The Winds Of Change

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Finally....a morning that does not feature rain, ice, drizzle or mist. Instead we have wind--the winds of change-- that is trying to keep things dry throughout the region. That wind is on the backside of yesterdays storm which has parked itself up in northern New England---too far away for rain & snow (perhaps a coastal sprinkle or flurry this morning though). There will be a bunch of clouds for much of the day and that wind will do its thing too, keeping a chilly feel to the air.

Thursday is winning---December style of course--with mostly sunny skies, little to no wind and temperatures running in the low 40s. Easy Peasy.

As we roll into Friday, another storm will be upon us but this like its cousins from earlier this week will throw raindrops at us instead of snowflakes. That rain will be briefly heavy during the morning commute but quickly taper off to cloudy skies by afternoon. Behind this storm is much colder air that will rush in here late Friday afternoon and stay with us this weekend. In fact, some leftover moisture will take on the form of snow flurries & snow showers for much of Saturday.

White Christmas??----I'm still holding out hope (the eternal optimist in me) as it looks like a tiny storm may actually slide through New England late Monday night-early Christmas morning with some light snow.

Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!

More Warmth

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.
