Hurry Up and Wait

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Snow has been flying most of the early morning out through Worcester county...although you'd be hard pressed to find big accumulations:

Lunenburg 3.5"

Fitchburg 3.0"

Worcester 2.0"

Meantime, the rain continues through Lawrence, down into the North Shore throughout Greater Boston and down to the South Shore. The changeover line is just outside of Framingham and Bedford, and it won't take much for it to come down into the city later this morning and early afternoon.

That said, it's too little too late for serious accumulation along the coast.

Why so little? We're fighting the lingering overnight warmth and temps will be a marginal 34-35 through the afternoon. In addition, there's not a whole lot of precipitation left in the storm. From here on out, the focus will be on a growing area of snow across the Seacoast of NH and Southern Maine. There, the snow will intensify, whereas the surrounding areas of northeast Mass and southern NH will be on the periphery.

Slow wrap to the snow this afternoon and evening. It's not in a hurry to leave...

...but I can't wait for this storm to go.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

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.

Storms, Heat, Sea Breezes

What a day! Breakneck temperature swings, thunder, tornadoes in Western Mass....and we're still in late May!

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.
