Happy Thoughts

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Get after it if you can today. An absolutely fantastic day awaits with mainly sunny skies, low humidity and seasonably warm temperatures. Great beach day too. Here's that forecast:

Even though it won't be as hot as a few days ago, use that sunscreen! Elsewhere, plan on similar weather for outdoor activities. The only issue for the day will be a few thin clouds that turn our brilliant morning sunshine into more of a filtered (milky) sunshine by late afternoon. Those clouds are tied to our next storm which will wobble into New England for the start of the week.

Unlike yesterdays storms, Monday's event will be an all-day type rain so there's no getting around those raindrops. IN fact, some of you may pick up an inch of beneficial rains by Monday evening. Temps will take a hit due to all the raindrops, held into the upper 60s.

For Tuesday & Wednesday, this storm is still with us just in a much weaker form. That means each of those days will offer at least partial sunshine but also the risk of some scattered showers--especially during the afternoon. Drier weather takes hold for Thursday & beyond.

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.
