Mayday

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Certainly felt more like the first day of March than May. Cool breeze off the water, plenty of rain through midday...yeesh.

Hey, I'll be the first to tell you that there is no *bad* weather, just inconvienient and, on rare occasion, violent. Today it was mightily inconvienient if you had errands to run or had to walk around downtown.

We'll turn from inconvienient to downright envious in the coming days. Warm air will come to a screeching halt as it enters Western New England. Highs there will soar to the 60s, 70s, 80s over the next three days. It's not fair, but noone ever said the weather was.

Look, everyone wants that warm, sunny weather we had over the last two months, but the weather pattern we have in place won't open the door. Instead, we fight with the clouds, the sea breeze and the 50s. Reason for the disparity? That tenacious block over Greenland. In the past couple of months, we've been able to seek good company and side with the warmer side of the forecast. This time, however, the block is in a slightly different place, and we side with the Nova Scotia and Maine: cool, maritime air.

Won't shake out until we get to the END of the weekend. Highs then should nudge 60 by Sunday - just in time for the Walk for Hunger.

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

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!
