TK, thanks for the update. It seems like especially good weather for the Patriots game. It also seems we have a large Caribbean low which may develop a little but not hit the US mainland.
Thanks TK
No change to the thunderstorm index which remains at a 1 since I don’t think we see severe weather but as I said yesterday I would not be surprised to a see a few strong thunderstorms.
Hey TK…all extended forecasts including NWS that I have seen has rapid clearing come next Thursday. What do you see at this time that the others do not?
Euro has been consistently pessemistic around that timeframe so I cannot ignore it at this time. I have noted that the 00z run is a little more progressive but a trough axis remains nearby so I will only edge slightly back away from steady rain for now, and we’ll see what’s up on the next update.
Warm sector pushing through south shore. Winds have become South/Southeast and the dewpoints are almost 70F.
It’s 4:10 PM and just got hit by a heavy downpour in Newton.
