No Weekend Washout
Posted by Pete Bouchard
Heard rumors of the weekend being a washout? Well hear me now and thank me later. It doesn't look half bad: showers move out tomorrow afternoon, and the sun returns on Sunday. How's that for making the season bright?
Faster-moving showers are to thank for the improvement. They're pretty lightweight tonight and tomorrow, and they just zip along a stalled warm front parked south of Long Island. Because this front doesn't come through until Monday, we're not expecting the temperatures to budge. Expect highs near 50 both tomorrow and Sunday.
When we do get on the other side of the warm front, look bout. With a gusty southwest wind, high temperatures (LATE Monday ((gotta give it time)) will be near 60 degrees! This warmth WILL stick around for the Pats game too, but I'm not expecting it to remain dry. Scattered showers will zip through Gillette (there will be a few dry hours too) on a gusty southwest wind.
Same ol', same 'ol, eh snow hounds? No flakes in sight, no deep cold air, no sign of a pattern cha...
...wait, there is. Still thinking that the middle of the month we'll see a change to a colder pattern. While we won't be sub-zero, we will be cold enough to keep these storms snowy. And there are already some prospects for white in the 7-10 day forecast:
Tuesday as a storm pulls away some cold may shoot in to change the rain to snow as it ends.
Next Saturday there might be a more significant storm cruising through New England (very tenative...but I'm sayin' "there's a chance".)
Make it a good weekend!

Right into summer. Warm & humid weather expected for much of the week. Good?.....Well, keep in mind that warmth & humidity are the 2 key ingredients for thunderstorms. The last being something to *lift* that warm/humid air. Usually a front is a good device to do such that. Today, we will have a cool front approach New England very late in the day & evening. That may lead to an isolated storm or two after 4pm but most towns just have a fair amount of clouds, warmth & humidity. Temps will climb to near 80 by afternoon.
Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east. Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity. It'll also be unsettled at times.

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds. As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening. Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening. Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers. These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70. Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.
