DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 6-10)
Those exercising their right to vote today and otherwise traveling about to work, school, or wherever, will have to deal with unsettled weather today as a low pressure system tracks northwest of the region and drags a warm front across the area slowly during the day then a faster-moving cold front from west to east early this evening. Between this departing low and an approaching area of high pressure will come a period of wind on Wednesday, though it will be fairly mild with the cooler air slow to arrive. It will take until Thursday for that, a cooler but tranquil day under high pressure, and setting up a cold night with mainly clear sky and light wind with low dew point temps. After the chilly start Friday, clouds advance quickly and it will be wet by later in the day, but this system will be moving right along and exiting early Saturday, which, like last Saturday, will turn quite windy. Forecast details…
TODAY: Overcast with areas of fog and drizzle morning. Cloudy with scattered then numerous rain showers arriving from west to east this afternoon, some with heavy downpours and a slight risk of thunder. Watch for local street flooding and also slippery areas where there are leaves on roads and walks. Highs 60-67 occurring late-day. Wind light variable morning, S increasing to 10-20 MPH this afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening with rain showers ending. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 45-52. Wind S 5-15 MPH evening, W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts overnight.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind W 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 32-39. Wind W 15-25 MPH early, diminishing overnight.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind light NW to light variable.
FRIDAY: Early sun then clouding over. Chance of rain by late afternoon and night. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.
SATURDAY: Early rain shower possible otherwise sun/clouds, becoming windy. Temperatures steady in the 40s through day falling to 30s night.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 11-15)
Veterans Day Sunday November 11 will be bright and chilly as high pressure dominates. The November 12-13 period is being watched for unsettled weather in which 1 or 2 low pressure systems will likely impact the region. Neither look major, but it may be cold enough so that we’ll be seeing some snow involved along with rain for at least parts of the region. Fair, chilly weather dominates after that.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 16-20)
This is expected to be a drier period with temperatures starting below normal followed by some moderation.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 5-9)
New week, same pattern as last week. We’ll hear from 3 wet weather systems over the next 5 days. The first will be low pressure passing south of the region later today and tonight, the second will be low pressure passing northwest of New England via the Great Lakes Tuesday and Tuesday night, and the third will be a low pressure area probably taking a similar track to the second one, approaching later Friday. Between systems 1 and 2, we will have to watch where a boundary ends up, regarding the temperature forecast for Tuesday, but leaning milder over cooler for Tuesday at this time with the boundary further north than some of the guidance suggest it may stay. Between systems 2 and 3, we’ll have a gusty wind Wednesday as dry air arrives and a dry and more tranquil day Thursday as high pressure crosses the region. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain arriving south to north during the afternoon. Highs 47-54. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of drizzle and fog with periods of rain through evening. Isolated rain showers overnight. Temperatures steady evening, rising to 54-60 overnight. Wind E up to 10 MPH evening, S 5-15 MPH overnight.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Isolated to scattered rain showers morning. Numerous rain showers afternoon including a slight risk of thunderstorms. Heavier rain showers may result in street flooding and slippery conditions when combined with wet leaves so use caution if traveling. Highs 60-67. Wind S 10-20 MPH with a few higher gusts possible.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening with rain showers ending. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 45-52. Wind S 5-15 MPH evening, W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts overnight.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind W 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.
FRIDAY: Clouding over. Chance of rain afternoon and night. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 10-14)
The weekend may start wet early Saturday November 10 but this will be followed by quick clearing and gusty wind with chilly air. Sunday November 11, Veterans Day, will be dominated by high pressure as a breeze diminishes with sun and some high clouds arriving, and it will be on the chilly side. The November 12-14 period is being watched for unsettled weather in which 1 or 2 low pressure systems will likely impact the region. Neither look major, but it may be cold enough so that we’ll be seeing some snow involved along with rain for at least parts of the region. Again, I remind you don’t see the word “snow” and think “snowstorm”. Much time to iron out details. Temperatures continue below normal early next week.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 15-19)
This is expected to be a drier period with temperatures starting below normal followed by some moderation.

7:43AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 4-8)
High pressure dominates today which will be a very nice day to be outside for yard work, etc. Another period of unsettled weather similar to the last one arrives Monday and departs by early Wednesday, with dry weather returning during the middle of the week. Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH morning, light variable afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 25-32 interior lower elevations, 32-39 elsewhere. Wind calm.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Breezy. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 9-13)
Dry start and wet finish to November 9 as another low pressure area moves in. This departs November 10 with a drying trend and windy conditions. Fair, chilly November 11. Watching for the return of unsettled weather that may feature rain and/or snow sometime in the November 12-13 period but this is a low confidence forecast this far in advance. Don’t take the word “snow” to automatically mean “snowstorm”.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 14-18)
Starts unsettled, drier weather then dominates. Temperatures near to below normal.

