Crank It Up Again

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Another round of record breaking heat is on the way. The concern with this round of heat is the timing---the Boston Marathon on Monday. That heat is in the south & midwest right now but it is on the move & will reach New England tomorrow with many towns near 80 by afternoon. To get that very warm bubble of air into new England, we'll go through some weather, mainly in the form of clouds & perhaps a few isolated showers very late tonight/early tomorrow morning. After 8am, the threat for rain showers will be over.

Monday will be the hottest of the expected 3-day warm spell. Here are the forecast numbers for Marathon Monday through the day: 

In terms of wind, plan on a southwest wind the entire day around 10-20 mph with wind gusts over 25 mph at times.

By Tuesday, the air won't be quite as hot but temps will still finish nearly 30 degrees above normal---up near 80. In terms of rain, no significant moisture in sight. #NotGood.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.

Pulling The Fade

Posted by Chris Lambert

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.

Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies.  Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?
