Two-Parter

Posted by Pete Bouchard

First wave of precipitation is moving through as of this typing. Initially it grabs your attention as snow (some moderate), then a switchover to rain within a couple of hours. This was supposed to be our time to 'make hay' with the snow. As we've discovered, the southeast wind this afternoon boosted temps to the mid 30s, so even with the numbers slumping a little this evening, accumulations are minimal.

This is the sloppy part of the storm. Our rain/snow line will move up just north of Boston and Worcester and hover there for the night. South of that imaginary line, it should be rain. North it's snow - and possibly some sleet. All of it tapers by morning as the precipitation moves off to the east.

Then we get a brief morning lull with some intermittent snowshowers.

No later than mid morning the next phase of this storm system will engage. This will predominately be snow as the storm will be east and the colder air begins to shuffle in. (Harlem-style if you want.) Rest of the day and afternoon, light snow will take over.

When the dust settles, this is the end result:

Still some splashover at high tide along the coast tomorrow morning, but it won't be much. Winds aren't all that impressive either. Gusts could touch 30mph on the Cape/Islands tomorrow.

Another update late tonight.

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.

Unsettling

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!
