A Fling With Spring

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

The next 3 days offer some spring-like weather with temps easily reaching the 50s by the afternoon. I'd like to say we've turned the page from winter mode to spring mode but the winter pattern will hold through the rest of March--occasionally offering some mild days here & there. Enjoy them when they appear.

The first is today with many towns reaching the low 50s by afternoon despite a lot of clouds around. No worries about rain out of those clouds, it's a day and at times a breezy day too. Not too shabby for a Monday. Cloudy skies are with us tonight & it stays mild with patchy fog forming as the snow continues to melt.

Tuesday offers even milder temps but also our next storm. It will be rain with those mild temps and I think the first drops arrive around 2-3pm (a bit later in Boston) and that rain lingers well into Tuesday night. It will be a brief shot of heavy rain with many towns picking up an inch of rain. Normally an inch of rain would lead to a yawn from me but with all that snow melting combined with that inch of rain plan on some minor street (and stream)  flooding tomorrow night.

That bag of rain is outta here on Wednesday but the mild temps are not as we flirt with 50 yet again. A breeze will add some chill to the air at times. Colder air will return to New England by Thursday & Friday as temps those days are below normal---30s/40s for afternoon highs.

This Is How It Starts? Really?

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees.  So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right?  Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in.

Rain, rain, rain...

...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.

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.
