Thunderstorms are on the way, with a chance of hail. The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for "urban areas and small streams in Norfolk County, including the cities of Weymouth, Quincy, and Franklin," reports the Globe. Plymouth County has a flood warning as well, and Norfolk and northwestern Bristol County have severe thunderstorm warnings.......

People are taking the incoming snow seriously. Bostonist heard word that state employees are leaving work early, at 1:00 pm, because of the weather. Adam's French Toast Alert is on high. And he's selling T shirts. The weather guy on NECN said several times that he wasn't messing around and that people should stay off the roads. The National Weather Service advises: "It is recommended that if possible all travel be completed by 1:00 pm......

Not all clouds are cute little cotton puffs. Here's a photo of low-hanging clouds that made Boston look like a winter night – at about 3:30 pm this afternoon. We just went to the National Weather Service website, which provides the latest updates. As of 3:41, "the severe thunderstorm warning for central Middlesex county has been cancelled … wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour and heavy rains can be expected through 4:30 pm."......

At first it seemed like it was just a ploy for sweeps. Deemed the first big snow storm of the season initial reports had upwards of eight inches falling on Boston. Local TV news stations have fired up the severe weather graphics, pulled in their storm teams, and gone to almost all weather all the time. The National Weather Service even issued a winter storm warning for the next 24 hours:... Winter Storm Warning......

Bostonist loves the Inside Track ladies at the Herald. They’ve got their finger on the tiny trickle of celebrity and athlete gossip coming from the Hub. As was pointed out earlier this year, they were the only ones who could keep track of The Departed. But this morning they’re knocking on the Internet and Bosonist’s “Weather or Not” man Todd Gross. Set to make an appearance this morning on WAAF, before Todd went live, the......

Ah, the reliable seasonal occurrences in our fair city: Snow; car accidents caused by snow; potholes caused (in part) by snow; parking disputes caused by snow; weather reports predicting fantastic, super-duper, cripple-the-region-and-rock-your-world snow, and, inevitably, the failure of said snow actually to materialize. How disappointed was Bostonist? Very disappointed. Imagine the scene: At 6:15 (15 minutes before our alarm is set to go off), we hear the clarion call of Toddler Bostonist, a firm believer......

The first thing Bostonist thought yesterday when we awoke to the sight of snow - it's time to put on the snow tires on our rear wheel vehicle. Ugh. If Sunday's snow wasn't enough for you, don't worry the greater Boston area is in for another round of snow tomorrow. WHDH TV Boston reports that beginning tonight a winter storm warning is in effect for the Cape, Islands & parts of SE Mass. The......

Two weeks ago portions of the Big Dig tunnel had to be shut down as portions of fireproofing material had fallen from the support beams. It was blamed on the already discovered leaks in the tunnel project. Yesterday traffic was reduced to one lane either direction on the Zakim bridge, another wonder of the Big Dig. Just after noon, when the sun was high in the sky, large chunks of ice and snow began to......

After a record 43.1 inches of snow in January, Bostonist looked to good ol’ Punxsutawney Phil to give us the groundhog’s take on the season. He called it: winter for six more weeks. On Wednesday, presumably when tonight’s predicted storm is out of our system, we will have only two more weeks of winter before we start seeing the signs of spring. The best signs of spring have actually already begun, spring training with the......

Yeah, it’s that cold outside. Apparently it’s not cold enough for Boston to qualify for an advisory, but we do get a special weather statement. "The Wind Chill Advisory for much of southern New England has expired. Nonetheless... wind chills remain 10 to 15 degrees below zero... and noaas National Weather Service advises that common sense precautions to avoid frostbite continue."...
