DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 4-8)
An active early November pattern has established, but it’s a fast-flow aloft with quick-moving systems. One such went by last night with a batch of showers and even some embedded thunderstorms around. Today’s weather behind that will be windy, chilly, but dry, with strongest wind through early afternoon before it starts to ease later in the day. But it stays breezy as the next system approaches and the wind flips from northwest to southwest Wednesday. Another quick-moving low will pass to our north Wednesday night with a round of rain showers, and Thursday’s weather will remind you much of today’s behind that one. And on we roll with another wind shift to southwest and a slightly milder day Friday, with the next low pressure system making a run into the region later Friday night and early Saturday with additional rain showers. Clearing may be a little stubborn or fail to occur on Saturday as the frontal boundary become parallel to the upper flow, the latter of which will be turning a bit more southwesterly. Currently, I do expect the rain threat to end, clearing or not, for that afternoon, but I’ll keep an eye on it as it wouldn’t take much additional bending of the upper air pattern to keep the rain shower threat going.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 49-56. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, gusts 35-50 MPH, strongest over higher elevations and in exposed coastal areas.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 50-57. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely. Lows 40-47. Wind SW 5-15 MPH shifting to NW with higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 29-36. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Sun followed by clouds. Highs 50-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.,
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Rain showers likely late night. Lows 42-49. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers in the morning. Highs 50-57. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 9-13)
Next low pressure area brings a rain chance November 9 to end the weekend, favoring the afternoon. Watching for a quick shot of colder air early next week – mainly dry and windy but can’t rule out a passing shower of mixed precipitation or snow with the advance of the colder air. Temperatures moderate slightly but some unsettled weather opportunity returns later in the period with low pressure heading for the Great Lakes.
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 14-18)
Primary storm track into Great Lakes, but if systems are strong enough / far enough east we need to watch for redevelopment or even cut-off with any system. Too early to say which day(s) would be most likely to feature unsettled conditions, just the overall pattern to keep an eye on during this period with more detail to be figured out in time.
Good morning and thank you TK

Up to 45 from a low of 41. Wind gusting into mid 30s.
Nice 5 JPD. Waited till this am to finish and ended with a 4.
Very good!

Thank you TK!
Thanks TK !
Iโve got the first round of waters in the caboose today, Wordle: 6
Brief 10 minute wind whipped heavy rain shower last night.
You and I must enjoy the caboose accommodations, even though I was upgraded today. Get em tomorrow!!!
I try to stay near the middle of the train with something like the four that I got today.

Nice accommodations there and nice job today.
I do NOT like the rear of the train accommodations! Not at all!!!
Ha! Love it. Very Nice 4.
Does that come in a can?
Ready Whipped Rain
Thanks TK
Thanks TK.

ha ha ha Keep em coming. It will be awhile longer for sure.
Question of the day does Boston end its streak of not having a 6 plus inch snowstorm this winter? If yes what month?
I am going to say middle of January
I wouldn’t even venture a guess. Could come sooner than you think, then again, it may not come at all again.
I like Dec 9 timeframe but January 7 works too
Probably Easter Sunday!!!
Thank you TK!
Wordle: 5 after a dumb mistake on my part.
I have company at 5. yes I wasted a guess using a letter
that was NOT in the solution. Stupid as well, ๐

Worst of the wind looks to come in the wee hours of Thursday morning. With the winds being projected by the 12z HRRR power outages are in play.
12Z HRRR wind gusts in KNOTS, Valid 2 AM Thursday morning.
Take knots and multiply by 1.15078 to mph.
40 knots = 46 mph
50 knots = 57.4 mph
60 knots = 69 mph
https://ibb.co/vCwXTMXn
That surely looks awfully windy!!!
I say NO to this!!!
JpDave does that qualify as a HOLY CRAP BATMAN for that wind potential?
Last week on Halloween in CT we peaked at about 6500 power outages with 30-40 mph wind gusts. The winds earlier Thursday morning will be stronger possibly leading to more power outages.
No, I wouldn’t say so. I reserve that for big snow storms.
Or a tornado or a really vicious thunderstorm.
I reserve the right to change my mind during the event. ๐ We’ll see how it goes. Often these events are over stated. We shall see.
Could we at least get an “UNHOLY CRAP BATMAN!”?
he he he
Well done !
Thanks TK.
A few flakes in the air on the Killington North Ridge cam. Going to look like a blizzard there tomorrow night with 1-3″ of snow expected and wind gusts to hurricane force.
https://www.killington.com/the-mountain/conditions-weather/webcam/north-ridge-cam/
Looks like mid winter on the Jay Peak webcams with the mountain 100% covered in natural snow. 6-8″ fell on the summit Saturday.
https://jaypeakresort.com/resort/photo-day
Both resorts still a week or two away from opening day.
Getting there!!!
Thanks TK! My house felt like it was going through a strong car wash for about 30 seconds last night at 10:30 when that line came through.

