Cold, Snow, Ice, Warm, Wind, Rain, Cold

Posted by Chris Lambert

Confused by the title?  Well, that's pretty much how this next 7day stretch goes.

Let's start with tonight.  More cold weather is in store as overnight lows fall back into the single digits in the burbs and low to mid teens in the city.  Add in the breeze, and wind chill factors run about 10 degrees colder than the actual air temperature.

Tomorrow, the wind won't be as strong, that makes it feel a bit better, and with highs running in the upper 20s to 30, overall, we have a pretty good Sunday on our hands.

Any sun fades quickly Monday behind thickening clouds, with light snow breaking out along a warm front late in the afternoon.  Don't expect a ton of snow, but a general 1-3" falls late Monday afternoon, through the evening, producing slick roads, perhaps in time for the ride home from work.  Southern Bristol, southern Plymouth and the Cape/Islands will be at the lower end of the snow range, if not under it, thanks to warming temps changing snow over to sleet and drizzle fairly quick.

The rest of us will see the change to sleet and freezing drizzle late in the evening, creating an icy glaze on top of the fresh inch or two of snow (close to the coast, snow goes to plain ole drizzle).  As warm air finally wins the battle, that freezing drizzle turns to plain drizzle by the AM commute on Tuesday.

Tuesday is kind of a blah day.  Nothing special, lots of clouds, temps in the upper 30s.

Wednesday will be windy and warmer, isolated passing shower, temps in the mid 50s.  Steadier rain works in at night, before colder air ends the week.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

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.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
