Back to wind chills.

NEW RECORD HIGH: 71 Providence, 70 New Bedford yesterday
New Bedford’s old record for yesterday was 58 and Providence 60.  Today’s record for New Bedford is 58. They could just tie it or break that one as well.

As a cold front and low pressure approach from the west, we’ll get a steady rain from 9 am to 3pm today. The front moves east and a drying gusty northwesterly wind takes control for the start of the weekend. Plan for a windy Friday evening with falling temperatures through the 40s. It will feel like the teens and 20s!

The cold front moves through early afternoon. Most of the rain falls between 9 am and 3 pm. We’ll dry out this evening. Plan for a chilly evening as temperatures drop with windy conditions.

Brrrr….! Back to feel-like temperatures in the teens and 20s.

It’s tougher to get an appreciable snowfall with more daylight from a stronger sun. It’s even tougher to keep it on the ground once March arrives. No snow is in our forecast through next Wednesday. A storm may bring a wintry mix to parts of New England late next week.
