What's A Little More Snow?!
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
That's correct, more snow heading this way. It's a tiny storm but many of you will see some patches of light snow & flurries by late morning as well as the afternoon. It's also a slow moving storm so we can hold onto the threat of flurries & snow showers overnight. forecasting snow amounts in these storms can be very tricky because it's like forecasting thunderstorms in the summer. We know the atmosphere can produce the thunderstorms---but knowing exactly where and how often those thunderstorms form is just not possible. the same will occur with the snow showers later today & tonight. If you check out the *special*map in our maps section you will see a snowfall forecast map for this evening & tonight. That's not intended to be treated like gospel but rather the idea of the randomness of the snowfall. For example, Lakeville may get 4" of snow by Friday morning while Wareham only receives a coating.
In any event, this storm will pull out of New England by early tomorrow morning and allow sunshine to go to work melting most if not all of the snow we get tonight. High temps tomorrow will reach the low 40s. The weekend offers similar weather---continued cold as temps stay pinned in the low to mid 40s but at least that sun will shine.
Enjoy your Thursday!

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?
