=== NWS Regional Summary - 603 AM EST FRI MAR 21 2003 ===
Rainfall late yesterday and overnight averaged between one half and 1" across
much of southern New England. Scattered thunderstorms accompanied a warm front
from Hartford to Providence and Boston. The southerly winds pushing the front
gusted between 35 and 45 mph along the coast, causing a notable rise in
temperatures during the night in the I 95 corridor. Once the showers and low
clouds dissipate later this morning, a rather warm afternoon will follow.
Temperatures are expected to rise well up into the 50s and 60s. The unstable
airmass will yield a few showers and thunderstorms late today or more likely
tonight as the warm front turns around, and moves back south as a cold front.
Dense fog and much cooler temperatures will sweep into northeast Massachusetts
this evening and should proceed southwestward into northern Rhode Island and
central Massachusetts by daybreak. Tonights lows will be within a few degrees
of 40. Saturday should see a mix of clouds and sunshine and still mild
temperatures in the 50s to around 60. An exception could be coastal
Massachusetts where dense fog and chilly ocean winds may put a damper on
beachwalking.
