Cold? We've Got This

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Nothing like an arctic front in late November. While we are in the low 30s here, farther north in ME/VT/NH temps are running in the 10s---quite impressive for this time of year. For us, that arctic air doesn't quite make it here but what it will do is keep us in the low to mid 30s for the entire day. Yet another day this month with colder than normal temperatures (for those of you scoring at home that's 19 of 30 days with below normal temps). Like many other days this month, it will also be dry with clouds & sun battling for your attention.

Moving onto the weekend! Tomorrow is moving day--meaning we will begin to move this month-long chill out of New England. This moving process does come with a price as we will see clouds & even a few patches of light snow & flurries through the day (Coating on the grass type snow). Temps tomorrow slowly climb into the upper 30s by late afternoon. In fact, as we continue into the evening the temps will keep rising into the low 40s by early Sunday morning!

By Sunday, the warmth will be here. Most towns will breeze out of the 40s during the morning hours and reach the mid & upper 50s by afternoon. Ideal for getting the Christmas tree or putting up the holiday lights--Griswold style!!

Much of next week--the first week of December---will behave more like early November with highs in the upper 50s for several days!
No worries snow lovers, I think our pattern gets fun sometime around December 11th-14th.

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.

Unsettling

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.
