Shot in The Arm
Posted by Pete Bouchard
Gnarly round of storms this morning. Most of us were tagged by an inch of rain - or more in some isolated cases. Vivid lightning accompanied the storms too. What a show!!
Good thing we got a drink with the first round of storms, because when round two came through, there were maybe one or two storms that popped up. Little additional storms are likely tonight as the cooler end of this weather system shifts into our area.
Dewpoints are already dropping through the 50s as of this typing. I suspect that drier air tomorrow MAY even have you scrambling for a sweatshirt - or at least long-sleeve - as it mixes with a few scattered showers. Tomorrow may not be a washout, but it will feel cool and almost raw, at least for our 90+ June standards. Quite a shot in the arm.
It will take a few days to come out from under the persistent threat of showers. Tomorrow it's an all-day threat (with long dry pauses). Wednesday and Thursday it will convert to an afternoon threat, which I peg at about 40% each day.
By the end of the week, we'll be back to our old selves. 80s return - along with the muggy air.
Be well.

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....

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.

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!
