Just In Time

Posted by Chris Lambert

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

It won't feel like summer tonight, that's for sure if you live outside the city.  With our low humidity air mass in place, combined with clear skies and calm winds, temperatures tumble overnight.  Many of the suburbs bottom off in the middle 40s.  Even in Boston, mid to upper 50s means it's a nice night to leave the windows open in the city, and get some fresh air in.

Despite the cool start tomorrow, it's a fantastic days as we quickly bounce of the morning lows and head for the 75-80 degree range.

Overall, it still looks like we're breaking the wet pattern as it's mainly dry through the weekend.  Notice I said "mainly dry"?  As the humidity and warmth build back in, I can't rule out a passing storm from moving on in too.  As of now, it's possible to catch one after midnight Saturday night and early Sunday along a warm front.  Not something I'd start rearranging plans for.  Still dealing with a mainly dry Sunday and temps in the 80s.

Go Bruins!!!!!!!!!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!
