DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 20-24)

The large scale pattern has become a little more dynamic, and the feature that will impact our weather here in southern New England will be a trough of low pressure drifting slowly eastward through the Upper Midwest / Great Lakes into New England over the next several days. Moving through this trough will be a series of low pressure areas and their associated frontal systems. One such low pressure area will crank up just to our west and north today, pushing a front through the region this morning to midday. Ahead of it will be a fairly robust line of widespread convective rainfall, some of it quite heavy, along with the potential for strong (locally damaging) wind gusts and embedded thunder. This band will move through the region from west southwest to east northeast this morning to very early afternoon before exiting. An area of drier air arriving behind it will trigger some partial clearing and we will likely see occasional sunshine for at least some of the region as we move through the afternoon hours. The windy conditions ahead of and during the passage of the convective line will ease up for a while, before a westerly breeze takes over. Look for a small area of high pressure to bring fair weather on Tuesday before the next lobe of low pressure moves through with more showery weather Wednesday. Similarly, a break occurs Thursday (I think shower chances are to our north) before one more trough brings the chance of a passing shower some time on Friday.

TODAY: Overcast through midday with widespread rain showers / downpours and potential thunderstorms. Breaking clouds with intervals of sun developing west to east afternoon. Highs 58-65. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, with the potential for wind squalls of 30 MPH or higher during the morning, becoming variable around 10 MPH for a while then W 5-15 MPH by mid to late afternoon from west to east.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 48-55. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Areas of fog early, otherwise partly sunny. Highs 57-64. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clouding up. Rain showers arrive pre-dawn. Lows 50-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Cloudy with morning rain showers. Breaking clouds midday on with additional rain showers possible. Highs 58-65. Wind SW to W 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH,.

THURSDAY: Sun / cloud intervals. Highs 57-64. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 41-48. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a rain shower. Highs 56-63. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 25-29)

High pressure brings dry weather for the October 25-26 weekend. Low pressure brings the chance for some unsettled weather during the first part of next week.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 30 – NOVEMBER 3)

Large scale pattern features a low pressure trough Great Lakes / Northeast with a couple chances of unsettled weather heading from the end of October to the start of November – details TBD.

  6. Fail, 3, fail is the last 3 days on Wordle for me.

    Oh well, tomorrow …… 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Some days it’s there and some, it isn’t, until you see the word 🙂

    2. Good try for you both. It’s another odd word. Took me till morning again. I usually have it solved by 12:15-12:30. It seems we all go thru spurts where it comes easily and then the word is elusive. Also It’s a string of odd words lately which doesn’t help.

      Your highest average is 4 JPD. I think that is true for the majority. You’ll both get it tomorrow

    1. Thank you Tom, I was just going to post the radar link.
      looks pretty juicy

      So far, I don’t see any lightning.

  8. Light rain started at 7:50am here.

    I got Wordle in three. My second guess had the last letter correct and that really helped.

    1. Great job. I am about ready to give up on this devious game.
      I don’t see words, I see scrambled letters that scramble my brain.

      I am totally with Tom on this.

  9. Rain is just into the 496 belt.

    Frankly, I think a tad behind schedule,, not that it matters.
    We can use the rain whether it gets here in a few minutes or a few hours or anything in between. 🙂 🙂

  10. 0Z Euro had now taken the tropical out of play and sent it on its merry way well out into the Atlantic as a FISH STORM.

    we kind of figured that would happen. 🙂

  11. Thanks TK.

    Heavy rain. 0.34 here so far. Too warm for me to sleep. Seems I’ve moved into the cool nights.

  13. Good grief. I posted 0.34 about 15 minutes ago and it’s now 0.70. Crazy rain but radar shows next to nothing over me.

