Expect the mercury to rise to either side of 70 degrees across the interior, while the immediate coastline stays cooler courtesy of a sea breeze. Northern Maine will be the only other exception, where a backdoor cold front keeps the cooler air (40s and 50s) in place.

Tomorrow, a stronger west wind will penetrate all the way to the water’s edge, allowing the warmth to do the same. At the same time, a cool front will slip through northern New England keeping temperatures there in the 50s. In any case, mostly sunny skies will prevail – what a way to kick off Spring (which starts at officially 1:32 PM by the way)!

On Sunday, the chance of showers comes into northern New England as the front shifts a little farther south and stalls near the MA/NH border. A northeast wind coming off 40 degree ocean water means temperatures will be noticeably cooler, especially along the coast. Interior southern New England will still manage to top out in the 60s.

Meanwhile, the latest forecast trend has been to slow down the next storm system expected to impact us during the beginning of next week. Monday will feature temperatures in the 50s with periodic showers that will become steadier overnight. The best chance of heavy rain will be on Tuesday, with the possibility of some flooding all over again. Sunshine and seasonable weather returns for the middle part of next week with unsettled conditions by week’s end.

Have a fantastic Spring weekend!

That flooding rain last weekend was heavy snow in the white Mountains of New Hampshire. Check the deep new snow in this SkiNH video shot Tuesday March 16, 2010 at Waterville Valley New Hampshire.

A modestly strong westerly wind should keep the chilly ocean breezes at bay allowing the warm temperatures to reach all the way to our coastlines. I bet our own Tim Kelley could tell us the last time we reached 70 degrees here at NECN. I’m going to guess one of those really warm days back in the beginning of November. I’ll be watching the observations carefully today and will tweet if anyone reaches that magical number.

Meanwhile, the length of our days has grown to just over 12 hours with sunset right before 7 PM and we’re gaining approximately 3 more minutes of sunlight with each passing day. That’s great news because the sun will be shining for most of us these next few days. It also means great spring conditions for skiing, and I’m going to try and get out there one more time this weekend. Skies will become mostly cloudy in northern New England on Sunday though, with the chance of a few showers late in the day. Rain and wind moves in for all of us on Monday as a cold front slices through New England bringing cooler temperatures into the Northeast on Tuesday.

Enjoy this beautiful stretch of weather and have a great Thursday!

The heavens are lightning up Green for Saint Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2010.
It was brought to our attention we have high solar activity this week. So we checked out SpaceWeather.com.. look what we found. This letter was sent..
Dear Dr.Phillips and all at SpaceWeather.com,
May we show an aurora image from you on our NECN TV News here in New England?
We will tell everyone to go to SpaceWeather.com for more.
Also, how would you feel about us posting a photo on our NewEnglandWeather.com blog, with link and credit to you?
This is the response (ya!).
Dear Tim,
Permission granted, with pleasure. regards, Tony
Here is a brief description, and image, lifted from Dr. Tony Phillips, SpaceWeather.com.

“This green corona lit up the night sky sky over the weekend,” reports photographer Fredrik Broms of Kvaløya, Norway. “It was absolutely breathtaking–and the best may be yet to come!”

He’s right. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading toward Earth and it could spark strong geomagnetic activity when it arrives on March 17th or 18th. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

Mostly clear skies should make for fine viewing the next couple nights, though some clouds are crossing northern New England, where we set more record high temperatures again today. More of the same into the weekend! Our first 70° since December 3, 2009 will be Thursday or Friday.

A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 54 DEGREES WAS SET AT CARIBOU ME TODAY.
THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 45 SET IN 2007.

Portland ME also set record of 64°, beating 62° March 17, 1990.

Top o’ the morning to ya New England! It’s been a chilly start out there this morning with a few patchy areas of frost and black ice on some of the roads, but they will melt away quickly as temperatures rebound quite nicely; expect highs in the 60s for most of us this afternoon, although local sea breezes will keep our coastlines a few degrees cooler along with the North Country. Sunshine will dominate the skies making for a beautiful St. Patrick’s Day (too bad it couldn’t have been this nice for all of the Parades this past Sunday!).

High pressure remains in control over the next several days, so aside from a few clouds from time to time, our sunny and dry stretch of weather continues right on into the weekend. West-soutwest flow keeps us mild too and temperatures will run anywhere between 5 and 25 degrees above the average for this time of year. Keep in mind the “coolest” spots will be right along the ocean and in far northern New England.

It looks like the official start to Spring this Saturday is going to be a beauty! Somebody *may* even hit 70 degrees!

By Sunday, clouds will be on the increase out ahead of a cold front approaching from the west. It’ll be breezy as the wind picks up out of the south throughout the day. Any rain should hold off until after dark, but we’ll keep an eye on the timing and let you know if any showers are expected to creep in earlier.

The heaviest rain will fall on Monday as the front slides through, perhaps even accompanied by a few isolated thunderstorms. This will usher in noticeably cooler temperatures (in the 40s for most) next Tuesday, although the sunshine will return for another extended stay.

In the meantime, stream and river levels across New England continue to recede. For the latest information on observed and forecast river conditions, visit the Northeast River Center homepage by clicking HERE.

Have a great Wednesday!

