Brief Cool Down Before Warm Air Returns

Just a brilliant day across New England. Near 100% of the sunshine will be out there to enjoy. Cool winds from the NW is steering in a more seasonably cool airmass for the next 48 hours. Highs today range from 41 in SNH to 46 degrees at the south coast. High pressure to our west is directing the air right in from Canada...so despite our increasing day lenght and temps already in the 30's this morning...temps will be fighting an uphill battle to climb today.

It's National Weather Persons Day...Hooray!

Cold high pressure in place this morning with light Northerly winds is supplying much colder stable dry air from Canada. Lows have started in the teens and lwr 20's. A deepening storm in the north Atlantic is directing the cold into New England and helping to steer any storms south of us for now. Super Bowl Sunday will feature 100% of the sunshine with seasonably cool temps with highs eventually climbing into the lwr-mid 30's. Southeast MA may see mid-upper 30's as winds shift to a warmer westerly direction

Arctic Air Retreats This Week

Cold high pressure sits over this morning with clear skies and frigid early morning temperatures Below zero in the northern valleys, single digits in the suburbs, and teens and 20's at the coast. Ocean effect clouds remain in place across SE MA. High pressure sits over us today providing calm conditions, but as it pulls off shore this afternoon, light east winds at the surface may begin to direct some of this low cloudiness in land. These low clouds may deposit a few flurries in spots this afternoon

Cold Begins To Pull Away Today...Only To Return Again

Big blue high pressure sitting over us is providing a calmer day with less of a wind chill factor. This high will be pulling off the coast and begin to wrap in warmer SW during the afternoon. This will allow temps to continue to rise through the day...but it will be a slow warming. In fact it will take the entire day of warming just to reach 32 degrees. But this will feel a whole lot better than yesterday! High clouds will continue to increase making for filtered sunshine this afternoon

Another Short-Lived Cold Shot....

Temps are starting off in the 20's this morning with a west wind, and will have a tough time going much further today. Highs will climb into the Lwr 30's by midday into the afternoon...even climb into the Mid 30's for the south coast to the Cape. Temps will hold in the 20's across NH. Sunshine this morning will give way to some increasing cloudiness as clouds from the N & W will be pushing towards the coastal plain along with an Arctic front. Temps are below zero this morning across the Canadian border. This is the airmass which will be over us for the next 24-48 hours.

Windswept Rainfall Tonight...Colder Air Returns...But For How Long?

Cool filtered sunshine this morning with increasing high altitude clouds will give way to mostly cloudy skies this afternoon and warming temperatures into the 40's. High pressure off the coast will wrap in warming SW winds...but the lack of sunshine will make it feel cooler. Keep a close eye on the radar today because we have quite a bit of rain just to our SW which is heading right to us for tonight. Clouds will thicken in advance of the rain this afternoon with showers arriving in western New England around sunset. Showers will be reaching the coast between 6-8 PM...

A Look At The Week Ahead...And A Glimpse Into 2012

Breezy NW winds will develop today as this low departs with cooler drier air on the move behind a cold front pushing off the coast. Winds will gust to 20 to 30 mph adding a chill to the air. Temps in the 30's this AM south will climb only into the Lwr 40's by the afternoon because of the cold air advection from Canada. Cooler 20's across the north will keep temps in the 30's. Skies are increasing with sunshine as high pressure builds behind the departing cold front.
