Quiet Again...Better Enjoy it
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Decent little burst of rain last evening & overnight where most towns had .25" to .50" of rainfall and that system is now departing (heads up--some of that leftover water on sidewalks, side streets & parking lots may briefly freeze early this morning). That system is making way for drier, cooler air to return through the day. i do have to point out the wind, it will return today, gusting to 30 mph at times this afternoon.
Tomorrow & Friday are nice winter days offering ample sunshine and much less wind than we will see today. Some great weather on tap for skiing, sledding or tubing with the kids. Get after it.
The reason being, our stormy pattern rolls on and our next storm takes aim on New England for the upcoming weekend. At this time here's what I'm thinking:
*Certainly looks like a plowable snow for much of southern New England (You want a number don't you?----OK----6-12" seems like a good starting point).
*Timeline looks like the first flakes fly around 3pm Saturday---get heavy from 6pm Saturday until 6am Sunday before tapering off around 11am Sunday.
*Coastal flooding could be a concern for the 10am high tide on Sunday morning---the tide heights will not be as high as they were during the blizzard.
More on this storm as we step closer to the weekend! Enjoy your midweek.

Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies. Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?
Still Good

How about yesterday? The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th. Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive.
Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day? Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much? It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph. No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.

September 14th, 2012. That's the last time Boston had a high temp of 80 (81 that day)--nearly 8 months ago. That streak should end today as yesterday's much advertised warm front did its thing, leaving us with a nice warm bubble of air today. I think metro Boston reaches the low 80s under partly to mostly sunny skies. One reason for the warmth is it's leftover super heat from the Midwest and also a fiesty west wind 10-20mph keeping that chilly ocean air at bay. All in all, a great late spring/early summer day.
