Nice, But No Records
Posted by Chris Lambert
A sluggish Monday morning... seems like the stress levels that the Pats give me in the 4th quarter take a lot of energy out of me the next day. Anyone else think that? Hey, most importantly they won, I'll take it!
Anyway, what a great day at Gillette yesterday with sunshine, mild temps and a chance to honor our Vets. Again, a big THANK YOU to all that serve this country.
It is mid November but it won't feel anything like that today. Average high this time of year is 53, and we'll be pushing a good 12-15 degrees above that, yielding middle to upper 60s across the board as early fog lifts for hazy sun as temps warm up. The breeze picks up out of the south, at times, gusting past 20mph. Despite being warm, we're nowhere close to the records as Boston's record was set in 1909 at 76 and Worcester's, that same year at 73.
Enjoy the mild weather while it lasts.
Showers move in after midnight tonight, although most of them wait until tomorrow with a cool front working in. That front will drop temps back into the upper 40s by late afternoon, after starting the day near 60 first thing in the morning.
Upper 40s to near 50 is where we stay the rest of the week, into the weekend. But at least it's dry!

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.
