We get the sunshine back this weekend! Our weekend will feature two very different feeling days. Today is chilly with a cold wind. Tomorrow has less wind and a bit more mild air.
The stream of moisture that brought us light rain yesterday pushed northeast. A cold front moves through today ushering in colder temperatures aloft. We’ll be between that low to our east and a high building in from the west, and that’ll bring us a gusty northwest wind.
Afternoon temperatures will mainly range in the 30s. With the wind gusting 20-30 mph at times, it’ll feel like the 20s this afternoon. That’s how you’ll want to dress! Luckily, we’ll see increasing sunshine to help offset the chill.
Overnight into tomorrow morning, we’ll have very dry air, clear skies and a fading breeze. All those factors will help to make it a very cold start! Low temperatures will be in the teens. We’ll keep the dry air, clear skies and light wind through the day, so it’ll feel nice. Temperatures will rebound to the upper 30s/near 40°.
Look up to the sky tonight! You can catch our last full moon of winter. The February full moon is called the “Snow Moon,” since this month typically is the snowiest. It’s a “micromoon.” The moon will be full, but at it’s farthest point from Earth.
Want to get away? Northern New England will feel chilly this weekend, but you’ll get some sunshine. It’s quite the contrast from the weather our Red Sox are playing in Fort Myers today.
Looking ahead, our temperatures reach the 50s next week.
