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.

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.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.

Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies.  Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?

Still Good

How about yesterday?  The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th.  Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive.
