Slow Going

Posted by

Sorry for the delay in the blog this morning! I'm as slow-moving as that stubborn low pressure system that's been hanging out to our northeast all week long! (Too corny? Geeky weather-joke? I apologize for that too.)

Today is basically a repeat of yesterday with a mix of sun and clouds and spotty showers. Highs will be in the upper 50s inland and in the lower 50s along the coast with a stiff northeast breeze. That storm system finally pulls away tonight as the Sox return back in town. It'll be sunny for the home opener with highs near 60! A minor sea breeze will kick in around game time, but should only drop temperatures down into the upper 50s.

The weekend looks gorgeous with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Saturday will be the sunnier day of the weekend with a chance of isolated showers on Sunday. Going for a jog Monday? We'll see a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 60s. For the marathoners, you'll run into that sea breeze as you approach the finish line, but you'll be ready for a cooldown by then.

Next week looks pleasant with partly cloudy skies and highs staying in the mid to upper 60s.

Unsettling

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!

Although my forecast was busted today, there was one good thing that came out of it.

Stability.

That gray overcast that hung over the eastern half of the Commonwealth provided a stablizing influence to our atmosphere. The cool air blowing in from the ocean kept the temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s all the way back to Metrowest. While that makes for lousy short-and-t-shirt weather, it is poison to thunderstorms.

Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!
