DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 11-15)

As one low weakens and we lose its precipitation area to drier air at mid levels during the course of the day, a second low to the south will drift up our way and return precipitation to our region tonight and off and on through Saturday, with a third low giving one more round to eastern areas during the first half of Sunday. The air will be marginally cold enough so a little intensity and elevation can make the precipitation wet snow and sleet, with some minor accumulation at times, but that won’t have staying power and will melt away fairly quickly. This can occur until midday on Saturday when it will finally warm enough to prevent it. After this stretch of unsettled weather, we get a short-lived break Monday as high pressure builds our way for fair, milder weather, but the next rough swings through from the west on Tuesday with a rain shower chance, though it will still be mild that day.

TODAY: Cloudy with periods of rain / sleet / snow tapering off morning. Mostly cloudy afternoon. Highs 45-52. Wind E up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT / SATURDAY / SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain, can mix with sleet and snow at times especially interior higher elevations where minor temporary accumulations are possible. Areas of fog. Temperatures decline to 38-45 and stay steady much of the time. Wind E trending NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts along the coast.

SUNDAY: Cloudy with periods of rain and areas of fog / drizzle morning. Breaking clouds afternoon. Highs 43-50. Wind variable to N 5-15 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 36-43. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 57-64, coolest east of I-95. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 42-49. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Highs 55-62. Wind SW shifting to NW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (APRIL 16-20)

Cool weather returns and hangs around. Unsettled weather potential higher again later next week but too far in future to sort out specifics at this time.

DAYS 11-15 (APRIL 21-25)

Pattern continues look unsettled and cool but details are fuzzy – typical springtime uncertainty.

  3. Good morning and thank uou TK
    looked out at 5 AM and it still appeared to be raining. not sure if it ever snowed here, if it did, it was brief and not much.

    Tonight looks interesting. How much of the area will see any snow? most models have some snow, but the Euro was very scanty with any snow well inland and in elevated areas.

    Is the Euro still king OR do some of the hir tes models have a better handle? Time will tell.

    eirher way, just lovely April weather.

  4. As noted, and you can see by the examples: Precip intensity and daylight (or lack of) will have influence on whether or not any snow and sleet can build up on surfaces.

    I barely had a trace of sleet/snow on the windshield wipers, but zippo on the ground.

    Friend in Fall River had more than that, and as you have heard on the previous blog and here, 1/2 inch to even 1 inch in some spots.

    I’ve a friend in Fitchburg who will report to me if they get anything out that way, which is more likely with elevation.

  5. Thanks TK !

    So much fun living up here in the Arctic.

    The max sun angle today is 56 degrees and we’re fighting to get through the 40s.

    Of course, the sun is climbing quickly in the sky and as a result, whenever we get a ridge down the road, we’ll zoom to the 70s and 80s, with no pleasant 60s in between.

  6. I am wondering how often these little events happen that we forget about. I suspect for it to have the name poor man’s fertilizer it may be more than we think.

  7. Thanks TK.

    33F and snow covered here in Coventry. Measured about 0.75” on the deck. Up to a whopping 25.25” on the year!

    Looks like more on the way tonight but we will be on our way to Jay Peak in northern VT. Will report from up there tomorrow.

  9. We have something like an inch of snow on the grass and cars.

    We just watched a robin pull a worm through the grass and snow!

  12. 11Z HRRR 850 MB temperatures at 5Z tonight (1AM).

    That is like the definition of MARGINAL for snow. 🙂

    As I said earlier, interesting…..
    Stay tuned.

  14. Ok, it now looks like the 12Z hi Res models are backing off the snow and coming around to last night’s Euro Solution.

    So interesting….. Gotta love it.

    I now expect ZERO snow tonight/tomorrow anywhere near the coast. Only WELL inland and higher elevations.
    Hmmmm where have I heard that before? or should I say where have I seen that written? 🙂 🙂 🙂

  19. Unfortunately, those snow maps have absolutely ZERO chances of ever verifying. If we can’t have sunshine with temps 60s/70s I would at least love a few inches of snow to wrap up the 2024-25 “winter” season. Oh well. 🙁

    Thanks anyway JPD. Those models make my day! Maybe next year. 🙂 ❄️

    2. Well, it will do what it wants to do.
      Would be interesting to see snow flying tomorrow AM.
      Could go either way or go rain all the way. Who knows.

  24. Using snow maps for tomorrow’s event…

    10:1 ratio: No.
    Kuchera: No.
    Snow depth change: Better, not perfect.

    Reply

    1. Well understood. Almost a moot point anywhere near the coast.

      I saw up to 6 or 7 inches on one model for higher elevation areas with the snow depth change.

      I’d be surprised if even my grass had a slight coating tomorrow.

      Worcester area Northward, could be a really different story. 🙂

      1. WWA hoisted here. This should get interesting.

        “Roadways may become snow covered at elevations at or
        above 1000 feet..”

        I’m at 900′.

  25. What does the White House have against weather forecasting? How much of the NWS/NOAA web page will remain?

    Absolutely devastating imo! 🙁

      1. Which probably means the public will have to pay via own pockets, or at least, will have to “register” to the site to get weather information. 🙁

        This nation is spiraling out of control more and more every day. Heaven help us.

    1. This caught my attention

      “ According to the document, the budget would refocus on activities more in line with the Trump administration’s agenda, including enforcing trade laws and collecting scientific observations like ocean and weather data to support forecasting.”

      Call me silly but I don’t think anyone can have an agenda for weather. Unless of course that agenda supports the use of a sharpie

      Please be safe Matt.

      1. they have been gutting the funding for forecasting, I know this personally as many of the labs that do the hurricane gliders funding has been cut. Just the words climate is changing can be flagged.

  30. Moderate snow in Woburn, 1/2 inch so far non-paved, slushy accumulation on pavement (except where car tires make contact).

    Reply

  31. snowing very hard here in the hills. I need to measure but it’s looking like ~5″.

    I think this is the hardest it’s snowed all winter. Yes, it’s still winter this year. There’s no science that will convince me otherwise.

    2. March was 3 to 4 degrees warmer than normal, and slightly drier than normal.

      We’ve been in a chilly, wet pattern, the first part of April overall. 🙂

      Let’s keep it in perspective. 🙂

    1. I’m over 1/2 inch now, but it’s tapering off … Probably 0.6, about to confirm.

      Driveway is covered but with less than 1/2 inch.
      Side road has some coverage.
      Main road has patchy coverage where the tries don’t hit, otherwise just wet.

        1. No surprise on the bridge … We know how that works, and marginal nature of spring snow .. of course that band to the west didn’t care much about marginal conditions. 😉

  38. Writing update – just a bit slow due to an episode of atrial fibrillation. Thankfully the active phase with the heart has been slowing down, but I’m still prone to this. First a-fib in almost a month, so that’s good. Just waiting for the meds to kick in while I write. 🙂

  40. 0.7 inch here in Woburn.

    You gotta get this one measured immediately because it won’t hang around in full for long at all.

    Reply

  42. 7.5″ in Princeton, 3″ in the past hour. That band lifting northward through Worcester County into southern NH isn’t messing around.

  45. This week, I retrieved a winter sweater from storage and a winter blanket. It’s so raw that I have a space heater going right now. I rarely used this during the winter months, but raw, damp weather like this to me feels much colder than dry cold. In fact, I’d say that 30s and cold rain is the hardest weather for a body to adjust to. I wish I was an amphibian during spells like these.

    1. I’m hearing roads out this way were really difficult to navigate. Lots of tractor trailers off the road or stuck getting up the hill thru here on 146
