Quiet Again...Better Enjoy it

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Decent little burst of rain last evening & overnight where most towns had .25" to .50" of rainfall and that system is now departing (heads up--some of that leftover water on sidewalks, side streets & parking lots may briefly freeze early this morning). That system is making way for drier, cooler air to return through the day. i do have to point out the wind, it will return today, gusting to 30 mph at times this afternoon.

Tomorrow & Friday are nice winter days offering ample sunshine and much less wind than we will see today. Some great weather on tap for skiing, sledding or tubing with the kids. Get after it.

The reason being, our stormy pattern rolls on and our next storm takes aim on New England for the upcoming weekend. At this time here's what I'm thinking:

*Certainly looks like a plowable snow for much of southern New England (You want a number don't you?----OK----6-12" seems like a good starting point).

*Timeline looks like the first flakes fly around 3pm Saturday---get heavy from 6pm Saturday until 6am Sunday before tapering off around 11am Sunday.

*Coastal flooding could be a concern for the 10am high tide on Sunday morning---the tide heights will not be as high as they were during the blizzard.

More on this storm as we step closer to the weekend! Enjoy your midweek.

Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!

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.
