7:35AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 26-30)…
Bright but a November feel today as a fresh supply of cold air flows out of Canada while high pressure centered over east central Canada slides eastward. This high heads into the Maritime Provinces on Thursday as low pressure coming out of the Great Lakes approaches New England from the west. There has been some talk about snow/sleet being part of this system as it arrives, and this is still a valid possibility, but the most likely areas to see brief frozen precipitation will be higher elevations of southwestern NH and Worcester County MA, westward. Any flakes in the air as far east of I-495 would be brief at best. This will be largely a rain event, most of it will be Thursday night, and some of it may be heavy as low pressure redevelops over southern New England before heading into the Gulf of Maine Friday. This will initiate a drying trend on Friday although it will likely be windy and on the cool side. Look for a front to sit nearby over the weekend and bring the risk of some unsettled weather, which may stay largely to the north of the region depending on the position of the front. Will fine-tune that part of the forecast in the next couple days.
TODAY: Mostly sunny.Highs 46-53. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear to partly cloudy. Lows 28-38. Wind light N to NE.
THURSDAY: Clouding up morning. Rain develops west to east and may start as a brief period of snow/sleet especially well northwest and west of Boston favoring higher elevations. Highs 44-52. Wind light NE to E.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 5-9)…
Pattern trends dry and milder during this period.

7:25AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 25-29)…
Chilly northerly air flow makes it feel a little more like November than late October today and Wednesday. An approaching low pressure area from the west runs into lingering cold air and depending on the timing, the rain that it will bring Thursday may begin as a period of snow/sleet in some locations, mainly northwest and west of Boston. Regardless it turns out as a rain event for the remainder of its passage which will linger into Friday before some improvement for the start of the weekend.

Very short update. More detail in the comments later.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 22-26)…
Broad low pressure traverses the region today and brings more showers in the wake of last night’s regional deluge and thunderstorms. Tonight and Sunday turns drier, very windy, and cool, and this is reinforced early next week behind a disturbance that may bring some additional showers Sunday night to parts of the region.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 1-5)…
Mild at first, then a few rain showers followed by a trend back to cool.

7:15AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 21-25)…
And unsettled transition from relatively warm and quite humid air today to much cooler and drier air by the end of the weekend, as described in the previous entry, so no significant changes to this one. Quite foggy in many areas to start today, waves of showers increasing as the day goes on, into tonight. Additional showers possible Saturday from the passing upper level low pressure area. By Sunday it’s fully into the chilly, drier pattern into early next week.
TODAY: A little early sun parts of South Shore to Cape cod otherwise cloudy. Areas of fog especially this morning. Episodes of rain showers becoming more frequent afternoon. Heavy downpours possible. Humid. Highs 62-70. Wind SE to S 10-20 MPH.

Some unsettled weather possible early in the period then turning drier. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 20-24)…
Warm front approaches later today and brings increasing clouds followed by a rain risk tonight. Mild and more humid air pushes in overnight into Friday along with additional rain showers, then a chance of more significant rain in parts of the region from a combination of an approaching cold front and tropical moisture from the south later Friday and Friday night. Intensifying low pressure moving into eastern Canada over the weekend will cause a transition to windy and cooler weather. A few showers may still be around on Saturday as the upper level low pressure area has to pass by. Will watch a possible disturbance for Monday with at least some cloudiness and possibly a risk of a little rain but this system may never materialize fully.
TODAY: Sun dominates the morning. Increasing clouds midday/afternoon Chance of rain showers by late afternoon. Highs 60-68. Wind light NE.

Windy, cool, dry weather October 25-26 then fair with moderating temperatures mid period followed by a rain shower risk late in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 3)…
The pattern may turn a little more unsettled during this time but unsure of any detail this far in advance.

7:13AM

KING TIDES…
I’m a little behind with this having not been feeling well, but I wanted to address the ongoing King Tides, which are actually ending after today for this cycle, though will repeat again during the November 14-17 period during the next full moon. The King Tides are the highest tides of the year resulting from an alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. The King Tides this year are also coming at a time when the moon as at its closest to Earth in 48 years, making them even more impressive. These tides run around 2 feet above the normal high tide, and will result in coastal flooding even in tranquil weather. The November King Tides will be slightly higher than these October ones. Hopefully they will not coincide with storminess, especially moderate or strong onshore wind.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 19-23)…
The warm front that was expected to be slow getting through eastern MA and southeastern NH on Tuesday was even slower than expected, not clearing the entire region until early at night. Many of these areas experienced their highest temperatures of the day well after sunset. And now a weak cold front will slide southward with some clouds early today, though even behind this front it will still be quite warm. It will take until Thursday to be somewhat cooler as the wind turns more to the northeast, but by that time the front will already be making a come-back as a warm front and bring cloudiness and a chance of rain showers by later Thursday. Another cold front will approach from the west on Friday, and ahead of it some tropical moisture from a system to the south may get drawn northward, bringing the chance of some significant rain to the region. I’m not 100% sold on this idea yet, but will monitor it. The front itself should produce some decent rain showers Friday night. By the weekend, we’ll be in a drier, much cooler air mass, with moderate to at times strong and gusty northwest wind, and it will feel quite seasonably chilly.
TODAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs 74-82. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-56. Wind light W becoming variable.
THURSDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of rain showers by mid to late afternoon. Highs 60-68. Wind light NE.

SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Windy. Lows 42-50. Highs 57-64.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Windy. Lows 35-43. Highs 54-61.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 24-28)…
Risk of light rain October 24. Windy, cool, dry October 25. Fair with moderating temperatures October 26-28.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 2)…
The pattern may turn a little more unsettled during this time.

7:32AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 18-22)…
Warm front lifts through the region this morning and introduces weather that will remind you of summer with warmth and some humidity. Weak cold front drops through in the early hours of Wednesday with a few showers, and it dries the air out a little but doesn’t cool it much of Wednesday, which will still have a bit of a summer feel. More legitimate cool air sinks in Thursday from the Canadian Maritimes, but the front will try to make a come back as a warm front later Thursday into Friday but the parent low pressure will start to combine with offshore low pressure and send a more significant area of rain into the region during Friday. All of this should move offshore Friday night and set up a drier, windy, cooler Saturday.
TODAY: Clouds dominate early along with a few isolated showers, then sun appearing from south to north later morning through afternoon. Last place to see sun northeastern MA and NH Seacoast. Highs 75-82. Wind light E shifting to SW then increasing to 5-15 MPH.

7:19AM

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 17-21)…
A weak cold front sits nearby today then lifts back to the north as a warm front by early Tuesday. This allows significant warmth through Wednesday. Another front will cool it down by Thursday.
