Patience Pays Off

Posted by Chris Lambert

Another November day down with temps well below the average.  In fact, the warmest the city of Boston hit all day was 36 degrees.   We have a couple more cold days shaping up, but eventually, I do see warmer weather in the forecast.

Tonight, the clouds clear out and temps fall back into the middle 20s, and with a cold start tomorrow, temps only warm into the lower 40s under a mixture of sun and clouds. 

Before we go up, we do need to go down again as a cold front comes blasting on through early Friday morning, and that means temps Friday afternoon won't make it out of the lower to middle 30s for highs.  At least there will be some sunshine!

That cold front returns as a warm front on Saturday, and as the warm air overruns the cold air in place, it rises, cools and condenses into clouds, and perhaps even a bit of light snow or flurries.  Minor accumulations are possible, and even a bit of freezing drizzle could create slippery spots outside route 128.   Eventually, the warmer air does win out, and flurries turn to sprinkles by the evening. 

Sunday features much warmer weather with highs near 50 and just a passing shower or two late in the day or at night.  Monday through Wednesday... more 50s with the chance of rain and breezy weather by Wednesday afternoon.

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.

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.

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