Second Round

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Did yesterday's big snowstorm out in Worcester county have you feeling a little empty? Want to get into the action? Maybe get your fair share of white?

Fine, we'll oblige.

The next storm up isn't like yesterdays. Not a nor'easter, not a 2-3" rain maker either. Instead, we have light snow event that becomes a little fiesty tomorrow evening across Southeast Mass. At play: cold air (just enough for snow, but not enough for a huge fluffy-factor), a storm track just south of Long Island, the Vineyard and Nantucket and a coastal front.

A coastal what?

A coastal front. A boundary between near 40 on Cape Cod and the 20s in Worcester. That is an added feature that will juice up the storm and essentially make it snow harder between 8pm and midnight.

So, without further bandwith...here's the timeline:

Startup 11am-1pm. As snow for most, but rain Taunton, New Bedford, Middleboro, Cape Cod.

Rain turns to snow in above mentioned areas, but stays as rain east of Rt. 3 (Plymouth to Scituate-like).

Snow becomes heavy south of Brockton, Foxboro and all  way to Canal by 8pm to midnight. Light snow elsewhere.

Change to snow late on Cape Cod, then exits after midnight.

Done.

Cold to follow for Pats game. Keep it real....

...warm.

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

Unsettling

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!
