The Downhill Slide

Posted by Chris Lambert

Few scattered showers roll through this morning, but much of the rain is light, and not all towns will see wet roads.   In fact, the rain chance goes down a bit from late morning, into the early afternoon.  That's when the general theme of the day turns to mild, breezy, with a few breaks of sun and temps jumping into the mid 70s. 

More showers roll back in near day's end and this evening along and ahead of a cold front.   That front pushes just to our south by early tomorrow morning so any lingering showers across Buzzards Bay and the Cape end, leaving dry weather in their wake.  With an onshore breeze, the temps are coolest at the coast too.

So how about that weekend?  The overall upcoming pattern hasn't changed much, and that means I have to leave the chance for rain in the forecast.  With an onshore breeze, you can bet on cool temps as well, generally the lower to middle 60s for highs.   The challenge is going to be the timing of the bouts rain that move in as spokes of energy revolve around an upper-level low parked to our west.  At times, that energy translates into waves of low pressure near our coast, that'll be responsible for the rain.  It won't rain all weekend long, there will be occasional breaks in the action, but it's the timing of those breaks that we'll have to pin down in the upcoming days.

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!