First two obs are 2 south coastal Newfoundland obs, both experiencing hurricane force gusts and not far from the sub 950 mb mid latitude monster
3rd ob is popular St Johns on the eastern coast.
https://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/newfoundland/weather-radar
First ob is down to 957 mb on the latest ob
Wind is decreased from hurricane force to tropical storm force or perhaps gale force since this is cold core.
With that wind dropping a bit, the center of the low is getting close.
must be taking on a major storm surge with that kind of pressure, which on its own, will raise the ocean level.
now down to 953 mb at St Pierre Airport (1st link ob)
949 mb !!!!!
No surprise high wind watches expanded across sne for tomorrow night Thursday morning

I wish there were or I knew how to get pressure rises for this specific time frame in our general vicinity,
Anyhow, here is the low level 850 mb jet from the 12z HRRR, NAM and GFS. The Euro time frame of every 6 hrs skips that 9z time frame.
Anyway, cold air advection, rapidly deepening low, wonder how much of that will mix down ????

Here’s 925 mb winds at 9z Thursday morning from the GFS
50 knots in Worcester, central Mass, increasing to 55 knots along east coastal Mass.
Thanks, TK!
Thanks Tk . Extremely windy here on the south shore today & had a pounding rainstorm after 10pm last night
Hi everyone!
PM check-in.
Last night’s line was pretty potent, which shows the dynamics we had in play. Something similar is in the cards for tomorrow night. The winds were strong today behind last night’s system, and look like they’ll be even stronger behind the next one. Damaging gusts are becoming quite likely starting about 11 p.m. Wednesday until about sunrise Thursday. I’d expect power outages to be scattered around the region. I’ll expand on this more with tomorrow’s update.
Looking ahead, not much change to the thought process going toward, into, and through the weekend, and into early next week. I am of the opinion that the general guidance is overdone for the cold shot on Tuesday, and while it will be “significant”, we won’t be breaking any records.
That’s it for now!
Didn’t expect that for 1 second.
Hi Temps in the 40s for November is NOT unusual in the slightest, so why do people HYPE this stuff? (NOT HERE!!!).
Yep. Temps will be below normal. Sometimes they’re above. Sometimes they’re near. Kind of funny how that works.
I saw a post that said “winter will begin early next week”.
No, no it won’t. We’ll have a mid autumn shot of chilly air next week. The mid point of autumn occurs on Friday November 7.
Agree totally!
Well said TK!!
I hope that post wasnโt here on WHW.
Nope. Just another fake-caster out on social media. ๐
Tk did you here of possible gustano last night in Bourne
SSK: Perhaps the storm in Bourne was the same cell that TJ DelSanto wrote about.
Thanks, TK!
I found this post from TJ DelSanto from Providence WPRI-Channel 12 about last night’s storms:
Update to Monday evening’s weather: while there was rotation and debris being lofted into the air, we did not receive any reports of significant damage in Barrington or Swansea (I went there myself to look). So, the National Weather Service says, and I concur, that this canโt be labeled a tornado at this time. Instead it is being labeled as a gustnado, which is different from a tornado. There were likely a lot of leaves and small branches being lofted into the air Monday evening. That would have been cool to see in the daytime!
Here’s the radar imprint from Channel 12 from Monday, 10 pm:

Very interesting. Thank you
The moonrise was simply gorgeous this evening!
I just got back from a walk during which I got some nice photos of it. ๐
SPC has interior parts of CT and MA in a level 1 out of 5 risk with the front coming through tomorrow night. The bigger story the strong possibly damaging wind gusts.

Thank you, JJ. Iโm on the cusp but you look to be in the thick of it
Iโm hearing a lot of folks out this way saw this in the sky tonight.
Any idea what it might be
https://ibb.co/DPWKX0HY
Maybe from a rocket launch
Yes, it looks a lot like this:
https://patch.com/new-york/northfork/mysterious-object-reported-ny-skies-tuesday-night-new-details
Space X Falcon 9 rocket fuel dump.
Would that have been last night that SClarke posted too
The article I posted, from August, was about “the Vulcan USSF-106 rocket, launched by United Launch Alliance in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on behalf of the U.S. Space Force.”
Ahhh ok. Sorry
I mistyped that. It was Ariane 6 tonight.
Thank you, sir!
I just saw a very similar photo online from Harvard, MA. The first answer was that it was a comet! ๐
It was good to see someone follow up with the correct answer.
Interesting. I saw a post from the lake Champlain islands too
Lincoln RI too.
The Patriots stood โPATโ today. No additions. ๐
I don’t think they really need to do anything.
I mean, they’re 7-2. Yet people seem to think the team is “broken” somehow. Puzzling.
Itโs the recent injuries at RB and WR.
Stephenson and Boutte
That’s when it’s time for other players to step up. And those guys will be back.
Fact remains: 7-2. They are literally the best team in the NFL through Week 9 (tied with 2 other teams). Why are we trying to fix something that’s not broken?
New post…
