DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 22-26)…
Significant change from today to tomorrow brought on by the passage of a cold front this evening. Today’s mild, cloud-filled and somewhat humid day with a chance of rain showers and even a thunderstorm will be replaced by bright, chilly, crisp weather tomorrow. Nice weather to start the weekend but another front will cross the region early Sunday with clouds and a rain shower threat before fair weather returns. High pressure builds in with fair and cool weather Monday.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Areas of light fog this morning. A few breaks of sun mainly this afternoon. Isolated rain showers mid afternoon on from west to east. Risk of a heavier shower with thunder late. Somewhat humid. Highs 65-73. Wind S to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clouds and lingering rain showers mainly Cape Cod early, otherwise clearing. Lows in the 40s. Wind shifting to W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-53. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
SATURDAY: Sunny start, mostly cloudy finish. Lows 25-35. Highs in the 50s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy with passing rain showers morning then a sun/cloud mix. Lows around 50. Highs around 60.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs around 50.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 27-31)…
Fair October 27. Threat of unsettled weather with a frontal system passing by October 28-29. Fair weather returns late in the period. Temperatures below normal early in the period, above normal mid period, near normal late period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 1-5)…
Fairly dry pattern with changeable temperatures.

Working on a comment issue. Will update as soon as possible.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 21-25)…
Frontal boundary slipped to the south overnight and will remain there today, making today cooler and more cloudy than yesterday. A reversal tomorrow will put southeastern New England back into the warmer air before a cold front sweeps through from the west in the evening returning a chilly air mass to the region by Friday. A second front will rapidly cross the region Sunday and looks like it may have quick enough movement to be through the region on the earlier side.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy. A sprinkle of rain possible at times. Highs upper 50s to lower 60s. Wind light NE.
TONIGHT: Mainly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 50-55. Wind light variable.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 4)…
Generally dry and milder than average.

7:23AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 20-24)…
Northern jet stream stays dominant with generally fast-moving systems, but the orientation of a front keeps it nearby for 3 days with lots of clouds but only a slight chance of rain showers through Thursday but temperatures that will vary somewhat as the front wavers back and forth. A cold front from the west will sweep through Thursday night, returning cool and bright weather late week.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Slight risk of rain showers. Highs in the 60s. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Slight risk of rain showers. Lows around 50. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 3)…
Again no major changes to the dry pattern with variable but overall milder than average temperatures.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 19-23)…
Work week will be largely dry (again) with a cold start and a milder middle and end, though some variability in temperature will be noted mid to late week after a mid week warm up. Part of this will be due to a front that drops out of Canada and wavers around the region from late Tuesday into Thursday. This front will never produce more than a few showers, however.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 46-53. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts this morning.
TONIGHT: Increasing high clouds. Lows around 40 early then rising through the 40s. Wind light W to SW.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 56-63. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Risk of a few showers. Lows 45-55. Highs 55-65.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs 65-75.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs 55-65.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 24-28)…
Will watch a trough to the south early in the period but for now the chance of it impacting the region in any meaningful way is pretty low, so it looks like the overall dry pattern continues with temperatures changeable with passing fronts but overall near to above normal for this period.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 2)…
Dry overall pattern with temperatures near to above normal as we head toward early November.

7:41AM

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 16-20)…
No big changes. Chilly weather coming in, peaks Sunday/Monday before a warm up ensues. Cold front may bring a few showers this morning before dry weather returns. A trough passes through early Saturday but does not get too active, just introduces the next push of chilly air with some cloudiness and a slight risk of a shower of rain/mix in the morning.

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 15-19)…
The stair-stepping downward trend in temperature is underway and will continue as cold fronts pass by midday Friday and again sometime on Saturday. A little uncertainty exists for Saturday, with some hints at a trough sitting over the region for several hours as low pressure quickly develops offshore. If this comes to fruition, then Saturday would be on the unsettled side, at least in part. The coolest air of the season so far arrives this weekend and lasts into Monday when a turn-around will get underway, as the cool shot will be short-lived.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind W to SW 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear early then increasing clouds. Lows 45-52. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 20-24)…
Dry weather with a strong warming trend October 20-22. A few showers early October 23 then fair and cooler for the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 25-29)…
Mainly dry weather. Temperatures near to mostly above normal.

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 14-18)…
It’ll be about the temperature changes more than anything as the only real chance of precipitation the next 5 days is the first 2/3 of Friday from one of a series of cold fronts that causes a downward temperature trend.
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs in the 60s. Wind W 5-15 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy evening. Clearing overnight. Lows in the 40s. Wind WNW 5-15 MPH and gusty.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 19-23)…
Dry with a cold start October 19 then a warming trend gets underway and lasts through October 22. Frontal system late in the period may bring a few showers and a switch back to cooler.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 24-28)…
Overall pattern remains mostly dry with variable temperatures averaging out close to normal.

