After our long, tough winter, robins are a reassuring sign of spring. But they're also raising a question.
This is so typical of Spring in New England and while I'm not a fan of this, for me, I just think back about 45 days ago when the snowbanks were up to our ears and a smile appears on my face...I'd take this any day of the week over that!
What a day...weather was pretty good, sox win, great marathon...maybe we can keep this going tonight with a big B's Win...just maybe!

A coldfront is marching our way from the west...convection is popping out ahead of it and will weaken as it works into Southern New England but some leftover showers and rumbles will be possible later tonight
The atmosphere will be undergoing a transformation and will be warming up quite a bit over the next few days. While temperatures aloft will be similar to Summer levels it is always tough this time of year to get that warmth to translate to the surface. We will be dealing with seabreezes and cloud cover and most critical of all...wind direction.
It was a beautiful day and plenty warm enough in my opinion but near the coast you could definitely feel a chill due to a weak seabreeze.

The high today was 64 degrees set just after noon and just before the coldfront swept through. Following that, temps tumbled most of the afternoon and we are now in the 40s and 30s!
