Hectic Times Ahead

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Let's face it, the Holidays can get pretty hectic and the last thing you need is some epic snowstorm to get in your way. Well..good news, you have a nice stretch of dry weather that will last into the start of the weekend. High pressure is moving into New England right now and will camp out for a few days. That means mainly sunny skies (there will be a few high, thin clouds out there today) and seasonal temps. Also with high pressure so close, little to no wind for the next couple of afternoons--that is HUGE this time of year when outside for any length of time.

While all this is going on, changes elsewhere are brewing....(insert dramatic music here)

The atmosphere will undergo changes that will greatly increase the chances of winter storms along the east coast. The first such chance will be on Sunday. As of now, it does not look like a big storm but it does look like a cold storm---so some patchy light snow/flurries appears likely on Sunday (all day) that will linger into the evening hours (including the Patriots game). This storm does have the potential to become a major storm with snow,sleet, freezing rain & rain. Too soon for rain/snow lines or how much in my town but use the next few days to find the shovels, test the snow-blowers and buy that first bag of sand/salt.

Later,

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

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.
