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.

Just In Time

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.
