Fun While It Lasted

Posted by Chris Lambert

No bitter cold, no strong winds, nothing falling from the sky.  Tuesday turned out to be a dandy of a day until 4:00PM, then the rain moved in.  Hope you had the chance to enjoy what little time we had the nicer weather for. 

Temps made it into the middle to upper 40s, so yes, this one's all rain.  The exception to that will be across the Worcester Hills and SW New Hampshire.  That's where some wet snow mixes in close out the storm, but even there, I don't expect much of an issue. 

The rain is a quick hitter with a couple of tenths of an inch around Boston, and northwest.. Up to 0.50" south of the city, especially across southern Plymouth County, southern Bristol County, and the Cape/Islands.  That's where a few rumbles of thunder in heavier rains may be heard.  Rain is generally done by midnight.

Cold and windy for Wednesday and Thursday as winds gust 25-35mph.  Temps run in the low to mid 30s each afternoon, with wind chills around 20. 

Friday looks great. Near 40 with clouds and sun.

Something about a weekend storm?  Yeah, it's still in the forecast, but looks more of a Sunday issue than Saturday.  Confidence is growing that we'll deal with at least a plowable snow (at least a few inches).  Whether it turns out to be a bigger deal remains to be seen.  Also, the exact track will dictate if any rain mixes in at the coast, or across SE Mass.  We'll keep an eye on it, but it's still 5 days out.  Too early to commit to amounts.

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.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.
