Unimpressed

Posted by Chris Lambert

Like McKayla Maroney with her arms crossed, the forecast models are unimpressed with this weak storm giving us a glancing blow Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.  We'll get a bit of light snow and flurry activity, mostly south of the Pike, but not much accumulation.  Although a few spots in RI and interior Southeast Mass could collect an inch of snow, there shouldn't be too many headaches out there.  Along the coastline of Southeast Mass and through Buzzards Bay, the Cape and the Islands, an onshore component to the wind keeps the temps closer to the surface warm enough for rain drops to mix in.

The main theme as we go through the week will continue to be the colder than average weather pattern settling, and remaining in place into next weekend.  It'll be a dry forecast Wednesday - Friday, with perhaps a few ocean-effect snow showers across the Cape on Friday, and a possible batch of snow or snow showers ahead of a warm front on Saturday. 

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

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.
