Slowly... But We Get There
Posted by Chris Lambert
I'll be honest, weather-wise, I've been looking forward to this day since Monday, knowing that the mid-week period would be dreary and knowing that warm weather really kicks in this afternoon. As Tom Petty knows... waiting is the hardest part, and we do have to wait a few more hours this morning as dense fog dampens the morning commute.
Once the sun does break out (mid morning), temps are off to the races and many of us top off this afternoon in the middle to upper 70s. That yields to a comfortable evening with temperatures falling back into the 55-60 range overnight. Some patchy fog could form late, but it won't be as widespread as what we're dealing with this morning.
Saturday starts off nice with some sunshine and a mild breeze. Thanks to that southwest breeze, we'll warm-up nicely, again into the middle 70s. However, in the afternoon, expect more clouds and a passing shower or two, with the best chance for rain the farther north and west you go.
Those scattered showers are with a cool front that slips just south of us on Sunday, and puts us on the cooler side of things. Unfortunately, a wave of low pressure runs along the front and produces rain for us Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening. Temps Sunday may near 60 by noon, but then they'll fall back into the lower to middle 50s in the afternoon as rain sets in. So how about the Pats game?... by kickoff, 54 and rain.
The rains out of here by Monday, and a breezy and cool day is in store with a mix of sun and clouds. As clouds melt away at night and winds go light, the set-up is there for a widespread frost overnight Monday/Tuesday AM.
Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.
Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies. Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?
Still Good

How about yesterday? The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th. Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive.
Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day? Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much? It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph. No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.
