Clearing is actively working N-E ...question for me is whether there's a temp burst as that CT runs over as the sun is shining thru.  interesting

nice to see that...we'll see how it works out.  There's quite a bit of clearing sweeping up across the area at mid and u/a levels according to high res vis loop this hour.  As that expands over this sludge it will be interesting to see how the mid April sun goes to war over top. 

The day glow is also already elevating over the last 10 min here so my est for 11 am might not be so bad. 

Gotta watch exactly where that boundary ends up because we may see some transient supercells along it

Trading today for a much better Friday. Possibly Saturday too as I’ll be in Portland

Are there apples, peaches, or pears nearing bloom down there yet? Otherwise probably not much damage. Our natives can handle these swings in April. But my pawpaws can get cambium damage sometimes even if they haven’t broken bud if it’s cold enough and the sap is starting to flow. 

Oh yeah all fruit and flowering trees are in bloom. All maples have tiny leaves and even some Oak species have popped . I’d suspect after the next 2 still warm ish days everything will have leafed

April here has never been early enough to threaten late frost damage, but May is different, especially in 2010.  That year had 3 straight months, Feb, Mar, and Apr, as our warmest, then May 1-5 was +14 with average highs of 77.  Everything was 3-4 weeks ahead of average, then May 11-13 had minima of 22/26/25.  100% kill of apple blossoms and ash shoots, serious damage to maples, beech, birch, lighter damage to oak.

Already 77 and pretty humid with bright sun.  Vegetation has exploded. Central air is on. Nice bangers last night.  What a week. 

[CoastalWx]

Best week of the warm season?

[Torch Tiger]

Awful out there. Congrats SW

Suns out in downtown Boston before us.

Rock on! 

The wind on 1K high Worcester air port needs to go SW ... that would tell us there's frontal retreat.  Otherwise, even if the sun comes out we'll hang up at 62 bone-in-ass watching it be 80 up to Sturbridge.

High noons for all 

[SouthCoastMA]

Full sun and 53.1°. Likely still better than next weeks vomit

[dendrite]

Looks like we may clear out once this line of showers moves through 

[jbenedet]

Today is progressing just like yesterday…

Meanwhile, 74° in Bourne..5 miles to my SW. 

[jbenedet]

All I’m seeing is a progression of the back door, further south/west with each day through Saturday.

[Typhoon Tip]

Exceptional temp gradient.  55 to 80 between Ayer and SW Worcester CO

I'm thinking looking at satellite like the boundary is attempting to wash out so we'll see
