Last Call on 50 Deg. Weather

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Well that about wraps our lil' stint in the 50s. Sun gave us another boost today, despite the fact the colder air was moving in overhead all afternoon.

We'll feel that in the days to come with a gusty wind and limited sun. I'm only expecting highs to bump 40 degrees each afternoon - just a tad below normal for this time of year.

Next storm up is on Saturday. I'm seeing a glancing shot of some very light snow by Saturday afternoon. The trend has been to scoot this farther and farther away over the last day and a half, and I would be surprised to see it keep slip-sliding away even more by tomorrow or Friday. The cold air is just too much for the storm to heave around, so instead it just goes around it.

Longer range, it's still unsettled. And with cold air locking down across the Northeast, our concerns revolve around the potential for snow. After Saturday, the next threat is Monday night and Tuesday. Already this storm has the markers for a changeover from snow to rain - with a caveat. The cold may be deep and stubborn, so before the changeover we might see ice. It's an ugly setup, but to the trained eye, a familiar one.

Over and out.

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.
