Seconds on the Sunshine

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Still mired in clouds today. While we did see some sun, it wasn't all that bright. Temperatures still managed to make it to 50 in many spots, but a cooling breeze at the water's edge kept us in the upper 40s.

Clouds will thin out for the big feast tomorrow and temps will moderate...by a degree or two. Not much to move the needle until we get to Friday, when the wind direction stirs from the south. By then, we could be knocking on the door of 56 or 57. (I know, big deal.)

But in retrospect, it might be. Colder air is en route. By Saturday afternoon, we'll fall through the upper 30s with a gusty, biting wind. More cold is in store for Sunday and Monday as we eye a small storm moving through the Ohio Valley.

Recent trends have shown this to be a changeover situation, where we start as some snow or mix and then turn to rain. (Along the coast, we may never even get the snow/sleet.) While this morning's long range maps have flopped back to a colder solution - showing mostly snow & sleet for EVERYONE - I'm not taking the bait. Reason being, the upper level winds are still showing a milder track.

Still plenty of time to sort out the details and fine tune the forecast. Enjoy the holiday weekend and be safe!

What A Day

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

The last day of spring will be fantastic! What a way to close the books on the vernal season. As our weather producer, Jim Colman says...."what a season it was..rain, snow, wind, sun and more rain" Truth Jim, truth. Only sun today with afternoon temps in the upper 70s--a great day for all outdoor activities.

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:
