Take A Dive

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Forget the fiscal cliff...our temps just jumped off the meteorological cliff. Yowza---when you factor in the wind chill this morning, it feels nearly 40 degrees colder right now compared to yesterday at this time (5am).

The good thing about all the new-found cold air is the fact that it is dry so you have sunshine for the day. Despite all that sunshine, temps will crawl to 40 by afternoon. A fiesty northwest wind this morning will fade by afternoon--all in all, a nice early winter day. Skies remain mostly clear this evening before more clouds arrive after midnight. Evening temps into the 20s.

Friday offers more seasonable temps with afternoon highs reaching the mid & upper 40s. The reason for the milder day is our next storm approaching as it will push slightly warmer air into New England. This storm will also push clouds into our skies throughout the day and eventually some rain showers late in the day.

The weekend....everybody works for it and hopes for sunshine too. Outta luck here kids as a slow moving storm lolly-gags through the northeast both weekend days. That means each day offers clouds and a few showers each day---Saturday's chance of rain is a little higher than Sunday's (70% versus 40%). Sorry snow-lovers, no cold air for this weekend storm so just raindrops...no snowflakes. Hang in there.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Posted by Chris Lambert

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.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.
