Two-Parter

Posted by Pete Bouchard

First wave of precipitation is moving through as of this typing. Initially it grabs your attention as snow (some moderate), then a switchover to rain within a couple of hours. This was supposed to be our time to 'make hay' with the snow. As we've discovered, the southeast wind this afternoon boosted temps to the mid 30s, so even with the numbers slumping a little this evening, accumulations are minimal.

This is the sloppy part of the storm. Our rain/snow line will move up just north of Boston and Worcester and hover there for the night. South of that imaginary line, it should be rain. North it's snow - and possibly some sleet. All of it tapers by morning as the precipitation moves off to the east.

Then we get a brief morning lull with some intermittent snowshowers.

No later than mid morning the next phase of this storm system will engage. This will predominately be snow as the storm will be east and the colder air begins to shuffle in. (Harlem-style if you want.) Rest of the day and afternoon, light snow will take over.

When the dust settles, this is the end result:

Still some splashover at high tide along the coast tomorrow morning, but it won't be much. Winds aren't all that impressive either. Gusts could touch 30mph on the Cape/Islands tomorrow.

Another update late tonight.

Warming Up and Unsettled

Posted by Chris Lambert

Well, it certainly was a great weekend weather-wise until this afternoon when the temps dropped and light showers moved in from west to east.  Despite the cool down, the theme for this upcoming week is warmer with higher humidity.  It'll also be unsettled at times. 

Pulling The Fade

Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds.  As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening.  Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening.  Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers.  These showers are brought to us by a warm front.

Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70.  Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.