Matt Noyes takes a moment to share video from his visit to the Burrell Elementary School in Foxborough, MA where the 2nd grade students certainly know their cloud types!

“Hi Tim,
Great day for canoeing and kayaking through the picnic groves as the temperature under blue skies hit 51 at Lake Dennison in Baldwinville, MA today. Tim and Eric are seen enjoying much fun going through what once was a picnic grove.
Paul DeMeo”

Record high temperatures were recorded in Maine again today, 60° in Bangor beat 58° on March 16, 1927. High temperature records may continue as warmth spreads southward (again). Great drying weather is forecast for New England into Sunday. A low pressure system will cross far northern Maine Thursday with colder temps for Aroostsock County. But it looks like the next storm will really wind up to our west this weekend, meaning warmth right through Sunday. As Chicago digs out from a March snowfall this weekend, we may enjoy 70 degrees and sunshine*.
*The track of the next storm may change, if so.. our forecast will change.

(NECN/AP TV) – Don’t like the smell of your dog but can’t face being scratched as you wrestle to wash your beloved pooch? Well, a company in Japan has the answer: a dog wash. Put the canine in the machine, shut the door, and select the right dog friendly program, it’s really no more difficult than washing your clothes.

But is it safe? “I had tried it first to confirm it was comfortable and safe being inside,” said dog trimmer Ayana Tada who works at Dog World in the Joyful Tokyo.

The machine sets the water at a positively Caribbean 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit).

No need to worry about the shampoo either, it’s easy on the eyes.

And since the water contains ozone your dogs’ blow dry results in a lovely fluffy hair do.

The dog wash was designed in the United States and so far Japan only has 10 machines, but at only 10 U.S. dollars for a wash and dry it is considerably cheaper than the 50 U.S. dollar hand wash alternative.

Only small dogs however need to yelp at the thought of an appointment with the dog wash, if you are large, you simply won’t fit inside!

(NECN/TVNZ) – Whale researchers returned from Antarctic waters on Monday after a six-week expedition that they said proved Japan’s annual kill of whales for scientific purposes is unnecessary. During the voyage, Australian, French and New Zealand scientists used non- lethal techniques to study whales.

It was a challenge to Japan’s scientific program, which kills up to thousand of the mammals a year, an allowed exception to the International Whaling Commission’s 1986 ban on commercial whaling.

Critics say the programme is a front for commercial whaling, with the whale meat sold for consumption in Japan.

The expedition that ended on Monday was the first in a five-year research programme in Antarctica that was proposed by the Australian government and agreed to by the IWC.

The scientists’ research focused on whale numbers, what they eat, how they move between food patches and how they travel to and from their breeding grounds in the central Pacific.

“All of those questions can be and are being answered using non-lethal techniques,” expedition leader Nick Gales told reporters on Monday.

A Japanese Fisheries Agency official in charge of whaling issues, told The Associated Press in Tokyo there are some data that can only be obtained through lethal ways, including age, stomach contents and fertility rate.

He said Japan is open to any new non-lethal methods if they are proven effective.

Peter Garrett, Australia’s environment minister, said in a statement that the research showed “effective and achievable ways to collect a whole range of important data without the need to kill these mammals.”

The scientists counted mainly humpback whales, taking photos and biopsy samples from 60 of them, and attaching satellite tracking devices to about 30 of the animals to study their feeding and travel patterns.

The researchers found fairly strong recovery in some populations of humpback whales, but Gales said blue whale numbers are down around two percent from what they once were in Antarctic waters, after being “enormously heavily exploited during the industrial whaling era.”

The group saw quite a few Antarctic minke whales along the ice edge, Gales said, but the scientists were unable to study them because of difficult ice and weather conditions.

Minke whales make up the bulk of Japan’s annual hunt in Antarctic waters.

Other member countries of the 13-nation Southern Ocean Research Partnership will participate in future trips, Gales said.

Results of the voyage will be reported to the IWC at its annual meeting in Agadir, Morocco, in June.

Here’s the link to the National Weather Service Northeast River Forecast Center, housing the official river forecasts. I mentioned these on NECN today, and hope you can find some use in them… You will see green, yellow, orange, & red squares. Click on the square near you to see the latest on the river level and forecast. This chart is for The Neponset River in Norwood MA.

Even as the sunshine returns for the rest of the week, our rivers will only slowly subside to below flood stage over the next week or so. However, the rivers should mostly have crested by Tuesday Morning.

We’ll keep you posted…

Flooding Rains and Damaging Winds moved through during the overnight hours. The worst of the rain and wind are over, but the region will still feel the grip of this Nor’easter through Monday with a series of significant impacts from this storm. The storm is stalling south of New England. High Pressure in Canada, with this Low to the south is producing pronounced and persistant onshore wind with very high seas and battering waves at the coast. A deep dip in the jetstream along the eastearn seaboard is directing moisture from the tropics into New England so periodic rain can be expected through Monday before the trough finally pushes far enough eastward that drier air can finally star to move in by Tuesday to provide a stellar week of weather ahead with temps in the 50’s nearing 60! Let’s Break It All Down Inside. It is another most impressive weather event!

