A significant coastal storm for southern New England is in the forecast next week.
As we head into the weekend all eyes are on the Prairies of Canada where an abnormally cold arctic airmass has been building and is expanding across the border into the US.
A cold dome of high pressure is settling into New England at the moment...lots of bright sun but chilly temps in the lower 40s.
We started the day at 43 degrees and although we've had nothing but sunshine the temp is essentially the same and stands at 42...gusty winds are bringing in much colder air. High pressure will nose in leading to ample sunshine over the next few days with no storms for the rest of the workweek. That same high will settle over us later Wednesday allowing the wind to relax and temps to moderate. In fact, by Thursday we are back up near 50 with the milder air sticking around until Saturday.
If you were up early you know it was a little wild...downpours and gusty wind...but it's much quieter now as the first of two cold fronts has cleared the coast. The air behind the first front is dry and warm and this afternoon will be a sweet one with highs between 65-70 degrees but this Spring-like feel won't last much longer as the second cold front sweeps through temps will drop.
This is going to be one fine day! High pressure is strong and to our south...mild air is flowing in around it's periphery and temps will spike into the upper 50s and lower 60s today under mostly sunny skies. There will be some this cirrus clouds up there from time to time.
Act like a bear and hibernate until tomorrow...that's the easy way out. But if you are tough...and I know many of you are...today will have a Winter feel all day long. Yesterday's arctic front is south of us and the core of the cold is in place...today's highs only in the upper 30s but with the wind will feel like 20s.
Get ready, we may just be in for our first real taste of winter weather.
First off, a heart-felt thank you to all past, present and future veterans...I hope you enjoy this day.
For the first time this season Logan Airport registered a temp of 32 or below and many of the suburbs slipped into the 20s earlier this morning. Although we have unlimited sunshine today it isn't very effective...highs will only manage the middle 40s.
What a stunner yesterday was...highs in the 60s...today 20 degrees colder! A cold front is slipping through New England delivering the coldest air of the season. As it comes through, this morning will be mainly cloudy with some passing showers ( maybe a flurry) then the sun comes busting out for the afternoon but it will be ineffective with a gusty north wind.
Temps are on the rise out ahead of a powerful storm system which will march up to our west during the day tomorrow. As the wind increases today, temps will spike up to the lower 60s. Clouds are in the process of thickening and a few showers will be break out as the warmth arrives this evening. At least it will be mild for the trick-or-treaters. The front will close in tomorrow morning with a gusty line of showers and potential rumbles. The showers may be briefly heavy but the wind will be most noticeable...gusts could top 50 mph in elevated areas and along the South Coast. By the afternoon the front will be offshore and drier air will work in with partial sun breaking out...temps will be incredibly warm climbing into the mid 70s just a couple of degrees shy of a record.
Did you see them? Well, you had to look closely but several communities actually saw their first snowflakes of the season this morning as warmer air aloft interacted with chilly surface air and chilly raindrops along with wet snowflakes resulted. The weak system will slide out of here for the afternoon and skies will brighten up with temps climbing into the lower and middle 50s. There will be zero weather issues at Fenway for Game 6 of the World Series...just chilly temps...falling into the 40s by the end of the game.
A cold front is approaching from the NW right now...out ahead of it, winds are a bit gusty but temps will climb to a mild range of 55-60. Clouds will overspread the area late in the day but this frontal passage should stay dry and rain-free. The front will slide through tonight and temps will fall off to the coldest levels of the season...most spots will be in the 20s by morning.
Good Sunday morning! A band of rain along a cold front is working through this early morning...all wet weather associated with it will be out of here by 9AM and west winds will pick up behind it drying us out nicely for the day. Sunshine will be prevalent along with a few puffy clouds this afternoon, the breeze will be noticeable and temps respectable in the mid to upper 50s.
Enjoy the day folks...temps will climb into the middle and upper 60s, almost 10 degrees above normal. But this is it, as a cold front advances in from the west and sweeps through this evening and ushers in an abnormally chilly airmass. Along the front, a skinny line of showers is marching across the Northeast and may produce a few brief showers later today. Following the frontal passage, cold air will come pouring in and for the foreseeable future temps will hover around or slightly higher than 50 degrees...almost 10 degrees below normal.
A cold front is in the process of washing out across the area and the clouds associated with it will be clearing for sunshine. Without a strong push of cold air behind it temps will actually climb into the lower 70s...more than 10 degrees above normal levels! The clearing won't last long because at the tail end of the front, an area of low pressure has formed and more clouds and showers will work in from the SW later tonight. The low will provide more lift and better dynamics so showers are likely over night and some may be briefly heavy. The low will lift out early tomorrow morning and a murky start will transition into a bright and breezy afternoon with highs again around 70 degrees.
Frontal boundaries are having a very tough time getting through the Northeast...with high pressure locked in place and not much moving in the atmosphere these fronts tend to wash out instead of delivering a shot of cold air. The end result...mild temps and lots of clouds. Another front will work in early tomorrow morning but will also fizzle overhead...slight chance for a shower tomorrow morning followed by brightening and warm temps in the 70s tomorrow afternoon.
No complaints here...we continue to see temps near or slightly above the average and intervals of sunshine with very little rain...I see this trend through the weekend.
While we've been enjoying sunny, crisp October weather, the Mid-Atlantic is receiving wave after wave of rain and wind. A large storm is swirling off the Outer Banks and is in no hurry to move as it's cut-off from the steering currents in the upper atmosphere. The storm is now beginning to drift north and clouds and rain continue to get closer and closer. The clouds will thicken up today and combination of limited sun and onshore winds, it will feel pretty raw.
Between the wind, the downpours and the balmy air, yesterday and last night were pretty wild but the weather has quieted down following the passage of a cold front. Autumn air is now streaming back in...this has cooled us off but also lead to ample sunshine. After sunset, temps will drop fast tonight and will settle into the 30s for some communities tomorrow morning only to recover into the lower 60s tomorrow afternoon under mostly sunny skies. High clouds will begin working in from the south late in the day out ahead of a developing coastal storm.
It's been nearly two full weeks since our last rain drop but that all changes today. A warm front is migrating through the Northeast and the lift associated with, although weak, is generating showers. Clouds will increase this morning with rain showers not far behind. The showers will be scattered but may be briefly heavy and a few will fall around the Sox game this afternoon. The front won't move much over the weekend and we will be on the cooler side of it for the most part. That means a lot of clouds, cool temps in the mid 60s and perhaps a shower or two but the good news is that most of the weekend will be rain-free.
Welcome to the first day of August...errr October. We may be changing the page on the calendar but this fine stretch of weather knows no boundaries and lives on. Our one chance for a big soaking is drifting into the Canadian Maritimes right now...a miss. As it departs to the NE it will open the doors and let Summer-like warmth in for a few days. Highs will range from the 70s today to the 80s tomorrow to around 80 on Thursday. All days will feature plenty of sunshine.
Is this the best month ever or what...we've only had one day with measurable rain in the last two weeks! Heading into the weekend not much will change. High pressure is in charge and although we will have more clouds than sun today the weekend will be loaded up with sunshine and warmer temps in the lower to middle 70s.
Our one chance for substantial rain is disappearing and the dry stretch rolls on. High pressure will be in charge through the weekend with cool nights and seasonably mild days which will include ample sunshine. We'll also have onshore breezes which may throw clumps of clouds our way at times.
