Nice end to the week

1 day ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

Not much to say in the blog today with sunshine and decent temperatures for the next several days. The biggest thing the next few days will be the sea breeze. While not as dramatic today, it will be more significant for the day tomorrow and again on Friday. We’re dry through Friday, though we may see a passing shower Friday evening across southern New Hampshire. It’s a low risk, and the trend the last 24 hours has been to lower that risk even more. More widespread rain returns for Saturday.
Dry and mild to finish the week

Hopefully you enjoyed our nice stretch of dry days after a soggy start to the month of April. That stretch of dry days was snapped early this morning with a little batch of showers that slid through the area. The rainfall amounts weren’t overly impressive, generally about a quarter inch, give or take, across the area. The good news is most of today was dry with sunshine and mild temperatures through the afternoon.
Short-lived cool down

Scattered showers today, mainly this afternoon, fired along a cold front that will bring a brisk day back to the forecast tomorrow. We’ll keep a mostly cloudy sky for your Wednesday with temperatures topping out near 50°. That’s below normal, plus add the cloud cover and a west wind that will gust to 35 mph at times, it will be a brisk day. The wind will be a theme of the forecast moving forward, staying windy or breezy through Saturday.
Mainly dry, mostly mild week

Aside from a couple of hiccups here and there, the week ahead is shaping up to be a good one. We’ll fight a breeze a few days, otherwise it’s mainly dry and mostly mild. The one chance of rain this week will be a few showers that move through during the day tomorrow, but it’s far from an all day rain. Take the umbrella with you tomorrow, I’d hedge my bets that at some point during the day tomorrow you’ll run into something, but there’s still a lot more dry hours than wet ones.
Sunshine not far away

After a dreary Saturday… well, there’s not a ton of improvement today. It will be a bit better, but it’s still not great. Temperatures will be a bit warmer and the showers will be more of the showery variety versus the all day rain and drizzle we had yesterday. The center of our storm is off shore, so the closer you are to that, the more likely showers are today (the coast line). It’s still a chilly, brisk day with overcast skies and a decent breeze.

You know the saying… April showers bring May flowers. Well, we’ve seen our fair share of those April showers this month so far, picking up rain on eight of the first 11 days of the month. The problem is those showers have generally been light and haven’t really amounted to much. Believe it or not, we’re only about 0.2″ above average for the month to date. The showers we’ve had have been light and generally quick to pass by. What we need to pull us out of our drought is a good soaking rain.
Sunshine returns

After a pretty gloomy start to the work week, skies spent the afternoon clearing out — of course the tradeoff for that was a very gusty wind. The wind will be with us through the overnight, but especially until 11pm. We have a wind advisory that remains in effect until then, at which point the wind will gradually begin to subside. With clear skies, a bit less wind, and coming off of an already chilly day, temperatures will get pretty cold tonight. We’ll see overnight lows fall down into the 20s.
Drying out, staying cool

The whole “April Showers” saying certainly is holding true in the first week of April 2025. We’ve recorded rain in Boston every day except one. But this is a good thing. We need some rain. While January, February and March all finished technically dry, they weren’t terrible months for rain. For 2025, we’re less than an inch below normal for water. The problem is 2024 ended with that incredibly dry fall (you may remember all those late season brush fires we dealt with).
Cooling down - Boston News, Weather, Sports

We had some heavy rain overnight and even a few good rumbles of thunder. Those showers and storms fired along a cold front that brought in colder temperatures today. While it was brighter today, it was also colder. Highs climbed to near 50° today compared to yesterday’s 60s despite having the cloud cover. We had a pretty good breeze today which will back down tonight. Clear skies and a light wind are what’s needed for a cold night, and that’s what we’ll have tonight.
Heavier rain tonight

Today was day three of overcast skies, mist, drizzle and just an overall damp feeling. Thankfully today we didn’t have to fight the colder temperatures as we climbed into the 60s for most of us! A cold front will come through overnight and bring some downpours and possibly even a rumble of thunder… the trade off is we’ll finally give the stubborn clouds the push they need out to sea with sunshine returning tomorrow. We’ll keep scattered showers around between now and about 10pm.
