Day 7

Posted by Chris Lambert

This cold from Canada has had some staying power eh?  In Boston, we slid below the freezing mark late in the evening last Sunday, and haven't come back above it since.  In fact, as temps fail to crack the 32 degree mark again today, we'll mark the 7th day in a row of sub-freezing weather.  

Tomorrow may be the eighth, but it'll be close as a warm front slowly increases our temps in the late afternoon and evening.  In addition, that warm front also triggers a batch of light to moderate snow to break out.  Start time on the snow is between 2-5PM, with the earlier arrival in that range outside 495.  That snow will be just in time for the evening commute, and certainly has the potential to slow things down.

Don't expect a ton of snow, but a general 1-3" falls through the evening. 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 highest totals show up in northern Mass and Southern NH.  In the city of Boston, 1-2" seems to be a good fit for a range.

The snow changes to sleet and freezing drizzle late in the evening for the rest of us, 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. Perhaps even near 60 in some sun breaks out?  Steadier rain works in at night, before colder air ends the week.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

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?

Still Good

How about yesterday?  The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th.  Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive. 

Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day?  Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much?  It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph.  No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.
