Snowbanks & Puddles
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
No new snow, sleet or eve rain today. Yay. The next two days offer some quiet weather as well as mild weather with temps today and again on Wednesday reaching the low & mid 40s. Shrinking snowbanks & growing puddles. The only knock on today is that dang wind as many towns will have gusty conditions for much of the day, robbing that warm feel to the air. All in all, decent winter day in store. Tomorrow is similar but less wind.
We have another storm heading up the east coast late Wednesday night & early Thursday morning. It will not be a blizzard and if you live north of the MA Pike you can actually skip ahead a paragraph. The storm will scoot south of New England making its closest pass in the early morning hours of Thursday. Snow will fall lightly from metro Boston out toward Worcester (as well as points south) very early Thursday morning. The snow will be a little steadier toward Buzzards Bay-Cape-Islands for the storm. It's also a quick moving storm so look for the last flakes to fly by 9am Thursday morning. In terms of accumulations, coating-2" along & south of MA Pike and 2-4" toward the canal with a little more likely out on Cape Cod. The *special* map in our maps section has greater detail.
Quiet weather resumes from midday Thursday into the start of the weekend. There is a renewed risk of another snowstorm late in the weekend. As of now the storm looks to stay just offshore to bother us but the storm will form, it's just a matter of just how close to the coast. We'll have a much better handle on that by Thursday.
Ciao for now

More Warmth

You have another warm & humid day with many towns repeating yesterday's weather. That means we start with clouds & fog for a bit before hazy sun gets going. That hazy sunshine will boost temps up into the low 80s by early to mid afternoon across much of the region. At the same time a cool front will begin dropping out of Maine (backdoor front) which will quickly send temps from the 70s/80s down into the 50s/60s by late afternoon & evening. Also, when this front rams into the warmth & humidity it will spark a few showers & thunderstorms during the afternoon.
Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

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.
