Kicking The Feet Up
Posted by Chris Lambert
It's nice to have quiet weather on the 7-day forecast, especially after a hurricane, a nor'easter and with the holidays coming up. Sure it'll be on the cool side, but that's not too unexpected by mid to late November.
Not that the weather is ever 100% easy, but for New Enland standards, this is about as close to kicking the feet up as a meteorogist can get. Just some day to day minor changes to deal with.
Today features quiet a bit of clouds this morning, although some of those mid to high level clouds thin a bit late this morning and into this afternoon. That'll allow for partly sunny skies. Although some low clouds could hang tough across the Cape and Islands. We'll also watch the potential of minor coastal flooding again a couple hours either side of the noon high tide, thanks to an astronomical high tide. Same locations that saw issue yesterday (Morrissey Blvd in Boston, Cohasset , Scituate).
More sunshine dominates over the weekend and even into next week. That ocean storm we've been tracking for next week, will develop, but will stay out to sea. By Thanksgiving, indications are that warmer air starts moving in along with the dry weather that continues.
Enjoy the weekend and go Pats!

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....
Come On Ride The Train

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.

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.
