White Christmas? Keep Dreaming

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Another storm, another round of rain.

Since Sunday, we've seen between 3/4" - 2" of water across Central and Eastern Mass! Puts a good dent in the drought, but we're still running a deficit of almost 9" since the beginning of the year. Long way back in that respect..

..but we're not quite done with this active, stormy pattern either. Another storm is scheduled for Friday, but before we get to that, let's just revel in some sunshine for a short spell, eh?

Two days will feature a cameo from our ol' friend. While tomorrow we'll battle plenty of leftover clouds - and a gusty, chilly wind - Thursday is looking like the shining beacon of the week. Temps remain about normal, which for this time of year means highs near 40, and lows in the 20s.

Now, back to the storm on Friday. Rain will hit early in the day, with a few downpours likely. Later on, the cold will shuffle in and temperatures will drop. Doesn't look like a dramatic drop, but don't expect those early highs in the low 50s to last through the evening.

Once again, our rain/snow line will be hours away - eventually pushing to the border with Quebec by storm's end. (Although the mountains of Northern New England will still get a heavy, wet snowfall.)

We're quiet and chilly into the holiday, but storms will stay far away. As a result, there will be NO white Christmas this year.

Sorry about that folks.

More Warmth

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

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.
