Closing Time

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Sure was a great summer. Sad to see it go. ;o( but all things (good or bad) come to an end. No different with the seasons..."OK, JR, enough of your rant!"--fair enough, let's move this along. If you are a fan of summer-like weather, then you'll like the week ahead. Of course, I'm mainly talking about summertime humidity as that will surge back into New England starting tomorrow afternoon.

The vehicle that will bring the muggies back here is a storm that used to have a name---Isaac. His remnants--moisture only, not wind---will move into New England tomorrow morning in the form of clouds and a few isolated showers. By afternoon, the clouds are still there and the showers will be more widespread. Humid with temps in the 70s.

By tomorrow night & Wednesday is when the bulk of the tropical moisture affects us with numerous showers and tropical downpours. In fact, this map shows the rainfall potential for Tuesday night-Wednesday afternoon:

Good for lawns & gardens but perhaps a bit much for storm drains, some localized street flooding is possible during the day Wednesday. We will get back to some sunshine by late week and that will push temps close to 80....a humid 80 though. Summer hanging on...

Have a great week!

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

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!
