Bands of downpours, strong winds today

NO, NO, BUT YOU WILL NEED THE UMBRELLA IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT THE DOOR. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAUTION YOU ON THE UMBRELLA TOO. IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO JUST BRING THE RAIN JACKET TODAY, BECAUSE IF YOU GET CAUGHT IN THOSE WINDS, THERE GOES THE UMBRELLA AND purchase A NEW ONE. YEAH, EXACTLY. ALL RIGHT. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE ON THE RADAR RIGHT today. AND WE’VE GOT TWO AREAS OF HEAVY RAINFALL. THERE’S ONE OUT THROUGH UPSTATE NEW YORK. THIS IS THE ONE WE WERE FOCUSED ON EARLIER THIS MORNING. AND today WE’VE GOT THIS LINE WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT’S KIND OF TRYING TO TAKE OVER HERE, HEADING THROUGH HARTFORD. SO THIS AREA OF HEAVIER RAIN WILL BE WORKING ON UP THROUGH SPRINGFIELD. IT IS today. IT WILL BE HEADING ON UP TOWARD THE QUABBIN AND INTO FAR WESTERN WORCESTER COUNTY. HERE, IN SHORT ORDER, I’D GIVE IT ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO BEFORE THIS ARRIVES. today, AS WE TRACK THIS LINE, LET’S BRING IT INTO AMHERST AND ORANGE. HERE, 530 OR SO, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LATER THAN THAT. HEADING INTO WORCESTER, THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE, YOU KNOW, CLOSER TOWARD MAYBE THE 6 TO 630, 7:00 TIME FRAME. AND THEN EVENTUALLY WORKING ON OVER TOWARD THE BOSTON AREA AS WELL AROUND BOSTON METRO WEST. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME VERY LIGHT SHOWERS, ENOUGH TO DOT YOUR WINDSHIELD. MAYBE YOU’RE RIDING THAT INTERMITTENT SETTING ON YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS, BUT THAT’S REALLY IT. SO IF YOU CAN GET OUT AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR COMMUTE today VERSUS WAITING A COUPLE OF HOURS, I THINK THAT WILL BE A GOOD IDEA FOR YOU. HERE WE GO. 6:00 ON THROUGH 7:00, 8:00 THIS MORNING. WATCHES THAT LINE THAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT TAKES OVER. HEADS UP TOWARD WORCESTER COUNTY ALONG WITH THIS IS GOING TO BE A RIBBON OF SOME INTENSE WIND, AT LEAST ALOFT. NOT BY THAT FAR. ALOFT, 2000FT IS MAYBE TWICE AS HIGH UP AS AS SKY FIVE FLIES WHEN IT’S UP IN THE AIR, WHICH FLIES USUALLY ABOUT 1000FT OR SO UP TOWARD 2000FT, THERE WILL BE A RIBBON OF SOME INTENSE WINDS, AND IF WE CAN GET THE RAIN TO FALL HARD ENOUGH, IT CAN DRAG SOME OF THAT WIND DOWN TOWARD THE SURFACE. SO ACCOMPANYING THIS LINE, MAYBE SOME LOCALIZED, POWERFUL WINDS, ENOUGH TO CAUSE SOME WIND DAMAGE. DON’T FORGET, A LOT OF THE TREES STILL HAVE A GOOD CHUNK OF THEIR LEAVES ON THERE, WHICH IS JUST GOING TO GRAB THE WIND AND BRING SOME LIMBS DOWN. PERHAPS 10:00 TIME FRAME. WORKING ON TOWARD THE BOSTON AREA TOWARD LATE THIS MORNING, MIDDAY, AND THEN AFTER ABOUT 1230 1:00, I THINK WE CAN START TO WRITE THIS OFF. AND SKIES WILL ACTUALLY START TO MAYBE CLEAR OUT A LITTLE BIT IN TIME FOR A DECENT SUNSET. THE FARTHER WEST YOU GO, THERE MAY BE JUST A HINT OF CLEARING OUT THERE. SO WIND GUSTS. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE AS WELL AS WE STEP THROUGH THE MORNING, series AS THEY FRESHEN UP, ESPECIALLY DOWN TOWARD AREAS SOUTH OF BOSTON, PROVIDENCE, NEW BEDFORD COULD BE GUSTING 40 50MPH. AGAIN, IF WE CAN HARNESS A GOOD CHUNK OF THAT WIND ALOFT, THE WINDS WILL SETTLE BACK SOMEWHAT, BUT STILL REMAIN GUSTY. HEADING ON THROUGH ABOUT LATER ON THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. SO ON OUR RADAR NEXT 12 HOURS, OBVIOUSLY THE BAND OF DOWNPOURS, THE STRONG WINDS, ANOTHER ROUND OF WET WEATHER FOR WEDNESDAY AND THEN DRY. PARTIAL SUNSHINE. SEASONABLY COOL AS I FOCUS IN ON NEXT WEEKEND. NEVER TOO EARLY TO START THINKING ABOUT THAT AS WE LOOK AT YOUR MONDAY AGAIN, IT’S A WEATHER ALERT DAY FOR TODAY. THANK YOU KATIE. SHE’S WAVING ME DOWN. I’M STANDING OUT IN NO MAN’S LAND RIGHT today BECAUSE HONESTLY, I’M SO FOCUSED ON WEATHER FORECASTING, I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M SUPPOSED TO GO. YOU GOT TO WALK IN HERE. THERE YOU GO AND TALK. I GOT A I’M WORKING ON THE BUBBLE G
