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.

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

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!
