First Friday of February

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Wow---just like that it's February 1st. Winter is flying by and with days like yesterday it makes it go by faster. Today, it's back to reality with seasonably cold conditions. Daytime temps will hover near 33 but a gusty wind will make it feel like 23. That sun will share the sky with clouds for much of the day. Clear & cold weather tonight.

The weekend offers a continuation of cold but not bitter cold---just regular cold. Morning temps each day will be in the teens while afternoon highs reach the low 30s. Perhaps more importantly, much less wind on Saturday & Sunday---huge this time of year. We have sunshine tomorrow but on Sunday there will be a little storm that slides south of New England during the afternoon & evening hours. Once again, not a blockbuster but travel may get affected after 4pm Sunday--especially along the south shore (Rt 3)--and through Sunday evening. Snowfall totals look weak----1-3" with most of the snow confined to the coast.

Looking into next week, still no major snowstorms and no spring previews either as the jet stream will flow out of Canada and into the southeastern United States. That means seasonably cold weather for much of the week!

Best part of February is the amount of daylight we pick up--71 minutes!!

Have a great weekend!

Feet First

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.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.
