I'm Back...for Now

Posted by

So as I'm eating a steady diet of scrambled egg and bacon sandwiches on white toast with a side of grits each morning and slurping on Miami Vices poolside with a warm, tropical breeze each afternoon, news spread of my departure. I'm still here for another month, so I won't say my goodbyes just yet but I do want to mention it. I've met some best friends and my fiance here and, trust me, this is going to be extremely bittersweet for me and I absolutely love Boston and all the people here. But we've still got plenty of weeks together, so I'll continue to tell you my mundane stories in this blog every morning!

As for the weather, it's not the prettiest start to the day, but it'll get prettier. The rain on the Islands this morning will exit by mid-morning and we'll all see increasing sunshine, but decreasing humidity. We'll top out in the mid 80s this afternoon. Tomorrow is gorgeous with low humidity, plenty of sunshine, and highs in the low to mid 80s. Wednesday should be just as nice too!

Showers work back in later in the day Thursday and it's kind of looking like a washout for Friday and perhaps a good deal of Saturday too. As of now, Sunday will be the pick of the weekend. We'll adjust the forecast as we continue through the week.

Have a great day!

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.
