Time For A Change

Posted by Pete Bouchard

On this 4th of May we celebrated Star Wars (may the 4th be with you), planned our Cinco de Mayo parties, wagered on the Kentucky Derby,

AND

brought back the sun...to parts of the Commonwealth.

I'm betting that there's more to be had this weekend too - and it won't be limited to Greater Worcester or Western Mass. This is the kind of sun we can all celebrate. The days are much longer, the sun angle's high, and the 60s will take over both days.

The start to Saturday may be a little drab and cool, and afternoon temps will still hover near 60 along the coast, but sun is sun, right?

Sunday has a cool, crisp start, but the skies will be blue most everywhere. Few more clouds in Southeast Mass. thanks to the northeast wind, but...sun's sun, right?

Let's not let this go to our head. Our pattern is still active, the jetstream is moving along, and there's another storm brewing for next wee...

..but that's next week, right?

Enjoy your weekend and watch for pedestrians and motorcycles!

More Warmth

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times.
