Cooling Off

Posted by Chris Lambert

A few days of 50+ degree weather and it's incredible to see how much snow has disappeared.  Leftover snow piles the next few days melt at a much slower pace as temperatures flirt with 40 degrees during the day and back below freezing at night.

While we won't have much sun throughout the day, we won't have much falling from the sky either.  An occasional sprinkle or flurry drops from the clouds today, but the overall theme is colder and windier.  The depths of the colder air filters in tonight, with temperatures falling into the teens in the burbs, lower 20s in the city.

We'll remain with more dry hours than wet/white through the weekend.  On Saturday, we track a weak clipper system just to our south, but this one doesn't have much moisture with it, and the trend has been weaker and farther south.  Bottom line, don't expect much out of it.  A couple of flurries/wet snow showers, that is all.

Luck of the Irish on Sunday as St. Patricks Day turns out with more sun than clouds.  We could do better temp-wise though with highs only near 40.

So what about the next "big" storm?  This one arrives Monday night and last through Tuesday.  As the track takes it over land, it'll drag in warmer air, meaning any snow/ice/mix turns to rain by Tuesday morning.  I could see a few inches of accumulation in the higher terrain outside 495, but even there, it should change to rain.  Mostly wet and not white is the theme in Boston.  We still have plenty of time to watch it and nail down the track.  Until then, have a good weekend!

Summ-ah!

Posted by Pete Bouchard

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Feet First

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Posted by Chris Lambert

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times.

Pulling The Fade

Posted by Chris Lambert

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.
