In tonight’s Evening Essentials, Matt Noyes reviews the record-setting warmth that blanketed New England today and previews a mild, breezy night. While a quick sprinkle or light shower may accompany a passing cold front this evening, drier, cooler air will follow, with temperatures staying around the 50s in central and southern New England and 40s in the north. Tomorrow remains warmer than seasonal averages, with highs reaching 65-70°F, though cooler than today, and a steady breeze from the west-northwest may still elevate brush fire risk. Additional cooling is expected by Friday night with a reinforcing cold front, ushering in a chillier weekend. More details on the weekend and next week are available in the latest 1DegreeOutside insights.
