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!

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.
