Get a not-so-desirable gift today? Oh well, that happens. Good news is you can always take it back tomorrow--heads up though, a nasty storm is charging this way & will arrive into Southern New England about this time tomorrow night(~8pm). This storm is loaded with moisture & energy as well as warm air so for those of you along the coastline----raindrops, not snowflakes.

Here are some early thoughts:

*Dry during the daylight hours Wednesday with light snow & coastal light rain starting between 8-10pm.

*Rain snow line charges inland to I-95/MA Pike late tomorrow night. Then that rain/snow line then craws north from the MA Pike toward Rt 2 overnight Wednesday.

*Our Special Map details how much snow falls before the snow changes to freezing rain/rain. It looks like a plowable snow is likely outside Rt 128 & points west by late tomorrow night & Thursday. Some ice accumulation is likely on top of that snow early Thursday morning. Nasty.

*Travel will be poor in for interior southern New England on Thursday morning & early afternoon.

*Coastal areas will pick up between 1-2" of rain during the storm and wind gusts along the coast (especially south shore/cape/islands) will gusts near 50mph from 7am Thu-1pm Thursday.

*Storm will end as some rain/snow showers late Thursday night afternoon & night.

*Dry weather returns for Friday.

Whew, and that's just the first of 2 big storms to affect us----another storm is possible late Saturday & Sunday--more on that later this week.

Enjoy & Merry Christmas!

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.

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.
