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!

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.

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.
