Feel The Sting
Posted by Pete Bouchard
Cold takes hold tonight. The air that's over us has been festering over a thick snowpack across southeast Canada. The long winter night will do the rest:
Don't look for Mother Nature to give much back tomorrow, either. High temperatures will struggle to meet the mid 20s in most spots. With a light breeze around, the best we'll do for the afternoon for a "real-feel" temperature (better known as the wind chill) will be 15 degrees.
I'm not going to tell you to get used to it though. Tomorrow is the coldest, but it is also the last day we'll spend in the arctic air. Friday sees some moderation in the temperatures thanks to a change in wind direction and the arctic air in retreat.
More or less the same for the weekend. I was optimistic about bringing the numbers to 40 or better, but now I've backed off. Yes, the arctic air will peel back, but it's not looking like a temperature run up at this point.
That could change by the middle of next week. Weather maps are painting a MUCH milder scenario for the entire Eastern United States. It'll be hard to hold this one back.

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time. Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days. Mostly dry too!
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.
