One Day Drop

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Good shot of cold coming down from Northern New England. Don't know if you caught it on the social media websites this morning, but here's a shot of the Mt. Washington Auto Road:

Yeah, it was that cold on the ol' rockpile. Some of that chill is pouring in now. Our temps will continue to crumble through the night, and by morning, the freeze is on. Suburbs will see their first hard freeze of the season - that means temps in the 20s! This will wipe out the gardens (if left unprotected), the pollen, the mosquitoes and put the lawn on notice.

However, now that we've exhausted the subject of chilly temps, it's time to move on...to Indian Summer. That's right. The first warmup of 70 or better after the first freeze - and the autumnal equinox - constitutes the Indian summer. (Hey, we have rules here.)

This shot of cold is indeed a one shot deal. I'm expecting the warmup process to start as early as Saturday night and finish on Monday. Highs will leap to the 60s Sunday and around 70 on Monday! This is certainly within reason too, considering our record high temps this time of year have peaked in the upper 80s.

Nothing like that coming, but the cold will be on hold next week. Highs linger in the 60s right through Thursday.

Enjoy the weekend.

More Warmth

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times.
