DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 2-6)
Simple pattern = simple forecast. Warm front has gone by today and has brought lots of clouds but mild air. Cold front will cross the region during Friday and will be proceeded by very mild air and accompanied by a broken to solid line of showers. High pressure slides west to east across southeastern Canada over the weekend. A north to northeast flow of air will bring fair weather on Saturday and as the wind turns east to southeast Sunday it will become at least cloudy and possibly wet at times. The flow will continue to veer toward the south and southwest by Monday ahead of a cold front so it will warm up again that day but still be on the unsettled side.

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 1-5)
November is here and it follows Boston’s second warmest October on record (by 0.1 degree F). October 1947 retrains the first place ranking. So how do the first days of the new month look? As one would expect, there will be changes from day to day, but nothing outrageous. High pressure which was overhead last night making for areas of frost this morning is slipping away now. A warm front will then approach and pass through on Thursday with more cloudiness although most rain will remain west and north of the forecast area. A cold front will follow this later Friday and will be more notable for its being preceded by very mild air and followed by a weekend chill. At this point, Saturday looks like the weekend pick with fair weather as high pressure noses in from the north, but this high will slide east far enough to bring an onshore wind at the same time a weak disturbance moves in on Sunday, which will turn less favorable.
THIS AFTERNOON: Mostly cloudy. Highs 48-53 interior higher elevations, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Slight chance of light rain mainly north and west of Boston. Lows 43-48. Wind light SE.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of light rain through early afternoon mainly north and west of Boston. Highs 63-68 occurring late in the day. Wind light SE shifting to SW and increasing to 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 53-58. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Slight chance of passing rain showers. Highs 63-68 South Coast, 68-73 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of light rain. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to middle 50s.
