A Look Into the Future

That wasn't too bad today, right? Just a little coating of some heavy wet snow. No biggie. Overall the day was pretty damp. Lots of moisture in the air taking many forms. Rain, sleet, snow, all 3 at once. Not a nice day but its done now.

Naturally, people are itching for some actual spring weather. And they aren't wrong for feeling that we are overdue for some 70 degree warmth. In fact, over the last 5 years, Boston's average first 70 degree day of the season has been in the last week of March. he earliest date over that period was March 10th (in 2006) and the latest was April 17th (2009). So if we get to April 17th and still no 70, then we have a problem.

Taking a very broad, and i do mean broad, look at the next few weeks, the cold air will ease but it doesn't look especially warm either. The recently released NWS temperature outlook for April confirms.

I am sure we will get a warm day at some point in the next few weeks but there doesn't look like an extended period of warmth.
