Positive Looking Forecast

Posted by Chris Lambert

For the first time in two weeks, I don't have a hurricane or a major nor'easter in the forecast!  Whew... we deserve a much needed break.  The reason for a quiet week is thanks to a return to a +NAO(positive North Atlantic Oscillation).  As that indexed pressure pattern goes from negative to positive, the atmospheric "block", that has driven storms up the East Coast, breaks down, and we return to milder and quieter weather for a week.  The only rain I have on the 7-day forecast is with a cool front on Tuesday as showers come through.  

It's not to say you can't get storms in a +NAO, it's just that the chances of one are lower.  Last winter, the NAO was in the + phase a lot.  Two winters ago?  You guessed it... in the - phase a lot.

Ok, enough technical stuff... just give you the forecast  right?  

More sun than clouds today, breezy, temps near 50.  More clouds than sun tomorrow with lighter winds.  Near 50 again.  Early clouds Sunday break for sun, near 60 in the afternoon, including a 58 degree kickoff temps for the Pats vs Bills game.  Great tailgating weather overall.   We'll continue to see nice weather on Veteran's Day with highs in the mid to upper 60s!  No snow left after this stretch. 

Enjoy the weekend.

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.
