Weak Lil' Systems

Posted by Pete Bouchard

We're in a cold pattern - that's the short story. The longer one would detail the small disturbances rippling through the jet stream and triggering light snow events over the next two days.

In short: we'll see a few flurries.

Like we've seen in the past few weeks, there isn't a lot to energize these storms-in-the-making, so we just see a few flakes, a coating here, maybe an inch there. Imagine where we could(a, woulda, shoulda) been if these things were strong and juicy.

In any event, here's what to expect with the off-and-on-snowshowers tomorrow (starting early and finishing late):

This is really the only weather system I see this week that has any potential for accumulation. As the winter goes, so goes this week.

But here's the footnote: some weather maps are showing the potential for a big, snowy storm on Friday. My initial thought on this is: show me the money. Haven't seen a storm like this all winter, so why now? I know what you're thinking though, "It only takes one." You're right, but I don't think this is the one. There isn't a lot of support for a big storm, and I think this particular model is a little spazzy. Right now, I just have a few flakes in the forecast (I know, that means we'll see a foot). We'll see how it pans out.

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.

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.
