Patiently Awaiting Takeoff
Posted by Chris Lambert
It's been quite the struggle temperature wise as all day long from Boston, north and west, as temps have stalled in the mid 20s to lower 30s. That fact that most towns remain below freezing and continue to see just a touch of light snow and freezing drizzle in the air, in enough to be cautious of slick spots out there on the roads. In fact, a winter weather advisory is in place tonight until 3:00AM Sunday for areas around route 128, points north and west. Heading out the door tonight, be careful of slick secondary roads and icy sidewalks/driveways in those areas.
Temps overnight will slowly rise, and by daybreak tomorrow, any leftover drizzle is just plain drizzle (not freezing) with temps running above freezing.
So what about the warm-up? Yes, it's still coming, in fact, the warm air pushing into the cold air in place is the reason for our snow and freezing drizzle issues we had today and tonight. Eventually the warm air completely scours out the cold and we'll be back into the 50s tomorrow as temperatures launch upward once a southerly breeze kicks in. A couple showers roll through overnight tomorrow and again Wednesday morning, otherwise the work-week coming up is storm free. Perhaps even close to 60 on Tuesday!
December overall does start off warm, but a return to colder and stormier weather may return after the first 7-10days.
What A Day

The last day of spring will be fantastic! What a way to close the books on the vernal season. As our weather producer, Jim Colman says...."what a season it was..rain, snow, wind, sun and more rain" Truth Jim, truth. Only sun today with afternoon temps in the upper 70s--a great day for all outdoor activities.

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time. Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days. Mostly dry too!
That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

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:
