YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, I hope your plants, fruit trees and other green and flowering life forms survived this morning’s dip below freezing, let me know what you’re seeing out there.
We have another similar night ahead into early Friday morning with very cold temps expected in the 20s to low 30s, with potential for some upper teens in far northern MA, on up into SVT, so rinse and repeat the protection protocols for tonight if you’re plant beings survived.
Massive high pressure brings the sunshine during the day and clear skies at night, clarifying and revealing the great cosmic window to the Universe, so soak up the cosmic energy, galactic citizens of the Milky Way!
Highs are coolest day, sitting in the 50s, with cold lows in the 20s to low 30s tonight, and some upper teens possible in northernmost areas.
Highs climb into the upper 50s to low 60s for Friday and Saturday (may reach the mid 60s to start the weekend, actually).
By Saturday afternoon, clouds build with a warm front approaching the region thanks to high pressure setting south of us and pumping the first solid batch of warmer Springtime air into New England starting Sunday and lasting into next week.
We’ll get some showers Saturday night with said warm front, but it doesn’t look like much rain at all, maybe a quarter inch tops.
Showers should abate sometime Sunday morning which is mostly cloudy, but trends to partly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 60s, and possibly low 70s if we get a bigger period of sunshine early enough in the afternoon. Lows will be in the low 50s.
Monday looks quite warm with highs in the 70s under partly sunny skies!
However, a pair of cold fronts may be clouding us back up by the Tuesday through Thursday period with periods of scattered showers. It doesn’t look like washout right now, but I will parse things out for you as we get closer.
For now, it’s a big green-light for an abundance of yellow-white light.
Enjoy and have a great day!

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
