Strong Finish

Posted by Chris Lambert

Patchy low clouds and fog that cover some towns southwest of Boston will burn off by late morning and mostly sunny skies rule the afternoon.  It's another great looking beach day with highs running in the upper 70s at the coast, and low to mid 80s inland.

Monday looks good overall as well, although it'll be warmer at the coast with a southwest breeze as temps warm into the middle 80s.  A few towns outside I-495 may see a passing storm in the evening, but a better chance of more widespread showers slides in overnight.  A few showers and storms linger around Tuesday morning, before some sun breaks out.  That sun will warm us up into the mid 80s and as a cold front slides through, another passing shower or thunderstorm fires in the afternoon. 

It is behind that front that refreshing air rushes in Tuesday night, setting up a fantastic Wednesday with low humidity and highs in the middle to upper 70s.  Wednesday night, temps dive into the low to mid 50s, setting the stage for a near perfect Thursday with highs a couple degrees either side of 80.

A burst of warmth surges in on Friday, with afternoon temps 85-90!  A strong finish to the month of August!

How To Spin This

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!

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.
