Rain Is Back

Posted by Chris Lambert

It was nice to see some sun today, but the dry weather is quick to slide out as rain showers work in this evening.  For the most part, it will be an all rain event, however, there may be just enough cold air north of route 2 in Worcester County and in SW New Hampshire, that this storm starts as a brief mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.  Accumulations there would be under an inch, but a few slick spots are possible after midnight, into the pre-dawn hours.   For the rest of us... it's plain ole' rain.  Rain will be steady after midnight and continue to be heavy at times until about 7AM tomorrow.  The heaviest rain early tomorrow morning will be across the MA/NH border.

After the early morning steady rain, we'll get some dry stretches between scattered showers through the rest of the day and into the evening.  Temps jump up to near 60 for many in the Boston area, points south and rise into the 50s north of the city. Although, they'll hold in the 40s across southern NH, where the warm front has a tough time getting through. 

Heading to the Pats game?  Early tailgating weather is in the low 60s, and holding at least into the upper 50s through the game.  Dry stretches are possible during the tailgate and game time festivities, but I'd still prepare for scattered showers.  Most of the showers won't work through until midnight and there after as the actually cold front heads in.

Cooler and drier weather rules the rest of the week.

More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Feet First

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.
