Back To Normal

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Certainly a warm day across New England even if it wasn't record warmth. Can we push our spring-like temps into Tuesday. Sort of, yes but not the whole day.

That means cooler air is set to return and in order to see the chill return we will have to go through some raindrops. Those raindrops are tied to a cool front--the front edge of cooler air--and that front will produce a band of rain tomorrow morning. It will still be mild tomorrow morning with many towns starting the day in the upper 50s but as the raindrops leave town mid afternoon--let's say 3pm--that's when the warmth will also leave town. So grab the fall coats/jackets as temps will be down near 50 by the time you leave work or after school activities wrap.

After this front, we've got bingo. We also have a large area of high pressure that will deliver sunshine to New England for the remainder of the week. This high pressure system is coming from Canada, eh,  so plan on a return to November temps with morning lows in the 30s and afternoon highs from 45-50.

Simple as that. Have a great week.

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!
