Good morning folks, we’ve got some patchy fog out there in the Berkshires, and it is especially dense at Keene NH, Orange MA, and northeast CT. This will burn off as temps are coming UP today, landing well into the 70s under sunny skies as our new Spring regime moves in and kicks the old winter pattern to the curb (known as the coastline) and out to sea. #BuhBye

The Nutshell (above if on FB, below if on my iPhone app) goes through the upcoming 7 days of temperature details, but the bottom line is temps are going up for highs and lows over the next 5 days, and even when they sit back down for next Thursday and Friday they will still be 10 degrees above where they have been for weeks. #RightDirection

So, gorgeous today, highs well into the 70s, sunny, but we do have a weak wave coming through tonight with lows in the 50s. This weakening feature may drop a few light to moderate showers near/around midnight, but otherwise we’re dry until at least Tuesday afternoon, and more so through Wednesday afternoon when an actual cold front will sweep this second 2026 round of heat and humidity seaward.

Sunday is breezy out of the west with even warmer temps under sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s, which will repeat on Monday, also with sunny skies. Lows Sunday night dip into the upper 40s to mid 50s, and then hang at either side of 60º Monday night as dewpoints and humidity increase into Tuesday and Wednesday.

It’s hazy, hot and humid Tuesday and Wednesday, with a legit summer feel (we’ll be less than 2 weeks away from June, so here comes Summah) with highs in the mid 80s to low 90s each day.

If things really come together, I can’t rule out some spots in the lower valley reaching the mid 90s.

I could also see some pre-frontal scattered showers and thunderstorms or downpours developing Tuesday afternoon, though the best chance of that is Wednesday afternoon with the actual cold front pushing into the region from NY state.

Some storms could become severe with strong wind or hail, but those details will emerge more clearly as we get closer.

The bottom line is we will NOT experience a third day above 90º for Thursday, so a heat wave is not in the cards this time around.

What IS in the cards, is a return to seasonable temps by Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid 60s to mid 70s under partly sunny skies with no big rain in sight until early the following week.

Have a great day and enjoy our newfound warmth!
