The Cold Is Bold

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Cold yet again. That's our theme for the month with 18 of the 28 days being colder than normal and the monthly temp is running about 2.5 degrees below normal. A far cry from last November when Boston saw the 2nd warmest November on record. That was so last year.

Plan on another chilly day with a mix of sun & clouds for the day. Temperatures will crawl into the low 40s by afternoon but a feisty wind (10-20mph) will add even more chill into the air for much of the day & evening. Dry & chilly weather continues this evening (read Boston Common Tree Lighting).

Even colder weather on tap for tomorrow as a blast of arctic air arrives. This arctic air will keep temps pinned down in the low to mid 30s for much of the day--way below our normal high of  47. Then things get ironic...

..as a warm front begins its push into New England on the first day of meteorological winter--December 1st. This front won't be able to warm the air on Saturday but it will create clouds & patches of light snow/flurries through the day. A coating is likely in many towns during the day on Saturday. This warm front does deliver the goods by Sunday though with temps soaring into the upper 40s by afternoon.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.

We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain.  Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad.  Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year.  In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day.  That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board.  Not bad being average this time of year, huh?

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, and to my dad as well.  So what's on tap for the day?  Golf, grilling, just hanging out? Whatever it is, all and all, it's still a pretty good day for dad weather-wise.  I wish I could say the Father's Day forecast exactly repeats Saturday, but we do have a few late afternoon showers to track.
