Spring actually isn't too bad up here.

There are nice days like today and there are lousy days that are 45 with drizzle, but those days are in the minority.

Everything is blooming now and coming to life.

Driving down to Long Island tomorrow evening for a wedding on Saturday (I'm the best man!). Not looking forward to driving back in rain on Sunday. Might try and leave early in the morning or sleep in a bit and leave before checkout...but it depends on what time the Bruins game ends up being. Hate driving in rain...probably be like 20 accidents. At least it will be daylight

Talk to us in a week.

If you compare to this week yeah it will suck but the upcoming stretch doesn't look terrible by any means. Different tune though for those probably closer to the coast but nothing abnormal for April really. We should at least climb to average most days or in that ballpark.

models don't show all that much rain for Sunday-maybe some scattered showers vs an all day stratiform rain?

Next week is shit for all. Although I will add that we may get a couple of decent NW flow days late week once the core of the cold passes. Anything with sun is a plus.

It’s turned into a nice day.  Sunny and 63.

Same.   Strata lost the battle very fast about 1/2 hour ago. 

Now a naked BD air mass ... Pretty clear boundary still demarcates around Worcester ...but nearing 70 we're probably going to see the boundary bounce N some amount as it homogenizes on both sides.   Still 3kts of E

Hoping its more scattered showers but QPF signal is decent right now. But just showers is going to cause probably 10 accidents  and unless I do a different route, form 95 a good part of the trip will be the Merritt. Unless I just do 95 to like New Haven then shoot up 91.

sun is definitely going to be needed. But I think we should end up being fine...we'll have a chance to climb before we start clouding over. 50's is going to suck versus 70's and 80's but it would be worse (It will be worse for some though where there are only 40's)

Getting a little sun now.

62.2F

Off to the races

87 at home. 62 here at the beach in RI.

Yup…gotta be inland this time of year…anything 5-10 miles of the ocean is toast in mid April…unless you have a major off shore flow.  
 

Remember when I had my Harley…bunch of buds would say let’s take a-ride down the shore on a hot day like this in April …and I’d be like no way.  
One time they talked me into it.   88 when we left here in April, 48-50 when we got within 8 miles of the water. Was Like driving into a freezer.  Absolutely Horrid. 

[Torch Tiger]

Did crack 70 here, car interiors up to 100 or so. not bad.

48 years ago, the opposite occurred in Maine.  On May 29, 1978, Eastport touched 70 then the onshore breeze and fog dropped the temp to 49 at mid-afternoon.  Same time, HUL read 96.

Yesterday the sun at least tried soon after lunchtime.  No tries today.

ever take the ferry ?  a few bucks more but much less stress

[Typhoon Tip]

ESE wind at 1K high ORH AP and it's about to tap 80 F

    ....  In mid April

[Typhoon Tip]

hmm  I really don't think the models know what to do later next week.

It seems a cool down is inevitable but these 12z runs are all over the place with domain features compared to previous.

[Typhoon Tip]

The overall mean thicknesses are not quite as cold, either.   It's like what Jerry was suggesting, more like reality April.   But D8/9 Euro is above normal on this run, too ...

It's just more like convoluted spring typology.  Bowling season
