Groundhog Day
Posted by Chris Lambert
"Did you want to talk about the weather, or were you just making chit chat?" Sorry.... had to do it on this Groundhog day, trying to channel my best Phil Connors.
Whether our furry friend sees his shadow or not, we have some winter weather to deal with over the next 7-days, mainly in the form of cold weather. We'll throw in a few chances of snow, but no back-breaking shoveling.
The first bout of snow works in after midnight tonight as light WSW winds produce some ocean enhanced/effect snow near Buzzards Bay and the Cape and Islands. The rest of us just see spotty flurries and snow showers. Tomorrow morning is mainly dry, but as an ocean storm to our south gathers steam, we'll have a decent shot of some light snow redeveloping. Most locations by tomorrow evening pick up a coating to and inch, but a few spots near the coast, especially south of Boston, could pick up a couple inches. If it doesn't sound like a big storm, it's because it isn't. Easy cleanup on this one as the storm strengthens too late to bring us a heavy dose of snow. For Downeast Maine, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, it could be a different story.
The cold weather continues next week, not record breaking, but several degrees below the average. A few snow showers slide in Wednesday, and perhaps a batch of light to moderate snow on Friday, but still, no Nor'easters to contend with, so many shovels remain in resting position much of the week.
Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.
We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain. Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad. Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year. In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day. That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board. Not bad being average this time of year, huh?
Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, and to my dad as well. So what's on tap for the day? Golf, grilling, just hanging out? Whatever it is, all and all, it's still a pretty good day for dad weather-wise. I wish I could say the Father's Day forecast exactly repeats Saturday, but we do have a few late afternoon showers to track.
