Copy & Paste

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

That phrase about the weather (Wait 5 minutes yada yada) won't work---and hasn't been since yesterday morning. In fact, I'm tempted to go into my blog yesterday and do the ol copy/paste for today's blog as there really isn't' anything new to blog about. We still have that same storm pinwheeling about the northeast with bags of clouds/sprinkles/flurries right now! Like yesterday, every so often we run the risk of seeing a few sprinkles and or flurries right through the upcoming weekend. Sunday morning might even have a burst of some patchy light snow (coating in spots). Otherwise, it's a decent weekend for travel, skiing, sledding or getting caught up on chores around the yard.

As we look into next week, the pattern remains quiet to start but there are signs of another powerful coastal storm passing close to New England during the Wednesday-Thursday timeframe. Nothing locked in just yet but don't take the plow off the truck or put away the snow blowers just yet.

Some good news before we part ways for the weekend, in February we picked up 71 minutes of daylight.....for the month of March we continue to brighten things up adding 86 more minutes of daylight this month! Ready for spring.

Have a great weekend!

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.

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