Back to Winter

An area of low pressure will approach the region tonight and light rain showers will arrive around dawn. Showers will continue through Friday, mostly light around midnight the steady rain arrives, and the precip continues through Saturday evening. It is a tough call for the Red Sox game that I have tickets for. As of now I expect temps to be around 40 with showers and a stiff east wind at 7 PM on Friday.

Volcano Eruption: The same volcano that erupted in Iceland a couple of weeks ago erupted again. However, this time it was much bigger. It sent ash thousands of feet into the air. 4 flights were canceled from Logan to Europe, and London's airport was shut down. Many other airports in northern Europe were shut down because the ash would damage the plane's engines. Including Ireland, France, Norway and Germany. The wind patterns are expected to remain the same for a while, so the ash will continue for days.
