Finishing Stages
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Alright, I guess we can still have powerhouse snowstorms in Boston--it's been 2 years since we had a snowstorm like this. In fact, the 21.8" of snow (as of 9am) puts this storm into the top 10---number 6 to be exact. here is a sampling of other storm:
Worcester 28.0"
Topsfield 20.0"
Belmont 27.0"
Natick 23.0"
Norwood 24.0"
Acushnet 12.5"
Plymouth 11.5"
Just like that it, this storm pushes our seasonal snow totals up near normal---and beyond for Worcester. The storm was also responsible for some incredible wind gusts. Check these out:
Hyannis 84mph
Nantucket 77mph
Barnstable 75mph
Scituate 68mph
Fall River 63mph
Brookline 58mph
Not bad for a storm named after a fish. #Nemo. Moving forward we see this storm slowly pull away during the afternoon taking the final snow band & strong, gusty winds with it. Cold though, as wind chills stay pinned down into the teens for much of the afternoon.
By Sunday, cabin fever will be in full force & the good news is you'll have a great winter day to bust out of those cabins. Brilliant sunshine & no wind for the entire day with afternoon temps in the 30s. An epic day for skiing, sledding or just playing in the backyard with the kiddos.
Monday it's back to work & school and also back to inclement weather as another storm moves in--relax----a weaker storm that starts as some light snow but actually ends as some light rain/freezing drizzle Monday evening. Sunshine is set to return Tuesday.

Rain, rain, rain...
...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

So....what would you like to hear first? The good news? Bad news? Let's start with the good news....
Come On Ride The Train

Heavy rain is on the move! All afternoon long it was stalled over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Heavy pulses of rain traveled over the same towns and cities - a process meteorologists call "training" - resulting in flash flooding in some counties to our west.

Another day where we have cool, ocean air battling warmer land air leading to a clash of air. That means clouds, drizzle, fog, humidity (frizzy hair) for much of the day. It's not a washout though. The highest chance of rain is this morning--until 9:30am and then later this afternoon (after 3pm). In between, you will see a lot of clouds but also some sunshine at times. Even limited sun will be able to shove temps well into the 70s. This warm & humid air is what will lead to another round of showers & t-storms later today. Some of the storms will be intense. Like the past two days the strongest storms will be in western New England. Only isolated showers/ thunderstorms are expected along the coastline later today. Sox game will have the risk of some showers but they should be able to play that game. Welcome back Tito!
