2nd Summer Heat Wave?

Posted by

It's only been Summer for a little over a week and we're already talking about another possible heat wave. This one isn't set in stone like the first one was when temperatures were well into the 90s. Today we'll be in the lower 90s, but Saturday and Sunday we'll be right around 90°. Some towns will get a heat wave and some will fall just shy with highs in the upper 80s. Either way, as Jerry Reed says, "When you're hot, you're hot."

As the warm air moves in this morning we have a few spotty light showers to deal with. By 9-10am, a few t'storms are possible as well. Then we'll see sunshine and strong southwest winds. A few more isolated t'storms could pop up this evening as a cool front slides through.

Saturday is mostly sunny with highs near 90. A storm will pass to our south Saturday night into early Sunday morning, so the south coast might have some nighttime rain. But Sunday goes back to being sunny and hot. More showers will be scattered about on Monday, then it looks great for Tuesday and Wednesday. Which night are you having fireworks in your town? Doesn't matter because the weather will cooperate both nights.

Have a great weekend!

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.

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