Occasional Timeout

Posted by Chris Lambert

The theme through the weekend will be the warm weather and high humidity... and occasionally, we'll have to deal with a thunderstorm. 

A couple things to keep in mind the next few days is that storms will be hit and miss, and they tend to favor inland communities.  With that said, I can't rule out a passing thunderstorm at the beaches, but I wouldn't necessarily cancel my plans because of it.  Overall, the rain chance at the coast runs around 20-30%, closer to 50% outside Route 128.  Even areas that receive thunderstorms, spend most of the day dry despite the downpour that falls out of the sky with any thunderstorm that fires.  Kind of like the last couple of days... when it rains, it can rain hard causing ponding on the roads fairly quickly.

A more widespread chance for showers and storms rolls in on Monday with a cold front and behind it, we'll trim the humidity for Tuesday, allowing for a more comfortable day.

What A Day

The last day of spring will be fantastic! What a way to close the books on the vernal season. As our weather producer, Jim Colman says...."what a season it was..rain, snow, wind, sun and more rain" Truth Jim, truth. Only sun today with afternoon temps in the upper 70s--a great day for all outdoor activities.

Just In Time

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!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

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:
