Average Is Good

Posted by Chris Lambert

Average high this time of year in Boston in 37 degrees, and we'll be very close to that over the next couple of days.  Mostly sunny skies prevail today and clear skies continue into the first half of tonight.  The second half of tonight features increasing clouds that could produce a flurry or two by daybreak tomorrow. 

I don't expect much snow, but flurries and scattered snow showers could dust the ground in some (not all towns) towns tomorrow morning.  Whatever light coating is there in the morning, melts in the afternoon with highs running several degrees above freezing.  Sunday afternoon is dry, but another round of flurries or snows showers come through late-day or at night, with the next cold front pushing in.

Behind that front, colder air pushes into southern New England, setting up a chilly Monday and cold Monday night.   That'll be all for the cold for a while as temps warm starting Tuesday afternoon, and don't look back until the middle part of the month.

Heading to Ski Country?  Looks good up north.  It's starting off near 30 for many in northern New England this morning, although i expect temps to fall back into the 20s with an increase with this afternoon.  It'll be in the single digits and teens tonight, and warm to the upper 20s on Sunday with clouds and scattered snow showers.   Have fun!

Unsettling

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!

Although my forecast was busted today, there was one good thing that came out of it.

Stability.

That gray overcast that hung over the eastern half of the Commonwealth provided a stablizing influence to our atmosphere. The cool air blowing in from the ocean kept the temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s all the way back to Metrowest. While that makes for lousy short-and-t-shirt weather, it is poison to thunderstorms.

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.

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