January, Why So Cold?!
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
The post holiday blues may be setting in--happens every year and it's no different this year. I blame the weather---too darn cold. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love winter and snow but days like the next couple are clunkers. You know, or will soon remember, as we have cold conditions all day long and a feisty breeze adding insult to injury.
Temps this morning are running in the lower teens & single numbers and despite a fair amount of sunshine on the way, we'll only see afternoon high temps reach the mid 20s (wind chills in the mid teens). What makes it even worse is while we are plowing through our work & school days a reinforcement of cold, arctic air will surge into New England tonight. Look for overnight lows to go even lower on Thursday morning than where we are this morning with many towns into the single numbers. Thursday itself offers more sunshine but also cold weather from start to finish with most towns only flirting with the mid 20s by afternoon.
The good news with all this cold, arctic air is that it will push the storm track deep into the south for the next several days keeping storminess out of New England right through the upcoming weekend.
Good luck getting back to the grind today!
Peace.

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.

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.
