The weather is unquestionably the top story this week…and UMass Lowell’s Weather Center provides the best Lowell weather forecast around.  The University’s Department of Environmental Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences maintains the website.

It is one thing to listen or watch  Boston forecasters but it is a completely different experience to get weather specific to Lowell…and the Weather Center posts some really cool bits of information:  Like the current temperature, Humidity, and Wind speed in Lowell updated every five minutes.  You’ve got to love that…Lowell’s weather conditions updated every fine minutes!

The University gathers this information from a Center located on the roof of Ball Hall on North Campus. And of course, there is a long range forecast for the Merrimack Valley.

Check it out…Its fun to follow the hyper-local weather
