Overly Oppressive

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

In terms of that humidity...uncle, uncle! I have no problem with 90 heat but I could go year without dealing with humidity. The good news is that the sticky stuff gets kicked offshore tonight and stays away for a few days.

Monday offers a return to decent summer weather--a mix of sun & clouds with temps in the mid 80s. **Weather spoiler alert**....you will feel  a little humidity but it will not be overly oppressive like it has been the past few days. Tuesday offer more of the same. Great for the golf courses, tennis courts & beaches the next couple of afternoons.

Midweek will see a return to higher humidity and also a return of the showers & t-storms. At this time, those storms are likely to occur early, middle and late in the day. Like this past system, there will be gaps in the rain & clouds...meaning, some sun is likely too.

That system will peel out of here and allow drier air to return for Thursday & Friday.

Have a great week!

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!
