Snow Will Go
Posted by Pete Bouchard
Well, this is it: the 1st snow event of the season for the evening commute. Not a barn-burner, but it's slow and slushy out there. Waves of snow are coming through the Commonwealth with this system, so we get a break from time to time. Nonetheless, here's the end result:
Already getting reports from our spotters via email and Twitter of the mix working in through Metrowest. This will act to make it more slippery (no-brainer there) and cut down on amounts. Nice tidy snow event tonight, so we're confident the snow/mix will taper after midnight. The morning commute is much better, but wheel spray may still be an issue as the snow begins to melt.
Melt? What? No deep-freeze coming?
Hahaha! Hardly! In fact, this is warm front, and as its name implies, temperatures will warm up in the wake of the snow. We're talking spring-like stuff here folks. Highs will break freezing tomorrow, but Wednesday is the day we'll soar on a gusty southwest wind. With a lil' help from el Sol, we might even hit 60 in the city on Wednesday! That's how mild the airmass will be.
As the front crosses on Wednesday night, there might even be some rumbles of thunder as the mild air is supplanted by a cold rush of air. Still, I think highs on Thursday will be a respectable 40+ as the air will take time to settle in.
Colder for the finish to the workweek, but there may be some more snow lurking around the corner on Sunday. Stay with us.

What A Day

The last day of spring will be fantastic! What a way to close the books on the vernal season. As our weather producer, Jim Colman says...."what a season it was..rain, snow, wind, sun and more rain" Truth Jim, truth. Only sun today with afternoon temps in the upper 70s--a great day for all outdoor activities.

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:
