Fenway Park. The coldest first pitch logged was 34 degrees on both April 15, 2018, and April 17, 2003.”

    1. CLEARLY, NOT baseball weather. The sport was NOT designed to be played in 35 degree weather. INSANITY!!!!

    2. It would have been worth it if the Sox had won, but they didn’t. They’re starting to spiral a bit. Hope they turn it around before their road trip.

      1. Yes, with less than 10% of the schedule played, 2 losses after a 5-game winning streak means that they are “starting to spiral”. With only 150 games left in the season I’m not sure if they have time to turn this around.

      2. This is not a spiral…

        It’s a very long season…

        They’ll win. They’ll lose.

        They’ll win more than last year.

  15. As we approach the Noon Hour, ONLY up to 38 here!!!
    This is ridiculous!)(@(#*()!@*#)(*!@()#*)(!*@#(*)!@(*

  17. Thanks TK.

    Killington and Jay Peak reporting 8″ of new snow this AM since Monday PM and even Loon NH getting in on the action with 7″. Nice refresh of snow has allowed these areas to open some terrain back up. Killington back to just shy of 100 trails open now. Likely some more accumulation incoming in the mountains with the Fri night/Sat system.

    I think we are going to pull the trigger on the decision to head up to Jay Peak this weekend. The Fri/Sat system now looks further south and east and therefore drier up there. And it looks cold enough now that whatever falls on the mountain will be more white than wet.

  19. I am nursing a twisted knee by watching the masters three par family day. Good day to be chairbound!

  20. And the baseball game is cancelled again due to the field in Quincy being unplayable still. Paying a hefty athletic fee for my kid to just practice every day. Maybe baseball should be moved to the fall season.

  21. We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heatwave!! Temperature up to 44 here. wow! can you stand it? Spring in New England.

    1. Mt. wachusetts?. don”‘t think you drove far enough for Manadnock.
      You like Watatic though?

      2. It’s closer and lower than those. In fact, it’s not even named a “Mount” – merely a “Hill”. 🙂

        1. Let’s see. Using the map around 20 min from you….

          Fessenden hill loop Townsend.

          Jewell hill Ashby.

          Still checking map east of you.

          If this is cheating, I apoligize

            1. So cool. Will read your link. And Argh argh argh. My nanas name was Jewell. Silly me for not picking.

  24. Going out on a bit of a limb, an April with a temp departure of -3F or greater would not surprise me.

  26. we made it to 46 here. So with a low of 28, I suppose that is not all that bad considering….

  27. Thanks TK! So if this upcoming storm scenario happened in January would be talking about a big snowstorm? Seems like this is what we were hoping for with the trough digging deep into the southeast.

    1. Not necessarily. It would depend on the specifics of the set-up.

      But in a climatologically colder time of year, the odds of a significant snowstorm would be higher.

      We’ve been barely skirting around a lot of spring snow so far. A lot of close calls, but these don’t tend to be talked about much by media, which I get. I prefer to discuss them among a crowed that has a bit more knowledge of meteorology.

      2. We’ve certainly haven’t been skirting around spring RAIN. In fact, yet another weekend washout is upcoming. 🙁

        None of those “potential” type words in the forecasts either. 😉

        Now if we can at least clear up the Drought Monitor maps once and for all.

        1. March was drier than average, while having a couple decent events.

          We’ve only been wet during the first week of April.

  28. NAM is now onboard for some snow in the wee hours of Friday

      1. We don’t usually get out of these cool patterns until Memorial Day, then it’s on to a mostly warm/hot summer type pattern thereafter.

        1. Well that depends. We actually had a mild March. The “cool” pattern just got underway. We’re not cooler than normal every spring. Last spring was milder than the long term average.
