The large ocean storm developed very far away from us...as far as precip goes we just got grazed with some rain and snow showers. The wind however is going to be strong enough to be annoying. Gusts will exceed 30 mph and with temps in the 30s this morning it will feel more like 20s out there. The storm will continue to chug away from us this afternoon and the winds will relax a bit. Temps will still struggle into the upper 40s this afternoon despite bright sunshine.
There isn't much bad to say about the weekend. It's been a while since we have said that BOTH weekend days are going to be great...so I'm happy to pass it along! Saturday will be seasonably cool with temps climbing into the lower 50s but the wind won't be that bad and I'd be shocked to see any clouds...great Autumn day!
Sunday's my pick of the weekend...temps will be much warmer reaching 60 degrees in the afternoon on a warm SW wind. Again few if any clouds will be present and if there are any they will be high thin cirrus clouds responding to the warming airmass aloft.
That warming airmass really throws us a treat early next week. With ridging up and down the East Coast temps aloft will be warm enough to support 70 degrees on both Monday and Tuesday. The records are a reach on both days in Boston. Monday's record is 74 degrees set back in 1945 and Tuesday's record is 78 degrees set back in 1931...probably out of reach. Still it will feel plenty warm enough!
By the way...Boston's average date of first frost is November 7th and we are still waiting for our first frost of the season at Logan. Tonight could be that night...temps in the burbs will dip into the 20s while over at Logan I am expecting lower 30s...32,33,34...somewhere in that ballpark. So if it happens tonight, it will be right on the money as far as the date goes...kind of interesting.
Lastly, the next two weeks are expected to be above normal for temps and below normal for precip according to the CPC...at the moment doesn't appear that any snowstorms are in the cards...hang in there...
Have a great weekend every one!
