Relentless

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

I knew this would happen. If you start slow with winter, eventually it catches up with you. That's certainly happening this year as we track yet another snowstorm heading this way. This will  be a pretty straight-forward snowstorm---ie---no stalled nature of the storm, no fire hose of moisture aimed at New England and for coastal residents, and an eventual changeover to rain.

First off, a cold January-like day with sunshine giving way to clouds and high temps only reaching the lower 30s by afternoon. No wind though--huge when it's so cold outside. The dry weather will last into the early evening hours. I think the first flakes will fly between 11pm-1am across the region.

Tuesday will be a stormy day across the region with snow for just about everyone during the morning rush and mix of snow, sleet & rain along the coast by mid morning and just plain rain for the immediate coast by noon. It will stay in the form of all snow for the I-495/ Rt2 region. Our *special* map in the maps section will show just how much for your area. The storm will be with us for the day, not tapering off until mid evening.

Usually, March snowstorms pass through and we get back into the sunshine with 50 degree temps in sight. Not this year. Blocking area of high pressure up in north central Canada keeps us in winter mode here in the northeast for the rest of the week with daytime temps only in the 30s & overnight lows in the teens/20s.

Red Sox open the season 2 weeks from today in New York. Spring is coming one way or another.

Just In Time

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

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.
