Merry Christmas

Posted by Chris Lambert

Mother Nature delivering on this Christmas morning as light snow falls on most of us.  We won't get a lot, but a dusting to an inch creates a touch of white on the ground that adds a bit to the holiday spirit.  You won't even have to shovel off the steps... a broom will do the job just fine.  The light snow tapers to scattered flurries by Noon.

A much bigger storm moves in tomorrow night and continues through Thursday morning.  Any snow, quickly changes to rain inside route 128 as an east wind floods us with milder air.   From 128 to 495, a couple inches could fall before the rain takes over, with the best chance of several inches... along and northwest of 495 from Lawrence to Marlboro.  Well inland, north of Worcester to Townsend to Manchester, NH, a lot of snow falls before a mix with sleet and rain on Thursday morning.  There, 6-12" could fall, with a lot of ski country getting about a foot of snow with this one.   Along the coast, not only do we deal with the rain, but also, strong winds.  High wind watch is in place for SE Mass for winds gusting to 60mph!

For you snow lovers in Boston... sorry, mostly rain on this storm, but perhaps a colder track of another storm over the weekend can get the job done!

Merry Christmas everyone!

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
