As we turn the calendar page, we also cross several major daylight milestones, with some of our longest days of the year arriving this week. An impressive Omega Block has taken control of the weather pattern across North America, and we’ll explain what that means, what it's doing to our weather, and how long it may stick around.

Memorial Day weekend stays cool, gray, and damp… but much warmer air is waiting in the wings. We’re talking about a dramatic temperature rebound into the 70s and even low 80s by the middle of the week before cooler air returns just in time for next weekend. 

We’ll talk about a stretch of relatively light winds, improving beach weather, our latest drought monitor update, and the big daylight milestone we continue racing toward.

Happy Mother’s Day! 

Temperatures will run well below average for most of the week ahead, and while there’s finally some improvement in the wind department, it’s definitely not going to feel like mid-May for several more days. We’re looking at mainly dry conditions overall with just ONE meaningful rain chance in the week ahead. We’ll also update our latest drought status, talk about why lawns across Southern New England are suddenly growing like crazy, and why now is definitely NOT the week to skip mowing the grass.

Temperatures are set to run well below average for late April, and yeah… it’s going to feel like it too. But there’s a flip side, we finally start drying things out, as a much quieter, drier pattern begins to take hold across southern New England.

We’re also watching the subtle seasonal shift, daylight is still increasing, but the big gains are now behind us. We’re adding minutes, just not at that rapid March pace anymore… still counts though.

A colder pattern settles in as we head through the final full week of March… a reminder that while the calendar says spring, the atmosphere doesn’t always agree.

At the same time, our daylight gains, after peaking are now beginning to slow, but just how much light have we actually picked up since the depths of winter?
