It’s that time of year again! Autumn is upon us and the leaves across New England have been transforming into magnificent shades of orange, yellow and red. For residents of northern New England, this process began weeks ago – and for others, the changes are just becoming evident. Obviously, if I could travel around New England for a few days and use my own observations to create a fall foliage map, that would be ideal (and a ton of fun too!). But undoubtedly, by the time I returned to the station – the leaves would have changed even more! Case in point, the NECN Fall Foliage Report that was created just a few of days ago using a combination of different websites and reports, is probably already inaccurate in some spots. Read more

As cool air filters into New England, another round of showers and thunder for some Tuesday…cool through week’s end

Posted by Matt Noyes September 29, 2009 at 11:05 am

namnesfcwbgA large and energetic storm is churning east across Ontario and the upper level disturbance driving this storm will migrate over Central and Northern New England Tuesday afternoon, then stall for the next couple of days. The arrival of this upper level disturbance means the associated pool of cold air aloft will move over New England Tuesday afternoon, setting up a temperature contrast between relatively warm ground and cold sky that will favor big, bubbling, puffy cumulus clouds developing regionwide. In Southern New England, a few scattered showers are possible. North of the Massachusetts Turnpike, the chance for showers increases – especially north of the Route 2 corridor of Northern MA, where more widespread activity is expected. In fact…with so much cold air just a few thousand feet off of the ground, hailstones (balls of ice) are possible in heavier downpours associated with tallest clouds. Most showers should diminish after sundown, with a cool night ahead – but not frosty thanks to an active wind and variable clouds. Wednesday and Thursday, with the upper level storm stalling overhead, will still feature bubbling clouds, especially during the afternoons, but the coverage and intensity of showers will be less each day as somewhat drier, albeit cooler, air moves into New England. By Friday, the weather pattern starts to shift as the jet stream winds aloft begin drifting north. Remember that these jet stream winds are the fast corridor of wind high in the sky that steer storms and separate cool air to the north from warm to the south. So, as the jet stream drifts northward, warmer air will drift northward toward New England, as well, and this will likely mean increasing clouds on Friday. Unfortunately, at some point this clash of warm and cool air overhead will produce more than just clouds, and this looks timed to bring rain for the weekend, developing from west to east on Saturday and continuing periodically through at least part of Sunday. Thinking optimistically, there is the possibility that the rain is delayed a bit and we can salvage more of Saturday – I’ll keep an eye out for that, but for now the best forecast appears to be one that brings rain in on Saturday. -Matt
