Steady As She Goes
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Steady as she goes. High pressure has taken quite the liking to New England as he will spend another day with us. That means the weather message changes little. Sunny skies in store with seasonably cool temps--afternoon highs near 50. The only difference will be the wind as I think a breeze kicks in, especially along the coast during the afternoon. Great for finishing up yardwork, stringing up Christmas lights or heading down to Gillette for the Pats-Colts game later today.
Moving forward, we see little if any weather issues for several days---great news for all the Holiday travel in store. High pressure sticks with us for much of the week so plan on sunny skies (a few more clouds by Wednesday & Turkey Day) and a slow warming trend as we step closer to Thursday.
Our next storm is likely on Saturday & even that is only in the academic sense---yes, low pressure is around with some clouds but only a few rain & wet snow showers are expected at this point.
Have a great week!

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:
Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.
Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
