St. Patrick’s Day on Sunday features parades and festivals around New England, but a storm in the area is likely to cause scattered showersThursday is the preview of spring that many have been waiting for since it first appeared on our First Alert 10-day forecast.
A warm front crossed New England Wednesday night into Thursday morning, dropping little more than a few showers but marking an influx of new air. That said, the warm front hasn’t gone far past us, so with a relatively light wind, sea breezes are sure to kick up along the coast and will keep high temperatures within about 10-15 miles of the coast in the 50s, owing to the 40 degree ocean water.
The abundant clouds and early ocean breeze becoming northerly during the afternoon will mean temperatures struggle to surpass 50 degrees in eastern New England, though western New England will land near 60 degrees by day’s end. Although a renewed, isolated shower is possible in southern New England overnight Friday night, overall, a drying trend will deliver fair sky and pleasant temperatures in the 50s regionwide Saturday — the clear pick of the weekend.