10:44AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 3-7)
No big changes for this update but I wanted to highlight 2 things. 1) We did luck out a bit on what could have been a more significant severe weather threat early this morning. We experienced some local flooding from torrential downpours and there may be some spot areas of minor wind damage that occurred with the passage of some of these. 2) We are not going to escape a significant wind event this afternoon and evening. Wind gusts above 40 MPH in most of the region will strip a lot of foliage from trees but may also strip branches and in some cases take down entire trees. This presents a danger for travel, so be aware if you are out and about. There will be a power outage threat of course, which goes with this kind of event. But this won’t last long and after we get rid of the winds that announce the change in air masses we are in for a beautiful day on Sunday as high pressure dominates the weather. But the nice weather won’t hang around long either as our active pattern rolls on and as high pressure retreats to the northeast on Monday, in will come another bout of unsettled weather. Another push of warm air will be part of this unsettled stretch that arrives Monday and lasts into Wednesday before the next cold front arrives. Will detail the unsettled period in tomorrow’s update. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy with episodic rain showers including downpours through midday, ending west to east the first half of the afternoon, followed by a cloud/sun mix with a clearing trend. Temperatures fall into the 50s, eventually the upper 40s by late day. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, then W increasing to 15-30 MPH with gusts above 40 MPH likely and gusts above 50 MPH possible, favoring higher elevations and open areas.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 8-12)
Dry and chilly November 8 and start of November 9. Wet end to November 9 and rain showers into November 10 with brief warm-up then turning colder through November 11-12. Should be sunny for November 11 but may turn cloudy by November 12.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 13-17)
Keep an eye out early in the period for a sneaky snow and/or rain event. Fair weather follows. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:11AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 2-6)
A warmer push of air holding some tropical moisture today interacting with a front in the region will create episodic showers and even a few possible thunderstorms, with the greatest push coming late tonight and early Saturday as a wave of low pressure moves by the region. This low will intensify rapidly as it crosses Maine Saturday and pull the front through, bringing a cooler air mass along with period of strong winds into the region later Saturday. High pressure moves for a much more tranquil and very nice day Sunday. But this high won’t hang around and the next area of moisture arrives with a warm front Monday, turning the weather unsettled again. We may enter a very warm air mass by Tuesday if things move along as expected. Forecast details…

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 4)
High pressure sinks south of the region today, a very nice day for both the Red Sox World Series victory parade in the late morning to early afternoon as well as trick-or-treat activities in the evening. A cold front will get closer to the region from the north tonight into Thursday and may get across southern NH into parts of northern MA and hang around through Friday as another front approaches from the west. A couple waves of low pressure will pass by between Friday and early Saturday, which will be the wettest period of weather here. High pressure will push it all away later Saturday and this high will build over the region for tranquil weather by Sunday. Forecast details…

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 3)
A cool high pressure area moves into the region today then sinks to the south Wednesday allow a temperature moderation. The weather looks decent for both the Red Sox World Series victory parade in the late morning to early afternoon as well as trick-or-treat activities in the evening. A cold front will get closer to the region from the north Wednesday night into Thursday and may get across southern NH into parts of northern MA before pushing back to the north by early Friday, which will end up a wet day as a wave of low pressure moves up from the southwest. An additional wave may prolong wet weather into early Saturday before it departs and drier and cooler air overtakes the region. Forecast details…

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 2)
A low pressure system will move across the area today from southwest to northeast bringing rain showers which will end this afternoon. Drier weather arrives tonight and lasts into most of midweek, including Halloween, which now not only has trick or treat scheduled but also a Boston Red Sox World Series victory parade! We have a quick shot of warmer air Thursday as November arrives, but an approaching cold front will bring wet weather Thursday night into Friday as we transition back to cooler. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mainly cloudy with episodic rain showers, a few possibly heavy, with a slight chance of thunderstorms, ending during the afternoon. Partial clearing later in the day. Highs 48-55. Wind S to SE 5-15 MPH morning, SW to W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts afternoon.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 8-12)
Dry and cooler, then moderating. Unsettled weather may return late in the period.

