Nearing The End Of The Yellow Brick Road

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Dear World,

Boom--Welcome to winter! What a storm yesterday with the rain, snow, wind & coastal flooding. We get to gather our thoughts today & resume our holiday plans with sunshine & dry roads (mainly--some melting will occur). Overall, a nice winter day ahead.

As we roll into the weekend, another storm takes aim on New England. Thankfully, this will not be like its older brother but it will be strong enough to snarl traffic/travel plans late tomorrow afternoon & evening with snow returning to the region. Tomorrow morning will be dry but look for light snow to arrive early Saturday afternoon (12-2pm) and continue well into late Saturday night. The *Special Map* in our maps section details the snowfall potential for the storm.

By Sunday, the storm is looooong gone but winter is just waking up! Blustery & cold conditions will be the rule with temps spending much of the day in the upper 20s--wind chills will be in the teens. That Patriots game will be dry, blustery & cold with kickoff temps in the upper 20s (wind chills in the teens). Go Pats!

The final hours of 2012 will offer dry conditions and seasonably chilly weather--daytime highs on Monday in the mid 30s and evening temps settling into the 20s for First Night festivities.

Have a great weekend!

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.
