Holiday Nears
Posted by Pete Bouchard
Forecast is locked for the big feast on Thanksgiving. We'll see a lot of clouds for travel day Wednesday, then tons of sun, dry weather and light (OK, maybe non-existent) wind.
The coldest air seems to have passed as well. Temperatures this morning were as cold as 20 degrees in the suburbs (!), but now high clouds are streaming overhead, keeping us from the free-fall in previous nights. By morning, I expect we'll see upper 20s to low 30s all around the city (upper 30s downtown).
Also of note, the big inversion (temps warming with height - sealing in the lowest levels of the atmosphere) parked over New England. You may have noticed it in nights past. It traps the smoke, pollutants and fog close to the ground. You can literally see it (and smell it) fan out across the city late at night. Here's an example of what I'm talking about (NOT from our area):
Anyway, we'll be looking at a more jumpy forecast into the holiday weekend. Front will cross on Saturday and start shaking things up. Cold weather follows through Sunday and into Monday. Storm system may bring us some wintery weather by Tuesday.
Enjoy the peace and quiet, and safe travels!

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70. Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.
Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.
Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies. Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?
Still Good

How about yesterday? The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th. Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive.