8:10AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 1)
As the days of October dwindle we have entered a transitional pattern, marked by a larger storm system which arrived yesterday and departs today. The storm brought wind and rain, with most of its snow confined to the mountains of northern New England. There were scattered power outages mainly due to fallen aged tree limbs, weighted by saturation and lingering foliage and pushed by some moderate wind gusts. We’re now in-between 2 storm systems, the larger one yesterday and a smaller follow-up that will bring additional wet weather to the region Monday. Today starts damp but not with falling rain, just lingering low level moisture with a low overcast, some fog, and patchy drizzle. It may dry out enough for a few breaks of sun this afternoon but clouds will dominate, although it will turn milder than yesterday was. Beyond Monday’s wet weather, drier conditions return for the final 2 days of October, along with milder air as the large scale pattern places a trough of low pressure in the middle of the US and a ridge of high pressure along the East Coast, reminiscent of the pattern we saw so often during the weeks leading up to the recent chilly spell. In fact, by the time we flip the calendar to November on Thursday, it will be quite mild. Forecast details…
TODAY: This morning overcast with areas of fog and drizzle. This afternoon mostly cloudy with possible breaks of sun. Highs 53-60. Wind light variable this morning, SW 5-15 MPH with a few higher gusts this afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of rain arrive overnight. Lows 40-47. Wind SW to S up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy with periods of rain through mid afternoon. Slight chance of a thunderstorm. Partial clearing west to east late in the day. Highs 48-55. Wind S to SE 5-15 MPH morning, SW to W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts afternoon.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 35-42. Wind W 10-20 MPH and gusty evening, diminishing overnight.
TUESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 50s to lower 60s.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 40s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 2-6)
Pattern during this period as likely to be trough Midwest and ridge just off East Coast. This is a mild pattern for this area with above normal temperatures. Warmest days likely November 2 and 6. Cold front should bring rain showers by later November 2 to early November 3. Disturbance may bring rain early November 4. Mainly dry otherwise.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 7-11)
Same general pattern but with less amplitude, allowing another front to bring wet weather early period, a dry and cooler mid period, and moderating temperatures late in the period with mainly dry weather.

8:53AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 27-31)
Many changes in the final 5 days of October, starting with an East Coast storm of wind and rain today, a milder break between systems Sunday, another wet weather system not nearly as strong on Monday, then drying out and turning milder as we go through the final 2 days of the month, although by Halloween itself an old frontal boundary in the area may bright the slightest threat of a rain shower. Forecast details…
TODAY: Overcast with rain, heavy at times through mid afternoon, diminishing to lighter rain/drizzle late day. Highs 41-48. Wind NE 15-25 MPH, higher gusts above 30 MPH interior and above 45 MPH coastal areas. Coastal flooding probable especially around early afternoon high tide.
TONIGHT: Cloudy with drizzle, areas of fog, and periods of rain. Temperatures steady in the 40s. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of drizzle and a slight chance of a rain shower early. Highs 56-63. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Lows from the middle to upper 40s. Highs from the lower to middle 50s.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs from lower to middle 50s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Slight risk of a rain shower. Lows in the 40s. Highs from the upper 50s to lower 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 1-5)
Mild November 1 with a rain shower risk late and some wet weather on November 2 leading to a cooler/dry November 3 as a bubble of high pressure moves in, but then another quick wet weather threat November 4 before dry air returns November 5.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 6-10)
Fair, milder start to the period, briefly wet, then dry and cooler.

7:15AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 26-30)
A tranquil, chilly day today as high pressure hangs on then gives way to a rapidly advancing low pressure system that will turn into a formidable storm system for the region Saturday along with wind, rain, and some coastal flooding. But this system moves right along and we get into a dry slot with a pretty decent Sunday before a follow-up, weaker system brings more wet weather to the region Monday. Drier air arrives from the west behind the second system on Tuesday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Brightest sun early then filtered sun with more high clouds balance of the day. Highs 44-50. Wind light NW to N.
TONIGHT: Clouding up. Rain arriving south to north by dawn which may start as brief snow/mix interior higher elevations with only minor accumulation possible in highest elevations of southwestern NH. Lows 31-38. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Overcast with rain, heavy at times through midday, diminishing to lighter rain/drizzle during the afternoon. Highs 41-48. Wind NE 15-25 MPH, higher gusts above 30 MPH interior and above 45 MPH coastal areas. Coastal flooding probable especially around early afternoon high tide.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with drizzle, areas of fog, and periods of rain. Temperatures steady in the 40s. Wind SE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of drizzle and a slight chance of a rain shower early. Highs 56-63. Wind S to SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 4)
Halloween looks dry and milder as high pressure dominates. November starts mild with a rain shower risk late November 1 into November 2 before it cools down. Dry, cool November 3. Disturbance brings a rain risk November 4 based on current timing and rather swift movement of systems.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 5-9)
Next rain risk mid period will split an early period chill and quick warm up from a late period cool down once again.

