Rolling Along

Meh. That's today's weather message--a day that is just kind of...there. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent winter day staring you in the face with partly sunny skies and seasonal temps--low 40s. More melting. those clouds that you see are tied to another storm that is trying its best to put frowns on our faces. It won't succeed.
The reason being is for high pressure here in New England that will be slow to budge and that will force the storm to find another way---a path much farther south than the Blizzard took. Yay. With that said, some patchy light snow/flurries will arrive around 11pm tonight along 7 especially south of the MA Pike & linger for the rest of the night. A coating at most in the metro to perhaps as much as 2" out on Cape Cod (check out the *special* map in our maps section). Couple of slick spots likely on the South Shore late tonight & early tomorrow morning.
After 8am tomorrow, skies clear from this "storm" and we see another decent winter day with afternoon temps in the low 40s. One might even say....just lovely tomorrow. Friday will be a fun day as we see temps go to work and reach the upper 40s by afternoon with a mix of sun & clouds. The weekend is looking dry at this time (no storm) and a cold blast heading in with Saturday temps in the upper 30s but high temps on Sunday only in the upper 20s!

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.
Unsettling

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!

Although my forecast was busted today, there was one good thing that came out of it.
Stability.
That gray overcast that hung over the eastern half of the Commonwealth provided a stablizing influence to our atmosphere. The cool air blowing in from the ocean kept the temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s all the way back to Metrowest. While that makes for lousy short-and-t-shirt weather, it is poison to thunderstorms.
Wild & Wacky

Wild temperatures yesterday---from the 80s down into the low 60s in just an hour AND some heavy duty thunderstorms. The reason was a cool front that dropped in from Maine. That front is in western New England this morning and it's a chameleon as it will become a warm front and try to warm things back up during the day.
