Temp Slide

Posted by Pete Bouchard

After that ruckus last night, the peaceful, easy feeling returned this afternoon. It was a spectacular finish to a rough storm.

That front is still sitting offshore, however, and I'm wary of its plume of clouds. Don't want to overpromise sun in the coming days...so I won't. These high (and by Friday low) clouds are tricky to forecast, especially since they'll drift in from the east. (Typically our weather systems move from west to east, not east to west.)

In any event, the sensible weather changes will be evident by morning. We're waking to a cooler mornings and a nip of frost in Northern New England:

Not out of the ordinary for this time of year. In fact, it's timely and appropriate. It will also invigorate the fall foliage across the mountains of Northern New England. Unbeknownst to some, the cold actually brings out the best color in the foliage. Without it, you'd get what we had last year: dull, dead leaves.

Anyway, I don't see a frost anytime soon for Southern New England. In fact, out temps will moderate by the weekend as we head for low 70s.

Longer range shows another cooldown by Monday, then another mini warmup by the middle of next week. No big storms in sight.

Can Only Go Up From Here

Rain and drizzle continues tonight as temperatures drop into the mid 30s to 40 degrees.  Any burst of heavier precip drags down colder air, and elevations above 1000 feet in northern Worcester County  or southwester NH see wet snow mixing in overnight.  No shovels or plows needed for us, but it is a sure sign how cold the atmosphere is for late May.  As of this writing, Mt. Mansfield in VT has picked up 7.5" of snow and Whiteface Mtn. in NY has picked up 18"!

This Is How It Starts? Really?

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees.  So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right?  Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in.

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.
