Wet storm Monday

The same storm that has been setting records in California will come across the nation and hit us on Sunday night into Monday. However, the storm will pass to the west allowing for strong southerly winds to rise temps well into the 50's! We may pick up 2 inches of rain Sunday night and Monday and along with the melting snow it will create flooding. Until then, sunny skies and near normal temps will continue. 

Boston, MA forecast: 

Tonight: Clear and frigid. Lows near 24 Downtown, 21 in JP and in the low to mid teens elsewhere. 

Friday: Bright blue skies in the morning, then more clouds for the afternoon. High 36. NE wind of 10-20 MPH.

Friday night: Clearing and very cold again. Lows in the teens. 

Saturday: Full sunshine, but a bit colder. High 32. 

Sunday: Sunny in the morning, then cloudy in the afternoon. Warmer, highs near 40. 

Sunday night and Monday: Rain. The rain will be heavy at times. Windy with temps rising into the mid 50's by morning , but falling into the mid 40's in the afternoon. South winds gusting to 50 MPH through the morning! 

The California barrage continues: Snow totals have now reached over 6 feet at some of the ski resorts. The greatest snowfall total reported so far has been 75 inches on Mammoth Mt. in the Sierras. Rainfall has exceeded 10 inches in some hilly locations just east of LA, as people are being evacuated because of devastating mudslides.  Wind gusts to 80 MPH continue in southern Cal and Arizona, causing major damage. Also, Palm Springs, CA has received 50% of its average rainfall for the entire year in the last 4 days! Another storm is expected Friday and Saturday, although the heaviest rain may be over after tonight.
