Steady As She Goes

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Weather pattern has turned as dull as the November landscape (and you'll get no complaints from me). As high pressure stagnates across the northeast, what you see is what you get....with a few cloudy exceptions. 

We had some low clouds drifting across the Cape/Islands this afternoon, and I think we'll be playing a few games of cat and mouse with them in the days to come. Tomorrow, they may start the trek up from the Cape giving us a partly sunny sky from time to time. And here's the conundrum for the coming 4-5 days: how much cloudiness will get in front of the sun? I'd like to play the stoic meteorologist and say definitively where they start/stop, but we fly by the seat of our pants on these forecasts: the clouds are fickle and fussy. One day they're on the Cape, the next they're in Metrowest.

So we'll take it day by day...just like John Rambo.

Long range is looking quiet. Plans for Turkey Day? Traveling out of town before/after the holiday. Just want to work off your pumpkin pie? It's all good. A big ocean storm will spin off North Carolina far south and east (for a change), just kicking up the surf.

Be well.

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.

We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain.  Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad.  Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year.  In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day.  That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board.  Not bad being average this time of year, huh?
