Baby Steps

Posted by Chris Lambert

Getting used to the 50s and clouds the last several days hasn't exactly been the early May theme that we'd like to see, but it is spring in New England, and we do go through these weather ruts at times. 

The good news is, we have improvements for the weekend.  While we won't break out into the 80s and sunshine that has greeted parts of NY and PA the last few days, we'll take the small improvements to get us at least dry weather and temps in the 60s this afternoon.  We'll call it "baby steps" on the moving up on the improvement scale.  Don't expect tons of sunshine this afternoon, but some breaks/bright spots in the overcast are certainly possible. 

More sunshine returns tomorrow after patchy morning fog.  Temps slide into the upper 50s to low 60s near the coast, to middle to upper 60s inland.

Monday is even better with highs near 70 inland.... still 60-65 at the coast with a southeast wind.

Next batch of rain arrives Tuesday, and as that front gets hung up along the coast, an area of low pressure will develop along it and bring more rain for Wednesday and Thursday.

Drier by Friday.

This Is How It Starts? Really?

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees.  So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right?  Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in. 

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.

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.
