DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 1)
No changes to the forecast. Up and down on the temps, mainly dry with the weather. Only rain threat for this 5-day period is passing showers Saturday night with a cold front crossing the region.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 2-6)
Transition day October 2 which starts warm, may get wet for a while, and ends cooler as a cold front drops southward out of Canada. High pressure to the north of the region finally settles over the region later in the period, the balance of which will be dry with near to below normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 7-11)
The overall pattern will not have changed too much, but may be “slower”, in that it takes this 5 day period for one warm-up, brief shower threat, cool-down cycle.

  3. Good morning and thank you TK.

    Re-post on last night’s rain: 0.38 in Me Ole Bucket.

    Another beautiful day! Can count how many we have had.

  8. This day in weather history back in 1985 Hurricane Gloria makes landfall in Milford, CT as a category 1 hurricane. Gloria caused the greatest power outage in CT history until Irene in 2011 which was then followed by the October Nor’easter. This was the last hurricane to make landfall in CT.

    1. For me, today is “Monday” as I have Wednesday and Thursday as my days off.
      🙂

      Not to mention Sunday for me is “hump day”! 🙂

  11. A belated thanks TK.

    0.74″ the final number in my rain gauge for last night….the soccer stuff is still drying out! 3.73″ total now on September following 6.88″ in August and 4.24″ in July.

    Up to 44.22″ total on the year. If it did not rain another drop the rest of the year, we would still end up with average precip on the year.

    Not sure if my area is an anomaly or not as I did not check where the other official SNE reporting stations are at as a comparison. But needless to say, we are not on drought watch yet, which is good if we are indeed heading into an extended drier period.

  12. I snapped this cool picture this AM of the field across the street from me. Cooler temps + wet grass from last night’s rain + the warm sun hitting it created condensation and some ground fog:

    Almost looked like the grass was smoldering.

    1. Beautiful. Thanks for sending. I have a friend in Great Falls. That city goes through wild gyrations in temperature and precipitation types in spring and fall. I’m sure Great Falls will have days in the 70s in October.

    2. This is their time when they are going to get early stuff. Late September to late November and again coming out of winter into early spring are their big snow times. In between it can get really warm. People think New England has big swings? Nothing like theirs. Mid winter, they tend to be drier.

      1. I was reading a winter forecast from “On The Snow” which has some mets who forecast for the ski industry and they said the same thing…early season and late season is when the West will rack up the most snow. Interestingly, they said the same thing for the Northeast ski resorts as well.

        They projected near normal snow amounts for the northern Rockies ski resorts, slightly above normal for southern Rockies, and near normal snow for the Northeast ski areas.

        Their thought was that there would still be several incoming Pacific storms focused more north early then shifting south as the season wore on. Not the constant train of storms last year brought though with the absence of El Nino.

  19. I love snow but I want to enjoy the fall and the display of fall colors. Once the leaves fall and they are raked bring on the snow. I saw first hand back in October 2011 with fully leafed trees and a foot of heavy wet snow did and it was not pretty.

  20. Fixed the stupid date error on yesterday’s blog that was driving me nuts but I kept forgetting to fix.

    Anyway, doesn’t matter because there’s a new post! 😛
