Recovery Fail

Posted by Chris Lambert

Cold air settles into New England today as high temps struggle to get out of the 20s.  We've even had snow this morning across the Cape, with many towns picking up 1-3", although closer to 4" on Nantucket.  With the exception of the outer Cape experiencing ocean effect snow showers through the rest of this morning, most of us see returning sun.  That sun doesn't help us out too much in the temp department as highs struggle to clear the 20s.

We'll warm up for the weekend, but the warm-up is brief as temps start crashing back down Sunday night.  If you're heading to Gillette, there will be quite a spread of temperatures throughout the day.  Near 40 in the early afternoon, near 30 at kickoff and in the 20s by the end of the game.  Factor in the breeze, and wind chill factors head to the teens.

That's just the tip of the iceberg as we go freezer cold by mid-week.  Temps start near zero Wednesday morning, and stay in the teens during the afternoon.   The cold has some staying power next week, lasting at least Monday-Thursday... making this brief weekend recovery temperature-wise see like a failed attempt at a warmer pattern.  We'll take the nicer weather on the weekend though! 

Go Pats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.

Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies.  Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?
