What's A Little More Snow?!

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

That's correct, more snow heading this way. It's a tiny storm but many of you will see some patches of light snow & flurries by late morning as well as the afternoon. It's also a slow moving storm so we can hold onto the threat of flurries & snow showers overnight. forecasting snow amounts in these storms can be very tricky because it's like forecasting thunderstorms in the summer. We know the atmosphere can produce the thunderstorms---but knowing exactly where and how often those thunderstorms form is just not possible. the same will occur with the snow showers later today & tonight. If you check out the *special*map in our maps section you will see a snowfall forecast map for this evening & tonight. That's not intended to be treated like gospel but rather the idea of the randomness of the snowfall. For example, Lakeville may get 4" of snow by Friday morning while Wareham only receives a coating.

In any event, this storm will pull out of New England by early tomorrow morning and allow sunshine to go to work melting most if not all of the snow we get tonight. High temps tomorrow will reach the low 40s. The weekend offers similar weather---continued cold as temps stay pinned in the low to mid 40s but at least that sun will shine.

Enjoy your Thursday!

Come On Ride The Train

Posted by Pete Bouchard

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

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

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!

Saved by The Sea Breeze

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Although my forecast was busted today, there was one good thing that came out of it.

Stability.

That gray overcast that hung over the eastern half of the Commonwealth provided a stablizing influence to our atmosphere. The cool air blowing in from the ocean kept the temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s all the way back to Metrowest. While that makes for lousy short-and-t-shirt weather, it is poison to thunderstorms.

Wild & Wacky

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.
