Oh Hi Friday!

Posted by

Fridays come up quickly when you're not here most of the week! Enjoy what you can of this summery, August day because the weekend is going to be a bit unsettled.

Today is mostly sunny through the morning with clouds moving in during the afternoon. There's an approaching cold front and out ahead of it winds will pick up from the southwest and highs will be close to 90° everywhere except the Cape and Islands. That southwest wind will keep those areas in the low to mid 80s. Showers and storms with the front will be isolated to western MA today, but some will push in overnight. They shouldn't be severe, but you could hear a few rumbles through the night.

The front stalls out to the southeast of Nantucket tomorrow, so scattered showers and storms are possible through the morning Saturday. We'll see some improvements Saturday afternoon, but it'll still be unsettled. Sunday will be dry for most of us, but a few isolated showers and clouds are still possible across the Cape and Islands.

Next week should be pretty nice most days with a mix of sun and clouds and comfortable highs in the lower 80s.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Just In Time

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.
