The Calm.....After The Storm
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Tricky storm indeed. Lynn picks up 1.8" of snow while 9 miles west, the city of Woburn gets 7.8" of snow. If you are a snow lover living along the waters edge, you may need to pack the bags & head west! Oh well, such is life. Our storm is pulling away but in the process of making way for an area of high pressure, it has created quite a bit of wind across the region. Many towns are experiencing wind gusts between 25-35mph and will have that kind of wind for much of the day. That means those daytime highs of 33, will actually feel like 15 when outside sledding, skiing or shoveling (That snow is heavy--go slow).
As we step closer to 2013, the last day of 2012 will offer more sunshine and still some wind--perhaps not quite as feisty. For New Years eve, dry conditions are expected with evening temps near 30 and overnight temps between 25-30. Wind chills will be from 18-25 for much of tomorrow night.
2013 starts how 2012 ends, clouds & sun with seasonably cold temps---mid 30s. Good day to chillax. Looking down the road, no big (or little) storms in sight--whew---just continued cold across the region with daytime highs in the 20s/30s & overnight lows in the teens.
Enjoy the day--bundle up!

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!
