12/1/11 A calmer, cooler period ahead.

As we enter December, we can expect some December like temperatures.  Overall we will be closer to normal today than we have been.

December weather highlights!
The weather pattern is in a quiet mode with the exception of a weak cold front over the plains. This will push through tonight and bring in a push of cooler air, but no major cold outbreaks. I foresee this being a pattern at least until later next week, when it becomes more amplified, a push of cold, followed by a return to mild and back and forth. 

A cold front in the middle of the country will bring cooler air from Montana into New England for Saturday


A significant push of colder air will come in next Wednesday into Thursday in which it will be cold, but short lived. This push though will change the weather pattern to one of more possible storms moving up the coast, something we have not seen in a few weeks. More to come....

11/29/11 A humid November day???

Does that sound right? Humid November day?  Yes, warm moist air is being transported from the deep south into New England today. Dew Point temperatures will reach the mid 50s, so yes, you may feel a bit sweaty today when walking around in the mild air!

Today - Mild, humid south wind high of 65!

Tonight - Rain arrives, heavy at times, low of 59!!

A large storm over the South is allowing warm air to flow north into New England today as it winds up!

A complicated weather map this morning, with the RADAR. Blue areas are snow. It is snowing in Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina where it will be in the 60s in Boston today.   A cold front will keep northern New England cooler as it retreats north during the day as a warm front. The rain will push through overnight tonight. The Cold Front over the Great Lakes is a kicker and will push this mess away during the day on Wednesday and bring in cooler air
Next week we can look forward to more December like weather as colder air flows in from Canada, however I do not see a pattern of extreme cold where mild days will ebb and flow with the cold.
