Good morning everybody, I would encourage you to read or re-read the Nutshell below as I think it does a decent job of explaining the up/down, side-side, back-front seesaw setup we’ll be enduring through Monday morning.

Here’s the seesaw pattern from today through Monday in list form:

–We have a frontal boundary north of us right now
–This has put us on its warm side, highs 60s to low /mid 70s later
–This front will then push southwest this evening to cool down eastern parts of SWNH and CMass, temps into the 40s to 50º by late afternoon there
–By tomorrow, it will then lift back north as a warm front for Wednesday which should warm all of us into the 60s to low/mid 70s
–Then, it will be shoved back south by high pressure to our northeast for Thursday which will cool us way down into the upper 30s to mid 40s
–Then, it will be shoved back to our north as developing Great Lakes low pressure dumps snow in Ontario and passes north of New England, putting us back in a warming southwest flow for Friday through Sunday with highs 65-70º
–Finally, we’ll see ANOTHER cold front push all of that warmth out to sea which will make for a colder and blustery Monday with highs in the 40s

Are you exhausted?

Me, too. Time for a napzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……

#SeesawWeather

For today, tonight, and tomorrow morning we’ve got periods of showers this morning, heaviest along and north of Rt. 2 in MA, VT and NH.

Another slug of showers, downpours with some thunder will sweep through the region later morning into early afternoon, with a lull that follows.

Another round of showers with another wave moves in later this evening and overnight, likely tapering off by Wednesday morning.

After that, activity should be light, and isolated to widely scattered for the rest of Wednesday into Wednesday night, but I will provide an update later this afternoon regarding the Wednesday to Friday timeframe.

Have a great day!
