January, Why So Cold?!

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

The post holiday blues may be setting in--happens every year and it's no different this year. I blame the weather---too darn cold. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love winter and snow but days like the next couple are clunkers. You know, or will soon remember, as we have cold conditions all day long and a feisty breeze adding insult to injury.

Temps this morning are running in the lower teens & single numbers and despite a fair amount of sunshine on the way, we'll only see afternoon high temps reach the mid 20s (wind chills in the mid teens). What makes it even worse is while we are plowing through our work & school days a reinforcement of cold, arctic air will surge into New England tonight. Look for overnight lows to go even lower on Thursday morning than where we are this morning with many towns into the single numbers. Thursday itself offers more sunshine but also cold weather from start to finish with most towns only flirting with the mid 20s by afternoon.

The good news with all this cold, arctic air is that it will push the storm track deep into the south for the next several days keeping storminess out of New England right through the upcoming weekend.

Good luck getting back to the grind today!

Peace.

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. 

Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day?  Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much?  It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph.  No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.
