90+ For Us

Posted by Pete Bouchard

It's a streak many folks would rather not see. 90 or better for days on end?

Pullleeeze!

You may have already said uncle, but Mother Nature won't let us out of the ring. She has a few more right hooks and upper cuts for us in the days ahead. If you're near a body of water, that's welcome news, but if you work outside, you're going to melt.

The only exception to the searing heat is Sunday. Clouds will have the upper hand, and many spots will "tumble" into the upper 80s.

Who's hit a heat wave (three straight days of 90 or better) so far?

Pepperell

Who's 2 days in?

Medford, Somerville, Nashua, Lunenburg

Now about those storms on Sunday. There's lots of fine print to the forecast: only a 40% chance of getting hit, only in the afternoon, and the storms will be brief.

I'm looking for the heat and humidity to break by the END of next week. A round of strong/severe storms will rake the area on Wednesday, so keep a lookout on that particular day.

Be well and stay cool!

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

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.

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!
