Game On

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Major storm erupting far offshore. Pressure has been dropping like a rock as it intensifies. Why does that matter to us? We're in its shockwave, and the result has been an intense precipitation.

Over the next few hours, snow will continue to hammer the interior while rain takes the coast. As the storm rounds Martha's Vineyard near midnight, the rain will get pushed down to Cape Cod...slowly at first, then it comes on at a frenzied pace. For that reason, we do have accumulating snow for the immediate South Shore and the Cape.

Snowfall rates will continue to average around 1" per hour in parts of SE Mass. through this evening. Obviously, plows will have a hard time keeping up. Take it slow and easy.

Wrapup on the storm is well after midnight. These storms have a way of sticking around and throwing snow back well after 'last call'. We may even see some flakes predawn on Cape Cod. Also on the backside: howling winds. Storms of this nature hurl a lot of wind around, so gusts will probably exceed 45-50 mph on Cape. Hang on tight!

Tomorrow's a cold one. Pats game will be bone-chiling and windy. Temps in the upper 20s, wind chills in the teens. Dress for success to hold off hypothermia.

More updates this evening!

Can Only Go Up From Here

Rain and drizzle continues tonight as temperatures drop into the mid 30s to 40 degrees.  Any burst of heavier precip drags down colder air, and elevations above 1000 feet in northern Worcester County  or southwester NH see wet snow mixing in overnight.  No shovels or plows needed for us, but it is a sure sign how cold the atmosphere is for late May.  As of this writing, Mt. Mansfield in VT has picked up 7.5" of snow and Whiteface Mtn. in NY has picked up 18"!

This Is How It Starts? Really?

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees.  So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right?  Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in. 

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.
