Now that we have a record-breaking, snow-making, spring nor’easter behind us, we can finally start to look ahead to better, calmer weather. This weekend may not be entirely free of precipitation and will be colder than average, but it will still be a welcome reprieve. Looking ahead, there’s some chance we could see a true taste of spring with temps nearing the 60s late next week!

Rest of today – decreasing clouds as an area of high pressure starts to make its presence felt. High temperatures in the mid-40s.

Saturday – sunny, high temperatures in the mid-40s but with a chilly feel due to some northerly winds.

Sunday – high pressure breaks down and a storm system passes to our south but results in increased clouds. Temperatures in the low-40s as a result. Small chance for rain/snow possible due to the influence of the storm that hit us this week still stuck spinning out in the western North Atlantic.

Monday – high pressure builds again, yielding a sunny day with high temperatures in the mid-40s.

Warmer than Average April?

It’s been a rollercoaster temperature-wise in the Northeast to say the least over the last 3 months. January was bitterly cold and much below average. Then we experienced some record-breaking warmth in February, only to revert back to a colder than average month of March. Looking ahead, there are some signs from the Climate Prediction Center that we could experience a warmer than average April!
