Send In The Clouds
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Sure felt like fall out there today. Even with all that sunshine I still felt cold--many towns struggled to reach the low 50s and Worcester didn't even reach 50 (49). Just as quick as the cold arrived, it's already heading back out of town as I blog.
Send in the clouds!!
Clouds are filling up the sky right now and they will hang with us for tonight and a good portion of tomorrow. These clouds are tied to a warm front though and it will deliver the goods. This front will also deliver showers early Sunday morning--especially along and north of the MA Pike but as we approach noontime those showers fade away and so will the chill. I think most towns will reach the mid 60s by Sunday afternoon as that warm front does its thing. The only thing about this warm-up is that it will be warm air moved into New England and that means wind. Quite a bit of wind actually as many towns see wind gusts between 20-30 mph, especially along the coast & hilly terrain. As for outdoor plans tomorrow, the afternoon hours will offer dry times.
If you are heading into town tomorrow morning for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk plan on some morning rain & temps in the upper 40s--we hope to see you there! (Pete will be broadcasting the weather live from the Hatch!)
Enjoy your Saturday evening.

Although my forecast was busted today, there was one good thing that came out of it.
Stability.
That gray overcast that hung over the eastern half of the Commonwealth provided a stablizing influence to our atmosphere. The cool air blowing in from the ocean kept the temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s all the way back to Metrowest. While that makes for lousy short-and-t-shirt weather, it is poison to thunderstorms.
Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.

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.