Damaging Wind Overnight
The winds first ravaged Fairfield County, CT Saturday Afternoon. Winds were gusting to 65 mph in Greenwich toppling trees and powerlines. At that time JFK airport was receiving a gust to 75 mph! Numerous reports of damaging winds from NJ to the Bronx through Long Island. That damaging core of wind impacted the south coast last night…arriving late at night…with the Peak winds occurring between 12 AM and 6AM in the morning. Charlestown, RI reporting a gust of 75 mph. Blue Hill Observatory gusted to 68 mph. Winds over 60 mph lashed the Cape & Islands. These winds brought down trees, limbs and blew around many unsecured items. The winds are not damaging anymore….but they remain active with sustained winds 30-45 mph at the coast. Another round of strong winds from the Northeast is possible late tonight into tomorrow. A periodic gust over 50 mph for eastern facing beaches can not be ruled out until this storm pulls away.

Coastal Flooding
Seas have quickly built to 12 to 22 feet off the coast. These waves are huge that are being directed towards our eastern facing beaches with these persistant onshore winds. This piling of water will have a significant impact during High Tides along the entire coastline of Massachusetts. Most of the next high tides will produce minor coastal flooding with pockets of moderate. Significant beach erosion is likely along with numerous road closures at these times.

Flooding Rainfall
A widespread 3-6″ rainfall will occur when all the rain is finally finished by early Tuesday morning.
Lighter amounts in western valleys and on the Cape 2-4″. We have already picked up 3-5″ in many areas and will continue to add to this total in the next 36 hours with rain continuing in eastern area. Many of us woke up to flooded streets and parking lots with the heavy downpours this morning. This heavy rain not abated and has flooded many basements too unfortunately. What a mess! The rain with Periodic downpours will last into tomorrow …so we are not out of the woods yet. Rain will end after midnight Monday. Mixing with wet snow in the NW hills Monday..where it is possible for a couple inches of snow in elevations above 1000 feet.

Flooding Rivers and Streams
Rapid rises on many rivers and streams due to the copious amounts of rainfall. The water is running off into these rivers and many in central and southern New England will go above flood stage tonight into tomorrow.
The Pawtuxet, Yantic, Charles, Assabet, Shawsheen, Spicket, Piscataquog all will likely see flooding through Tuesday…some moderate. People living along these rivers should monitor and take necessary action to protect lives and property. Most importantly…stay away from the rushing water!

THE FORECAST:

Morning
Heavy Flooding Rain & Strong Winds . Temps in the 30’s to Near 40 NE winds gusting 35 to 55 mph at the coast.

Afternoon
Heavy Rain will lift north by the midday & afternoon….lingering lighter showers persist. Windy, cool and raw. Highs Near 42. NE wind 30 to 40 mph

NECN Programming Notes

NECN will be airing the famous St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast. Starting 10 AM Sunday until 12:30 PM

Also! Do you want to watch the Parade but do not feel like braving the rain & wind?
Stay Dry and watch Comcast! Turn on Channel 283….or Channel 12 for Boston/Brookline!
We will be broadcasting the Parade Live from 12:30 PM-3 PM in all it’s Irish Glory!

Heavy Rain and wind has pushed into New England Saturday Afternoon. Winds have gusted over 60 mph in Greenwich, CT. 60 mph gust at New London, CT. 56 mph gust at Marstons Mills on the Cape. These winds have been taking down trees and power lines. These damaging winds will shift from the Cape up through eastern MA during the early morning hours. A High wind warning has been issued for NE winds 35 to 45 mph, Gusts to 60+ mph. These Strong winds are penetrating into the interior hills too! The strongest gusts will occur at the coast.

Heavy rain is producing hazardous and blinding travel tonight in downpours. Rapid rises on rivers and streams with plenty of urban flooding through tomorrow morning.
Heaviest rain will be found in Eastern Massachusetts where 3-5+” could fall by the time this is all over. Lighter amounts of rain on the Cape & in western Valleys..The rain and wind will be heavy Sunday morning and gradually work it’s way up the coast into Northern New England by Midday Sunday and Sunday afternoon. Sunday will be a very chilly raw day as highs will struggle to reach 40 degrees in the rain and wind. The morning deluge will taper to a lighter rain south for the afternoon…so conditions will become slightly better for the St. Patrick’s parade in Southie….though it will still be raining on our Parade…the worst of the storm will be winding down. Full weather Discussion Inside!

Colder air being drawn into the backside of this low with a northeast wind will be just cold enough to change any rain over to accumulating snow in the northwest hills Saturday Night…the best place for accumulating wet snow will be in the Monadnock Region, Green Mountains and the Berkshires where over 3-6″ of snow could occur above 1200′

The heaviest rain will occur in southern new England between 8 PM and 10 AM. Lingering heavy rain will continue in Northeast MA through the midday. Seas will be building off the coast to 15-25 feet offshore with this storm. This storm is stalling south of the region as it is running into a blocking area of high pressure in Canada. The differences in air pressure is creating a serious funnelling effect of wind into New England. This prolonged onshore wind will allow a piling of water during the high tides which will cause more beach erosion and the potential for minor/moderate coastal flooding. We will have to monitor each high tide cycle. Luckily we are currently in a low astronomical tide so that should keep problems at a minimum. Still a surge of 2-2.5 feet is likely with the battering waves which will help to flood your typical flood-prone areas along shore roads. The late morning high tides Sunday & Monday from Gloucester to Revere, to Scituate can expect beach erosion, road closures, flooded basements.