7:20AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 25-29)
A chilly northwesterly flow will dominate the weather across southern New England today and then high pressure builds in for a very chilly night and cool but more tranquil Friday. The “calm before the storm” phrase will live up to its name as we have a coastal low to contend with Saturday that will come up the East Coast and bring a bout of wind and rain. Although this system may start as a mix or snow briefly inland, that will cause no significant issues. What will is the coastal flooding near and during high tide times, especially the Saturday afternoon one, which will likely have moderate impact in vulnerable areas. We enter a zone between 2 systems Sunday, which will likely be rain-free other than some early drizzle. A second low will make a run at the region Monday. I’d been concerned about this one having more cold air to work with and perhaps having a rain/snow line but at this time it looks like that will not be the case, and the system will be the weaker of the two, bringing just some periods of rainfall to start the new week. Forecast details…
TODAY: Filtered sun through mid morning with lots of high clouds, then brighter sun and a few passing clouds late morning through afternoon. Highs 44-50. Wind NW increasing to 10-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 22-28 interior low spots, 29-35 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Bright sun through early afternoon then filtered sun with more high clouds remainder of day. Highs 44-50. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clouding up. Rain arriving south to north by dawn which may start as brief snow/mix interior higher elevations with only minor accumulation possible in highest elevations of southwestern NH. Lows 31-38. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Overcast with rain, heavy at times through midday, diminishing to lighter rain/drizzle during the afternoon. Highs 41-48. Wind NE 15-25 MPH, higher gusts. Coastal flooding probable especially around early afternoon high tide.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of drizzle and a slight chance of a rain shower early. Lows in the 40s. Highs from the middle to upper 50s.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Lows in the 40s. Highs in the 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 3)
A shift to a more progressive west to east flow takes place. Improving but cool weather October 30-31. Dry, milder November 1. Rain shower threat November 2 with a front from the west. Dry, cooling November 3.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 4-8)
A rain risk leads milder air into the region early in the period which hangs on until mid period before a rain shower threat leads a chill back by the end of the period.

7:30AM

QUICK COMMENTARY
I’d love to do a review of yesterday’s weather right here but am pressed for time before I have to send this and be out of the house, so that will appear in segments in the comments by myself (and others I am sure) during the day. In the mean time, onto an abbreviated version of the usual.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 24-28)
Low pressure moving away today is still close enough for lots of cloudiness and perhaps a few rain showers for a while today before dry air takes over and it’s quite breezy and chilly through Thursday. High pressure builds in later Thursday through Friday with continued dry but chilly weather. And then the long-talked-about storm threat arrives as an actual weather event on Saturday as a wind and mostly rain maker, that may start as snow in some interior locations due to lingering cold air (no significant accumulation expected). We get into a break between 2 storm systems by Sunday with less rain and wind by then. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Risk of a few rain showers. Highs 45-52. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 33-39. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 43-49. Wind NW 10-20 MPH and gusty, diminishing late.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs in the 40s.
SATURDAY: Cloudy. Rain arriving, may start as sleet/snow interior briefly. Lows from the lower to middle 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers and drizzle. Lows in the 40s. Highs from the lower to middle 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 2)
A second storm system will pass through the region October 29 with a rain risk that may end as mix/snow in some areas if it lingers into night. Improving weather October 30-31 but windy and chilly a first before moderating slightly. A bit milder to start November but another system brings a rain shower risk by the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 3-7)
A trend to dry and somewhat milder weather for a good portion of this period but may turn unsettled and colder by the end of the period.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 23-27)
Low pressure will cross the region today with unsettled weather, and behind it another batch of autumn chill will arrive for midweek. High pressure maintains control Friday which will be cool but tranquil. Then things change as the first in what appears will be two storm systems moves into the region Saturday. There are still a lot of details to work out with this system, but the earlier idea of it passing largely offshore is abandoned. I think it will arrive, and perhaps fast enough with enough cold air in place to even start as frozen precipitation in some interior locations, but odds very much favor the vast majority of this system being a rain and wind maker.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 1)
We’ll be in the middle of a stormy period October 28 probably between the first system and a second system with some rain showers and breezy conditions, then the second of the expected two systems comes through on October 29 with rain, but rain or snow possible over the interior if precipitation is heavy enough with just enough cold air around – something to watch. Improving weather for the remainder of the period. Temperatures start below normal then recover toward normal.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 2-6)
A weaker disturbance may come through to start the period then it looks like a trend to mainly dry and milder weather as high pressure takes over.
