Here We Go Again!

Posted by

I like this pattern: gorgeous weekends, unsettled gray workweeks. I'm sure those of you without a Saturday/Sunday weekend might not like it so much, but sometimes the rain on your day off is nice because you don't feel so bad napping and being lazy! Like it or hate it, it's happening again.

We're just coming off of a fantastic weekend and now we're waiting for clouds to roll back in. Showers are sitting to our south and should move in here late this afternoon and evening. Highs today will be in the lower 70s inland and in the mid 60s along the coast with a southeast breeze. The best chance of heavier, widespread rain will be tonight and Tuesday. More scattered showers are possible with increasing humidity and highs in the mid to upper 70s.

Just like the past two weeks, we'll see more sunshine starting Thursday. Humidity will be somewhat high by the week's end with highs near 80. A few isolated t'storms are possible Saturday night into early Sunday morning, but most of the weekend is dry and warm in the upper 70s to lower 80s.

Have a great Monday!

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!

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.

Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.
