Stuck In A Moment

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

I touched on this subject last week, storms that can get stuck in one spot for several days (to be fair, high pressure can also get stuck for several days) during the early spring months.....see where I'm going with this? Yup, yet another day with a bunch of clouds, blustery wind and seasonably cool temperatures. It's the same storm that was here much of last week! It's much much weaker but it will be here one last day.

By tomorrow high pressure finally starts to move the storm out of here----only problem is that high pressure actually pushes more clouds into New England---OMG! Indeed, Tuesday will offer another cloudy day, blustery & chilly conditions. Don't curse that high pressure too much....it helps us out by Wednesday-Thursday.

In that time-frame, a powerful storm will be moving through the mid-Atlantic with heavy snow & rain as well as high winds. Normally, these storm like to take a left turn up the east coast but with that high pressure in northern New England not willing to move, the brunt of that midweek storm will get shoved to the south of us. Yay high pressure. We will see some effects though:

*Coastal wind Wednesday-Thursday. Wind gusts 35-45mph likely

*This wind (combined with the ocean) will hammer our beaches for a couple of days---minor coastal flooding is possible at the high tides on Thursday & again on Friday

*Cloudy skies with scattered rain & snow showers on both Wednesday & again on Thursday. At this time, I'm not worried about any accumulating snow from this storm. Stay tuned though!

Just In Time

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

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.
