A nice Weekend
US Weather: This is a picture of the EF4 tornado last night in Alabama. Over 150 tornadoes were reported last night in the SE US. Over 800 tornadoes have been reported in April, and over 1000 this year so far. These tornadoes had a widespread path of destruction over 5 states. Over 280 people were killed by these nasty storms, and that still could rise.
The cold front that brought storms to parts of New England will clear the coast tonight leading to a drier airmass. Friday will have more clouds in the afternoon, but it is still a nice day. The sun will be out all weekend long and temps will be in the 60's. A storm is possible early next week.

Warm Air Ahead
With a south wind temps will once again rise into the 60's on Sunday. A warm front will come thru on Sunday night with scattered showers, but it won't rain the whole night. I'm hopeful the Red Sox will get the game in at 8 PM. Temps will soar well into the 70's on Monday and we will come close to the record of 78. A cool front will come thru on Monday night and more seasonal air will follow by midweek.

Special: 2010-11 Winter Review
We had a snowy and cold winter in the Boston area. However, most of the snow fell in a 6 week period from Christmas to Groundhog day. The cold weather hung around until early April, and we had even had some snow on April 1st. The snow piles that were feet high earlier this winter, gradually melted in late Feb. into March. So, we avoided another major flood event. I will give a month by month summary of snow and avg temps from Dec-March for Boston. Scroll to the end to see a forecast for the weekend.

A nice Opening Day
After the sox failed to record a single win on the road, they will return to Fenway to sunny skies and a light breeze. Because of the light wind, it will be onshore leading to cooler readings in the Fens than inland. Without a sea breeze over the weekend, temps will be near 60 on Saturday and close to 70 on Sunday along with some sun. The warmth will continue into early next week.

Temps will be in the upper 40's for the sox home opener at 2 PM as the rain heads south of us. Hope they have a win by that point.

Warmer Weekend
The snow was a little disappointing this morning here in Plymouth, NH as it only amounted to around 5 inches. I was expecting more-and it didn't stick the roads. Around the Boston area about 2 inches fell in the city-with a wide swath of 4-6 inches NW of 128. Clouds and wind will hang around on Saturday, but any snow that fell will melt as temps soar to near 50. Temps will rise to near 50 again on Sunday before a warm front comes thru on Monday. I hate to say it-but more snow is possible.
