Mother's Day Edition
Jason Samenow @ 8:35 AM
Happy Mother's Day. The weather could not be much better. Expect beautiful sunshine today with a steady northerly breeze. High temperatures should reach the low 70s, which is exactly average for this time of year. If we hit 73, it will be the first time in over a week that temperatures reached average levels.The current warming trend should continue through the middle part of the coming week. Forecast details for the week ahead will appear in tomorrow's post.
While we've been enjoying 70 degree weather, New England has been getting hammered with wind, rain and unseasonably cold temperatures. The Boston Globe reports power outages, high seas, 1-2 inches of rain and generally miserable conditions.
New National Weather Service Radar Image Display Coming Soon
WxNation's blog directed me to "experimental" radar images the National Weather Service is making available. The new radar image for our area (based out of Sterling, VA) is not yet available, but you can preview the look and feel at Boston's site, for example.
SpaceWeather.com Offers Mother's Day Sky Viewing Idea
Here's the blurb:
Got a mom? Take her outside on Sunday, May 8th--that's Mother's Day--at sunset. Face west. As the twilight sky fades to black, Venus and the slender crescent Moon will emerge. You'll need a clear view of the horizon to spot them, hanging low, but it's worth a try--they're prettier than roses!Thanks to WxNation for this tip.
