New England

The coldest front of the winter so far is cruising from northwest to southeast across New England Friday evening and overnight. With it, we are tracking scattered rain and snow showers moving from the mountains and hills to the coast, most remaining scattered in nature. But locally, poor visibility and slippery conditions are possible just about anywhere through evening and...

President Donald Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of more than 140 people on his last day in office. A few had ties to New England, even bringing a reaction from a federal prosecutor in Massachusetts.

We’re on the cusp of a mighty cold weekend – perhaps not cold by usual January standards in New England, but biting cold by THIS January’s standards in New England!  Canadian air spilling in on a northwest wind will hold temperatures shy of 30 degrees for most of the weekend, and that same steady northwest wind will suppress wind chill…

A brief warm-up is here before an extended stretch of more familiar mid-winter New England weather: cold. It’s actually a warm front passing over that generated our scattered flurries and snow showers with little accumulation Thursday, followed by some evening clearing. But another front moves in late night Thursday with more snow showers, a coating to 1 inch for many but...

This week’s weather pattern has been repetitive – a series of energetic disturbances aloft are prompting clouds, flurries and snow showers with gradually cooler air each day. Meanwhile, significant moisture needed for larger storm development stays separate, to the south. The pattern won’t change much in the days ahead, though changes in temperature will become a bit more pronounced...

From the NBC10 Boston First Alert Weather Center…
Today (Thursday): Lots of clouds, afternoon flurries. Highs in the 30s.
Overnight Thursday Night: Partial clearing, predawn flurry. Lows in the 20s.
Friday: Fair sky to late clouds & a flurry. Highs in the lower 40s.

The steady stream of energetic disturbances through the sky of New England continues for days to come – creating periods of clouds, flurries, sprinkles and showers of snow and rain, but cut off from substantial moisture locked way to the south in the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Tropical Atlantic, meaning significant storm development just isn’t going to happen anytime…

This week actually brings busy weather high in the sky – multiple energetic disturbances will drop southeast from Canada across the Great Lakes and into New England – but at ground level there’s not a lot of impact, except periods of clouds, flurries, sprinkles and steadily cooling temperatures.  With a cooling trend ahead, that makes Monday the mildest day not…

Today (Monday): Sun and clouds, a few flurries and sprinkles. Highs in the 40s.
Overnight Monday Night: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 20s.
Tuesday: Fair. Highs 35-40.

A storm has lashed parts of New England and eastern Canada with heavy rain, snow and wind and caused power outages

Friday brings a break between Thursday’s weak system that delivered light rain and snow to some and what remains of the once-powerful storm that’s crossed the northern tier of our nation and passes through New England Saturday.   Breaks in the clouds for partial sunshine Friday morning to midday will eventually close as clouds increase both from the east...

Lots of clouds are in the forecast for a few days, though rain and snow falling from those clouds will be limited.  Thursday finds a strung-out disturbance aloft moving east out of the Twin Tiers of southern New York and northern Pennsylvania. It will migrate over southern New England, bringing some scattered light snow and rain showers from mid-morning...

A major storm of wind, snow and rain has just blasted the Pacific Northwest, knocking out power to half a million in western Washington alone.

Maybe you’ve seen them on your social media feeds or in your travels: backyard ice rinks that seem to be popping up more and more as a way for families and friends to get outside during the pandemic. “In previous years, we probably had a handful of friends that had backyard rinks, but this year, we’ve seen so many...

More and more New Englanders seem to be installing backyard ice rinks so they can stay active during the coronavirus pandemic.

A relatively quiet and dry weather pattern continues for New England, but that doesn’t mean we’re devoid of impacts from the weather. Dry air and a light wind both play a role in our Monday routine.  The light wind comes courtesy of a dome of high pressure – dry air and fair weather – cresting over New England. While...
