9:55 AM
Just a quick forecast update. Changed today to reflect more sun. I’m sure most of you will welcome it, and I don’t mind being wrong in having said mostly cloudy only to have a mostly sunny morning underway. Clouds will increase later, but enjoy the bonus sun if you can, for now!
The rest of the forecast is unchanged for now. A full update for the week ahead will appear this evening! Have a great Sunday!

Thanks TK for the update! Keeping my fingers crossed that any showers next Saturday will hold off until later afternoon, if not evening. I have to be out of doors most of that day.
I also wonder what Pete Bouchard is thinking about his “80s” for Monday?
Answer: D-Oh!! lol. 😉
As much as we know it CAN get to 80+ this time of year, something just screamed to me from the beginning to NOT jump on that bandwagon. I despise going for something early only to have to back-off. It happens, but I don’t like doing it that way if I can avoid it. Granted, this has not verified yet, but it is looking more and more like NOBODY will see 80 on Monday.
No changes in the thunderstorm index but this has the potential to be a big severe weather day across parts of the midwest. I expect a number of severe weather reports coming out of there along with tornadoes.
It’s quite volatile out there, with the contrast between the lingering chill & the early summer heat, and the energy moving around the edge of that ridge. Luckily the wind will be enough from the south and off the ocean to limit the strength of thunderstorms in most of New England during the next couple days.
I was commenting about the ocean water yesterday and its good when that wind comes in from those chilly waters because that stabilizes the atmosphere just a bit and weakens thunderstorm activity.
Ugh. People need to stop replying to the troll on WBZ. Engaging him is only encouraging him to continue.
I was enjoying coffee on the deck so much this morning that I forgot to notice wind direction. I shifted to out of the south around 12:30 and is a cooler wind than this mornings. Stronger too. But still lovely!
Storm Prediction Center for tomorrow has the slight risk just to the west of New England tomorrow. Thankfully the winds from the cool waters of the Atlantic should weaken any thunderstorms that should form to the west. With that I would not be surprised if some places in SNE here some rumbles.
there’s an interesting little feature on the 12z GFS for the middle of the week. I guess it wants to develop a small low pressure on the cold front coming thru early in the week. First, I dont know if this solution makes any sense, but if it did and it verified, could it mean a little wet snow for Worcester or the highest elevations of southern New England ??
The Euro hinted at that a few days ago…
Boy, the Great Lakes region has really cleared out, is receiving a lot of sunshine and has warmed up a ton. That cannot be good for severe wx later this afternoon.
(my excellent English above)……the sun and warmth are likely to cause thunderstorms and severe weather and that is not good.
Tom your right about that because the sunshine will destablize the atmosphere there and make ir very volitile. In fact the storm prediction center in their recent mesoscale discussion mentions that a tornado watch is likely for parts of the upper midwest and I expect more weather watches to be issued.
A sea breeze has kicked in and the sky now has a milky appearance. thats spring along the coast…
