Just Lovely

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Decent little snowstorm for the Cape/Islands last night with many towns picking up between 2-4" of snow. Once you step off the Cape, the totals really come down fast with a coating in Plymouth-Taunton to nothing at all from Stow to Boston & points north. This storm is a fast mover--already out by the Georges Bank and this means a lovely winter day in store with partly to mostly sunny skies. Temps will reach the mid 40s with little to no wind.

We get to hold onto the mild weather this evening & overnight thanks to a batch of clouds sliding into New England. If tonight is date night, plan on temps starting near 40 then settling into the low 30s by midnight. Dry weather is expected despite all the clouds.

Friday will start with that same batch of clouds but sunshine will find holes in those clouds to allow for at least a partly sunny sky. Even with partial sunshine, temps make a nice run well up into the 40s by afternoon. Melting more of #Nemo's snow--in fact, since Monday morning most towns have already lost over half of the snow from the storm---a testament to that strengthening February sun.

As we work into the weekend, an arctic front will blast into New England during the day. This will result in a snowy Saturday for all of southern New England. It won't be a blizzard but plan on snow from about 7am Saturday until 3pm. In terms of snowfall potential, many towns will pick up 2-3" of snow by 3pm Saturday.  We can handle that. Blustery & cold weather for Sunday.

More Warmth

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.
