Spooky Looking Night (Not Weather Related)
Posted by Chris Lambert
All the little ghosts and goblins are geared up for the big day, and I'm sure, excited for the chance to roll out their costume that they've been waiting to show off. Weather-wise we make out ok with a few scattered showers ending by mid afternoon, leaving a mostly cloudy, but dry late afternoon and evening. Trick or Treat temps run into the upper 50s around 5PM, falling back into the low 50s by 7PM.
The showers we pick up today, won't be nearly as heavy as the tropical downpours we dealt with yesterday morning and again last evening. In fact, looking at the radar last night, winds were near 70-80 mph just above the surface, and a piece of that may have come down to surface in a microburst across Wareham. The National Weather Service may visit, or at least examine some of the damage before confirming for sure.
All and all, the rest of this week turns out quiet with temps cooling off and skies remaining mainly rain-free. The next storm is a close call by Tuesday, plenty of time to track that. Enjoy the evening with the kids, and hopefully the clean-up process for you is going as well as it can!
Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.
Unsettling

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!

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.
