At Least The Weather Is Nice!

Posted by Chris Lambert

Holy cow!  Did you get stuck in that traffic yesterday afternoon?  That was bad... it took me an hour and a half to go from Watertown to Canton, and I'm sure many of you have similar stories.  

While I can't promise good traffic patterns today, I can forecast good travel weather with temperatures running near 50.  We've had a lot of thin clouds overnight and early this morning, and we'll watch more lower clouds back in off the ocean midday and this afternoon.  So overall, we'll call it mostly cloudy, but DRY.

I do think we'll start off Thanksgiving with some low clouds, but they break for some afternoon sun as temps warm into the lower 50s.  With more dry weather in place, it's an overall good looking holiday.  High School football games kickoff around 10AM, and we'll have temps running in the lower 40s for that.

Friday is the warmest day with highs in the middle 50s. 

You know warmth doesn't last long this time of year, and it ends abruptly on Saturday.  Saturday will start off ok, but as a cold front comes in comes in, a passing shower transitions us colder and windier weather by the afternoon as temps go from the upper 40s late morning to the upper 30s by 4PM.

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!

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. 

Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day?  Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much?  It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph.  No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.

September 14th, 2012. That's the last time Boston had a high temp of 80 (81 that day)--nearly 8 months ago. That streak should end today as yesterday's much advertised warm front did its thing, leaving us with a nice warm bubble of air today. I think metro Boston reaches the low 80s under partly to mostly sunny skies. One reason for the warmth is it's leftover super heat from the Midwest and also a fiesty west wind 10-20mph keeping that chilly ocean air at bay. All in all, a great late spring/early summer day.
