Finishing Stages
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Alright, I guess we can still have powerhouse snowstorms in Boston--it's been 2 years since we had a snowstorm like this. In fact, the 21.8" of snow (as of 9am) puts this storm into the top 10---number 6 to be exact. here is a sampling of other storm:
Worcester 28.0"
Topsfield 20.0"
Belmont 27.0"
Natick 23.0"
Norwood 24.0"
Acushnet 12.5"
Plymouth 11.5"
Just like that it, this storm pushes our seasonal snow totals up near normal---and beyond for Worcester. The storm was also responsible for some incredible wind gusts. Check these out:
Hyannis 84mph
Nantucket 77mph
Barnstable 75mph
Scituate 68mph
Fall River 63mph
Brookline 58mph
Not bad for a storm named after a fish. #Nemo. Moving forward we see this storm slowly pull away during the afternoon taking the final snow band & strong, gusty winds with it. Cold though, as wind chills stay pinned down into the teens for much of the afternoon.
By Sunday, cabin fever will be in full force & the good news is you'll have a great winter day to bust out of those cabins. Brilliant sunshine & no wind for the entire day with afternoon temps in the 30s. An epic day for skiing, sledding or just playing in the backyard with the kiddos.
Monday it's back to work & school and also back to inclement weather as another storm moves in--relax----a weaker storm that starts as some light snow but actually ends as some light rain/freezing drizzle Monday evening. Sunshine is set to return Tuesday.

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time. Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days. Mostly dry too!

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

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?
