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.

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

Unsettling

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!
