All Quiet On The New England Front

Posted by Chris Lambert

After a few weeks of up and down temperatures, a hurricane and a nor'easter, a quiet weather pattern has settled on it.  We even lose the cloud cover we had yesterday and that means lots of bright skies this weekend (few clouds across the Cape at times).

It's a great weekend to prepare for what's coming up... Christmas lights stapled to the house, or wrapped around the trees included.  Although, you still can wait a week or so before turning them on :-).  Or if it's a big football weekend for you, college or pro, the tailgating weather gets a passing grade with sunshine, highs near 50.  Kickoff temp at Gillette hovers around 45, then falls into the upper 30s during the game.

Over the next several days, temperatures don't change all that much either.  Today, upper 40s, tomorrow near 50 and next week in the lower 50s.   The big ocean storm that we've been tracking for next week, is still out in the ocean for the forecast.  Maybe a bit of a breeze by Wednesday, but I'm still keeping the rain away, so no problems weather wise for travel.  Mid 50s by Thanksgiving!

Enjoy the weekend!

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.

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!
