Snowing

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Snow! Some winters it's just about daily (2 winters ago) while others it never happens (last year). This year it's been location location location. Coastal cities & towns have seen very little while out in the Worcester area, snowfall has been just about normal. Just about all of us see some snow today---even at the coast.

Here's the thinking on our storm:

*Timing---steadiest snow falls from 5am until 12pm today. This is when the accumulating snow happens. Looks like 1-3" along the coast & 3-5" likely along & west of Interstate 95. After 12pm, look for patches of light snow & light rain.

*Travel---Poor this morning across the entire area. Road conditions will improve through the afternoon. main roads will be wet for the evening commute. Neighborhood streets/ sidewalks/ parking lots will slowly improve during the afternoon.

*Temps/Wind---Not a big storm so little if any wind and temps will hang around 30-35 for much of the day.

That's it! As we step into the evening hours, that sloppy slush will harden up as lows drop into the 20s under a partly cloudy sky.

We are dry & seasonable tomorrow but will watch an ocean storm tomorrow night & Friday morning. I do think the storm will throw snow onto the Cape/Islands & south shore late tomorrow night & Friday morning. It looks like 1-3" Boston to the Canal is possible and perhaps 3-6" out on Cape Cod/Islands. The weather improves during the day on Friday---but the temps don't, cold with highs in the 20s!

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.
