Quiet Times Ahead

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Our little pesky storm from yesterday is getting its act together this morning, pummeling Nova Scotia with heavy snow and setting us up for a blustery day. There won't be any wind damage, just enough to add to the Monday blahs with wind chills in the teens & 20s for much of the day. That sun will shine bright though. Skies will be clear tonight and that wind begins to fade away after midnight.

Looking at the upcoming week, it's hard to find anything in the *significance* category as the jet stream will carry any potential storms to our south. That also means the cold will be bold with afternoon highs running in the low & mid 30s for much of the week. As we head toward Friday, there are some signs of  a storm approaching the east coast---it's strength isn't known at this point but something that bears watching for the snow lovers (as well as the snow haters).

Enjoy your day

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.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
