The Song Remains The Same

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

The message out of the weather office remains the same (as does the song/Zeppelin), warm weather.  We had high temps reach the mid 40s yesterday but I think we can do better than that over the next few days. Take today, after we scour out some chilly pockets of air (and freezing fog), we can easily reach the mid 40s and perhaps flirt with 50 in some cities/towns. The sun will battle some clouds for much of the day.

Those clouds are tied to a cool front that will slide through here this evening. That front is cool, not arctic though, so Thursday's temps won't take a hit. Many towns will reach the low & middle 40s once again. Some wind on Thursday morning will get in the way of that mild air.

Friday does offer some slightly cooler weather with more clouds around as well as a few rain showers. These showers are tied to a weak weather system--a system that lacks arctic air. In fact, after that system bounces out of here this weekend, temps will also bounce--up, reaching the low to mid 50s! Yes, it will be warm for that Patriots game Sunday afternoon with temps in the 50s for much of the day & early evening hours.

Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

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.
