Today's Weather: Not As Cool, But Still Unsettled

The timing of the rain yesterday seemed perfect after a beautiful Memorial Day weekend. Tuesday ended up quite chilly, with temperatures actually falling throughout the day. Perhaps you were even tempted to put the heat back on.

Today, we find a lot of clouds, and we're on the northern side of a temperature boundary. To the south of this boundary, it's been very hot and severe weather has developed in this warm sector over the past couple of weeks.

Nationally, this has been one of the most active severe weather months we've had in quite some time. There have been over 300 reports of tornadoes this month — the most since 2011.

New England has been fortunate in the sense that we've remained in the cool air, and it's difficult to get severe weather on the northern side of a gradient.

The weather pattern remains active the rest of the work week, with little waves of low pressure rippling along this boundary. It won't rain all the time, but as pieces of this energy cross the region, clouds will thicken and we will see a couple of showers.

Temperatures will warm, and eventually be above-average by the end of the week and into the weekend. Speaking of the weekend, Saturday right now looks like a really nice day with a lot of sunshine and temperatures in the mid-70s. This would be our third beautiful Saturday in a row if we continue with this forecast.

It's a little early to nail down the forecast for Sunday, but there could be some unsettled weather before the weekend is through.
