DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 13-17)
High pressure will remain in general control of the weather. It remain on the cool side today then will warm up by the weekend as the air flow turns more southerly Saturday and southwesterly Sunday. During the transition, cloudiness and a few showers are possible for a time on Saturday, and then a cold front will cross the region late Sunday through early Monday with a few showers and a flip to cooler air again.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind light E to SE.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 48-55. Wind light SE.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of rain showers mainly morning RI and eastern MA. More humid. Highs 65-72. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s South Coast, middle 70s to lower 80s elsewhere.
MONDAY: Variably cloudy with a passing shower possible morning. Partly cloudy to mostly sunny afternoon. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
TUESDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs from the upper 50s to middle 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 18-22)
High pressure is expected to dominate with mainly dry weather and a gradual temperature moderation.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 23-27)
High pressure in control early in the period promotes dry/mild conditions followed by a transition to a more up/down temperature pattern with episodes of of wet weather.

  3. Good morning and thank you TK.

    Superb day today is. Love it.

    Made it down to 42.1 at my house in JP at 01:55 AM. By the time I got up
    at 6:45 AM it was up to 43. I thought It would make to the 30s for sure as I am
    certain it did inland. Wonder what Norwood airport was this morning?

  4. I don’t know what it got down to in my neighborhood, but there was frost on the rooftops and some lawns

    2. There was here as well, Ace. SIL had to scrape his car windows. For some reason my wunder app on my phone defaults to norwood. At 6:30 am the reading was 36. It was also 36 in Sutton.

  5. TK can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that “Official” instruments have thermometers at internationally agreed height (for the thermometer bulbs, sensors etc.) of 1.25 m above local ground level or 4.10105 feet. On clear calm nights the temperature
    at the actual ground level (where the frost is) can be several degrees lower.

    OK, now you ask: what about car windows and roof tops, they are NOT at ground level. Excellent question. It is all about heat transfer.

    This explains it pretty well. (Note: this is talking about the freezing point at 0 as in degrees C)

    1. I pulled an all nighter last night lol im beat. Even when you try to avoid it it happens when a proffessor changes the assighnment

  9. Another remarkable occurrence in a very active Atlantic hurricane season today. Ophelia has become a major hurricane just south of the Azores islands. Lot of crazy stuff this season, but this one is truly historic. There are no major hurricanes on record forming anywhere near where this one has formed. Fueled by well above average SSTs and cold air aloft. Lot of talk of climate change influencing hurricanes this year. I generally prefer to wait to make those links, and carefully conducted studies concerning that topic for storms like Harvey and Irma will come out in due time. However, Ophelia is one of a small number of weather events for which I can say definitively, right off the bat, “This is what climate change looks like.” We can be expect more storms like this in the years and decades ahead. This one will pose a significant threat to the western UK.

    4. From Met Erieann, Ireland’s national weather service

      Wind Warning for Galway, Mayo, Clare, Cork and Kerry
      Hurricane Ophelia is expected to transition to a post tropical storm as it approaches our shores on Monday bringing severe winds and stormy conditions . Mean wind speeds in excess of 80 km/h and gusts in excess of 130km/h are expected, potentially causing structural damage and disruption, with dangerous marine conditions due to high seas and potential flooding.
