On The Move
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
After a solid week of cold here in New England (Boston's longest sub-32 degree stretch since 2005) we can finally talk about some warmer weather...eventually. Today will be the day we move the arctic air out of here and the result will be some weather. Just clouds this morning but as we work into the afternoon, snow will start to fly (2-3pm) and continue up until 8pm. Even though the burst of snow will be brief it will occur during the evening commute. Here's how much snow I'm thinking:
Needless to say roads, sidewalks & driveways will be slick anytime after 4pm right into the overnight hours. For the overnight hours, not much precipitation but there will be some pockets of coastal drizzle & freezing drizzle well inland. Temps hold in the low 30s tonight.
Tuesday is a bleh day with cloudy skies throughout but no rain or snow. Temps will be our warmest in over a week with afternoon highs in the upper 30s. That will feel quite mild after last week. Wednesday will be downright warm---like near record warmth with many tows reaching the upper 50s by afternoon (record high is 63). The hitch is there won't be any sun and as we move from day to night on Wednesday, plan on showers, downpours & even a few rumbles of thunder! That is all due to a cold front that will send us back to reality by Thursday & beyond.
Have a great week!

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.

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.
