Broom At Worst

Posted by Chris Lambert

A few flakes are falling this morning, mainly north and west of Boston, and in some cases, even dropping a dusting of snow.  The snow won't amount to much, and if the steps in front of the house get covered, a broom out to take care of it.  If you're not into sweeping this morning, just wait until midday.  Warm enough temps melt the snow away. 

Most of us south of Route 2 and inside 495, won't even pick up a dusting.  However, a few flakes are still possible.  As temperatures warm to near 40, a passing snow showers turns to a passing light rain shower this afternoon.  About 40% of us get hit, but even if you're in the 40%, most of the day is dry.

A passing rain or snow shower still possible Monday before dry weather prevails Tuesday.  At that point, we turn our eyes to the south for Wed and Thur.  A mid-Atlantic storm cranks up Wednesday and Thursday, but it remains to be seen how much of an impact we'll see.  I'd bet on lots of clouds, an occasional rain or snow shower, and a strong east to northeast wind both days.  Right now, the brunt of the storm looks to slide just south of us, but it's still worth tracking at this point.   At least we'll see an impact of high winds and rough seas along the coast, especially across the Cape/Islands. 

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!
