Pause For Effect

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Fan of bitter cold and monster snowstorms that bury towns? Uh oh, this isn't your blog or weather pattern. Nope, the Old Man (winter) is taking a break from us for this week and even into early next week. We do get these January thaws just about every year but this one is running a bit early (typically we see a thaw form January 20th-26th where temps will run ~10 degrees above normal).

Today will be the coldest of the bunch as temps reach the mid 30s (normal for this time of year) under a mix of sun & clouds. A morning breeze may contribute to your Case of the Mondays. Clear skies tonight with overnight lows into the 20s.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of March-like temperatures will many towns easily reaching the mid 40s with mostly sunny skies. Wednesday, a cool front moves through the clouds & even a few afternoon rain showers but no arctic air. That front is not from the north pole but rather Seattle and that means temps don't take a hit late in the week. In fact, if anything, our temps hold steady & even climb a few more degrees by late week.

Is this the end of winter?!?!----Nope, not by a long shot. Bitter cold & snow will return....just not anytime soon.

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.

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.
