All Quiet On The New England Front
Posted by Chris Lambert
After a few weeks of up and down temperatures, a hurricane and a nor'easter, a quiet weather pattern has settled on it. We even lose the cloud cover we had yesterday and that means lots of bright skies this weekend (few clouds across the Cape at times).
It's a great weekend to prepare for what's coming up... Christmas lights stapled to the house, or wrapped around the trees included. Although, you still can wait a week or so before turning them on :-). Or if it's a big football weekend for you, college or pro, the tailgating weather gets a passing grade with sunshine, highs near 50. Kickoff temp at Gillette hovers around 45, then falls into the upper 30s during the game.
Over the next several days, temperatures don't change all that much either. Today, upper 40s, tomorrow near 50 and next week in the lower 50s. The big ocean storm that we've been tracking for next week, is still out in the ocean for the forecast. Maybe a bit of a breeze by Wednesday, but I'm still keeping the rain away, so no problems weather wise for travel. Mid 50s by Thanksgiving!
Enjoy the weekend!
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.

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!
