Welcome to May! 8pm sunsets and start of the growing season!

Starting the month of May with clouds...most of the rest of today stays dry, few coastal showers Thursday

Textbook Asperitas clouds today in eastern MA

Lots to look forward to in May...8pm sunsets, growing season begins and average highs hitting 70!

April is going to finish as a fairly 'average' month...

The rainfall this morning was the first measurable rain in Boston since April 20th...the streak of 9 consecutive dry days was the longest since last August!

Reminder! The WBZ NEXT Weather Team is airing a half hour climate special tonight at 9pm on TV38 and Sunday at 1pm on WBZ!

There is a warmup in store early next week but as always, it comes with stipulations...Farther west you live the better chance you have of more time spent in the 70s or hitting 80

Attention early risers! You will be able to see Mars, Saturn and the ISS before sunrise tomorrow morning!

Another chilly night ahead, similar to last night. Freeze warnings are posted for areas where the growing season has begun, but in actuality, there is a freeze risk in all of southern New England

A special half hour climate special from the NEXT WBZ Weather team!

A few downpours out there this evening nothing severe. Perhaps a rainbow or two on the other side as well.

Full 'pink' Moon tonight!

Frost-free tonight but Thursday and Friday morning will be chilly/frosty again

It is not at all unusual to have a few more frosty mornings in late April

We are in for some chilly mornings this week...a good reminder that it is still too early to plant anything other than the most hardy stuff

Reminder that we likely have NOT seen our final frost of the season yet for most folks...certainly could be some frost/freeze days next week

Boston had its warmest day of the year so far today at 72 degrees...also the warmest day in 170 days

Back edge of this morning’s rain will push through the area in the next few hours. There may be some additional thunder over southeastern MA with this final push.

Now that one-minute ASOS station data is available for the US for Monday's solar eclipse, here's a loop of the 30-minute temperature change from the eclipse.

Even locations far from totality experienced a pronounced drop in temperatures due to the decreased solar radiation!
