As I mentioned in the previous post, we had an expense yesterday that was double what we expected it to be. This expense came at the very same time as our monthly mortgage payment. Seems when we just get a little ahead, we then get knocked right back. Anyways. here are the donation links -

Showers & Maybe A Thunderstorm Are Expected Tuesday Morning Across Western & Central Mass (Posted at 10:20 pm Monday 3/30/2026)

A warm front is expected to lift northward across the area during Tuesday morning. This front will bring with it a round of showers and perhaps a thunderstorm as it moves through during Tuesday morning.

Showers look to break out across the entire area by about 5-7 am Tuesday morning. These showers, which will be generally scattered in nature, are then expected to affect all of Western and Central Mass throughout Tuesday morning before they end around midday or so. Additionally, there may be just enough instability in the atmosphere to produce a isolated thunderstorm or two. Any thunderstorms will be very brief and most will not see any thunder at all.

Once the showers end by midday Tuesday, skies will remain cloudy throughout Tuesday afternoon & it will be quite mild. High temperatures Tuesday afternoon will be between 65 and 70 Degrees.
