The national weather service has issued a
Wind Advisory from 2-8 PM for Eastern MA, the Cape & Islands, Southern Worcester County and Rhode Island.

| NWS Boston headlines |
This storm continues the active weather pattern of the last few weeks across the northeast. A triple point low will move northeast into Ontario/Quebec. Notice the three fronts on the surface chart. The first has temporarily (sorry) kicked the below average cold back to Canada. With this is the first slug of rain.

| WPC surface analysis 8 am |
The second boundary contains the heaviest downpours and perhaps some thunderstorms. Here is the regional radar.

| NWS Northeast Regional Radar |
It's pouring in Maryland and SE Pennsylvania. Philly is next for the heavy downpours. NYC gets it between 1-2 PM while New England taps the strong low level energy and is dumped on all afternoon. The simulated radar at 4 pm

As the low level energy is tapped winds can gust 40-50 mph. This is especially true in Southern CT, RI, Southeastern Worcester County up along 495 and east to the coast.
 |
| NWS Boston Maximum wind gusts |
Total rainfall is going to end up 1-2" in Southern New England. There looks to be a bullseye across the Green and White Mountains which combined with the snow melt could lead to river flooding.
 |
| WPC total 48 hr precipitation forecast through Sat 8 am |
Finally without trying to piss off everyone I mentioned that these 50s were temporary. That is because we are back in the 30s and 40s this weekend. It is possible we see some snow.

| WPC surface forecast 8 am Saturday |
Where is spring? That's a good question. Perhaps some warmer weather toward the middle and end of next week. I'll have more on the potential snow as that situation evolves.
