Football, Turkey, Football, Turkey, More Football
Posted by Chris Lambert
Not quite sure how the day's events play out at your house, but it's a pretty good bet that turkey and football are involved... several times throughout the day. Fortunately, shoveling and shivering in the cold is not on the list as sunshine warms us up into the lower 50s this afternoon and the breeze remains fairly light.
If that's not warm enough for you, tomorrow we'll top off in the middle 50s. So for all you die-hard shoppers, the weather won't slow you down, the crowds on the other hand, probably will.
Some changes are on the way over the weekend as a cold front crashes in Saturday. There won't be much moisture with this front, but I do expect a passing shower or two in the morning, and as the cold air pours in, maybe a passing flurry in the Worcester Hills and Monadnocks in the afternoon. Temps go from the upper 40s around midday to the upper 30s by late afternoon.
Sunday remains breezy with temps struggling to climb out of the 30s and nudge 40.
Monday is quiet as well, but the potential is there for some rain or rain/snow mix to move in Tuesday. Right now, the track remains uncertain, but it does appear enough warm air works in for all rain Tuesday night/Wednesday. We're 6-7days out, so plenty of time to fine tune this forecast.
Happy Thanksgiving and have a wonderful weekend with family and friends!

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.

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.
