Time Is On Our Side
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Big fan of tonight. It's only an extra hour of sleep but hey--I lost that hour back in March and I want it back!
Daylight Saving Time ends 2am Sunday morning, here's what that does to sunrise/sunset times this weekend:
Also good to change the batteries in the smoke & CO detectors as well.
OK...onto the weather......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. As of this evening, Election Day will offer dry roads all day--no weather excuses! #Vote
There are signs of a nor'easter by the Wed-Thu timeframe. This storm will not be a repeat of Sandy but it will be a rather disruptive storm. Here are some early thoughts:
*Locally Heavy Rain----looks like 1-2" of rain
*Coastal Wind Concerns---winds will likely gust between 40-60mph along the south shore/cape/islands late Wednesday afternoon-evening. Winds will be much lighter inland with this storm.
*The threat for minor coastal flooding does exist at the time of high tide---tides are not astronomically high though.

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.

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
