Storms coming

A strong line of showers is about to come through JP. Please go inside for the next 20-30 minutes to allow the storms to pass. Some of these storms may have small hail and some lightning. It will rain hard for less than 20 minutes, and then an additional line may come through. Winds may gust over 50 MPH in the next hour.

A forecast for the rest of the week later.

Wake up the earth!

It will be a fantastic day for umping a game at 9 AM, followed by wake up the earth in the afternoon. It will be mostly sunny with highs mainly in the 70's as the warm front stalls in western MA. Then, the warm front will charge through on Saturday night and bring hit heat and humidity for Sunday. However, no rain is expected on Saturday night.


Boston, MA forecast:

Tonight: Clear and calm. Lows near 50 Downtown, 47 in JP and 44 in the suburbs.

Saturday: Mostly sunny with highs near 72 Downtown, 76 in JP and 78 inland. However, temp falling to 68 by 5 PM along the coast, including Boston. A SE wind of 10-20 MPH.

Nice Weekend

Today was a very windy day with temps hitting 60. However, the wind died down for the game I umped at 530 PM. Temps tomorrow will hit the 70's with deep blue skies. Then, a warm front will try to come through on Saturday, but it won't make it all the way to the coast. So it will be cooler in Boston than areas to the west. But the front will come through on Sunday and we will have our first triple H day of the year (hazy, hot and humid).
