DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 3-7)
I was too optimistic with my “partly sunny” for today on yesterday’s forecast. Low level moisture hangs tough and with no strong push of dry air to scour it out we’ll take most of the day to dry the air out even to go from overcast and damp with areas of fog to just mostly cloudy. But at least the heavy rain is gone. So there’s a plus. We do get a very weak high pressure area to move offshore by tomorrow with a warm-up which is still expected, then a cold front to come through with no more than a few showers during the late day and evening hours. A cooler high pressure area will build across eastern Canada and northern New England Friday and Saturday with cooler air here, especially Friday, but as the high sinks to the southeast during the course of the weekend, a warm-up arrives, especially by Sunday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy and damp with areas of fog morning. Mostly cloudy and drying out afternoon. Highs 62-68. Wind light N.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog interior low elevations. Lows 52-58. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 72-78. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy with a shower possible early. Lows 52-58. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 60-66. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 8-12)
Looks like high pressure will be dominant surface and aloft with dry weather and above normal temperatures through the middle of this period then a trough from the west will try to knock the high down and bring some unsettled weather by later in the period.
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 13-17)
A more changeable period of weather is expected as a flatter flow brings a series of low pressure waves across the region west to east. But high pressure will still be off the Atlantic Coast and the tropics may be active again so that may be another thing to keep an eye on toward the middle to end of the period.
