Positive Looking Forecast
Posted by Chris Lambert
For the first time in two weeks, I don't have a hurricane or a major nor'easter in the forecast! Whew... we deserve a much needed break. The reason for a quiet week is thanks to a return to a +NAO(positive North Atlantic Oscillation). As that indexed pressure pattern goes from negative to positive, the atmospheric "block", that has driven storms up the East Coast, breaks down, and we return to milder and quieter weather for a week. The only rain I have on the 7-day forecast is with a cool front on Tuesday as showers come through.
It's not to say you can't get storms in a +NAO, it's just that the chances of one are lower. Last winter, the NAO was in the + phase a lot. Two winters ago? You guessed it... in the - phase a lot.
Ok, enough technical stuff... just give you the forecast right?
More sun than clouds today, breezy, temps near 50. More clouds than sun tomorrow with lighter winds. Near 50 again. Early clouds Sunday break for sun, near 60 in the afternoon, including a 58 degree kickoff temps for the Pats vs Bills game. Great tailgating weather overall. We'll continue to see nice weather on Veteran's Day with highs in the mid to upper 60s! No snow left after this stretch.
Enjoy the weekend.
What A Day

The last day of spring will be fantastic! What a way to close the books on the vernal season. As our weather producer, Jim Colman says...."what a season it was..rain, snow, wind, sun and more rain" Truth Jim, truth. Only sun today with afternoon temps in the upper 70s--a great day for all outdoor activities.
Just In Time

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:
