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.

What A Day

The last day of spring will be fantastic! What a way to close the books on the vernal season. As our weather producer, Jim Colman says...."what a season it was..rain, snow, wind, sun and more rain" Truth Jim, truth. Only sun today with afternoon temps in the upper 70s--a great day for all outdoor activities.

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:
