IT’S REALLY GOING TO FEEL LIKE SPRING AND IT MAY FEEL LIKE SUMMER BY THE WEEKEND… NO SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND
The low pressure system that has caused havoc in New England is finally going to move away as it weakens. Major flooding after record breaking rainfall is affecting many in Rhode Island and Massachussetts and in the surrounding areas. I picked up nearly 3 inches of rain from that storm system. Now, we dry out for several days as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic states. Temperatures will trend upward of the next few days. By the weekend, we might see temperatures peaking out above the 80 degree mark. Areas along the coast will be cooler when the breeze turns onshore. Water temperatures are very chilly. Precipitation so far this year is running above normal and that is typical of an El Nino winter season.
