Getting a warm front to move through New England can be like pushing a rope….darn near impossible. That was the case today with metro Boston temps near 60 but just down the road, places like Hanson–Mmm Bop–reached the low 60s. Such is the life of a New Englander in early spring.
We’re onto Easter Weekend, right JR?…..Well actually, that’s not looking as nice as I once thought. Bummer. The reason is for High Pressure and its location. High Pressure systems are like Low Pressure systems in that their track can have different implications on a region (see last weekend’s snowstorm and its wobbly track). The past couple of days it appeared High Pressure would track south of New England, setting up a west wind and subsequently, mild temps & sunshine but now it looks like the Blue H will track across northern New England. This means instead of a dry,warm & west wind for us it will be a cool, moist east wind from the ocean.
Plan on mostly cloudy skies for both tomorrow & again on Easter Sunday with temps in the 40s both days. If you plan to be in central/western New England you do have a shot at a little more sun each day and with more sun your temps could reach the low 50s. All in all, not stellar but not snowing either.
Glancing into early next week, it seems we have fallen into a bit of a rut with clouds & rain returning to New England. Once again, temps are cool & raw–40s. Tuesday should see a return of abundant sunshine, albeit a little windy & cool.
Have a great Easter Weekend. ;o)
