Starting the Weekend Early

Posted by

We were on the road driving south on 93 around 3pm yesterday...along with everyone else! Guess a lot of people are starting the holiday weekend super-early! Maybe traffic won't be so bad today considering how awful it was yesterday? Doubt it! Something about a holiday weekend, any day, any time, rain or shine, there will be traffic. So buckle up and brace yourself!

So as you prepare for the long weekend, let's break it down for you:

Friday: Morning showers and clouds with some brightening during the afternoon. Highs in the mid 70s inland and upper 60s along the coast.

Saturday: Best day of the weekend because it'll be the most summery. Partly cloudy with highs in the upper 80s. It'll even be warm along the coast, but the water certainly won't be!

Sunday: A front will stall out and give us a few more clouds and spotty showers. Highs will be in the mid 70s and humidity will stick around.

Memorial Day: Partly cloudy with pop-up afternoon and evening storms. Highs in the upper 70s.

Not that you want to think about next week already, but we'll see a chance of showers Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the upper 70s. Humidity will drop and so will temperatures into the lower 70s by next Thursday.

Have a wonderful weekend...be safe!

Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!

More Warmth

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.

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.
