The Short Visit

Posted by Chris Lambert

It's great to see that sunshine back with us this morning as yesterday's clouds and mist are now behind us.  It'll be a dry Sunday with temperatures averaging in the upper 40s.

Don't get use to a lot of sun though, as it's quick visit ends as clouds thicken this afternoon and showers move in this evening.  There may be just enough cold air north of route 2 in Worcester County and in SW New Hampshire, that this storm starts as a brief mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.  Accumulations there would be under an inch, but a few slick spots are possible after midnight, into the pre-dawn hours.   For the rest of us... it's a rain event.  Rain will be steady after midnight and continue to be heavy at times until about 7AM tomorrow. 

After the early morning steady rain, we'll get some dry stretches between scattered showers through the rest of the day and into the evening.  Temps jump up to near 60 for many in the Boston area, points south and rise into the 50s north of the city. Although, they'll hold in the 40s across southern NH, where the warm front has a tough time getting through. 

Heading to the Pats game?  Early tailgating weather is in the low 60s, and holding at least into the mid 50s through the game.  Dry stretches are possible during the tailgate and game time festivities, but I'd still prepare for scattered showers.  Most of the showers won't work through until midnight and there after as the actually cold front heads in.

Cooler and drier weather rules the rest of the week.

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.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

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.
