Rain Is Back

Posted by Chris Lambert

It was nice to see some sun today, but the dry weather is quick to slide out as rain showers work in this evening.  For the most part, it will be an all rain event, however, 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 plain ole' rain.  Rain will be steady after midnight and continue to be heavy at times until about 7AM tomorrow.  The heaviest rain early tomorrow morning will be across the MA/NH border.

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 upper 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.

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.

Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies.  Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?

Still Good

How about yesterday?  The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th.  Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive. 

Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day?  Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much?  It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph.  No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.
