Let's Race!
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Off to the races! We have two weather systems that want a piece of us---a storm in Carolina with a messy mix of rain/snow and we also have an arctic front blasting its way out of Canada. The arctic front will win the race---but not today. Today is a mild day with afternoon temps reaching the low 40s. A breeze will mask some of that mild feel to the air at times. Look for a bunch of clouds as well---thanks to both of those weather systems.
OK----the Carolina storm, gets a shove into the Atlantic overnight thanks to that arctic front but I do think you folks out on the Cape/islands will still see some snow from this storm. Plan on 1-3" during the morning hours tomorrow out on Cape Cod (especially the outer cape). Elsewhere, it's all about the cold tomorrow---an all day cold as morning temps start in the teens & only climb into the 20s. #Brrrr
The weekend is up & down with Saturday offering some awesome weather for winter activities(skiing--sledding--skating) as temps will run in the low 40s with just a breeze & partly sunny skies. Sunday is decent early in the day but another arctic front will blast through here late in the day sending temps from the upper 30s into the upper 20s by evening (wind chills even lower). Temps for the Pats game will be chilly---layers, layers, layers.
Our pattern goes cold & quiet next week.

Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.
Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!
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.
