Easy Like Sunday Morning
Posted by Chris Lambert
A fresh dusting of snow to greet us on this Sunday morning, but clean-up is about as easy as it gets. Sweep off the steps, perhaps throw a little salt and sand down, and for many of us, that's it for this event. When I say "many of us", that's pointed toward you folks living west of Boston, west of Rt. 24 south of the city, and west of 93, North of Boston.
Right along the coast, especially across SE Mass, the Cape and Islands, keep the salt, sand and broom on standby this afternoon and tonight. As an ocean storm starts cranking up to our east, we'll find our coastline on the outer edges of it's snow. Factor in a NNE wind that enhances a bit of that moisture, and that'll allow our coast to see patchy light snow. The steadiest snow tonight falls across the Cape, allowing for 1-3". At the coast, Cape Ann and the South Shore, another coating to an 1" should do it.
A chilly pattern stays over the next several days, but not much falls from the sky through Thursday, other than a few Wednesday snow showers. Friday we will watch for a more significant storm to bring in snow/mix/rain.... too early now to pin down details though.
Enjoy your Sunday!

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:
Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.
