Turkey Soup and Snow

Posted by Chris Lambert

Couple things to talk about the next several days:  1) How the cold & windy weather prompts comfort food talk like mom's homemade turkey soup.  2)Yes, there's the potential for some of us to see snow Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.

It wasn't that temps were all that awful this afternoon, it was that the wind seemed to pierce right through you.  Of course, with winds gusting past 30mph, any chill in the air is magnified, and that'll be the case tonight and through the day tomorrow.  In fact, with overnight lows settling down into the mid 20s tonight, and winds constant around 15mph with occasional gusts to 30mph, the wind chill factor hovers in the teens.  Best to break out that heavier jacket if you're staying out late tonight.  Also, if your holiday leftovers are down to the bones... maybe it's time to throw them in the pot and make a great broth for some soup.  We'll need that comfort food the next week or so as a chillier pattern settles in.

So how bout that snow?  It is possible Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night, with perhaps a few lingering flakes Wednesday morning.  It doesn't look like a blockbuster storm, but it does appear a wave of low pressure tracks close enough to bring us precip, and perhaps, accumulating snow.  With an onshore component to the wind, I think the marine layer provides enough warmth for rain to mix in at times inside I-95 to the coast. Outside, I-95/Route 128, enough cold air should hold to see white and not wet.  Too early to throw out numbers, exact track and intensity are still a bit uncertain, but it's possible that some of us will need to clean off the car or shovel the sidewalk and driveways by Wednesday morning.

Just In Time

Posted by Chris Lambert

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

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

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.

Like A Waterfall

Posted by Pete Bouchard

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!

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

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.
