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.

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.

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!
