Hard Keeping Track

Posted by Pete Bouchard

We've been in a rapid-fire weather pattern over the past 4 days. Sun, clouds, showers, sun. Cool, mild, raw, dry. It's hard keeping track of what weather system is where. It's also for that very reason that the weather maps have been having a hard time pinning down the timing on these weather systems. Heck my last on-air forecast was Friday night, and I recall saying that Tuesday and Wednesday morning we will see frosts in the suburbs.

But I think we have it down now. The front coming through tonight will be one of two in the next two days. Both will have a good batch of cool air and some wind. As we're knee-deep in autumn, it's fitting.

First shot will be send in a uniform chill across Massachusetts by morning. 40s all the way to the Cape/Islands. Coupled with the wind, it will make you shudder. Thankfully, temps recover to the upper 50s by afternoon. Ditto Friday after another cool start. Only difference is that the showers will return for the first half of the day.

Finally, that frost I was promising for this Tue/Wed is slated for Saturday morning. Even in the city, we could fall to the upper 30s! Then it's another quick recovery to the mid/upper 60s by Sunday with a generous southwest wind.

Got all that? Enough temperature changes to give you a headache...

...or the flu.

Feet First

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.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.
