Wednesday is even warmer, as temperatures climb into the upper 50s, to near 60 for some along the South Coast. This airmass is akin to what we’d expect for an early-to-late April time frame. Winds are from the southeast between 15 and 20 miles per hour. With the warmth, enough energy sits in the atmosphere to bring an isolated thunderstorm across the South Coast, Cape & Islands Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
As the atmosphere undergoes changes, colder air modulates for the remainder of the extended outlook. We’ll see freezing rain across the mountains down to northern Massachusetts Thursday morning and Thursday with the chance of snow for some on Friday. Unlike the previous weekend, Saturday and Sunday look mostly dry, with highs closer to seasonable average.
