This Weeks Weather Will Suck

It happens every spring. While most of us are thinking about longer days, warmer temperatures and trips to the beach, your atmosphere is going to give you a blunt reminder that we aren't into summer just yet.

The problem really is that our jet stream has moved wayyyyy to the north of us, keeping us and really most of the country stuck. This Accuweather graphic gives a good visual on the situation.


That upper level low will just sit and spin to our south west, giving us a wind off the 40 degree water all week. Translation, lots of clouds, lots of instability and the sudden urge to wear flannel and drink lattes because it will feel like we are in Seattle. For the record, I drink lattes on a regular basis.

So, no need for the sunglasses this week. We might break out of the pattern come next weekend but that is anyone's guess at this point.

I am glad that I will have a lovely 50 degree gray and wet night for my first red sox game of the season on Wednesday. Speaking of which, I have no one to go with to the game. Any takers? You would have to buy me at least one drink.

Good news ahead though. Look below.

Long range ECMWF model shows a nice warm week and memorial day weekend for us. That's great news for those of you planning bbq's, bachelor parties or cape cod events. Me? I have to work so screw you all. I don't mean it though. Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer so I like the warm forecast.

Just get through this week and I promise you good things soon!
