In A Little While

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Have you noticed how quickly the snow is melting? Testament to the strengthening February sun. And while a small storm will kiss some parts of the Commonwealth with snow overnight, it's not going to delay the meltdown. 40s will rule the roost through Saturday.

Back to that snow 'event' tonight:

Kind of speaks for itself, eh? If you're weary of sweeping/scraping, then let the sun clean it up tomorrow. Most of the accumulation is over before dawn, with the exception of the Cape where it may still be flurrying.

Not a lot of cold behind this system, nor into the 1st half of the weekend. Highs will settle for the mid and upper 40s through Friday, then drop Saturday afternoon as the cold pours in. Sunday's highs will be a bone-chilling 34 or 35 in town. Just enough to crack freezing. (Hey, it's either that or a snowstorm...which will be forming offshore.)

Storms seem to be steering around us in the short term, but I'm not ready to let my guard down just yet. Old Man Winter may still have some tricks up his sleeve.

More Warmth

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

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.

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.
