A Touch Of Snow

Posted by Chris Lambert

In a month that can spawn vicious snowstorms (35th anniversary of the Blizzard of '78 this week), we have a relatively quiet pattern over the next several days, aside from a bit of light snow that falls over the 2nd half of the weekend. 

Early this evening, snow showers are in and out across the Cape and Islands, as well as Buzzards Bay.  For most of us, we're flake free until midnight, but after that, a few flurries and scattered snow showers slide through.  MetroWest, South Shore and North Shore, coatings of snow by tomorrow morning are hit or miss from town to town thanks to the scattered nature of these snow showers.  However, it's more likely that a coating to an inch of snow greet many areas across the Cape and  Islands and Buzzards Bay by early Sunday, thanks to more more moisture there with a southwest wind off the water.

Light snow tomorrow takes a break for many areas mid morning, into the early afternoon, only to see another tick up in snow shower activity mid afternoon into the night.  The steadiest snow once again is across the Cape and Islands with a total of 1-3" falling there.  Coastal Plymouth County from Marshfield on south, back into southern Bristol County, pick up 1-2" totals by early Monday AM, with a general coating to an inch for the rest of us.  The bottom line is, the big ocean storm gets it's act together too late to give us a big snowstorm, but there will occasionally be slippery spots starting tonight, through tomorrow night.

The rest of the week looks uneventful and cool with a few flurries Wednesday, and perhaps a batch of snow,mix and rain on Friday.  Plenty of time to watch that one.

Feet First

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.
