Gearing Up For The Weekend

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Hardest thing about the day after marathon coverage on a storm (besides the lack of sleep): finding things to talk about.

When you're knee-deep in a storm, there's an overabundance of things to discuss. Weather graphics almost make themselves. After everything settles down, however, nothing measures up. Everything seems mundane. Temps? Hmph. Sunshine? Meh.

But that's the idea, isn't it? Peace and quiet. Recharging the batteries for the next storm. (No, there aren't any on the horizon.)

So here are the details: holiday weekend warmup, no storms brewing, seasonable late next week.

Of all the days this weekend, Saturday is 'odd man out'. It will be a bit cloudier than the other two, and the temperatures don't move all that much. In fact, we'll see similar numbers to today: upper 40s to low 50s.

The warmth surges a bit too late to send the temperature soaring Sunday, but come Monday we should crest in the mid 60s! This time of year, it takes a couple of days for the mild air to settle in. And, as we'll find by the middle of next week, it can be easily pushed aside with just a simple cold front.

Have a great weekend!

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

Come On Ride The Train

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.

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!
