Easy Peasy

Folks, this is a straight-forward weather blog.....dry & warm with mainly sunny skies. That's it for just about the entire week and it's likely going to be the nicest week of the summer. Not overly hot--bit warm for some and barely any humidity. The reason?.....Look to the jet stream:

During the other three seasons, when the jet stream looks like that it typically means cool to cold but this time of year it means....awesomeness. That jet stream configuration won't allow for any excessive heat or humidity in New England and without Thing 1 or Thing 2, it's pretty hard for showers & thunderstorms to form.

So....Monday through Friday will offer varying amounts of sunshine each day (Tuesday might be a day where clouds are even spilt against the sun) and daytime highs in the low to mid 80s & overnight lows in the 50s & 60s. Great for vacationers but not for flowers,shrubs,plants and grass---make sure they all get a drink of water this week!

By next weekend, a little more humidity will creep in here which will offer a chance of some showers on Saturday. Until then, enjoy!

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.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
