Everybody Just Calm Down

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

I think wind is really the enemy this time of year and that was never more true than yesterday. Wind chills spent much of the day below zero because winds were gusting between 20-30 mph. Today, that wind is a little fiesty (nor sure why, it is Friday) for a few hours this morning but as we step into the afternoon there won't be much wind out there----in fact, winds will be.....calm.  Also, the core of the bitter air is now leaving and by afternoon our temperatures will reach the lower 20s. Lower 20s & little wind will go a long way to making it more tolerable when outside. We will also see some clouds take over the sky as the day grows longer.

These clouds I blog about are tied to a tiny storm that will zip south of New England later today & tonight. It's too far away to mess up date night but it will create some flurries & even patchy light snow from 9pm until 3am (Haha---that's some date if you're still on the roads at 3am!) . You folks on the cape/islands will see some steadier snow tonight and because of this plan on 1-2" of snow by early Saturday morning. The rest of Saturday (and the weekend for that matter) offer a mix of sun & clouds with seasonably cold temps--afternoon highs each day in the mid & upper 20s. Some wind is around each day to make it feel a bit colder.

Looking into next week, our weather stops coming from Yellowknife,Canada and instead Seattle, Washington....translation: warmer weather. We will go through some weather swapping out our climates. Clouds & patchy light snow are likely on Monday afternoon, while rain showers will be with us on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!

Just In Time

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.
