Second Round

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Did yesterday's big snowstorm out in Worcester county have you feeling a little empty? Want to get into the action? Maybe get your fair share of white?

Fine, we'll oblige.

The next storm up isn't like yesterdays. Not a nor'easter, not a 2-3" rain maker either. Instead, we have light snow event that becomes a little fiesty tomorrow evening across Southeast Mass. At play: cold air (just enough for snow, but not enough for a huge fluffy-factor), a storm track just south of Long Island, the Vineyard and Nantucket and a coastal front.

A coastal what?

A coastal front. A boundary between near 40 on Cape Cod and the 20s in Worcester. That is an added feature that will juice up the storm and essentially make it snow harder between 8pm and midnight.

So, without further bandwith...here's the timeline:

Startup 11am-1pm. As snow for most, but rain Taunton, New Bedford, Middleboro, Cape Cod.

Rain turns to snow in above mentioned areas, but stays as rain east of Rt. 3 (Plymouth to Scituate-like).

Snow becomes heavy south of Brockton, Foxboro and all  way to Canal by 8pm to midnight. Light snow elsewhere.

Change to snow late on Cape Cod, then exits after midnight.

Done.

Cold to follow for Pats game. Keep it real....

...warm.

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.
