Status Quo

Posted by Chris Lambert

Whew... close one last night.  What an emotional roller coaster ride watching the end of that Pats game.   Fun to watch, but I think a few more grey hairs are starting to show up this morning.  Anyway, Monday morning is easier to face after that win, and with nice weather, we do ok to start this week.

Carbon copy, status quo, rinse and repeat, cruise control... call it what you want, the weather today is a lot like yesterday.  That means plenty of lower to middle 60s this afternoon, sunshine, a few patches of clouds and a breeze that gusts 20-25+mph at times.

Overall it's a quiet week, with more clouds arriving tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night.  It'll be dry on Tuesday, although, near day's end, a couple showers could drift into Worcester County.   A few showers and sprinkles are scattered about Tuesday night and Wednesday, but I don't expect a lot of rain at this point.  Thursday through Saturday look great, and temps near 70 away from the coastline Friday and Saturday.

Long range:  Interesting pattern may set-up, to say the least, next weekend, and early into the following week.  The next named tropical system could form in the Caribbean and drift into the Bahamas by the start of the weekend, and perhaps move up the coast.  A few of the models have this tropical system getting caught and pulled back into the east coast by the second half of next weekend.  As the system goes from tropical to non-tropical, wind fields expand and heavy rains become widespread.  How this plays into our forecast is still to be determined.  We'll continue to track this through the week.

More Warmth

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.
