After dreary skies and rain on Monday, New Englanders were treated to a beautiful sunset as a front passed through. The threatening skies turned beautiful hues of yellow, deep orange, red and pink — and that’s not even touching on the rainbow that many people saw! Many people have been wondering what caused such a stunning light show. It’s...

Maine keeps watching snow Friday afternoon after having reports of 8 inches in Mars Hill, and 6 inches in New Sweden and Castle Hill. More snow will fall Friday night in the crown of Maine, and it’s likely that some areas may see over 9 inches by Saturday morning. Elsewhere, temperatures are topping the mid-50s — and in the upper-50s…

Friday evening, our temperatures will fall to the 40s and 50s with a clear sky and a slowly diminishing wind from the north-northwest. Later at night, we will drop to the 40s and 30s with a clear sky — great for star gazing, but not so great for early-season flower blooms, since we will see frost again in the suburbs….

Our temperatures have risen to the upper 60s making it another joyous day for southern New England. While the south has taken advantage of the mostly sunny afternoon, we’re tracking the consistent scattered showers that keep moving from west to east in Vermont through Maine. Our evening forecast for both differentiates significantly with temperatures in the 50s and showers...

Another day of sunny splendor is unfolding across New England, still courtesy of a large area of high pressure – fair weather – building over the Eastern Seaboard. With a weakening prevailing wind by Thursday afternoon, sea breezes will kick up for our beaches, capping temperatures in the middle to upper 70s before easing back a few degrees late in…

Variable clouds Friday will still allow for considerable warmth, though the chance of showers rises just a bit as the air starts to moisten.

Tuesday’s weather worked out above and beyond the call of the forecast, at least in the sunshine department. That same storm system off Nova Scotia kept our northerly breezy coming, but there were not as many clouds as expected. And remarkably, we were calm on Boston Harbor for a time Tuesday afternoon, with temperatures in the low 60s — a…

Scattered showers are heading our way Wednesday evening from the west.  Any rain is welcome, as this month has been extremely dry, with over 2 inches of rain below normal for Boston since March 1. The showers won’t be much, about a tenth of an inch to a quarter of an inch through morning.  The timing of the rain is great,...

Steadily improving weather has arrived to New England with early flurries and clouds Thursday morning giving way to increasing sunshine as a fresh breeze makes high temperatures of 35-40 degrees feel more like 30 degrees on the level at the warmest time of the day.

Tuesday: Flurry to peeks of sun. Highs in the 40s on the coast, 50s inland. Overnight Tuesday: Becoming clear. Lows in the 30s. Wednesday: Sun to clouds. Highs around 60, 50 on the coast.

There’s no question Tuesday is an improvement over Monday – the wind has quieted considerably and continues to quiet during the day, the clouds are breaking up enough to allow for peeks of sun and even more than that in northern and western New England, and save for some sprinkles and flurries, rain and snow has shipped out.  While...
