Day 7
Posted by Chris Lambert
This cold from Canada has had some staying power eh? In Boston, we slid below the freezing mark late in the evening last Sunday, and haven't come back above it since. In fact, as temps fail to crack the 32 degree mark again today, we'll mark the 7th day in a row of sub-freezing weather.
Tomorrow may be the eighth, but it'll be close as a warm front slowly increases our temps in the late afternoon and evening. In addition, that warm front also triggers a batch of light to moderate snow to break out. Start time on the snow is between 2-5PM, with the earlier arrival in that range outside 495. That snow will be just in time for the evening commute, and certainly has the potential to slow things down.
Don't expect a ton of snow, but a general 1-3" falls through the evening. Southern Bristol, southern Plymouth and the Cape/Islands will be at the lower end of the snow range, if not under it, thanks to warming temps changing snow over to sleet and drizzle fairly quick. The highest totals show up in northern Mass and Southern NH. In the city of Boston, 1-2" seems to be a good fit for a range.
The snow changes to sleet and freezing drizzle late in the evening for the rest of us, creating an icy glaze on top of the fresh inch or two of snow (close to the coast, snow goes to plain ole drizzle). As warm air finally wins the battle, that freezing drizzle turns to plain drizzle by the AM commute on Tuesday.
Tuesday is kind of a blah day. Nothing special, lots of clouds, temps in the upper 30s.
Wednesday will be windy and warmer, isolated passing shower, temps in the mid 50s. Perhaps even near 60 in some sun breaks out? Steadier rain works in at night, before colder air ends the week.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Rain, rain, rain...
...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!
