Surge of heat returns after a hot Sunday. Monday in the 70s, but jumping to the 90s for Tuesday & Wednesday. It'll be the first time since 2021 that Boston reaches 90° in the month of May. #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

The weekend New Englanders have been waiting for! After a cool Friday, 70s & sunshine on Saturday. Then, 80s and a couple of spotty sprinkles on Sunday. Pattern lines up for the warmest/driest full weekend in two months! #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com

Past years with similar sea surface temps & a strong El Niño signal = increased tropical activity (red) along the East Coast. Still unlikely, but this area has a touch less shear. Bob formed in '91 & made landfall in New England. #boston #hurricane #elnino #superelnino @bostonglobe.com

Would you trade a soggy/cool Thu/Fri for a mild & mostly dry weekend? For the first time in two months, we should see a warmer-than-normal & mostly dry weekend! The rain Thu & Fri will be beneficial to help the drought while avoiding flooding. Up to 3". #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

A rainy pattern continues across Boston and New England on Wednesday PM, Thursday, and into Friday. No flooding issues here. Honestly, we need the rain with the prolonged drought. Pretty cool how multiple lows sharing energy move around each other. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Summer outlook for New England — average start with a hot finish. El Niño impacts boost temps, heat waves, humidity, & t-storms. A likely summer extension in fall & a mild winter. Precip in chunks, but about average. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/12/m... #mawx #riwx #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Drought building across New England. April was really dry for 90% of the area, with deficits of 1-3" across the board. If we don't get some persistent rain, we'll have a rough summer & fall in terms of water use/wildland fires. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/11/m... #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Week ahead across New England. Mostly dry Mon & Tuesday with rain chances arriving Wednesday evening. Highs into the 60s most of the week. #boston #mawx #riwx #nhwx #newengland @bostonglobe.com

79° at Logan, the warmest day of the year so far ☑️ #boston @bostonglobe.com

Northeast during past strong El Niño events from 10/1-3/31. Not pictured is '23-'24, which ended up much warmer & wetter than average. A bit of a mixed bag, but expect warmer temps & humidity during 2nd half of summer & into fall. Winter stays mild. More coastal storms in winter. @bostonglobe.com

The latest El Niño models show an average of 2.9 - 3°C jump in sea surface temps in the zone — which would make this the strongest El Niño event on record, jumping the 1877-1888 event that led to extreme global temperatures and expansive, prolonged drought. #elnino #superelnino @bostonglobe.com

You're looking at the strong storm that just missed #NewEngland yesterday, dumping 4-8" of wet snow over portions of Nova Scotia. There could have been some May snow for portions of Maine if this stayed west. Still, a few inches fell on Mt. Washington! #mawx #boston #novascotia @bostonglobe.com

If only we could shift this warm shot to the weekend, many of us would be happier! 70s in play to start the week across # Boston on Monday & Tuesday. The next widespread rain comes on Wednesday. #mawx #newwngland @bostonglobe.com

What a tale of two seasons wrapped in one month. April began very warm with an average. temperatures about 4° warmer than average, then the elevator dropped. Temps were colder than average for 12 of the last 13 days. Boston ended up .1° cooler than average — wow. @bostonglobe.com #boston #mawx

Today's rain will help New England a bit, especially up north, with the prolonged drought that has been heightened since June 2025. Extending further, there have been excessively dry or drought conditions across the region since May of 2024. Yay for rain! @bostonglobe.com

Sunday looks a bit interesting with a close pass of a coastal system. Looks like light showers to plain rain for the most part, but Sunday's outdoor plans are in jeopardy. Nothing crazy, but a change from the outlook earlier in the week. @bostonglobe.com

Scattered showers for Boston on Thursday morning, steady, beneficial rain up north. Well below the flooding threshold. Should help with the drought. #mawx #mewx #nhwx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

El Niño is likely in the next 60 days, but there's a lag until impacts are felt around New England. El Niño = warmer seas west of equatorial South America > jet stream behaves differently > #NewEngland sees warmer temps & longer periods between rain, probably by late July. @bostonglobe.com

Wednesday will see some coastal clouds and spotty sprinkles with a potent system arriving Wednesday night. The cool stretch with coastal temps in the 50s, 60s across the interior continues across #NewEngland #boston #mawx @bostonglobe.com

Weather balloon launch schedules in high-severe weather risk areas have been changed: delayed or down to 1-per day. Forecasting accuracy has taken a hit with the GFS. Some warnings are an hour or less now. We're not supposed to be regressing. @bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/28/m...

The 1st Weather Madness bracket has wrapped — HURRICANE has been crowned the most epic weather phenomenon of them all. Size, power, and beauty all wrapped into one. The crown suits it well. Thanks to all who voted! #mawx #boston #newengland #weather @bostonglobe.com

New England sees high pressure hang on between two systems on Tuesday. Staying cool though. Highs to 50s along the coast, warmest past I-95 into the 60s. Our next rain comes Wednesday PM - Thursday AM @bostonglobe.com

Pretty calm and relatively cool start to the week for #Boston. 50s for Boston on Monday, warmer to the 60s inland. Next chance for rain arrives Wednesday p.m.! #mawx @bostonglobe.com

With severe weather events increasing across these regions, I find it nothing but a major forecast challenge taking in soundings this late in the day while severe weather starts to ramp up. NWS needs help to launch balloons earlier & consistently. Warnings need to happen earlier, not later.

