On The Fence

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

On the fence. That fence lined up from about Hartford to Lawrence for much of the afternoon. West of that *fence* that sun was out and the air was comfortable. Southeast of said *fence* and you saw clouds & showers with cool temperatures. We need to move this fence out of air. That will happen-somewhat for the second part of the weekend.

The fence is actually a cool front that is slow moving (the title of my blog last night). This front will keep on moving tonight albeit rather slowly but by tomorrow it should be offshore. That means most of us will start with clouds but  slowly see the sunshine take hold by midday and into the afternoon. Pleasant with afternoon highs in the mid 70s. The only areas that will struggle to lose the clouds will be the Cape/Islands. You guys will have the clouds for much of the day. The good news is those clouds will not throw raindrops at you.

As we look into next week, our pattern is a pattern filled with more comfortable (less humid) air. The only issue will be a tiny storm looking to vacation in New England late Monday afternoon & early Tuesday morning. Plan on clouds & showers when that system zips by Monday night. Otherwise sunshine is the rule.

Enjoy your Saturday evening.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.

We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain.  Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad.  Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year.  In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day.  That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board.  Not bad being average this time of year, huh?

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, and to my dad as well.  So what's on tap for the day?  Golf, grilling, just hanging out? Whatever it is, all and all, it's still a pretty good day for dad weather-wise.  I wish I could say the Father's Day forecast exactly repeats Saturday, but we do have a few late afternoon showers to track.
