What A Difference
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Sheesh.....70s yesterday with abundant sunshine and now we are staring at 50s with rain developing....what a difference a day makes. The reason is a strong cold front that blasted its way through here last night (with thunderstorms mind you) and now has left a bag of chilly air behind.
The other thing about this cold front is that it has stalled just offshore & will hang out along the east coast for the next several days. This front will act like a highway for cars to travel along. The *cars* are storms and the first of a few is on the way as I blog. Clouds are already here and the raindrops are a few hours behind. that means you have a few dry hours this morning into the early afternoon but plan on raindrops--scattered at first---anytime after 3pm and into the evening. So yes, bring the rain-gear to Gillette today. It will serve you well.
This storm is a quick-mover and will peel out of here after midnight. Good as we can salvage the end of the holiday weekend with a mix of sun & clouds on Monday. Temps will be seasonably cool with afternoon temps near 60.
By Tuesday, another car---err--storm arrives with a fresh batch of clouds & rain scattered throughout the day. Cool weather continues.
Have a great Sunday.
Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!
More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.
Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.
