April showers bring — you know the drill
With the exception of a few rainy and cloudy days (and one day of snow), this past April has been filled with reasonably pleasant weather. We finish the month with uncertainty as a set of warm and cold fronts drift over the region. There could be periods of rain or showers throughout the next two days, but even our local NWS forecasting office is uncertain of when or how much rain will arrive. Bring your umbrella, just in case!
Luckily, we expect to see some beautiful weather return for the start of May. This weekend, expect partly cloudy skies and warming temperatures. As temperatures start to warm up, expect thick green leaves to replace the beautiful flowers on trees lining the sidewalks throughout the city. The Boston Public Garden is also celebrating spring with thousands of blooming tulips. The tulips should be at peak bloom for another week or so; if you can, enjoy the nice weather this weekend with a walk into Boston!
