Back to reality

After a nearly perfect weekend, we are heading back to a more New England like spring.

Today:  Some sun early then increasing clouds, highs in the low to mid 60s south, 50s north.

Tonight:  Occasional rain, especially south, lows near 40 south, near 30 north.

Tomorrow:  Periods of rain, heavy at times, temperatures remaining nearly steady south, near 40, climbing into the mid 30s north.

Tomorrow night:  Rain comes to an end, partial clearing, temperatures remain steady overnight.

Thursday:  Partly sunny, warmer, highs in the mid and upper 50s south, low to mid 50s north.

Discussion:

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the weather we had over the weekend and yesterday.  Conditions will be going downhill today and tonight leading to a raw, rainy day tomorrow.  We should stay mostly dry today thanks to a large pool of dry air overhead.  This will eat up any precipitation that tries to move into New England today.  As the storm system gets closer and more moisture moves in aloft, it will start precipitating here in New England.  I think that areas north of Concord, NH will stay dry until the daylight hours tomorrow, putting Southern New England under the gun for precipitation tonight.  I won't rule out a few rumbles of thunder, especially south of the Mass. Pike overnight.  The heaviest of the rain should fall during the day tomorrow and looks to be in Southern New England.  Our winds will contain an easterly component, so it will be a raw day, temperatures holding steady throughout the day for the most part.

As the storm pulls away on Wednesday night and the skies start to clear, it might actually warm up a few degrees overnight.  Once the easterly wind settles down, the actually atmosphere will allow for warmer temperatures to develop.  This will lead to a pleasant day on Thursday with a decent amount of sunshine and mild temps.  Beyond Thursday, it looks like our weather will stay quiet until late Saturday or Saturday night when another low pressure system arrives.  Sunday looks to be a washout at this point, so we might be able to salvage about half of a weekend.

Thanks for reading!
