An always-remarkable-to-behold transition is occurring in the strengthening storm well offshore New England - a discernible center has developed & the storm& #39;s core is starting to warm. A warm core is typical of tropical systems, so this is often a signal of a hybrid creature.
What this means for New England is unchanged from the forecast you& #39;ve seen on @nbc10boston and @necn this morning - this hybrid transition was forecast and expected, it& #39;s just always breathtaking, at least to Yours Truly.
Today& #39;s rain pattern has been somewhat of patchwork, as a "downsloping," drying northwest wind at the surface does battle with the ocean moisture in the middle levels of the atmosphere, but in the end, the moisture will win out, particularly when the surface wind shifts.
