Chilly Spring Weather Hits New England: Rain and Snow in the Forecast!
As New England springs into action, it seems that the weather isn’t quite ready to shed its winter coat just yet! This past weekend, folks were greeted with a delightful Friday afternoon full of sunshine, but cooler air has rolled in just in time for the start of the week. If you thought spring was here to stay, think again!
Say Goodbye to Sunshine
Sunday gave us a teasing sunset, but it’s all downhill from there. Those fluffy clouds are gearing up to blanket the skies, as precipitation makes its grand entrance. On Monday, we might see a messy mix of rain and possibly even snow across various regions. Boston has its eye on some wet snow mixed in with rain, but don’t hold your breath for snow to stick—it’s unlikely with the warmer temperatures around.
Let’s Talk Snow Accumulation
For those in Northern New England, be prepared for some wintery surprises! A light coating to a couple of inches of snow could grace the ground, particularly in the higher elevations of the Worcester County and the Berkshires. While many grassy spots might capture a little bit of snow, it’ll be a fleeting sight—likely gone before you know it!
Bundle Up for Monday
Don’t forget to bundle up for Monday! With temperatures having a tough time reaching the 40s, it’s the perfect day to dig out those cozy jackets and maybe even your favorite knit scarf. The best chances of seeing snow will be in the morning until about 10 AM, with a potential resurgence in the evening. So keep your umbrella handy!
Tuesdays Might Be Better
Looking ahead, Tuesday may bring a bit of relief as skies could clear up at some point. Expect temperatures to hover between 42 and 47 degrees, but let’s not get too comfortable! It’s going to be breezy, and those wind chills could plunge back down into the 20s. Get ready for some nippy mornings as we head into Wednesday and Thursday, when temps will likely dip into the 30s once more. Frost is definitely a possibility, especially for inland spots.
Midweek Warming? Not Quite!
Wednesday afternoon might give us a taste of slightly warmer weather, reaching into the mid to upper 40s. Thursday has a better shot at reaching the 50s, but don’t get your hopes up just yet—rainy conditions are lurking, particularly in parts of Greater Boston and Southeastern Massachusetts.
More Rain on the Horizon
Say goodbye to dry days, as a significant rain pattern is set to continue into the week. Showers will likely grace the skies on Thursday, and don’t be surprised if another wave of rain makes its way in by the weekend.
Baseball Season Kicks Off
In exciting news, the Red Sox home opener on Friday promises warmer temperatures in the 60s with a mix of sun and clouds. But watch out! Showers are expected to creep back into the forecast over the weekend—just in time to dampen any baseball festivities.
Classic New England April
April’s wacky weather isn’t unusual for New England. It’s a month filled with fluctuating temperatures, charming sunshine, and surprise rain showers. And while it might be tempting to dig into your gardening, don’t forget about the risk of frost in inland areas. This is a great time to plant hardy annuals to usher in the spring season!
Weather Variability in Full Swing
It’s important to remember that April is notorious for its weather rollercoaster, where both cold snaps and warm days can surprise us at any moment. So hang tight as we navigate through this quirky spring weather together!
