Deja Vu

Posted by Chris Lambert

There's not a whole lot to say about this current pattern we're stuck in.  Each day seems to feature near seasonable temps, lots of clouds, occasional breaks of sun, and once and a while a snow shower or sprinkle.  A few of these snow showers linger overnight, but other than a coating of snow outside 495 in some spots, don't expect much out of them.  There's not a lot of moisture for the atmosphere to work with.

Monday features more of the same as any passing shower or snow shower is brief compared to the dry stretches we go through.  However, the northwest breeze does pick up a bit.

The main show this week is the coastal storm that gets cranking across the mid-Atlantic by Wednesday.  East to northeast winds pick up here, and with some low level moisture in place, a few pockets of light rain/drizzle and inland flurries may appear.  Expect a cold and breezy day overall with cloudy skies. 

Wednesday night and Thursday would be the time frame we really need to watch.  The question becomes... is the area of high pressure to our north, strong enough to prevent this coastal storm from coming up to New England?  Right now, it appears that the main area of low pressure stay just far enough south of us, that we avoid a direct blow from this storm.  However, it's close enough that I expect rain and snow showers to be with us, as well as a strong east to northeast wind overnight Wednesday and into Thursday. 

For what it's worth, I still won't rule out a farther north track with this storm.  If that were the case, more significant wind, rain and snow would be an issue here. 

Lots to track the next few days.

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!
