Unimpressed
Posted by Chris Lambert
Like McKayla Maroney with her arms crossed, the forecast models are unimpressed with this weak storm giving us a glancing blow Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night. We'll get a bit of light snow and flurry activity, mostly south of the Pike, but not much accumulation. Although a few spots in RI and interior Southeast Mass could collect an inch of snow, there shouldn't be too many headaches out there. Along the coastline of Southeast Mass and through Buzzards Bay, the Cape and the Islands, an onshore component to the wind keeps the temps closer to the surface warm enough for rain drops to mix in.
The main theme as we go through the week will continue to be the colder than average weather pattern settling, and remaining in place into next weekend. It'll be a dry forecast Wednesday - Friday, with perhaps a few ocean-effect snow showers across the Cape on Friday, and a possible batch of snow or snow showers ahead of a warm front on Saturday.
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.
We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain. Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad. Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year. In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day. That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board. Not bad being average this time of year, huh?
Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, and to my dad as well. So what's on tap for the day? Golf, grilling, just hanging out? Whatever it is, all and all, it's still a pretty good day for dad weather-wise. I wish I could say the Father's Day forecast exactly repeats Saturday, but we do have a few late afternoon showers to track.
