That Was Easy

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

That was easy. Just a whimper of a storm yesterday & last evening--a nice way to ease into winter. Another way is to continue the chill and that happens right into the start of the weekend. We'll start the day with clouds and as we step into the afternoon those clouds will still be there but they will share the sky with the sun at times. Temps reach the low 40s.

More dry weather is on tap for tomorrow (November has been dry....we're about 2.5" below normal) and I think we will see even more sunshine. Despite that sunshine, temps finish the day below normal---reaching the mid 40s. Clouds arrive by tomorrow evening and those clouds will be tied to an arctic front.

That front will blast through here early Friday morning which will keep temps in the mid 30s the entire day! A northwest wind won't help--actually, it will make things worse, creating wind chills in the upper 20s for much of the day.

Looking into the weekend, another front pesters us but it's a warm front and while that warm front will create clouds/flurries on Saturday it will usher in much warmer temps by Sunday & Monday of next week.

Have a great day. ~JR

How To Spin This

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!

Although my forecast was busted today, there was one good thing that came out of it.

Stability.

That gray overcast that hung over the eastern half of the Commonwealth provided a stablizing influence to our atmosphere. The cool air blowing in from the ocean kept the temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s all the way back to Metrowest. While that makes for lousy short-and-t-shirt weather, it is poison to thunderstorms.
