No Cold?....No Snow.

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

We're still in a stormy pattern and it's time to start chatting about our next storm---heading this way for Wednesday. It will be mainly rain as there is no arctic air to be found in southern new England (kind of important if you want a snowstorm.) There will be a burst of some wet snow for a few hours at the start of the storm (5am Wednesday) but plan on using umbrellas over shovels & plows.

Before that happens, we have a day that will offer mainly cloudy skies and seasonably mild temps---mid 40s. The other great thing about today---little to no wind. We'll hold into the dry conditions well into the evening hours with temps settling back into the upper 30s.

Ok---back to that storm. Wednesday is a stormy day--just not snow. Look for the precipitation to arrive around 5am Wednesday & be with us for about 12 hours---tapering off 5-6pm. Most towns will pick up between 1-2" of rain and that rain will come with wind along the coastline, gusting at times between 20-30mph. In terms of snowfall before the rain---primarily confined to the Worcester Hills and the highest elevations at that. (our *special* map in the maps section details how much snow falls before changing to rain).

This storm gets rather clingy---sticking with us for Thursday & even Friday, albeit in a much weaker state. Each of those days will offer cloudy skies and a scattering of rain showers. Those rain showers will mix with wet snow showers on Friday. Drier & brighter weather slides into New England just in time for the weekend--breaking the pattern of weekend storms. Yay.

Have a great day!

This Is How It Starts? Really?

Posted by Chris Lambert

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees.  So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right?  Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in. 

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.
