Weather: April Showers...
By Nikki PriveSTAFF METEOROLOGIST -- In contrast to the past few weeks, we will see more seasonable April weather this weekend, including some April showers. Daytime temperatures will slowly warm through Saturday under a high pressure system. On Sunday, however, we may see some rain due to an approaching low, and temperatures will cool slightly. The rain is quite welcome, as April so far has seen only half of the normal amount of precipitation, and the state remains under a drought watch.
Will May deliver the expected flowers? The long term forecast for the first week of May calls for cooler than normal temperatures and above average precipitation for Southern New England. The Arnold Arboretum reports that some of the early lilacs are already in bloom, and these should be joined by rhododendron, wisteria, phlox, and many others during the month of May.
