Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Northern New England has the luck of the Irish as the forecast there remains mostly dry and spring like. Southern New England, however, will have rain spreading in south to north in the afternoon through evening.
We begin the morning with areas of patchy fog again and temperatures in the 30s under a mostly cloudy sky. Temperatures north reach the 50s to near 60 with help from any sunshine this afternoon. Temperatures south stay in the 40s at the coast and low 50s inland thanks to a southeasterly onshore wind.

The rain doesn’t amount to too much at all. Around a tenth of an inch and up to a quarter of an inch for the entire event. The showers head out west to east between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Morning clouds on Friday break to sunshine in the afternoon as high pressure returns to the northeast. This means a gorgeous and warm spring day!
