Mothers Day Weekend

What a stretch of fine weather we have had. 70's and above, plenty of sunshine and minimal rainfall have made for a very pleasant spring season. Today was no different but tomorrow starts the transition into a much different, more traditional spring pattern for us.

An intensifying low pressure system that is causing severe storms in the Ohio valley region will shift eastward overnight and move into Northern New England. Expect scattered showers tomorrow morning with some potential for clearing into the afternoon. Temperature expectations are up in the air right now, because of the uncertainty of where our retreating warm front sets up. Could be pretty sharp temperature cut offs depending on location.

As we move into Saturday night, stronger thunderstorms will move in from the west, but they should weaken as they get closer to the coast. By nightfall, northwestern winds will really pick up, gusting to 45mph. These winds mean the end of our warm days for now.

Mothers day will be partly cloudy, but much cooler and still pretty breezy. No shorts weather I'm afraid.

Newt week looks to stay cool, as a ridge of High pressure keeps us in the cool airflow all week. We will even see some very cold nights, down into the lower 30's!
