Backdoor Cold Front

A back door cold front will come down from Maine on Wednesday afternoon. It is called a back door cold front because most fronts come from the west, NW or SW. The timing is huge, but the front should come through at around 2 PM. That is after temps reach the low 90's, and mid 90's to the SW of the city. Then, cool weather will come back for Thursday and Friday before the warmth returns for Memorial Day weekend.

Highs Today:
Logan: 82
Bedford: 88
Nashua, NH: 92
JP: 94

Tropics: The storm centered around 400 miles SSW of North Carolina remains disorganized, despite 40 MPH winds. It will brush the Carolina coastline with gusty winds, showers and rough surf. It will likely not become the first tropical system of the season. Scroll down to my Saturday post to see my 2010 Hurricane outlook.
