Even It Out

Posted by Chris Lambert

Temps were all over this place this afternoon.  At one point it was in the upper 30s across the Mass/NH border and in the lower 60s across parts of SE Mass, like New Bedford, who hit 61 degrees!   Obviously, the fog and cold air stuck near the surface was tough to scour out, and for many locations, a southerly breeze never developed.  

We'll track a few showers through the area tonight, mainly from 9:00PM-2:00AM, although a few sprinkles and clouds may linger into daybreak across the eastern part of the state.  With temperatures tonight generally holding in the 40s, there won't any icing issues.

Clouds early tomorrow break apart as skies become mostly sunny and temps run into the lower to middle 50s for all of us.  So temps overall, much more even versus the 20+ degree range we saw today.

Mild weather sticks around Tuesday with highs in the mid 50s to perhaps near 60 if enough sun can hold on. 

I don't see more rain until Wednesday morning, as a cold front sweeps in with showers.  Temps on Wednesday reach the low 50s late morning, then fall back into the low 40s by sunset.  That will set up a chilly night Wednesday night and Thursday.

More rain is possible by the second half of next weekend, and behind that storm, we may start to transition back to a colder pattern during the 2nd week of the month as the cold and warmth battle it out.  Indications are that the 2nd half of the month still could produce more cold than warmth. 

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:

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!
