Ugh... yeah, another one of those days.  We're locked in the clouds, areas of dense fog, drizzle and occasional showers with bigger drops working through.  In fact, I think we'll see steadier and heavier showers roll in this afternoon and this evening. Maybe even a rumble of thunder.   Temps all day are once again stuck into the 60s, so what it felt like yesterday, it'll fell like today.

But I do have good news!  Tomorrow is a fantastic day, and if it's your start of the Holiday Weekend, it's a beauty.  Temps break out to the upside early thanks to returning sunshine and with highs in the middle 70s in the afternoon, we can get back to shorts and t-shirt weather.

Saturday overall looks good too.  Back to the lower 70s, with more clouds around in the afternoon.  I don't expect much rain Saturday, but I can't rule out a passing afternoon shower north and west of 495.  Even there, most of the day is dry. 

The problems arrive Sunday as a front stalls out across the area and a wave of low pressure rides along it.  This time, we're on the cooler side of the front with temperatures nearing 60 by late morning, then falling into the low 50s as the rain picks up in the afternoon.

It's a quick moving system, so it's outta here by Monday morning, but a breeze and temps only in the 50s stick around for Monday afternoon.

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.

Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.
