A NOTE FROM HELENE HOLMES…
“I have loved every weather calendar that you have done, Dave. When I was teaching, it was perfect for my fifth graders to learn more about weather terminology and concepts. I have kept past calendars to reread them. So much info in one place! This is a very professional, well-organized piece of work. I gift it to my son as well to share with his two sons.”

WEATHER REPORT
Good morning everybody, our spate of fair and warmer than average temps continues through Monday of next week, so if you’re a winter detester, a snow-mudgeon, or a cold-season Grinch, the next 5 days are ones to savor, before we start stepping down into cooler times ahead.
For today, high pressure from a big 1030mb high that is floating east off of the New England coastline will provide dry conditions, sunny skies, and highs in the 65-70º range for most of us, with lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s with a light southwest wind, and clear skies tonight.
On Friday, after some patchy morning fog, more sunshine is expected as a strong upper ridge builds along the eastern seaboard. Highs will again rise into the mid 60s to low 70s with partly cloudy skies at night and lows near 50º.
By Saturday, low pressure will be forced north of southern New England as per the upper ridge in place, which will send that low center’s warm front towards the region. This means we can expect partly sunny skies with highs in the low to mid 70s with a few showers possible at night, as lows bottom out near 60º.
Sunday will be the cloudiest of the two weekend days, with scattered showers and highs either side of 70º, with showers quitting at night and lows dropping to the mid 50s.
Monday will be our last warm day with highs either side of 70º under mostly sunny skies, which will be followed by a cold front moving through Monday night. Lows will be in the low 40s.
Tuesday into the middle of next week looks much cooler than the days preceding it, and the greater WMass region can expect a return to 50s for highs and 30s for lows through the rest of next week with fair weather and northwest flow. Some showers will be possible by next weekend.
Have a great day, and pick up a few 2023 weather calendars, they’re wicked good (info at Dave’s website link below):