New England earthquakes deep dive after last week's 4.0 in Ottawa that reached VT. 30-47 years pass between 5.0+ shakes. The last one? 2002 in upstate NY. We see shallow quakes, and the old, dense bedrock makes quakes travel far & wide. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/23/m... @bostonglobe.com

Dry and breezy conditions elevated fire risk across Southern New Hampshire today. I know it's the warmest day this week so far, but maybe hold off on any fire pits in the back yard tonight. #nhwx #mawx #concord #manchester #newhampshire

The Worcester Art Museum has 2 new exhibits on weather & climate! Both are mesmerizing & very engaging. I wrote about my trip & chatted with the artists & curators. Or you can visit :) www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/22/m... #mawx #worcester #boston @worcesterartmuseum.bsky.social @bostonglobe.com

April got off to a near-record warm start across New England. If the month ended today, it would be the 2nd warmest Apr. on record, 4.3° above the 30-year norm ('91-'20). Cool stretch this week, April still ends warmer than usual. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/21/m... #boston @bostonglobe.com

Cooler temps will hang out over New England for the rest of the week. Why? Thanks to a blocking pattern keeping a pair of lows rotating cooler air & showers over the region. Highs across Boston & Southern New England held to 40s on Wednesday, 50s the rest of the way. @bostonglobe.com

Cold out there this morning. A couple of record morning lows. Even Boston slipped to 33°. Feeling cool for the rest of the week, really. #mawx #boston @bostonglobe.com

The forecast was nearly spot on. Good stuff for athletes and even spectators. Sprinkles held south, and those along the course hardly reached the surface. Despite increasing clouds, it was the perfect day! #mawx #boston #marathon #bostonmarathon @bostonglobe.com

Bunches of clouds rolling into Eastern Mass now. This will hold temps to the upper 40s and low 50s. So far, sprinkles have held west of the marathon route and hardly reached the surface. #mawx #marathon #boston @bostonglobe.com

Heading to Fenway? Chilly came on tap with temps in the upper 40s and low 50s and a bit of a breeze. The Yankees come to town Tuesday - Thursday. Cool and dry for the night games. #boston #bostonredsox #redsox @bostonglobe.com

Tailwinds have set up some of the fastest races in history. 2011 had a 20 mph westerly tailwind which set the still-standing men's record of 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 2 seconds by Geoffrey Mutai. Other fast races with a steady tailwind? 2010, 2016, and 2017. #boston #bostonmarathon @bostonglobe.com

A bit cold waiting at the starting line with runners for the 130th Boston Marathon. Current temperatures for the 30,000+ runners in Hopkinton are in the upper 30s. Wind chill puts you at the low 30s, that's frosty. Some sun & high clouds are out. When runners begin, they'll enjoy the weather.

#BostonMarathon weather update! Still trending cooler, low 40s in the morning, upper 40s & low 50s in the afternoon. Spot shower chance - late morning and early afternoon from a sliver of energy. Slight tailwind around 10 mph. #mawx #boston #marathon @bostonglobe.com

Boston Marathon Forecast: Sunday showers clear the way for a cool, dry, breezy race day. Runners will love it, temps rising from low 40s to 50° with a tailwind of 10-15 mph. Decreasing clouds, a spot sprinkle chance, but most stay dry. #mawx #bostonmarathon #boston @bostonglobe.com

Overnight showers slow to exit, but will make the region a nudge cooler today. Here are your Friday highs. A spot shower or general t-storm is still possible. @bostonglobe.com

90° in Mass for the first time this year @ Westfield-Barnes (near Springfield). Daily record sits at 93° set in 2012. Also, a 93° reading in Warwick, RI.

Backdoor front at it again. Take a look at high temperatures across southern New England on Thursday. 50s and 60s along the coast, 70s and 80s shortly inland. #mawx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com n

Severe threat returns to New England today with a bit of a tornado risk. Chances are low. Mainly Tuesday afternoon and evening. Small hail and strong wind gusts, too. Pay attention to any weather alerts. Areas to watch: Northern Berkshires, South/Central Vermont. #vtwx #mawx @bostonglobe.com

Sea breeze is knocking down the temperatures. 30° difference in just a few miles inland. Wow. #boston @bostonglobe.com

Scattered t-storms this evening & into the night. One or two severe storms possible with gusty winds to 60 mph, mainly south of the Mass Pike. #mawx #riwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com

Severe t-storm watch issued for portions of Western Mass. (Berkshires) & Southern Vermont. Storms are expected to push in through the evening. Damaging gusts to 70 mph & small hail possible. @bostonglobe.com

4.0 earthquake in #Ottawa. Folks in #Burlington may have felt a little something moments ago. @bostonglobe.com

Final showdown of Weather Madness! Hurricane vs. Northern Lights. Cast your vote in the story!

Severe storm risk update: Storms fire up quickly from atmospheric instability. Starting ~ 4 p.m and marching east, reaching Boston somewhere between 6 and 8 p.m. Strongest severe risk west of Worcester, but still 60-70 mph gusts are possible with heavy downpours. @bostonglobe.com

Updated risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon with damaging wind gusts possible, mainly from 2 pm to 9 pm. #mawx #vtwx #riwx #ctwx #mewx #nhwx #boston @bostonglobe.com