  19. We have 0.75″ so far.

    The company that my son works for in Littleton has been orchestrating the move of a 77,000 lb particle accelerator to Tampa, FL for months. Everything was scheduled to begin this morning! It wasn’t possible to reschedule because of deadlines and the number of teams involved – riggers, crane operators, truckers, …

  23. Wind picking up here as well. On Meso West I do NOT see any wind to speak of being reported. Are the big wind gusts in between reporting stations? 🙂 🙂 🙂

  28. Vicki – radarscope hosts its data through amazon web services which had issues this morning so a lot of data has not caught up yet. (A lot of websites were effected)

    1. Thank you, Dr S. Very interesting and that makes good sense. I’m glad JPD caught the time stamp.

    1. First time in a while that we have been in on the fun …..still steady rain but nowhere near as intense

    2. Yay!!!

      Bunch of nice solved Wordle today and 2 of us are commiserating in the caboose, but as SClarke stated, Tom and I are still on the train, if only barely today. 🙂 🙂 🙂 I am holding on via a rope and my feet are dragging on the tracks, but I’m still here. 🙂 🙂

  34. Yes, Netflix was affected by the widespread outage on October 20, 2025, which was caused by a denial-of-service attack on the internet service provider Dyn. Users reported experiencing streaming lags, crashes, and connection issues, though some of the problems began to be resolved shortly after they started. Netflix itself stated that some members experienced intermittent disruptions due to the attack and was working with its DNS vendors to mitigate the issue.

    Impact on users: Many users reported problems like lagging, connection issues, and crashes.
    Cause of outage: The problem was attributed to a denial-of-service attack on the internet infrastructure company Dyn.
    Netflix’s response: A Netflix spokesperson confirmed the intermittent disruptions and stated that the company was working with its DNS vendors to address the issue.

    1. Attempted log in

      Looks like there’s a problem with this site

      https://netflix.com/ might have a temporary problem or it could have moved.

      Error code: 504 Gateway Timeout

      The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

        1. Could easily be a different area. We have had 1.51 confirmed by my gauge and a nearby Nws station which are always in synch

  40. Everything on track.

    Looks like the thunder potential is not producing but that was possible, hence the use of the word “potential”.

    Also not much wind. Good news.

    Nothing else to add right now. 🙂

    1. How about a cool down for the rest of the day? I am pretty sure I am down about 1-2F from a couple of hours ago. At least i think so.

  41. JPD all services are back up on my iPad and tv. Grandson said Instacart, zoom, snap chat and others were down too

  42. Longshot, sutton center has 1.81 on Nws site. I’m not surprised as I’ve often said we are like two different weather areas.

  43. Re: Amazon down or whatever it is, our Canvas page is down where essentially all of our classes operate out of, because there are no more text books.

    Increased technology is great to a point, but when it goes down, now everything is affected. Its easier for everything to come to a standstill.

    I know, I’m a dinosaur regarding technology. But in some ways, our lives are affected negatively because of it. I literally can’t get today’s students to want to look up at instruction on the board for even 90 seconds without them wanting to look down at their chromebook. It is scary.

  44. This system has really negatively tilted and I feel like the rain band has moved through a little slower than other similar situations which is really allowing the rain amts to add up.

    1. Concord, NH : 1.03 inches

      Near Conway, NH: 0.53 inches

      Mt Washington : 0.47 inches

      I could be wrong, but I feel like the colors on the south shore got better after the soaking last weekend, but maybe I am wishing it that way.

      1. Awesome. And I was looking out a bit ago and was surprised by what seems to be more vivid color, especially golds

    1. Sounds about right. It hasn’t rained for very long or all that much, at least not where I live in Boston.

      1. As hard as it rained here in Quincy, it didn’t seem to rain all that long either. Too bad as I was hoping for a 1:00 pm end time. By noon it was pretty much done. Maybe even by 11:30.

        1. Absolutely lovely. And a rainbow bridge heading to heaven in the first one. Thank you.

          I was driving so sadly couldn’t get the clouds

  52. Longshot’s sunrise photo reminds me of that old weather saying: “RED Sky in the Morning, Sailors Take Warning.”

    Certainly rang true today, given the circumstances. Spot on!

    1. My father in law who did sail used that phrase too. I always think of him when you mention it. ❤️