Lingering rain will last into through much of Monday before our Low finally pulls far enough away. High pressure will build in for the Midweek with sunshine and warming temps into the 50’s just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Highs will climb above 60 degrees by Friday! The question is does a cold front move through to cool us Saturday?…or can we squeeze out one more day in the 60’s before our next disturbance moves through to end out next weekend?

Don’t Forget!

Daylight Savings Begins this Weekend. We will be springing ahead 1 hour before going to bed Saturday Night…officially 2 AM Sunday….Sunset Sunday 6:49 PM!

Rescuers are renewing their efforts this morning to free the remaining dolphins stranded on Cape Cod. Several teams are in Wellfleet, trying to coax more of the Atlantic white-sided dolphins back into the ocean when high tide rolls in.

New England has deep snow and plenty of sunshine, for the best skiing this side of Powder. There is hope for a continuation of this great weather into at least part of the weekend. And Maine may miss this the weekend rain altogether. Check this video of Cranmore, provided by Ski New Hampshire. Trails counts are highest, and snow pack deepest of the winter.

A little bit of everything across the nation today

Yesterday I was thinking that steadier showers may try to make their way into southern New England tomorrow, but that does not look like the case (which is good news, right?). Northern New England may even hold on to some filtered sunshine through the day on Friday, while central and southern New England stay mostly cloudy.

My current thinking is that some patchy light rain and drizzle will develop on Friday night and early Saturday in southern New England. Steadier rainfall will move in during the afternoon and evening from southwest to northeast, reaching as far north as southern VT and NH. The heaviest rain arrives overnight Saturday and Sunday morning, falling the hardest south of the MA Pike. I’m still thinking rainfall totals will generally run between 1-2 inches for much of New England (lesser amounts in the North Country). A persistent onshore flow will continue through the weekend, gusting at times over 40 mph at the shore.

The storm will pass south and east of Nantucket on Monday. Counter-clockwise flow around this area of low pressure means that a north-northeast wind will wrap colder air down from eastern Canada into New England. In turn, we could be dealing with rain AND snow showers early Monday, although little if any snow should accumulate.

Random side note: 4 of my friends from my grad school days down at Florida State are visiting Beantown for the first time this weekend (2 coming from Texas, 2 from Florida)! I told them they should have come last weekend because the weather was perfect! Oh well, we’ll just need to have the umbrella handy while we tour the city.

Will update you tomorrow on any changes. Have a great Thursday!

You’ll need those shades again today because the sun just won’t stop shining (and I’m ok with that)! We’re going on Day 5 of beautiful weather here in New England, but this trend won’t last too much longer, so enjoy it while it lasts. Take a look at the forecast diagram for Concord, NH above…notice the daily sunshine duration row…ZERO sun forecast for Friday through Monday. Check out other cities by heading to weather.us. Tomorrow will start off with sunshine, but clouds will increase throughout the day in advance of the next storm. Thursday night could feature a few light showers and areas of drizzle, but there is enough dry air in place across the region that the bulk of the moisture will hold off until the weekend.

Southern and central New England will get into steadier rain on Friday and Saturday, while northern New England stays mostly dry. Bands of heavier rain will organize on Saturday night, eventually spreading into northern New England. An east wind may increase to gale force overnight on Saturday too, bringing the potential for some minor coastal flooding. Periodic rain will continue on Sunday, possibly mixing with snow in the mountains of Maine, and tapering to showers in southern and central New England.

By the end of the weekend, we could be looking at widespread rainfall totals between 1 to 3 inches. Combine that with a melting snow pack across the northern interior and flooding of our streams and rivers becomes a concern…certainly something to monitor over the coming few days.

On Monday, colder air will wrap around the backside of the storm allowing off and on rain showers to change to snow showers possibly as far south as the higher elevations of southern New England. The entire storm shifts east on Tuesday, meaning sunshine returns along with temperatures around 50!

Keep you posted on the weekend…have a great day!

What a gorgeous stretch of weather we’ve had across New England over the past several days! Temperatures yesterday soared well into the 50s and lower 60s. Portland, ME broke their previous record high of 54° (1995) reaching 56° and Bangor, ME tied their previous record of 52° (1995).

Today will be slightly cooler in the wake of a weak cold front passage overnight, but highs will still come into the 50s in southern New England, 40s central and 30s in the North Country. This cold front also brought in a reinforcing shot of dry air, and in turn, sunshine will be the rule once again this afternoon.

Wednesday will be a few degrees cooler along the coastline as a weak sea breeze develops during the afternoon. By Thursday, clouds will be on the increase, although aside from a few showers late in the day, we should remain dry. The steadier rain will hold off until after dark.

More rain and potentially some mountain snow is forecast for Friday and the weekend as a slow moving storm currently over the nation’s midsection will head towards New England, eventually moving east of the region by the beginning of next week. This could even mean some snow showers in the higher elevations of southern New England by Monday. We’ll have to watch this system closely and fine tune the details in the days to come, but for now, plan on unsettled weather Friday through Monday.

So enjoy today!

Today’s Sky Scenes exhibit the first signs of spring in New England!

