Cloudy with some leftover showers on Saturday in New England
This isn’t the most stellar weekend, but then again, we don’t expect much from April.
Clouds and a few showers will sweep through with our “old” nor’easter passing far off the Seashore. We’ll see brisk, chilly breezes throughout the day (so yes, there’s a bit of a wind chill factor). Highs struggle in the low and mid 40s all day. More sunshine is expected on Sunday, so we should be able to challenge 50 in most spots.
The winds won’t be strong, but like Saturday, they will be ever-present. If there’s a shower threat, it’s in the morning. More or less leftovers from Saturday.
Eclipse weather has been well-advertised for days now. We’re seeing plenty of sun and mild temps thanks to a steady northwest breeze. If you’re traveling to northern New England for viewing, keep in mind that many side roads and “secluded hideouts” off the beaten path are snowbound from the previous storms.
Snowpack ranges from a half foot to over a foot and a half. There’s plenty of mud, slush, and headaches if you try to venture off in the woods. Be safe and stay alert.
Post-eclipse, the weather continues to shine. Sea breezes will knock us back temp-wise by Tuesday and especially Wednesday. Later in the week, a sizeable storm system will move in our direction. What seemed like some showers and a passing front now is growing into a solid rain with potential downpours and gusty winds.
Guess we should have known better.
Enjoy the weekend!

Boston Children’s doctor appears in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ episode based off procedure he did
If you’re one of the millions of fans who tunes into “Grey’s Anatomy” every week, you know they share cutting-edge medical stories that can move you to tears, or leave you wondering if it’s fact or fiction.
But what you may not know about this week’s episode is that it was based off a first-of-its-kind procedure done by one of Boston Children’s Hospital’s very own doctors — who even made an appearance in the show.
“Doctor by day, TV star by night…” Boston Children’s said as it announced on social media Friday that Dr. Darren Orbach, the chief of Neuroradiology at the hospital, appeared in Thursday night’s episode of ABC’s long-running hit medical drama.
In the 4th episode of “Grey’s” 20th season, Dr. Arizona Robbins (played by Jessica Capshaw) returns to Grey Sloan for a particularly complicated case, in which she attempts to make medical history with a clinical trial involving patient Vida Madera, a 26-year-old woman who is 30 weeks pregnant and recently found out that her baby has a vein of Galen malformation (VOGM) — a type of rare blood vessel abnormality inside the brain.
The standard procedure has been to wait until after delivery to address the VOGM, but Dr. Robbins says she wants to operate on the baby’s brain in utero.
According to Boston Children’s Instagram post, the episode features the story of real-life baby Denver, who was the first in North America to successfully receive fetal embolization to treat her vein of Galen malformation.
Dr. Orbach performed the procedure last year with the team at the Maternal Fetal Care Center, in affiliation with Brigham and Woman’s Hospital, where the surgery took place. Denver’s mom Kenyatta and dad Derek appear in a YouTube video for Boston Children’s in which they talk about their journey from finding out about Denver’s VOGM to the surgery, and how she was born early but healthy.
In the video, Dr. Orbach talks about the historic VOGM procedure, saying when Denver was born, it was apparent from the beginning that she was fine — not requiring any medications or cardiovascular support.
“Denver turned out to be just the right patient at the right time, and it was definitely exhilarating to be able to treat her and finally after all these years have this success,” he said in the video.
According to Boston Children’s — one of the top pediatric hospitals in the nation — Dr. Orbach was contacted by series executives to consult and edit on the episode’s script.
A series of photos posted to the hospital’s Instagram account show Dr. Orbach in scrubs alongside Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), Dr. Robbins, Dr. Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone), and Dr. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver), as well as various other photos from set.
“The rest, as they say in Hollywood, is history.”
