Change Things Up

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

The transition from late winter to early spring is under way....mud everywhere in my house (mostly my fault--always forget to take my shoes off---oopsie), rapidly increasing daylight (we've picked up 71 minutes of daylight since the first of the month) and perhaps most notably to a meteorologist are these big beastly storms that stall right over us. In *winter mode* after a monster storm the weather gets right into the sunshine for a few days (remember right after the blizzard how nice it was?) but in *spring mode*, these huge storms can get stuck and stall here in the northeast and that's what is on tap for us the next few days.

Thankfully, this storm will weaken as it stays put---much like a spinning top slowing down--so no worries about anymore heavy rain or powerful wind gusts. What you will have to worry about is Can I get by today without the rain gear? I'd say to have it on stand-by as there will be all sorts of clouds for the day and the risk of a few scattered showers----some of you get rain and other won't. Temps will reach the mid 40s without any wind----not too bad as we close the books on Meteorological Winter.

The first day of Meteorological Spring will be similar to today---still a storm close by and that means clouds. The storm will be even weaker tomorrow so some sunshine is likely & I think the chance of rain showers will be very low. Ironically, with a little sun around tomorrow our temps will be a smidge cooler with temps near 40. We can hold onto the dry weather in to the upcoming weekend. first time in a month, no storms! Yay.

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!
