Easing Into Winter

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Ready for some snow? Me too! It's not a blockbuster storm, rather, a storm to send you into a Currier & Ives moment or two. The storm will slide out of Pennsylvania and just south of New England today.  Plan on patches of light snow & flurries later this morning and lasting through the overnight hours. As the storm makes its closest pass to us this evening there is likely to be a steadier burst of snow after 7pm & lasting up until 4am Wednesday morning. The best chance for the *burst* of snow will be from Boston to Attleboro down to New Bedford and back to Hull. The snowfall forecast map shows where the snow burst is likely to occur tonight:

For most it's a coating to an inch event but you folks in Bristol & western Plymouth counties you may need to do some shoveling and plows may be out late tonight & early tomorrow morning.

The little storm that could (and will) leaves quickly tomorrow morning allowing some sunshine to return by afternoon. Despite the afternoon sunshine, temps will struggle to reach the low 40s--another day of below normal temps. In fact, temps stay below normal for the remainder of the week with afternoon temps staying in the 30s on Friday! #Brrr

Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.

Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!

More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.