3:58AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 13-17)…
Low pressure wave moving north northeastward will pass just east of Cape Cod by midday today, bringing showers mainly this morning especially to southeastern MA. Cold front number 1 will pass through from west to east this evening with a risk of rain showers in a couple of waves, but they will likely be weakening as they move through, limiting rainfall. Cold front number 2 will pass through from northwest to southeast later Wednesday but will bring mainly cloudiness and probably no precipitation. Cold front number 3 will be due by the middle of Friday, accompanied by rain showers. Cold front number 4 is expected to charge through the region Saturday with a few rain showers. And of course, certainty and timing confidence decreases slightly the further out in time you go so watch for updates.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy morning with occasional rain showers, best chance over southeastern MA including possible brief downpours and a slight risk of thunder. Partly sunny afternoon with isolated showers. More humid. Highs upper 60s Cape Cod and South Coast, 70s elsewhere. Wind variable 5-15 MPH morning, S to SW 10-20 MPH afternoon.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Scattered rain showers through about midnight. Lows in the 50s. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly to mostly cloudy afternoon. Highs in the 60s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs around 60.
FRIDAY: AM showers. PM clearing. Lows in the 40s. Highs around 60.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of a rain shower. Lows around 40. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 18-22)…
Dry and relatively cold October 18. Continued mainly dry with a significant warm-up October 19-22, however a rain shower risk comes very late in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 23-27)…
Rain shower risk very early in the period otherwise mainly dry weather with variable temperatures averaging out somewhat above normal.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 12-16)…
If you are lucky enough to have today off, you win, especially if you planned something outside. A little bit of Summer will linger in the air as high pressure to the south sends a warm southwest wind across the region. Still watching a low pressure area that will travel out to sea to the south but close enough for some clouds and perhaps a shower over Cape Cod early Tuesday. The rest of the region will have to wait for a passing cold front to bring a shower threat later Tuesday, but that does not look very widespread. Fair weather returns for midweek with a cooling trend behind the cold front. Another disturbance will move rapidly across the region Friday with a few more showers possible.
TODAY – COLUMBUS DAY: Sunny. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 75-80 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows in the 50s. Wind SW to S 5-15 MPH early becoming variable.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers Cape Cod early. Risk of showers elsewhere later in the day. Highs 60-65 Cape Cod, 65-70 elsewhere. Wind variable 5-15 MPH morning, S to SW 10-20 MPH afternoon.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 60s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 17-21)…
A dry but very cool weekend October 17-18. Fair with a warming trend October 19-21.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 22-26)…
Mainly dry weather continues with variable temperatures heading into late month.

8:13AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 11-15)…
High and some middle cloudiness overnight prevented temperatures from falling to their potential lows and therefore frost was isolated in the lowest-lying inland areas. The great weekend weather continues today through Columbus Day Monday as we enter the warm-up phase on an increasing west to south wind. Low pressure passes offshore and a weak cold front slides through from the west Tuesday with a few showers possible, then it’s back to fair weather with a cool-down for Wednesday and Thursday.
TODAY: Filtered sun with variable high cloudiness morning, brighter sun with a few high clouds afternoon. Highs 65-70 except 60-65 deepest valleys. Wind W to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 45-50 valleys, 50-55 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY – COLUMBUS DAY: Sunny. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 75-80 elsewhere. Wind SW to S 15-25 MPH.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows in the 50s. Highs 65-75.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 40s. Highs 55-65.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 35-45. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 16-20)…
Fair and cool October 16. Possible rain/snow showers October 17, dry October 18, unseasonable chill. Fair with a warming trend October 19-20.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 21-25)…
Up and down temperature pattern with a warmer start and colder finish possible, with perhaps a threat of unsettled weather briefly around temperature transition from warmer to colder.

9:56AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 10-14)…
A fabulous Columbus Day Weekend as high pressure slides in from the northwest today, crests over New England tonight and early Sunday, then slides off to the south later Sunday and Monday. High pressure brings more weather than many realize, and we’ll see that the next 3 days, with a cool gusty breeze today as the ground dries out from yesterday’s showers and plenty of sun shines, though a few fair weather clouds will pop up and float across the sky in parts of the region as the sun heats the moisture lifting off the ground. We’ll see patches of high cloudiness at times as well crossing the sky from northwest to southeast especially tonight and part of Sunday as it starts to warm up aloft. But tonight, it will be clear enough and calm enough with high pressure moving overhead for good radiational cooling and areas of frost forming. Beyond the holiday weekend comes a cold front with just a risk of passing showers Tuesday. Low pressure to the south will track northeastward and pass well offshore with no impact. Another high pressure area moves in Wednesday with dry and nice October weather.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-60. Wind NW 15-25 MPH through midday, diminishing this afternoon.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Areas of frost especially valleys, swamps, bogs, and other relative low areas. Lows in the 30s except 40-45 urban areas and immediate shore. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-70. Wind light W early then WSW increasing to 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 43-48 interior valleys, 48-53 elsewhere. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY – COLUMBUS DAY: Sunny. Highs 70-75 South Coast, 75-80 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Lows 55-62. Highs 68-75.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 45-52. Highs 58-65.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 15-19)…
A chill-off with fair weather October 15-16 and a few rain/snow showers possible October 17-18. Temperature moderation with fair weather October 19.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 20-24)…
In contrast to what I thought recently, the pattern will still be dominated by a northern jet stream but it will be a little more amplified in a ridge West, tough Northeast configuration, which points to cooler than normal temperatures and a few episodes of unsettled weather, but no major storms. Will refine this with time.
