Hectic Times Ahead
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Let's face it, the Holidays can get pretty hectic and the last thing you need is some epic snowstorm to get in your way. Well..good news, you have a nice stretch of dry weather that will last into the start of the weekend. High pressure is moving into New England right now and will camp out for a few days. That means mainly sunny skies (there will be a few high, thin clouds out there today) and seasonal temps. Also with high pressure so close, little to no wind for the next couple of afternoons--that is HUGE this time of year when outside for any length of time.
While all this is going on, changes elsewhere are brewing....(insert dramatic music here)
The atmosphere will undergo changes that will greatly increase the chances of winter storms along the east coast. The first such chance will be on Sunday. As of now, it does not look like a big storm but it does look like a cold storm---so some patchy light snow/flurries appears likely on Sunday (all day) that will linger into the evening hours (including the Patriots game). This storm does have the potential to become a major storm with snow,sleet, freezing rain & rain. Too soon for rain/snow lines or how much in my town but use the next few days to find the shovels, test the snow-blowers and buy that first bag of sand/salt.
Later,

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:
Thunderous Start to Workweek
Posted by Pete Bouchard
Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!
We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain. Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad. Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year. In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day. That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board. Not bad being average this time of year, huh?
Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, and to my dad as well. So what's on tap for the day? Golf, grilling, just hanging out? Whatever it is, all and all, it's still a pretty good day for dad weather-wise. I wish I could say the Father's Day forecast exactly repeats Saturday, but we do have a few late afternoon showers to track.
