Nice, But No Records

Posted by Chris Lambert

A sluggish Monday morning... seems like the stress levels that the Pats give me in the 4th quarter take a lot of energy out of me the next day.   Anyone else think that?  Hey, most importantly they won, I'll take it!

Anyway, what a great day at Gillette yesterday with sunshine, mild temps and a chance to honor our Vets.  Again, a big THANK YOU  to all that serve this country.

It is mid November but  it won't feel anything like that today.  Average high this time of year is 53, and we'll be pushing a good 12-15 degrees above that, yielding middle to upper 60s across the board as early fog lifts for hazy sun as temps warm up.  The breeze picks up out of the south, at times, gusting past 20mph. Despite being warm, we're nowhere close to the records as Boston's record was set in 1909 at 76 and Worcester's, that same year at 73.

Enjoy the mild weather while it lasts. 

Showers move in after midnight tonight, although most of them wait until tomorrow with a cool front working in.  That front will drop temps back into the upper 40s by late afternoon, after starting the day near 60 first thing in the morning.

Upper 40s to near 50 is where we stay the rest of the week, into the weekend.  But at least it's dry! 

Unsettling

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!

Although my forecast was busted today, there was one good thing that came out of it.

Stability.

That gray overcast that hung over the eastern half of the Commonwealth provided a stablizing influence to our atmosphere. The cool air blowing in from the ocean kept the temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s all the way back to Metrowest. While that makes for lousy short-and-t-shirt weather, it is poison to thunderstorms.

Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!
