Weekend Weather: Clearing, Cooler Temperatures And An Extra Hour Of Sleep

A cold front has now pushed off the coastline as Canadian air returns to the region. Last evening's warmth and humidity were at the far end of average for this time of the year.

These are the final couple of days of daylight saving time. Remember, we get an extra hour of sleep Saturday night into Sunday. This also means that the sun will rise before 6:30 a.m. Sunday and set before 5 p.m. that evening.

A lot of folks tend to not like all the darkness, no matter what we do with the clocks. The great thing about living in New England is we do have these wild swings throughout the year, losing more than six hours of daylight between June and December. It can feel over 100 degrees in summer or lower than 20 below zero just six months later.

This weekend will be bright. The sun doesn’t have as much power to heat the earth anymore. With all the blue sky and the still changing leaves, it’s a good time enjoy fall. Local farms are often still open and temperatures will be mild enough for some late season golf or a long run.
