Just Lovely
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Decent little snowstorm for the Cape/Islands last night with many towns picking up between 2-4" of snow. Once you step off the Cape, the totals really come down fast with a coating in Plymouth-Taunton to nothing at all from Stow to Boston & points north. This storm is a fast mover--already out by the Georges Bank and this means a lovely winter day in store with partly to mostly sunny skies. Temps will reach the mid 40s with little to no wind.
We get to hold onto the mild weather this evening & overnight thanks to a batch of clouds sliding into New England. If tonight is date night, plan on temps starting near 40 then settling into the low 30s by midnight. Dry weather is expected despite all the clouds.
Friday will start with that same batch of clouds but sunshine will find holes in those clouds to allow for at least a partly sunny sky. Even with partial sunshine, temps make a nice run well up into the 40s by afternoon. Melting more of #Nemo's snow--in fact, since Monday morning most towns have already lost over half of the snow from the storm---a testament to that strengthening February sun.
As we work into the weekend, an arctic front will blast into New England during the day. This will result in a snowy Saturday for all of southern New England. It won't be a blizzard but plan on snow from about 7am Saturday until 3pm. In terms of snowfall potential, many towns will pick up 2-3" of snow by 3pm Saturday. We can handle that. Blustery & cold weather for Sunday.

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!

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.
