Video Forecast: Falling temperatures today, rain arriving for part of Easter
ESSEX COUNTY INTO SOUTHEASTERN NEW HAMPSHIRE AS WELL, AND THEN DOWN TOWARD THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS AS WELL, PARTICULARLY NANTUCKET. YOU’RE UNDER SEVERE DROUGHT RIGHT NOW, AND THIS IS MAYBE A LITTLE CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK. AGAIN, BECAUSE THAT SNOW THAT WE HAD JUST WAS NOT THAT PLENTIFUL IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IT HAD. I’M GOING TO STEP OUT OF THE WAY HERE. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT WE’VE ONLY HAD IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. TWO OF THOSE MONTHS WHERE OUR RAIN HAS GOTTEN ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THE MONTH. AND YOU CAN SEE WE’VE HAD PLENTY OF MONTHS IN THE RED HERE. SO NOT WHERE WE WANT TO BE. WE COULD BE DOING A LOT WORSE. BUT YEAH, WE’VE, WE’VE GOT A WAYS TO GO TO MAKE UP FOR SOME OF THAT RAIN. WE WILL GET SOME TOMORROW. UNFORTUNATELY TIMED OUT WITH EASTER AND ANOTHER ROUND ON TUESDAY. SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. DOESN’T LOOK LIKE WE’LL HAVE ANY HEAVY RAIN COMING OUT OF EITHER OF THESE TWO SYSTEMS NEXT 12 HOURS THOUGH. LET’S GET THROUGH TODAY. AN ABRUPT COOL DOWN HEADING OUR WAY BY MIDDAY TODAY. OUR NEXT THREAT. IT’S GOING TO BE THAT RAINFALL FOR TOMORROW. I’LL HELP YOU TIME THAT OUT AND PLAN. AND AS FOR TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEKEND, SEVEN DAYS FROM NOW, JURY’S STILL OUT. I SEE SOME HINTS THAT WE MIGHT BE UNDERGOING SOME CHANGES. KIND OF LIKE WHAT WE HAVE TODAY WITH THE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT. ANOTHER MODEL IS SAYING NO 70S ARE POSSIBLE. SO, YOU KNOW, IT’S LITERALLY CLOSE YOUR EYES, THROW A DART AT THIS POINT IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES FOR NEXT WEEKEND, CLOUDS ABOUND OUT THERE. WE DO HAVE SOME SPLASHES OF SUNSHINE. NOT A BAD LOOKING DAY OUT THERE AT ALL. A COUPLE OF COLD FRONTS WILL COME THROUGH. THE SECOND ONE. THAT BACKDOOR COLD FRONT, WHICH WILL USHER IN THE COLDER AIR. HERE’S THE RAINFALL COMING OUR WAY FOR TOMORROW. LET ME TALK ABOUT FUTURECAST FOR TODAY. WATCH AS TEMPERATURES FALL. SO THE WARMEST OR MILDEST PART OF THE DAY IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. AS WE GET TOWARD LUNCHTIME INTO THE AFTERNOON, IT TURNS A WHOLE LOT COOLER AS OUR A WIND SHIFT DIRECTION AND COMES AT US FROM THE EAST. FORECAST FOR TONIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO DO KIND OF THE OPPOSITE OF THE OPPOSITE. 38 TO START. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? 44 BY MORNING. SO TEMPERATURES RISE A LITTLE BIT AS WE GET LATER INTO THE OVERNIGHT. THAT MEANS FOR SUNRISE SERVICES TOMORROW IT WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY. THERE WILL BE SOME SHOWERS, BUT THAT WILL BE THE DRIEST PART OF THE DAY. 42 TO START. 57 IN THE AFTERNOON. STEADIER SHOWERS COMING OUR WAY. FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH EASTER, LATE BRUNCH OR EARLY DINNER PLANS, I WOULD HAVE AN INDOOR OPTION. I WOULDN’T PLAN ON DOING THAT OUTSIDE AT THIS POINT. IT WILL BE MILD FOR TOMORROW. MILDER ONCE AGAIN, AND THEN THE COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH, BRINGS AN END TO THE RAINFALL. WE DRY OUT FOR MONDAY, BUT IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER AS TEMPERATURES START TO FALL. SO LET ME SHOW YOU HERE. THERE ARE THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS LOOKING AT 10:00 TOMORROW MORNING. WE GET INTO MORE STEADY OR HEAVIER SHOWERS AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SO JUST PLAN ON THAT. THAT’S WHY I’VE GOT THE IMPACT FLAG UP FOR TOMORROW. IMPACT WEATHER BECAUSE WELL, YOU’RE GOING TO BE IMPACTED. YOUR PLANS ARE GOING TO TAKE A HIT BECAUSE OF THE RAINFALL TOMORROW, MIDDAY AFTERNOON, DRIEST PART OF THE DAY IN THE MORNING. WE BEGIN NEXT WEEK IN THE 50S, 40S ON TUESDAY. AND IT DOES LOOK WET. AND THEN A SLOW RECOVERY TEMPERATUR
