Hello GoodBye

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

The coldest chunk of air is now leaving New England---and it's Friday! Winning. Moving arctic air out of here requires some work (thank all the nooks & crannies of New England for that one!) and that work comes in the form of some wind & clouds. High temps today will reach the mid 30s--which is close to normal for these parts---but that southwest breeze dragging in the milder air will work against itself as it will feel chilly at times. Clouds will win the sky battle today.

As we step into the weekend, I spy some delightful winter weather. No big rain/snow storms and no bone-chilling temps either. Saturday offers a lot of sunshine and temps in the mid 30s. The only knock against tomorrow is a breeze for much of the day--it will feel a bit colder at times. Sunday won't be as breezy but not as bright either as a tiny storm pesters us with clouds & flurries. Still a great day for outdoor activities.

Looking into next week, our weather pattern will slowly warm as afternoon highs flirt with 40 and overnight lows settle into the 20s. In terms of storminess, that will make a return by the middle & end of next week. Leaning more toward rain/ice than snow. Stay tuned.

Have a great weekend!

Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.

Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!

More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.
