Unsettled But Not Washed Out

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Ready for another round of clouds & showers?...me either. Haha. While we we're all out & about soaking up that sunshine the jet stream was doing this:

When the jet stream does that, you can plan on seeing at least a few raindrops. That's our weather until Friday--some rain, but no washouts. The thinking right now is that the heaviest rain will stay offshore over the next 3 days. Starting with tomorrow, it's a day full of clouds and the risk of a few showers before 10am but mainly dry during the afternoon. Temps crawl into the mid 50s.

For both Wednesday and Thursday, clouds will dominate but sunshine is likely each day. A few showers are also likely---Wednesday afternoon and early Thursday morning if you take a closer look. Each of those days will have long stretches of dry weather. As for the amount of rain, here's what I'm thinking for a 3 day total:

Beneficial but not overwhelming or problematic (also good for keeping pollen counts from skyrocketing).

At this time, drier weather is set to arrive by the upcoming Mothers Day weekend.

Enjoy your Monday evening!

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