We reached 60° in New England today, the nicest weather since November 19-21, 2009.
And now, for the first time since January 12-14, 2010, we are not forecasting snow or rain in New England on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Oh What a Relief! Because many of the 7 mid-week storm forecasts have busted in one way or another. We shall relish the quiet… and retool for more fun beginning this weekend and beyond. The most interesting feature on the weather map today is the same thing as yesterday and the day before and the day before. The FOG over the Northern Plains. The fog shows up on the Visible Satellite Map.. seemingly every day. Here is the view this afternoon, Monday March 8, 2010.

That storm in Texas is a slow mover. The rain will arrive Friday, and may take the weekend to get by. Wind will increase from the east and southeast, perhaps to Gale Force by Saturday. Don;t cancel your weekend plan, but prepare for a rain delay, forecasts change all the time (for example, last Wednesday, I thought we would snow this Wednesday).

Sparky

Prior to Sparky’s escape he had been neutered and a HomeAgain microchip containing a unique ID number was placed just under his skin. After he ran off, his owners posted flyers and combed the neighborhood hoping to find their lost pet. However, following two months of searching, they hoped that someone had found Sparky and would care for him.

“It was difficult to accept, and it crushed my daughter’s heart, but we hoped Sparky was safe and comfortable in someone’s home,” said Sparky’s owner. “We then decided that we would help another homeless animal. We adopted a second cat and had him neutered and microchipped as well. We never expected to see Sparky again.”

During the winter months of 2010, Sparky’s owners began receiving email reminders to update his microchip ID since it would soon expire. It was during this time that Sparky’s owner saw a familiar face in the Boston neighborhood where the cat had gone missing. However, this cat was missing a significant portion of his tail, so the owner pushed aside any final hope of seeing the missing Sparky.

Several weeks later on February 28, a cat was discovered in a foreclosed Boston property and brought to the MSPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center in Jamaica Plain. Following protocol, an MSPCA adoption center counselor scanned the incoming, abandoned cat for a microchip ID and discovered that the feline was once owned. Since the microchip ID remained up-to-date, it was then only a matter of making a quick phone call to HomeAgain that started the ball rolling on reuniting Sparky with his owners.

Nearly one year later, Sparky is now back at home playing with a new feline friend and the dog that had kept him company when he was a kitten.

“It is wonderful to have Sparky back in our lives,” said his owner. “The only difference is that he is missing a portion of his tail.”

“Microchip IDs are crucial when helping us reunite a pet with their owner,” said Meagan Rock, Director of the MSPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center in Boston. “However, it is vital that the identification information is updated regularly.”

In a 2001 study performed by the MPSCA and Dorr Research Corp. it was discovered that approximately 3 percent of stray cats that end up in shelters and adoption centers in Massachusetts are reclaimed by their owners.

(NECN) – So what about the push to Free Tilly the killer whale?

Many scientists say Tilly could never survive in the wild, but are now suggesting the use of a sea pen

A sea pen is an enclosure in the ocean that would give him more space, while also keeping him away from humans.

But others point to the death of a whale named Keiko, star of the movie Free Willy back in the 1990s.

Millions of dollars were spent on attempts to return Keiko to the wild, including supervised swims in the open ocean.

In the end, Keiko died emaciated and suffering from pneumonia in Norway.

But while Keiko did not survive, many still say Tilly could be released to that sea pen we mentioned.

Dr. Naomi Rose is a marine mammal scientist with the Humane Society of the United States.

Dr Rose believes Tilly would benefit from the move.

Dr. Rose joins us Vicki from Washington DC to talk more.

(NECN) – You may remember seeing video of a circus elephant named Tyke rampaging through the streets of Hawaii or reading about the day Franklin Park’s gorilla Little Joe escaped.

These incidents couldn’t have been more different and yet we in the public may lump them together and misunderstand them equally.

Joining Vicki Croke on the Secret Life of Animals is John Linehan, head of Zoo New England.

He’s a man whose work Vicki really respects and who can thoughtfully give the viewer a little perspective on why zoo animals may attack or run away

John call also talk about what it does or-just as important-doesn’t mean about them and their life in captivity.

(NECN) – The president of SeaWorld last week defended the park’s killer whale shows following the death of a trainer.

One thing we’ve learned from all the coverage of the incident involving Tilikum the killer whale and trainer Dawn Brancheau is that there certainly are warring camps in the animal world.

Each side reads very different things into what happened.

Joining Vicki with a free-for-all analysis are two men much too civilized to fight — AJ Cady of IFAW and John Linehan of Zoo New England.

(NECN) – Like many viewers, The Secret Life of Animals has been drawn to the story of Tilikum in the last week, the killer whale at SeaWorld who recently killed his trainer.

Did he mean to do harm?

Was he smart and aware enough to understand that trainer Dawn Brancheau was in distress?

Could the incident have been prevented?

Is it possible for a creature like him-or a captive elephant, or a tiger-to be returned to the wild?

Even the experts disagree, it’s hard to know.

With the help of some top specialists from the animal world, The Secret Life of Animal’s is going to analyze this incident at SeaWorld and revisit some similar stories.

On the Secret Life of Animals, Vicki Croke discusses what is known about killer whales in the wild and how much people don’t know about them.

