5/21/11 A little bit of everything.

A lot of moisture is around.  The ground is nicely soaked, (no droughts at least).  All of this moisture is leading to some foggy conditions in the morning hours and this should continue for the next several days. Depending on cloud cover where you are located the fog could hold on for a bit of the morning hours.

Today's weather really is all about location. The closer to the ocean you are, the cooler it will be. Some locations like Gloucester/Rockport & P-town will stay in the mid to upper 50's.   City of Boston lower to mid 60's and inland Worcester & 495 around 70 and mid 70s Springfield way.   Sunshine will also play a role. If the sun comes out and burns off the fog before it builds the clouds temps could warm a bit more along the coastal areas. 

Rainfall today looks to be limited more to southern RI, CT. The Berkshires and Green Mountains in VT.  Then northern VT NH and Maine associated with a backdoor cold front. Still cannot rule out a thunderstorm or shower, especially where the temps warm. The cooler air along the coast should limit thunderstorm development.

Sunday - You get some sunshine!!!  but cooler temperatures again especially along the coast. Take todays weather and subtract 5-8 degrees.  

Monday there is the chance for some morning showers, but otherwise not a bad day then Tuesday is the winner with a perfect set up of winds were everyone should be in the 80's. Would not be surprised to see some mid 80's in some areas come Tuesday.


Weather word of the day:
Backdoor coldfront -  a typical weather pattern goes from west to east at our lattitude. When a front moves in the opposite direction, from Northeast to Southwest (i.e from Maine to say CT) this is a backdoor cold front.
