Welcome to Groundhog Day!  Our furry friend shines today as the predication of winter’s continuation or demise hinges on a shadow.  As a reminder, if the groundhog sees a shadow, it means 6 more weeks of winter (what winter?).  It’s a fun tradition, and now with social media, it means a flood of groundhog and Phil Connors pics/clips/memes today.  We’ll have fun with it. 

Our local Ms. G will give her forecast this morning from Drumlin Farm http://www.mastategroundhog.com/about/index.html 

While the sun shines today, temps do run a good 15-20 degrees cooler than yesterday, but still nice for this time of year with highs in the mid to upper 40s. 

Wednesday brings in a gusty wind and a good dose of rain with temps back into the 50s. Wind gusts 30-40mph are likely, even higher down over the Cape and Islands/Buzzards Bay.  Rain totals run about an inch with this shot of downpours and perhaps even a crack of thunder with this storm. The heaviest rain and strongest winds arrive in the afternoon and evening.   


A few showers linger near the coast into Thursday morning, but the forecast is rather quiet to end the week and go into the weekend. 

The next chance for a storm rolls in here sometime around Tuesday of next week.  

Enjoy the sunshine!
