Hello all and happy Tuesday to you! What a beautiful couple days we’ve had Monday and Tuesday this week. I hope that you were able to get out in the yard and enjoy it. But be careful, it may be April and temperatures may be cool, the sun is strong this time of year. Sunburns are possible as the suns “strength” is roughly the same as late August right now.

Tuesday

Tuesday Morning Satellite – College of DuPage

A dry northwest wind is bringing nothing but blue skies for our Tuesday. Afternoon temperatures in the low 60s south, 50s central and 40s north.

Wednesday

Those clouds to the west in the loop above will bring a sprinkle or two to southern New England during the early morning hours Wednesday. Other than that, Wednesday will be quiet, but cloudy with slightly cooler temperatures. Afternoon highs in the 50s south & central, 40s north.

Thursday

Thursday starts out quiet, but an energetic system moves though northern New England during the afternoon. A secondary area of low pressure will pop east of Boston and rapidly intensify. As it does, a robust precipitation shield will envelop northern New England bringing several inches of snow and strong winds overnight Thursday into Friday.  Light rain for southern and central New England during the day Thursday.

Friday

The storm system will slowly drift away Friday. As it does cooler air will move in. There is a little bit of moisture left in this air mass so a stray sprinkle or snowflake isn’t out of the question.

When all is said and done across Maine several inches of snow is likely. Here is the current forecast from the local National Weather Service office.

Weekend Preview

The weekend looks quiet for now with temperatures in the 40s Saturday and 50s Sunday. Cooler across Maine where snow cover will act like a refrigerator.

We are entering into a rather active looking pattern.  A storm system every few days looks possible. If this were January, the snow lovers would be excited. Too bad it is April.
