Oh Hi Friday!
Fridays come up quickly when you're not here most of the week! Enjoy what you can of this summery, August day because the weekend is going to be a bit unsettled.
Today is mostly sunny through the morning with clouds moving in during the afternoon. There's an approaching cold front and out ahead of it winds will pick up from the southwest and highs will be close to 90° everywhere except the Cape and Islands. That southwest wind will keep those areas in the low to mid 80s. Showers and storms with the front will be isolated to western MA today, but some will push in overnight. They shouldn't be severe, but you could hear a few rumbles through the night.
The front stalls out to the southeast of Nantucket tomorrow, so scattered showers and storms are possible through the morning Saturday. We'll see some improvements Saturday afternoon, but it'll still be unsettled. Sunday will be dry for most of us, but a few isolated showers and clouds are still possible across the Cape and Islands.
Next week should be pretty nice most days with a mix of sun and clouds and comfortable highs in the lower 80s.
Have a wonderful weekend!

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!
