Snowbanks & Puddles

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

No new snow, sleet or eve rain today. Yay. The next two days offer some quiet weather as well as mild weather with temps today and again on Wednesday reaching the low & mid 40s. Shrinking snowbanks & growing puddles. The only knock on today is that dang wind as many towns will have gusty conditions for much of the day, robbing that warm feel to the air. All in all, decent winter day in store. Tomorrow is similar but less wind.

We have another storm heading up the east coast late Wednesday night & early Thursday morning. It will not be a blizzard and if you live north of the MA Pike you can actually skip ahead a paragraph. The storm will scoot south of New England making its closest pass in the early morning hours of Thursday. Snow will fall lightly from metro Boston out toward Worcester (as well as points south) very early Thursday morning. The snow will be a little steadier toward Buzzards Bay-Cape-Islands for the storm. It's also a quick moving storm so look for the last flakes to fly by 9am Thursday morning. In terms of accumulations, coating-2" along & south of MA Pike and 2-4" toward the canal with a little more likely out on Cape Cod. The *special* map in our maps section has greater detail.

Quiet weather resumes from midday Thursday into the start of the weekend. There is a renewed risk of another snowstorm late in the weekend. As of now the storm looks to stay just offshore to bother us but the storm will form, it's just a matter of just how close to the coast. We'll have a much better handle on that by Thursday.

Ciao for now

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!

Although my forecast was busted today, there was one good thing that came out of it.

Stability.

That gray overcast that hung over the eastern half of the Commonwealth provided a stablizing influence to our atmosphere. The cool air blowing in from the ocean kept the temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s all the way back to Metrowest. While that makes for lousy short-and-t-shirt weather, it is poison to thunderstorms.
