A Preview Of Spring

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

A week ago today I blogged about our coldest day of the winter with daytime highs only in the teens. What a difference a week makes as we will chase record highs across the northeast. Many towns are already starting the day at normal *high* temp levels--mid 30s--and we will only go up from here reaching the 50s by afternoon. In fact, our temperatures will be even warmer overnight tonight with many towns between 55-60!

To get all this warm (and fuzzy) air will require some work and that takes place in the form of wind. Not much wind this morning but during the afternoon that wind will really crank between 20-30mph and by tonight expect that wind to gust between 40-50mph--highest in Plymouth/Bristol counties as well as Cape Cod. At those wind gusts (50mph), some wind damage--and power loss is likely tonight. Rain will also be an issue from midnight & beyond with numerous downpours. Most towns will pick up between 1-2" of rain by early Thursday morning.

Thursday starts stormy: Windy & rainy but after 9am, sunshine returns and that wind will settle just a bit. The temps also get an attitude adjustment with the numbers starting near 60 by 7am but then falling into the low 50s by late morning and then into the 40s by afternoon. Seasonably cold weather returns for Friday & the weekend.

What A Day

The last day of spring will be fantastic! What a way to close the books on the vernal season. As our weather producer, Jim Colman says...."what a season it was..rain, snow, wind, sun and more rain" Truth Jim, truth. Only sun today with afternoon temps in the upper 70s--a great day for all outdoor activities.

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:
