Messy Mix

Posted by Chris Lambert

A cold, damp day with light snow and light rain mixed in didn't make it the most pleasant day to be out and about.  The theme tonight won't change all that much either with rain and snow, transitioning to mainly snow in the City of Boston.  As winds turn north this evening, cooler air drains in, and that's where temps slide to near freezing and snow starts to stick a bit to the roads and sidewalks. 

I don't expect a lot of snow with this storm, more of a nuisance.  Many locations in Metrowest, Worcester County, Merrimack Valley, North Shore, pick up a coating to a half inch, mostly of grassy surfaces.  Along route 1 from Norwood to Foxoboro to Attleboro, we'll see a bit of a steadier snow the evening, giving us about an inch of snow.  South of there, Brockton to Easton to Bridgewater, I think 1-2" ought to do it, and perhaps locally seeing as much as 2-3" around Taunton, Rehoboth, Lakeville.  For more on this, see the "special map" on our web site.  These totals will be highest on grassy surfaces and car tops, less on the driveways and sidewalks.

A few lingering flurries and snow showers are around tomorrow morning, otherwise clouds and some sun and continued cool. 

Cool weather rules for a few more days, but by the 2nd half of the weekend and early next week, we likely take a run back toward 50!

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.