Joining Vicki to discuss them is AJ Cady with the International Fund for Animal Welfare, based in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Now that is more like it! The feel of spring is in the air this weekend with temps averaging 10-15 degrees above normal. Mild daytime highs in the 40’s and 50’s and cool crisp nights below freezing is ideal weather for maple sugaring. March is known as maple sugar month after all. All over New England buckets are collecting sap from the maple trees.

With the Sun setting past 5:30 PM, The Sun is getting higher in the sky too. The stronger radiation reaching the Northen Hemisphere up to our latitudes, is really helping to eat away our snowcover. This is a good thing! We want to avoid any flooding problems with still plenty of snow in our Northwest hills. A heavy rain event with mild temperatures could create bad flooding from New England down through the Mid-Altlantic. This is something to watch out for in the coming weeks. Skiers should watch out for sunburn!
Higher elevations are closer to the stronger radiation….with the sunlight reflecting off the snow….this is a double whammy this time of year. Bring the sunscreen!

High Pressure has supplied a bone dry airmass this weekend with dewpoints in the teens, and relative humidities around 15-25%. This dry airmass, with a slight breeze helped to form scattered brushfires across New England yesterday…and could do it again today. After a cool start Sunday, more sunshine and mild temps by afternoon with highs once again in the 50’s! Some areas could approach 60 degrees in southern New England. The mild regime will last into Monday, before a cold front will bring in a cooler more typical March airmass for the midweek.

Another Pacific storm is slamming into California. This will take a while to reach us as it runs up against blocking high pressure across New England. This storm will reach us by Friday into Saturday as the low tracks south of us. Right now…it looks more wet than white, but this will be wrapping up into a potent storm providing gusty winds at the coast. It appears a series of lows will track south of us into Sunday. Temps will have a cooling trend, so by later Saturday into Sunday….some of the moisture may begin to mix with wet snow in the Northwest hills.

Looking ahead to Daylight Savings time which begins next Sunday Morning (2 AM). We will be springing ahead 1 hour.. the sun will be setting at 6:49….so gone will be the early sunsets….with more sunlight to end our days coming home from work or school!

Officially 2 more weeks until the Vernal Equinox…only 13 days away! Winter is simply runnig out of time. The winter pattern we have seen for most of the winter has broken down. The Sun is getting stronger, and there is little Arctic air in North America. The back of winter has been broken…but there is still a little more gas left in the tank which we still have to empty before we will really be into spring. So while there is not alot of cold air in the pattern, the atmophere will still remain active as we transition from winter to spring. There is still plenty of high latitude blocking, with an active subtropical jetstream delivering el-nino type storms into the nation. This is creating a split flow to the jet…which could easily come together off the east coast and direct storms up the northeast if everything comes together just right….with our next chance for storm development being next weekend.

Spring fever abounds this weekend! Enjoy it. It’s a sign of things to come, but just not immediately….in fact, we may likely not be this warm again until the end of March! Cooler air to come….just not cold. This has been the case most of the winter….cool not cold….thus snow….just not accumulating. What a meteorological headache this winter has been. Nice for Mother Nature to throw us all a bone!

With temps in the 40’s and 50’s during the day, and lows near freezing with clear cool nights, the weather is perfect for Maple Sugaring! Can you think of a better way to spend the weekend, teaching the kids what life was like in the early 1800’s?! A time when the country was being settled. A time when the kids had to work too!

Historians at Old Sturbridge Village will demonstrate maple sugar making at the Village’s own working “Sugar Camp” from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays each weekend in March. Visitors can see the entire sugar-making process, from tapping the trees to “sugaring off,” and will learn why maple sugar was more commonly used than maple syrup in early New England.

Some early farm families, especially in northern New England, tapped 100 trees or more for a yield of 400 pounds of sugar each season. Women and children helped with the sugaring, and it was often a social occasion for friends and neighbors. The children’s favorite taste treat – maple snow – was actually the result of testing the syrup’s consistency before granulating it for storage, according to Old Sturbridge Village historians.

The maple sap flows best when the days are above freezing and the nights are below freezing. Each maple tree can produce up to 20 gallons of sap per tap during an average year, with each tap yielding an average of four pounds of sugar per season. It takes 40 gallons of sap (or more) to make a gallon of syrup.

Crystal Blue Skies over Mount Washington, NH this Friday afternoon

Ok, maybe not the shorts, although I’m hoping to play some pick up bball on Saturday, so we’ll see.

A few clouds will dot the sky on Sunday, especially in northern New England, where we may see a sprinkle or flurry along the Canadian border. Temperatures will once again rise well into the 40s and lower 50s, so enjoy!

A cold front will cross the region on Monday with little fanfare, but what it will do is knock the temperatures back down to seasonable levels on Tuesday. And that’s where they’ll remain through the end of next week. Otherwise, a relatively quiet weather pattern will persist with no major storms on the horizon.

Have a great weekend!

Mountain Wrecking Crew Productions scored first tracks on Castlerock at Sugarbush Vermont Saturday February 27, 2010. Bob and Nancy Hennessey report nothing but powder after SuperStorm 2010. How did they get first tracks of Weds-Fri Snow? We had wind hold Thursday and Friday.. leaving knee to waist deep pockets of snow. This weekend we get sunshine along with the deepest base depths of the winter.

