Bold Cold

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Today is a cold day, no getting around that. The coldest of the winter (so far) as many towns are starting just a few degrees above zero & some towns even south of the goose-egg. That's just temperature---add in a little wind and it feels like it's below zero for many cities & towns! As we step through the day, our temps will struggle to reach the low 20s by afternoon---far below our normal high temps in the upper 30s.

As we move from the afternoon & into the evening, temps get wacky as they actually continue their upward trend from the afternoon. In fact, temperatures by early tomorrow morning will reach the upper 20s! That will set us up for some milder weather for Finally Friday. Temps return to normal on Friday with most towns in the upper 30s, the only issue is that a westerly breeze will mask some of that mild feel to the air.

Looking into the weekend, there are no big storms (no little ones either), no shots of bitterly cold air and no record warmth. In fact, a nice January weekend in store with afternoon highs in the 30s each day and sunny skies on Saturday. Sunday will offer clouds & some early morning flurries. No big deal.

It appears our January Thaw will arrive next week with afternoon highs in the 40s!

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

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.
