Some Snow Saturday

Today was a wild day with heavy rain early this morning along with very strong winds. Then temps soared to near 70. It officially hit 69 at Logan, but many towns did hit 70! That temp broke the record set in 1932 of 65.

Some totals from today:

Rain (inches):
Acushnet: 1.5
Brockton: 1.4
Bedford: 1.3

Wind gusts (MPH) :

Blue Hill: 72
Barnstable: 56
Boston: 53
Stow: 50


It now appears that the storm on Saturday night will come a bit closer to the region. Although it still unclear how close it will come. One model has a direct hit with many inches of snow, but the other shows just light snow with for most of the area with minor accumulation. I am leaning more towards the grazing, but we are not out of the woods yet. Based on that track snow may amount up to 2 inches from Boston points north along the coast. It will probably will start out as rain showers, but then change to snow for most areas. South of the city it may be too warm for snow, especially on the Cape. Away from the coast a few snow showers may fall.