Dogs and cats can become friends, as the folks at the Wildlife Safari in Oregon found out — except for the cat in this odd couple scenario is a cheetah. You can see rhinos and lions at the Wildlife Safari in Winston and also an Anatolian Shepherd. Her name is Ellie and her best friend happens to be a cheetah named Sanurra.

Sanurra was a single cub birth and as abandoned by her mother, so Ellie was introduced to her as a puppy and the two bonded like sisters. This odd pairing was no accident, as an Anatolian Shepard is very protective and that natural instinct could be the key to saving the wild cheetah population.

A victory for animal rights activists.
The Massachusetts House has voted overwhelmingly to ban the surgical “debarking” or silencing of dogs or cats.
By a 150-1 vote, the House approved the bill which prohibits the devocalization of dogs and cats unless a licensed veterinarian certifies that the procedure is medically necessary to relieve an illness, disease or injury.
The bill now heads to the Senate.

…and meteorological spring began on Monday (although the vernal equinox and official start to spring is still 16 days away). While there may still be some snow in the future for New England, climatological records for the winter are kept for the months of December, January and February. The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Taunton, MA has compiled this weather information in a Public Information Statement for several cities in southern New England. Do you keep your own snowfall records? If so, feel free to share your information in the comment section below this blog post.

Wednesday Evening March 3, 2010 Update..
Another bust.. Here is new thinking. The big deal is Coastal Flooding at High Tide around 2 AM. We may have similar flooding to what happened Midday Monday. The snow bands are there, but so far are falling apart as fast as they form. Reports from Cape Cod are 1″-2″, we may see enough for plowing by AM.
Updated map below.

We had some water on streets in Salem Massachusetts at High Tide Tuesday.
This photo from John Palmer along Commercial Street.
Also a view from the cam at Buzzard’s Bay where the snow was heavy late in the day.


Tuesday March 2 discussion..
Looking back through the weather Journal, the last time we had no mid-week storm was January 11-15. Although not all storms have met expectations of the forecast, they have been passing off our coast with head spinning frequency. And we have storms lined up for mid-week the next two weeks too. During the daylight Wednesday March 3, 2010 we should have snow falling and melting on our roads. But as soon as the sun goes down we will likely see roads becoming snow covered in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. And for the first time in months, we actually have colder air moving in from the north (instead of warmth), so maybe we can get this one right.
NOT

From flooded roads, to uprooted trees and light posts snapped like a toothpick, today’s Sky Scenes feature amazing photos illustrating the power of Mother Nature.

Simply amazing that we have a third storm merging with the upper low stalled over the northeast for 7 days now. The storm that tracked south of New Orleans Friday Feb 26, 2010, across southern FL Saturday, merged with our old Super Storm south of Nova Scotia today, Monday March 1, 2010. The resultant wind from the North ramped up to 50+ in gusts creating waves of 10′-20′ funneling to Massachusetts Bay. The combination of a weeks worth of onshore wind, Full Cold Moon High Tide, and wind from the right direction, brought the roughest seas to shores south of Boston since the April 2007 super storm. Here is the weather map for today. Some photos from the shore are posted below.

There is another storm with 3″ of snow in Dallam texas today. That low will bring another round of Gale Force wind to New England Wednesday. But the heavy precip should stay offshore. Believe it or not, Vermont may get the most in the next few days, from a storm passing way off to the south. Go Figure. About as logical as rain in Maine, and Snow on Cape Cod, that we saw today (another warm from the north due to block).

This 3 PM image from MoreBeach.com at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham MA shows the huge surf and snow that fell on Cape Cod today.

Mark Keup of Nor’Easter Surf Shop sent this photo from Brant Rock at Ocean Street in Marshfield Massachusetts at high tide today. None of us expected 15 breakers smashing over the Seawall at Noon today. The wind direction was just right (from North) to bring the huge seas to the beachfront usually protected by Cape Cod. But this swell came in from a 28.7″ storm center just at the right latitude to send the swell around the Cape. The fetch was from Nova Scotia to the south shore.
Did anyone go surfing? Mark Keup says, many tried:
“Phones been ringing off the hook with guys asking where to paddle out. Most guys said they tried to get out but couldn’t get past the white water, looking for a break that the waves are smaller. North shore spots also closed out because of the size.
Just saw one of the pics and caught the other on the web–mahalo for the plug. Roger
Beal surfed a secret spot this afternoon. Said it was as big as some of the points he would drive 3 hours for in Baja Mexico when he lived in La Jolla. Solid 15′ faces would roll and and he said he would be scratching for the horizon. Got a little sketchy–he said 3 waves and he was done for the day. No one else out.
Rogers is the only confirmed ridden wave so far down here. And still looking big for most of the week with the next low!!!
aloha,
mark
nor’easter”

mahalo right back at ya Mark. Here is another plug, see Nor’Easter SurfShop Daily online Report here.
This is Mark’s State of The Surf Report today.

