4/19- A cold Easter followed by warmth and rain

Good Saturday everyone and happy Easter weekend!!

Today's weather is going to be nothing to write home about. We will experience (surprise!) below average temperatures once more today- I think many locations will be trapped in the 50s today once more, though some areas (especially north) could get to 60-62 or so. On the positive note, no precipitation will occur this weekend, and tomorrow looks much the same as today does with perhaps a bit colder weather on the way. As we move forward, Monday and Tuesday look absolutely fantastic with nice weather and highs in the low 70s! Unfortunately, however, a slow-moving cold front is going to drench us once again on Wednesday, which looks like a washout for now (though the afternoon may be significantly better than the morning). This knocks us back into the low 60s for Thursday and the mid 60s for Friday with clear conditions on both days.

On a more personal note, I visited Channel 3 last night and met Bruce DePrest, their chief meteorologist. It was a fantastic experience- I was very impressed with his knowledge of the weather and his personality was great as well! It was a great way for me to continue thinking about my future and more fully understand the broadcast side of the weather industry!


Today in weather history- April 19, 1976- An extreme early heat wave hits the northeast, as some areas in southern New England hit 100 degrees, and the Boston Marathon is held with temps in the mid 90s (YIKES!)
