Messy Monday Afternoon

Posted by Chris Lambert

We've had plenty of cold, now we await the snow.  It won't be a big storm, but the timing of it does not work in our favor.  Snow breaks out Monday afternoon in the timeframe of 2-4PM.  Perhaps an hour earlier in Worcester County.  The snow is light to moderate through sunset, allowing for snow to cover many roads by the evening commute.  Between 6-8 PM, that snow changes to sleet and freezing drizzle, which throws a crunchy glaze on top of the snow.  In the evening, temps warm up above freezing near the coast, but stay sub 32 around and outside Route 128, allowing for slick travels through the night.

Few slippery spots linger inland Tuesday morning, but for the most part, we'll see improvements.  Improvements in temps too as afternoon highs near 40 degrees despite lots of lingering clouds.

A few more showers along a warm front could run through Tuesday night, but it appears that warm front blasts north Wednesday morning.  With a southerly wind taking over, temps warm into the mid to upper 50s.  Any breaks of sun allow for 60+.  A passing shower is possible Wednesday, but the higher chance for a soaking rain slides in Wednesday night with a cold front.  Behind the front, winter returns as we end the week cold.

February looks to start cold, and perhaps a below normal first week or two.  Time will tell if that also allows for more than a nuisance snow.

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.