LOW PRESSURE 200 MILES EAST OF CAPE COD SENDING SOME JUICY SWELL BUT THE LOCAL WINDS ARE TRASHING IT AT THE BEACHES. NNW WINDS 20-30, WATER 39 DEGREES, LOW TIDE 5:36PM. HUNT DOWN A SHELTERED SPOT. CLOUDY,DRIZZLE AND 40 ON THE COAST.
How about ski conditions?
Greg Keeler sends this photo and comment from Cannon Mountain today. Cannon missed the big snow AND RAIN of last week, but has been snowing non stop since.
The 2 weathermen here Saturday seem to have left some good weather vibe here and we got ONE FOOT last night and today! That gets Cannon to about 27″ since the rain? indeed…we have it as 29″
Greg

Sugarloaf is past 60″ in a week. Skiing is the best of the year this week. A few more inches likely the next few days. Hunter Mountain in New York has 84″ in 6 days, the most form one storm in decades.
Out of time again.
Here are NWS Public Information Statements for this day 7 of February/March 2010 Super Storm.

DOODY

(NECN) – People in New England are among the top consumers of ice cream in the country.

So of course, we want frozen desserts for our dogs too.

And we’ve got it.

It’s called Yoghund and it’s a totally organic, frozen yogurt for your dog.

Joining Vicki Croke with more is Jody Rodgers, the creator of Yoghund.

(NECN) – On the Secret Life of Animals, we continue our focus on food with the secret to baking up your own delicious dog treats.

Lisa Makrinikolas is the owner of My Dog Ate it Catering, but you can also find her behind the bakery counter at the Especially for Pets store in Newton Massachusetts.

Lisa helps Vicki cook up some treats

(NECN) – So how do you go about reading between the lines of the nutrition label on pet foods?

Dr. Martha Smith of the Animal Rescue League of Boston joins Vicki Croke on the Secret Life of Animals with some tips.

(NECN) – You’re not going to want to miss a word of this next segment.

Just as many of us scrutinize the nutrition labels on our food — a veterinarian and nutritionist here in new england is doing the same for pet food.

Dr. Lisa Freeman of the Cummings School of veterinary medicine at Tufts University is the author of a new study on pet foods labeled “light” or *low-calorie.*

And her findings, may shock you.
There is huge variation in the calorie content of these foods and get this: some would even cause your dog or cat to gain weight if you dished it out according the package’s instructions.

Considering that 50 % of American pets may be overweight, and that extra pounds can cause a cascade of health problems.

Dr. Freeman joins the Secret Life of Animals to tell Vicki more about these findings and how you as consumers can choose a good, low-calorie food for our pets.

(NECN) – So you thought you knew chinchillas?

Guess again.

From their dental dynamics to their Olympic-worthy leaps in the air.

Vicki Croke has got the the full scoop on the secret life of these amazing little rodents.

The blocking pattern we have been stuck in for the past month is finally starting to break down. Through much of the month of February we were on the more favorable side of the block as we watched storms stay south. As we know, last week we got slammed with heavy snow in the mountains and damaging winds at the coast. I am pleased to say that they weather looks a little more progressive in the coming days…meaning it keeps moving along…which is what weather is supposed to do. Before we get out of this atmospheric traffic jam, there are still a few pieces of energy we have to watch. Read More of the Forecast Discussion Inside

1st, the weakening low which is sitting over us this weekend. This low has done a loop through New England providing the hurricane force winds Thursday, and is now looping back into New England this weekend as a much weaker low. It is still providing clouds and periodic snow showers…mixing with rain showers at the coast. Clouds will remain in place Sunday…with a few spotty breaks of sun. Most snow showers will remain in the North and West.

We turn our attention to energy coming out of the Gulf and off the coast of Florida. This area of low pressure will march up the east coast and eventually merge with our current decaying low off the coast of New England tonight. This low will strengthen and track just south of Nova Scotia Monday Morning. Precipitation will start off as snow with several inches possible in Maine tonight. The snow will be pushing south and arriving in Southern New England by dawn. Snow will mix over to rain during late morning- midday and afternoon hours. Gale force winds will be at the coast…but nothing nearly as strong as what we just saw….which looking back upon it was a very special and rare weather event. Many are still without power in storm stricken communities. Any rain will start to mix back over to snow with the setting sun Monday…allowing for a few more inches of snow possibly in the NW hills…before ending.
I am expecting a couple slushy inches on the front end of this. A general 1-3″ snowfall along and north of the Pike, with 3-6″ in VT, NH, and Maine with 6+” of snow in the far northern mountains.

Tuesday looks dry and seasonal…with lingering stratocumulus still around. Clouds will be on the increase ahead of our next storm…this one will likely stay well south of us.

Another Pacific storm will be taking a more southern track again by the Midweek. This storm will be pushing off the Carolina Coast Tuesday-Wednesday. Believe it or not, but the Mid-Atlantic states which have already seen their all-time snowiest winter…are likely going to see more snow. Strong winds from NJ to Delmarva Peninsula to the Carolina Capes too! The northen fringe of the snow will make it all the way up to Southern New England… for a brief burst of light snow in the Tuesday Night to Wednesday morning time frame. This storm will allow the seas to build to 10+feet well offshore…there could be some more splashover at high tide with these astronomincal high tides. By the way…Full Snow Moon tonight for the last night of February!

Pressure will be on the rise behind this departing low for skies to clear by next weekend. All in all…it looks like a quieter week, with less blocking, less extremes….as we March along through this winter…Only 20 days until spring!
