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. 

Thunderous Start to Workweek

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.
