Let's Talk Turkey

Posted by Chris Lambert

It's a cold start this morning, in fact many of the suburbs are dealing with quite the thick frost to kick the day off.  With a lot of low level moisture in place, all it took was for temps to cool overnight for all that water vapor to turn to ice crystals and cover just about anything from the grass, to the mulch to your windshield.  Maybe even a few patches of black ice are out there on sidewalks and driveways, so watch your step early this morning!  

Frost melts away quickly this morning as temps warm to near 50 this afternoon with partly sunny skies.  More low clouds may fill in through SE Mass with an onshore flow this afternoon, so we'll watch that potential.  Otherwise, we're still on cruise control this week with dry weather prevailing.

Not only is the weather quiet around here, but it's quiet around most of the country.  It'll be an active pattern the next couple of days across the Pacific Northwest, but for the Midwest, Southwest, the Rockies, all the way to the East coast, we're dry.

Thanksgiving Day forecast looks good.  We'll start the day off in the mid 30s, rise into the mid 40s for kickoff for all those High School football games, and end the day with mostly sunny skies and temps near 50.  Good luck to all the players out there, have fun, and eat lots of food after!

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

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.
