Bitter Blast
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
It's not unusual (Tom Jones?) to get a wicked cold day like yesterday during the winter but when you start to stack them up back to back, then it does become unusual. Today is bitterly cold once again with temperatures only reaching the upper teens but those wind chill temperatures will stay below zero for just about the entire day. Hey, at least that sun will shine. Clear & very cold tonight with lows once again down near zero (and below).
Friday offers some milder weather with afternoon temps reaching the lower 20s during the afternoon. The reason for the milder air is a storm that will slide south of New England late in the day & evening. I don't think this storm will do much in terms of snowfall---it's just too far away. There will be some patchy light snow & flurries arriving around 7pm & continuing overnight but most towns along the MA Pike & south shore see only a coating to an inch (Flurries north of the Pike). Closer to Buzzards Bay & Cape Cod you will find some steadier snow tomorrow night & 2-3" is likely down that way.
In any event, the weekend sees the bitter grip relax just a bit with afternoon temps both Saturday & Sunday reaching the upper 20s. Sunshine is around at times on Saturday and is all over the place on Sunday. Saturday may offer more wind than Sunday.
Looking into next week, our pattern flips back to a warmer & stormier pattern as rain & 40 degree weather may be heading this way.
Stay warm (and classy).

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.
