Something Simple

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

A simple story ahead with high pressure anchored here in New England until Sunday. You can plan mostly sunny days & mainly clear nights. Our temperatures today will reach the low & mid 40s and then take a run at 50 by tomorrow afternoon. A cool front looks to drop into New England on Saturday sending afternoon temps back into the low 40s. See? Simple!

Sunday and beyond?.....Not so much. The pattern becomes active and a number of storms will take a swipe at us for the next 2-3 weeks! They won't all be snow or rain, likely a mix of both and the first one on the docket looks to be just that.

Here are some early thoughts:

*Storm affects region in the Sunday-Monday timeframe

*Look for patchy light snow/flurries on Sunday afternoon. Little to no accumulation expected

*Patriots game will feature flurries and/or sprinkles--not expecting any heavy rain or snow

*Monday will see the light mix of precipitation become steadier & heavier by afternoon & evening

*Looks like mainly a rain event for coastal cities & towns with snow farther inland

*Some plowing of the snow appears likely right now---along I-495 AND north of the MA Pike greatest risk of plowable snow

*Possible 2nd storm next Wednesday--more on that later!

Enjoy the peace & quiet weather!

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.

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.
