Temperatures will drop into the low 30s for First Night festivities.
Back in the early 1960s when weather satellites were launched, they afforded meteorologists a great opportunity to actually see how clouds were moving across the globe. More than 60 years later, we continue to rely on satellites as one of the primary weather tools, especially for short-term forecasting.
The satellite loop Friday morning showed clouds socked in across all of New England. There has been a dearth of sunshine this week, and we’re really going to have to wait until Sunday, New Year’s Eve, for it to return.
Some spotty showers or drizzle activity are possible through Saturday, along with temperatures not changing much between the day and the night.
When you have thick clouds like this, it doesn’t allow the solar radiation during the day to have much of an impact, so temperatures don’t change a lot.
