Warm afternoon on tap, cooldown expected this weekend
Another warm afternoon is on tap, with temperatures returning to the mid to upper 70s again. It’s always great to get a few warm days this late in the season, but unfortunately, much of the region is dealing with drought conditions, which has led to numerous brush fires cropping up, especially over the past week. Friday will be no different. With...

Warm temps close out the week, critical risk for fire danger
We’re still holding on to the warm temperatures to close out the week. A cold front will cross by midday, but we’re starting mild and we’re keeping the westerly wind intact. That wind will be gusty, so this may not be a great day for leaf cleanup. More importantly, fire danger increases again thanks to the breeze and the low...

‘Frightening' warmth: Halloween forecast looks downright balmy
Happy Halloween! To your ghoulish delight, there will be plenty of warm treats in the forecast. Highs creep up to the 80-degree mark in many towns and cities snapping records along the way while we maintain an eerie breeze from the southwest. Spooky clouds may dart in and out from time to time, but this a mostly bright finish to...

Trick or heat? Unseasonably warm temps on tap for Halloween
You can ditch the jackets for Halloween as it is going to be more like a mild late summer day, temperatures soar to the upper 70s and low 80s. The warmest Halloween since 1946. By trick-or-treating time, temperatures will be in the upper 60s and low 70s, with no rain on tap. With warm temperatures and the generally dry fall...

What a treat! Halloween forecast calls for temps near 80 degrees
Had to double check the radar – and even poke my head outside – to see if we actually had rain overnight. Sure enough, it was water (and not ash) falling from the sky. While this was just a drop in the bucket, it helped in the short term. In the blazing heat of summer, this rain would have been...

Air quality is expected to improve amid Mass. wildfires — but not for long
A warm front will bring increasing clouds and light rain to New England Tuesday evening, with showers lingering into early Wednesday. Temperatures will warm up on Wednesday, reaching the mid-70s. Air quality bottomed out this morning in the “very unhealthy” category over Salem and Lynn, Massachusetts. This is from brush fires and a “cap” of clouds/warm air aloft that are...

What is inversion smoke? Wildfires continue to impact air quality in Mass.
Smoke continues to drift under our inversion – an atmospheric ‘lid” that traps the smoke near the ground – creating an acrid smell and ribbon of haze in the skies over eastern Massachusetts. Like Monday, this will mix out with a developing breeze later Tuesday morning. And with more wind in the forecast over the next couple of days, we’re...

It's not quite a snow day, but flakes have arrived for some in New England
It’s beginning to feel a bit more like winter in parts of the Boston area. Snow was spotted falling in Beverly, Massachusetts, on Monday morning, as well as in Lyndeborough, New Hampshire. We saw more snow in Duxbury, Vermont, as well. Monday was much colder than it’s been in New England, though that’s not expected to last. In fact, Halloween...

Warmer temps moving in just in time for Halloween
It’s been a very dry autumn thus far. Only a smidge above two inches since Sept. 1 in Boston puts this at the third driest autumn so far. Worcester ranks at second driest. We’re very likely to get more rain through the end of November to round out fall, but trend is certainly concerning. The end result has been increased...

Brush fire danger persists in New England
Wildfires continue to flare up across New England as growing drought combines with winds and dry air to create ideal conditions for fires to spark and grow. The problem isn’t solely with the lack of rain, but with the season, as well.

Cool weekend ahead, warmer temps return next week
Although we can mark this as a cooldown, it’s hardly bringing us below seasonable levels. Typically, we’d be in the upper 50s for high temperatures. On Friday, we’ll top out around 60. And Saturday, we’ll start the journey back into the mid-60s as a cold front crosses. Again, there’s not much fanfare with this front. A batch of clouds and...

Temperatures cool off heading into the weekend
A cold front will sink us back into the 60s on Thursday, and although that’s still “warm,” it’s not nearly as toasty as the last three days. We’ll struggle in the sunshine department too. The upper levels are cooling off, allowing clouds to fill in above. Friday sees us closer to 60, with full sun and more dry air. We’ll...

A cold front will cross overnight and into the early morning hours, dropping us back to the 60s tomorrow, and deepening the chill Friday, as we close in on our normal high for this time of year, 59. Pete Bouchard has your forecast details....

Seasonable air set to sweep in as dry conditions spark brush fire threat
A weak cold front will arrive late Wednesday night, bringing a chance of a very isolated shower or two, especially near the South Coast, Cape Cod and the Islands. That is going to usher in seasonable air in the 60s through Saturday. Cooler weather will follow on Thursday, along with gusty northwest winds. Breezy and dry days ahead will increase...

Warm temperatures continue Tuesday, cooler weather moves in late week
From Hartford to Bangor, records fell all across New England on Monday. Tuesday won’t be quite as warm, but some spots may still hit 80 degrees away from the coast. Steady winds coming in from the east will eventually snuff out the warmth in the mid-afternoon, however. And right at the water’s edge, we’ll struggle to make 70 in the...
