Relentless

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

I knew this would happen. If you start slow with winter, eventually it catches up with you. That's certainly happening this year as we track yet another snowstorm heading this way. This will  be a pretty straight-forward snowstorm---ie---no stalled nature of the storm, no fire hose of moisture aimed at New England and for coastal residents, and an eventual changeover to rain.

First off, a cold January-like day with sunshine giving way to clouds and high temps only reaching the lower 30s by afternoon. No wind though--huge when it's so cold outside. The dry weather will last into the early evening hours. I think the first flakes will fly between 11pm-1am across the region.

Tuesday will be a stormy day across the region with snow for just about everyone during the morning rush and mix of snow, sleet & rain along the coast by mid morning and just plain rain for the immediate coast by noon. It will stay in the form of all snow for the I-495/ Rt2 region. Our *special* map in the maps section will show just how much for your area. The storm will be with us for the day, not tapering off until mid evening.

Usually, March snowstorms pass through and we get back into the sunshine with 50 degree temps in sight. Not this year. Blocking area of high pressure up in north central Canada keeps us in winter mode here in the northeast for the rest of the week with daytime temps only in the 30s & overnight lows in the teens/20s.

Red Sox open the season 2 weeks from today in New York. Spring is coming one way or another.

Summ-ah!

With the snap of the fingers we were thrown into summer this afternoon. Heat, humidity, A/C and shorts - with a hazy sun to boot. But with the sea breeze knocking back the temperatures (and bringing in a round of downpours this evening), there are changes afoot.

Warming Up and Unsettled

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.
