Give it Time

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Bitterly cold temperatures this morning. Haven't seen the likes of this since...

...last winter. OK, that's not saying much, but in some cases - at Blue Hill (2°) and Pepperell (-8°) it was the coldest in two years! The senior weather spotters we have in our collective remember when mornings like this were common in winter.

So am I pro-snow/cold or pro-warm/no snow? I am neither. I enjoy the best of every season. But as a go-between, I'll tell you that there are few subjects in weather that are more divisive.

For the warm weather fans, the arctic air is already in retreat. Won't really notice it tonight, since temperatures will still bottom out in the teens. By morning, however, we should bounce back to the 20s. And although the arctic air peels back, it's not like we're rocketing into the 40s and 50s anytime soon.

Through the weekend, we'll remain on the southernmost edge of the cold air. That leads to temperatures in the 30s and lows in the 20s. It's not until the middle of next week that we see the numbers respond to a shift in the jetstream and catapult us into the mid and upper 40s. It's not panic time for the outdoor ice rinks, as this warmup looks to last only into next weekend. Couple of rain events are in the pipeline too.

What A Day

The last day of spring will be fantastic! What a way to close the books on the vernal season. As our weather producer, Jim Colman says...."what a season it was..rain, snow, wind, sun and more rain" Truth Jim, truth. Only sun today with afternoon temps in the upper 70s--a great day for all outdoor activities.

Just In Time

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:
