This verified way warmer

It almost always does. Next week may be 70+ everyday . Some are calling for assmist and -NAO right into May but others tossed that idea

Peepers peeping for the first time.  Extremely late this year.  Even the white throated sparrows started singing before them.

First time ? They’ve been out for a month

got to love it!  perfect day for a hike, I'm probably going to do something relatively easy

Saturday:

Saturday is shaping up to be one of the warmest days thus far
in the year 2025, as the warm front passing to our north will
leave behind anomalously warm low-level temperatures by mid-
April standards. 925 mb temps tomorrow will be warming to around
+16-18C, with temps at 850 mb around +12-14C. Even though we`ll
still have a canopy of at least high clouds that may lead to
more of a filtered-sun look, temps should soar well into the 70s
to low 80s away from the South Coast/Cape and Islands (60s).
Quite a bit different than last Saturday when we were mired in
gray overcast and in the mid 30s to low 40s! The warm
temperatures will be met by continued SWly breezes, around 25-30
mph.

Weird, they have been out here for at least a week, maybe even 10 days

Deep summer 5 mile run this morning. Felt great out there.

Special day on tap.

850 mb temps have trended a degree or so slightly warmer than 24 hrs ago. With WSW flow and mixing towards 850mb away from southern and eastern coasts, and l unseasonably warm temps aloft (+1-2 STD 850mb temps), have continued to lean to NBM 50-75th percentile and HRRR. With temps already starting near seasonable highs this morning, widespread high temps in the upper 70s to mid 80s are expected away from southern and eastern coastal
areas (greater maritime influence). This will result in temps approaching records for the date for a few spots. NBM deterministic is still generally running in the lower 25th
quartile of guidance for max temps today, which appears to be low based on the anomalously warm airmass.

Hrrr has like 87 for HFD

Man, even the oak buds are swelling. Norways are starting to go wild. Leaf out rapid.

I love it, we finally turned the corner. Feel so good so naked so free.

[CoastalWx]

I did it

Vis looks like shit.

Min 48.5° and we haven’t risen much from that.

Gets close to the warm season and already clouds invade NNE. 

[CoastalWx]

Some of this cirrus probably breaks up a bit this aftn.

[dendrite]

Hope so. Tough way to run 80s in mid April. I’m primed and ready to blow a gasket midday over failed heat.

[Damage In Tolland]

HRRR always overdoes clouds.. it’s also way overdone on those storms this evening. Nothing else has anything like that .

And yeah, I pulled out cloud clowns. lol

But upstream looks fairly putrid early. I suppose we don’t need many breaks with a warm airmass to get enough mixing for 75-85, but I’d rather have yesterday than this on the weekend.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

It’s mostly sunny here just high clouds expecting 82-87 here. Will be on the baseball fields for 10 hours today bring on the heat! This evening looks like mid summer with temps in the 70s with moderate humility and some thunder showers around.

I do think they’ll be more clouds up your way.

yeah ...not impressed with this at all.   i was afraid of this.   we'll see how it plays out.  sometimes these morning contamination looks erode back as the sun works, but seeing the guidance with waves of 700, 400, 300 mb > 60% doesn't looks like a scenario that exactly over achieves relative to what it could be.

  but we've suffered bottom dweller saturday's back to back recently so this is panacea by comparison. no complaints.

Nice trough here and ridging to the north. Ass potential.

Bloody marys this am?  Eps looks fine

Eh, looks zonal

Tuesday Night through Friday:

A cold front moves through Tuesday night into early Wednesday
morning. This will bring a slightly cooler airmass in for
Wednesday, but still slightly above normal with highs in the 60s
in most places. Similar pattern stays in place through the end
of the week with zonal flow and 850mb temperature anomalies
signaling slightly above normal temperatures. Ensemble guidance
shows a signal for a more unsettled pattern Friday into the
weekend with potential for periodic chances for precipitation.
