Settle Down

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Ready for a quiet weather pattern? Me too. Here's why it's been so stormy lately:

That ol jet stream all buckled up with no place to go. That big dip it's taking in that picture promotes big/nasty slow moving storms. Sandy and the nor'easter are exhibits A & B. Thankfully, the pattern will settle down as the jet stream will now look like this for a few days:

All the storminess will shift to the west coast over the next 5-10 days and that will give us here in the east a much deserved break. Getting into this newfangled pattern will be some weather. It's a warm front---the front edge of the warmer air--and that front will produce a batch of clouds by this afternoon into the first part of Sunday. Look for afternoon temps to reach 50 today and into the mid 50s tomorrow. By Monday we're even warmer with temps reaching the mid 60s! Our next chance of rain is Tuesday---not from a storm but rather a cold front. Until then...enjoy the break!

Warming Up and Unsettled

Posted by Chris Lambert

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. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.
