Coldest Behind Us

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Well we made it. To Friday, to the weekend, to the other side...

...of the cold. I'm not ready to back off completely on the arctic air, but the coldest days are behind us. (I'm almost ready to say for the entire winter too - climatologically, we're passing the coldest part of winter.) The weekend will still be cold - esp. in the mornings with temps in the teens - but it won't be as numbing as the past few days.

We also are watching a weak storm system rounding Long Island and Nantucket en route to the open Atlantic. Not much to fuss about as the cold, dry air squashes the snow into the Mid-Atlantic:

Not a lot of wind tomorrow in the wake of this system, but it won't exactly be calm either. Expect a nagging, persistent wind most of the day with a blend of sun and clouds. Sunday is the pick of the weekend! Highs near 30 (what's that like?) and sun dominates.

After all this bitter air it's hard to believe we'll be tracking a mild, wet storm early next week. Before we turn to raindrops, however, we may get a couple of inches of snow in some spots Monday night. The warmup will last through Wednesday before Old Man Winter sends in the cold reinforcements late next week.

Make it a good weekend!

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

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!
