Trying Times

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

These are indeed trying times and an unsettled weather pattern that is just relentless. It's a pattern we saw back in February-March. Thankfully this time of year the strength of this pattern is much weaker than the winter. Despite that fact, check out this stat:

*Normal May AND June (61 days) rainfall for Boston is 7.17"

*Rainfall in Boston the first 11 DAYS of June is 6.60"

*Bam!

That's a lot of rain---and you know that. unfortunately we have even more rain on the way as a June nor'easter heads this way. This new storm will take aim on New England tomorrow afternoon (arrival 2-3pm) and again on Friday. By the time the storm departs late Friday afternoon most cities & towns will pick up 2-4" of more rain.

Backing up to today offers some leftovers from yesterday's storm. A lot of clouds, some sprinkles and brief showers (lasting less than 2 minutes) and seasonably cool temps with afternoon highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.

The good news is that these storms are moving along at a decent pace so the upcoming weekend offers sunshine on Saturday and partly sunny skies on Sunday.

It's Getting Old

Another round of rain...and cool temperatures. June is living up to - or should I say down to - expectations. Some years, we can sneak out a pretty decent start to summer. Others, you need to 'wait for it'. This may be one of those.

One Down, One to Go

Round one of today's rain is departing stage right (as of 7am) and now we have several hours of just mainly cloudy skies before round 2 arrives. This latest storm is coming at us in two pieces--sometimes that happens, like today! During this lull you can plan on lots of clouds (some sun too) and humidity thanks to the 2" of rain the ground couldn't quite absorb last night.

Another Soaker - Flood Watch Posted

Scattered showers roll in early this evening, only to become a steadier and heavier rain overnight.  The heaviest rain and thunder roars from 9:00PM-4:00AM.  During that time, localized street flooding and flooding of poor drainage areas become a concern.  Many towns pick up about 1" of water tonight. 

A Sense Of Timing

The weekend was just dandy in spite of the fact that we are still in a wet pattern but now it's back to work, school and tracking more raindrops. Our latest in a series of rainstorms dating back to early May will take aim on New England later today through tomorrow. Much of the day is dry but after 4pm plan on a scattering of showers which will blend into some steady rain by mid evening. After school activities as well as golf leagues/softball games will be at risk of cancelation due to the increasing chance of rain. Temps hang near 72 for much of the afternoon.
