End of Days...

...in the 50s.

Cold air is marching across New York, bringing back the wind AND the 30s and 40s. We're not going into the deep freeze, nor are we bringing back the howling winds. What I'm seeing is persistent wind and cold: the kind that nags you when you're outside...and reminds you that we're on the brink of winter. That's an important point too. We've been a quiet, semi-balmy pattern for OVER a week now.

It all comes home to roost with the passage of a cold front late tonight/predawn tomorrow. Temps will struggle through the 40s for much of the day tomorrow. By mid/late afternoon, we'll finally give in as temperatures fall into the 30s. Keep that in mind if you're coming into the city for the evening. Wind chills will be in the upper 20s to low 30s to boot!

The cold air settling in next week will be enough to ward off the storms too. I was concerned about a possible snow/mix/rain event Tuesday and Wednesday, but that seems to be entirely out of the picture now.

Dress in layers!

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!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
