A Tease...
We saw something we hadn't seen in a while...rain...and even though it came down heavily for a few minutes it didn't amount to much. The heaviest amounts fell in SE Mass...about .25 inches...most saw just a few hundredths of an inch...simply not enough. We will see a little more over the coming days but at this time heavy rain continues to elude us. An area of low pressure will swirl over New England later tonight and as it goes by it will switch our wind into the NE. This will trap cloud cover in the lower levels and chill the temps down into the 40s making tomorrow a damp, raw day. There will also be a few passing showers and areas of drizzle especially near the coast as moisture gets wrapped back around the storm center. The storm will be pulling away during the afternoon and drier air will start to clear the clouds from west to east...so temps will make the lower 50s in Central MA and SW NH.
Friday will be bright and sunny just breezy on the backside of the strengthening storm in the Atlantic. Another storm system will work to the East Coast over the weekend but like many others this season it too looks like a tease, keeping most of the heavier rainfall to our south on Saturday. So for now, the weekend looks mainly dry with temps climbing from around 50 on Saturday to the middle 50s on Sunday with brighter sunshine.
