8 p.m. regional radar shows a batch of showers associated with an approaching cold front heading our way for the overnight

Windy and Rainy Tuesday Night

Today marked another unseasonably warm day in the greater Lowell region, with high temperatures in the mid 70s across the area. We managed to squeeze out another nice day, with the rain holding off until later than earlier anticipated.

Don't be fooled though - its definitely coming. Rain should break out right around midnight, and last through early Wednesday.

Behind the front, skies clear and winds will turn NW and that means - yup, you got it, colder temps will be the rule for Thursday with highs topping off right where they should be for this time of year - near 60.

Game 1 of the World Series is this Wednesday night. I'll be watching from home, taking breaks between studying advanced atmospheric dynamics and cloud physics. If you're a little luckier, you'll have tickets to the game at Fenway. The series opener starts at 8 pm, and right now conditions look to be mostly cloudy with temps right around 58F. Although the computer models have kept a chance for showers in the picture, I think the rain will be offshore by evening, so as it looks now, I don't expect any rain delays. We'll have another update for you tomorrow.

Enjoy the beautiful weather Thursday and Friday because right now the weekend is looking cloudy with scattered showers.
