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.

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.

We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain.  Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad.  Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year.  In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day.  That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board.  Not bad being average this time of year, huh?
