Freezing Cold (Literally)
Posted by Chris Lambert
Coffee not doing the trick this morning? Walk out the door and have that cool breeze hit you in the face, that should wake you up! Despite the sunshine throughout the day, it'll feel cool thanks to an active westerly breeze as temps hover in the upper 50s. Overall, temps run about 4-8 degrees below average, not only today, but over the next few days.
In fact, the coldest air of the season moves in Friday night and early Saturday morning behind a cold front. That front will spark an isolated shower or sprinkle midday Friday, but the real story will be the plant killing hard freeze that's in store for many by Saturday morning. A freeze watch is posted for many of the suburbs around and outside Route 128 as temperatures likely fall into the upper 20s and low 30s. Even in Boston, upper 30s are possible with frost likely just outside the city for places like Newton or Watertown.
Sunshine dominates Saturday, and thanks to that sunshine, we'll warm back into the middle 50s after that frosty start. If you're looking for more warmth in the forecast, you'll find it over the second half of the weekend. You'll also find more clouds around Sunday morning and a passing shower early as a warm front lifts through. A breezy SW wind will promote more sun and more warmth by the afternoon.
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.
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.
