Well, well, well. Storm path is a bit south with this one. Means the heaviest rain and the strongest wind will stay on the Cape/Islands tonight. While we may see an inch or more there, the lighter rains in Greater Boston will only squeeze out a quarter of an inch (or less). So it goes in this hot and cold weather pattern.

A weaker, drier outcome with tonight's storm means Saturday is looking brighter and warmer. And of course, we're putting on our Sunday best for Ma. Cool north winds will keep the temps sub-70 in the afternoon, but a dry day is a dry day - we'll take what we can get.

Big three-day nor'easter threatens next week, but with fickle storms that change directions at a whim, I'm noncommittal (typical guy) at this point. Nonetheless, I will paint the wettest, coldest picture I can in the seven day forecast.

Hmmm...maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho.

Make it a good weekend.
