The Climb

Wha? A Miley Cyrus shout-out?

Try the temperatures. Not a huge leap coming, but we'll put the pot on simmer, and see what happens.

I'm optimistic about hitting the low 40s each afternoon, but with the strong, persistent wind, it will most likely feel colder (30s). Oddly enough, the warmup will start tonight as clouds move in and a few flurries break out after midnight. There might even be enough for a spotty coating of snow across Southern NH and Northernmost Massachusetts (from Gardner to Salisbury).

Even with limited sun, the numbers are much milder than today. But we can't hold it off forever. The cold air comes rushing back - you guessed it - just in time for the Pats game Sunday. While tailgating will see us either side of 40, by kickoff we'll only be a couple of degrees above freezing. No matter, when the Pats take the field, we'll all get that warm feeling inside.

Deep freeze expected next week. Long-duration stuff here, people. Got two storms on my radar: one close brush (maybe some more SE Mass. snow) and another big one (think cold, fluffy snow areawide) on Friday.

Relax. Plenty of time to sort it out....

...and watch some football!

GOOO PATS!!!!!!

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Posted by Chris Lambert

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.

Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies.  Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?

Still Good

How about yesterday?  The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th.  Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive. 

Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day?  Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much?  It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph.  No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.
