Warmth Charges In

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Before we can talk warmup, we need to address the lingering pockets of cold. Temperatures are still near freezing in Greater Worcester, so there may be some BRIEF, MINOR icing up until about 10pm tonight. There's not a lot of precipitation rolling around out there, so salted/treated roads should be fine.

Now, back to the warmup.

It's real, it's toasty and it's coming. Gusty southwest winds will hurl

the warm air into New England tomorrow. May take most of the day to whittle away the cold in Southern NH, but in Massachusetts, with a few breaks of sun, low 60s are possible!

That might have you thinking records, right? So am I.

That 63 isn't necessarily a long shot. Give it enough time and sun, and that's a sure bet. (On this date in 2002, we hit 65, so it's not out of the question.)

Anyway, the wind is the big issue lurking in the forecast. Tomorrow night, we might see some gusts 50-60mph areawide as a cold front approaches. Couple that with a line of intense rain - and a possible t-storm - and you have a wild night coming! Hold on to the steering wheel if you're traveling late tomorrow/tomorrow night.

Still some lingering warmth Thursday, but we're not breaking records. And neither are we into the weekend with the cold. It's run-of-the-mill stuff with a shot at some accumulating snow Sunday. Not a big storm...but something's lurking in the weather maps.

Enjoy your taste of spring tomorrow.

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.
