Another dry day - Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News

1 week ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

What a gorgeous day we had today with sunshine, warm temperatures and low humidity. We have another nice day on the way for tomorrow but you’ll notice more clouds overhead. I don’t want to sell it as a cloudy day because most of those clouds will be high level. It will just be more of a filtered sunshine versus the bright blue skies we had yesterday and through the day today. Those high clouds are ahead of rain showers that will be back for the day on Thursday.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine (AP) — An unusual May nor’easter is set to wallop New England on Thursday, providing a soaking before the Memorial Day holiday weekend with weather more commonly associated with fall and winter. Nor’easters usually arrive in the end of fall and winter and bring high winds, rough seas and precipitation in the form of rain or snow. This week’s nor’easter could bring wind gusts over 40 mph (64 kph) and up to 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain in some areas.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine (AP) — An unusual May nor’easter soaked New England on Thursday and threatened to bring snow to higher elevations as the states prepared for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Nor’easters usually arrive in the end of fall and winter and bring high winds, rough seas and precipitation in the form of rain or snow. This week’s nor’easter could bring wind gusts over 40 mph (64 kph) and up to 2 inches (5 centimeters) of rain in some areas.
Spring Nor’easter

2 weeks ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

We started off with hints of sun this morning, but the clouds backed their way in today and those overcast skies will be with us through Saturday. With the overcast skies comes rain, some days wetter than others, with a spring nor’easter set to hit on Thursday. Tomorrow is a cloudy day, a cooler day, and a damp day. We don’t have any real rain on the way for Wednesday outside of some patchy drizzle, especially along the coastline.
Big cool down ahead

2 weeks ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

Today was on the cooler side, yes, but really it wasn’t far off from something we’d expect in mid May. Our average high is now 67° and most of us managed to climb into the low to mid 60s this afternoon. The problem today was the wind more than anything, gusting over 30 mph at times. The wind will settle down a bit overnight and into tomorrow. Tonight will still be a breezy night but it won’t be as gusty as today or even last night for that matter.
More storm chances

We have a summer like day on tap for tomorrow with temperatures near 80° and a bit of humidity to go along with it. Tonight the showers will wind down, though we’ll keep drizzle and fog around into tomorrow morning. Once we erode that fog and break into sunshine, it’ll end up to be a pretty warm day.
Low, not zero rain chances

3 weeks ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

Rain chances are creeping back into the forecast for the next couple of days, but as we’ve been say for the past several days, no day is a total washout — especially for Thursday and Friday. While both bring the chance for a passing shower or storm most of the day will be dry. As the rain chances creep up, so will the moisture in the air. The humidity wasn’t bad today, but it was higher than yesterday.
Staying mild - Boston News, Weather, Sports

3 weeks ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

After topping out in the 70s yesterday, today was a bit cooler as we reached near 70° inland, with 60s on the coast line. The nice part about this time of year is even with cooler temperatures like we saw on the coast today, the sunshine goes a long way! The sun strength today is equivalent to July 30th!The mild air will be with us for the rest of the week and into the weekend. Unfortunately the rain chances will be increasing the next few days, but don’t fret – no day is a total washout.
Some promise ahead

1 month ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

After another damp and dreary day today, there’s some promise on the horizon! Showers will taper off before midnight, though fog and drizzle will be the story overnight into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we’ll decrease the clouds and we’ll see some sunshine through the second part of the day! That added sunshine will give temperatures a boost — up near 70° tomorrow afternoon. With more sun Thursday, temperatures should make the lower 70s.
Omega Block - Boston News, Weather, Sports

1 month ago | whdh.com | Josh Wurster

What’s with all the rain?! Well, we’re in a pattern right now, affectionately known as an Omega Block. It gets its name from the Greek letter Omega which looks like this:The current weather set up resembles that Omega symbol with an area of high pressure stuck between two areas of low pressure. The jet stream, as it navigates its way between the highs and lows, take the shape of Omega. The problem (or maybe good news) with this is it’s a blocking pattern which means we’re just stuck this way.
