Easy Like Sunday Morning

Posted by Chris Lambert

A fresh dusting of snow to greet us on this Sunday morning, but clean-up is about as easy as it gets.  Sweep off the steps, perhaps throw a little salt and sand down, and for many of us, that's it for this event.  When I say "many of us", that's pointed toward you folks living west of Boston, west of Rt. 24 south of the city, and west of 93, North of Boston.  

Right along the coast, especially across SE Mass, the Cape and Islands, keep the salt, sand and broom on standby this afternoon and tonight.   As an ocean storm starts cranking up to our east, we'll find our coastline on the outer edges of it's snow.  Factor in a NNE wind that enhances a bit of that moisture, and that'll allow our coast to see patchy light snow.  The steadiest snow tonight falls across the Cape, allowing for 1-3".  At the coast, Cape Ann and the South Shore, another coating to an 1" should do it.

A chilly pattern stays over the next several days, but not much falls from the sky through Thursday, other than a few Wednesday snow showers.  Friday we will watch for a more significant storm to bring in snow/mix/rain.... too early now to pin down details though.

Enjoy your Sunday! 

Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.

Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!

More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.
