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.

Just In Time

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

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.
