FINALLY GAME DAY‼️ Come support the 'Caps as they kick off the 2026 season on the road against Hyannis! #rollcaps🌊

El Niño is officially here. NOAA just announced its arrival. "There is a 63% chance of a very strong El Niño during November-January that would rank among the largest El Niño events in the historical record going back to 1950," they wrote.

Brief showers this PM were associated with a warm front crossing the area. Warmer / more humid air mass building in overnight. First truly humid day of the year coming up Thu with dew points 65F-70F. Probably some low clouds / fog to contend with for a time too, as a result

To give some perspective on how historically dry it has been: RDU Airport has only received 15.44" of rain since last September, a whopping 18" below normal & only about 46% of normal. It also shatters the previous driest Sept 1 - Jun 9 period which was 19.49" in 2001-2002. #ncwx

A fisherman reeled in a great white shark on Nantucket’s south shore on Sunday, as dozens of people gathered on the beach to watch and record the spectacle. Elliot Sudal has been fishing for sandbar sharks and other species during the summers for more than a decade. On Sunday, he was out fishing on the south shore with his apprentice, Stone Fornes, and fellow angler Nathan Skerritt, when they realized they had a big one on the line. The Current caught up with Sudal on Monday to ask about the catch that has since made headlines in Boston and beyond. Q: What were you fishing for? A: We were just out testing the waters, conditions looked great, just wanted to see if anything was around. Everything has been showing up earlier the last few years, sandbar sharks, duskys, sand tigers, roughtail rays. The water’s still in the 50s, but they’re here. Q: What are the rules for this type of fishing? A: That was the first white I’ve hooked in 13 years on Nantucket. Caught 1000-plus sandbars and hundreds of duskys off the beach, tagged most of them along the way. By no means was targeting that white, you can’t control what picks up your bait. I posted that video because I feel like I did everything right in that situation. Shark was in the surf, removed the hook and sent her back to sea in about 15 seconds. If you are into shark fishing here, use appropriate heavy tackle, barbless circle hooks, and release immediately. Take the online course, get involved with a tagging program. Understand people are watching you, respect the animal and be safe. Q: What did you do when you realized it was a white? A: Saw the spotted pectoral fin flash in a wave and just focused. Understood the gravity of the situation and had to get her released safely and quickly. Amazing creature, humbled to be blessed with the opportunity to interact with one. Had a great crew helping with everything, she swam off strong, not something we will ever forget. 🎥: @brynerOliveira

Looking at the year so far, Jan 1-Jun 7, it is the driest start to the year in Boston's recorded history...each month has been below average

Actually a touch humid today but drier air rushes in on N and NE winds tonight (preceded by some showers/thunder this evening). Enjoy the refreshing air. These low dew point air masses struggle to take hold during the mid and late summer months.

It has been 800 days since Philadelphia experienced 2" or greater rainfall on a single calendar day (March 23, 2024). Typically, this occurs about 2 days per year on average. #PAwx

Cold start! Clear skies...light winds...cool/dry air mass...meant a temp free-fall last night. Mid 30s on parts of the Cape. 30F(!!) on Martha's Vineyard

The meteor on Saturday was spotted as far away as Canada and appeared on several radar scans. Based on an extensive analysis of all available radar data, if any debris reached the ground, it would be in Cape Cod Bay, north of Barnstable and west of Eastham. (1/3)

#MeteorSighting: Eyewitnesses in New England and @NOAA’s GOES-19 satellite reported a bright fireball on Saturday, May 30, at 2:06 p.m EDT accompanied by a loud noise. The meteor appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles over northeast MA and southeast NH. The energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT, which accounts for the loud noise. Eyewitness accounts supplied by the American Meteor Society.

should be a much better day Sunday...sunshine and milder for a good chunk of the day...but have to watch for some afternoon showers/thunder around the region. Guidance popping off numerous PM showers/t-storms

New Hampshire got a new coating of snow overnight and it's spectacular. I took this picture from Sugar Hill, with a distant view of Franconia Notch and snow on Mount Lafayette.

Spring snowliage from the White Mountains! — May 30, 2026 Green’s Grant, New Hampshire (Bottom of Mt. Washington Auto Road)

Quite the satellite presentation. Not unheard of in May to get a good coastal low but definitely on the far shoulder of the season

Ooof. 55 mph gust out at Logan. Nasty stuff for the end of May (anytime of year really).

K1VNV-Jim-Ashburnham, MA reporting a snow mix and 37 degrees. #mawx

Pretty quiet right now but a different story midday into the afternoon - very windy, wet and chilly. As the core of strong wind rotates thru, gusts 40 to 55 mph are likely. Some pockets of limb/tree damage, scattered power outages and certainly some messy yards by this evening.

Saturday continues to look pretty miserable. Showers, temps in the 50s and 40-50 mph NE wind gusts? GFS with 50 knot winds not far off the deck Saturday PM 👎👎

They’re slowly torturing us… one ignored call at a time
