Although the cool weather has ameliorated this week, temperatures are still running below normal. Tomorrow will see a bit of a setback in the warming department as a springtime nor'easter blows our way. Clouds, rain, and most importantly easterly winds will bring a chill to the day. Showers may begin by late this evening, but the steady rain isn't expected to be here until the early morning hours. Tomorrow morning's commute may be on the wet side as one or two inches of rain are expected between 4 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday will be much like yesterday –mostly sunny, highs 50-55. Friday is the first day of the year in which the normal high is 60 degrees.

It's not just sailors that should be delighted today. Last night's red skies were a harbinger of three days of beautiful weather. Sunlight takes its longest path through the atmosphere at sunrise and sunset. If the sky is clear along that long path the green and blue portions of the sun's rays get scattered and absorbed by air molecules, leaving more yellows, oranges and reds. Since our weather generally moves from west to east, a red sunset means clear skies to our west and fair weather approaching. And fair our weather will be!
