Easy Peasy

Party is over--for now anyway. That brief stint of 60s has come to an end just as we were getting used to it again and now the 40s have taken over the house. In fact, as I look over the tea leaves I can't find any temps that start with the number 6---barely a 5 as well.
So here we are back to the November chill and we'll own in for a few days. Skies will partially clear overnight and that will send temps into the low & mid 30s by early Wednesday morning. Wednesday itself is full of sunshine but that sun is only around for morale support with most cities/towns only crawling into
the mid 40s during the afternoon.
As for Thursday and Friday....read above paragraph. High pressure means more sunshine and temps still running below normal during the afternoon hours--near normal for morning lows.
As we look into the weekend, the dry weather continues but we will begin to slowly warm with many towns reaching the low 50s both Saturday and again on Sunday.

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.
