Times Are A Changing
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Thankfully, our pattern has changed to a quiet one for a few days including this weekend. I'd like to say the pattern is a warmer one but it features some cool weather around these parts.
Today will offer a batch of clouds for the start of the day but as we work into the afternoon, skies will change from grey to blue. Even though the afternoon offers a fair amount of sunshine, it's November sunshine and that sun this time of year is about as strong as a flashlight so temps will barely crack 50. Piling on will be a steady northwest breeze for much of the day keeping a chill in the air throughout.
Sunday is similar to today---only brighter. Partly to mostly sunny skies and a continued northwest breeze and temperatures will crawl into the upper 40s for afternoon highs. This northwest breeze goes for the entire weekend and actually draws even colder air into New England early next week with afternoon highs only in the 40s for Monday & Tuesday.
There are signs of a nor'easter by the Wed-Thu timeframe. This storm will not be a repeat of Sandy but plan on rain & wind during that time. More on that through the weekend.
Daylight Saving Time ends 2am Sunday morning, here's what that does to sunrise/sunset times this weekend:

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time. Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days. Mostly dry too!
That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:
Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.
