Awesome

Posted by

A few years ago, I met this guy at work. We talked all the time and he showed me this website that listed a different "awesome" thing every day. Appropriately it's called 1000awesomethings.com. Brian didn't work everyday, but when he did, we'd catch up on the awesome things we missed. Today, 1000 Awesome Things reached the #1 thing...and now I'm engaged to that same guy that introduced me to it! Looking back at the time when we were reading #650 together, who'd have thought we'd be where we are now at #1. To me...that's my #1 Awesome Thing.

#2 Awesome Thing? The weather. Yup, taking a hard right turn from my gag-me, cheese-fest this morning. Moving right along into the sunshine and warm temperatures. We'll top out in the lower 70s inland and mid 60s along the coast today. Tomorrow is warmer all around with continued sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 70s.

We've got a few systems moving in for the weekend. The first is a regular cold front that might fire off a few showers or storms Saturday evening. But the bigger system, that'll give us some much needed rain, is likely Sunday and Monday. There is one model that's pushing the storm out to sea and giving just the Cape and immediate coastline some rain, but most other models say we'll all pick up 2-3" of rainfall. We'll have to keep an eye on the track just like we do a snowstorm. Stay tuned! Next week starts off mainly in the 50s.

Have an AWESOME day!

Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

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.
