Cool Weather Stays on the Scene Through April

The weather has stayed chilly for most of the month, even after a warm spell last week. Many places are still under 50 degrees today, and clouds are piling up. They might bring a light shower or two, which could affect runners on the Boston Marathon course. Tonight, the sky will clear and winds calm down, setting up a cold start for Tuesday. Wind chills could drop into the 20s, and a sea breeze will keep coastal temperatures low.On Wednesday, winds shift from the south, limiting how warm the South Coast, Cape Cod and nearby islands can get. The day will stay cloudy with a small chance of rain, and temperatures won’t rise above 50 degrees. Looking back at April, the month has been evenly split between warm and cool days—about a 50/50 mix. Yet the cold trend seems stuck in place and is likely to continue through the rest of the month.
