Quick Storm Analysis ..
We have a storm coming for later this morning into Thursday morning. How ever it’s looking more wet then white .. Cloudy with light rain / snow early changing to a heavy rain after 1-2pm .. Highs 35-45 degrees with a increasing east wind 15-20mph .. Wednesday Night overcast rain heavy at times lows in the mid to upper 30’s . Winds east becoming north 20-25mph with a few gusts to 35mph … Late Wednesday night cold air drains down from Maine as our storm system heads into the Gulf Of Maine … Flash freeze possible Thursday am with rain changing over to snow .. Light accumulations possible on the order of 1-2″ maybe 3″ if were lucky . Temps falling through the 20’s don’t be surprised if we hover around 19 or 20 degrees at lunch time … Backlash snows end around midday or so then overcast / break in clouds to allow for a few sunny glimpse’s . Thursday night very cold teens / to lower 20’s gusty north west winds ..
Friday Sunny highs in the 30’s..
Saturday partly sunny in the upper 40’s..
Sunday mostly sunny 40..
Perhaps some storminess of sorts Monday / Tuesday .. But let’s get through this week first .. Thanks For viewing .

13º on Thursday! Could you promise that this is the last time? Another awesome weather report. I want more. I want a “Ask the Weatherman” segment at least once a week.
Here is your first question: Which way is the wind blowing? If a weatherman says, “westerly” “west 5 mph”, “W”, I am almost positive that all of those things mean the wind is coming FROM the west. Am I right? And not a second question because it is the same topic. On some weather maps there are little flags sticking out of locations indicating which way the wind blows. Again, I am almost positive the the flag is is tuck out of the side from where the wind is blowing even though if it was a real flag blowing in the wind it would be pointing the other direction. Should I think of those things as arrows riding the wind? What does a weatherman think they are?
I don’t want to monopolize the new segments but you could also tell us if real weathermen say “noreaster”. On Cape Ann I think it is common knowledge that you likely just fell off the turnip truck if you shorten “north easter” to “noreaster” but want to check.

13? Who said 13 lol .. I said Teens / lower 20’s ….thank u Paul …Ask The Weatherman Segment ? Hmm I like that I’ll get right on that next week !
Yes you’re right . Westerly is from the west lol …
I say Nor’easter … Most mets do .. As far as the wind sticks lol there called “Wind Barbs” shows the wind direction speed in knots ! The more barbs the stronger the winds … Hope that’s helpful enough for u Paul ..
