DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 26-30)
The final 5 days of November will be fairly quiet but will start with a winter chill as cold air moves in today and lasts through Monday. A disturbance moving down from Canada may produce a few snow showers as far south and east as central MA and southern NH during this evening, otherwise dry weather is expected for this brief cold shot, and the warm-up that follows it during Tuesday and Wednesday. Another weaker cold front will knock the temperature back a little bit by Thursday.
Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 40-45 hills, 45-50 elsewhere this morning, then falling into the 30s during the afternoon. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Slight chance of snow showers, mainly central MA and southern NH. Lows 25-30. Wind W 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 20-25 interior, 25-30 coast. Diminishing NW wind.
TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 45-52. Wind WSW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 1-5)
A cut-off low pressure area is expected to form over and just off the Northeast Coast, but the lack of cold air means that this would be a rain-producing system and impact the region December 1-2 gradually diminishing and pulling away during December 3. Fair weather would return for the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 6-10)
Zonal flow pattern with quick moving systems, fairly weak, and a couple air mass changes. No major storminess expected during this period.

  3. Thanks TK.

    Also according to Barry, today’s cold has been delayed a bit…but it is coming if not already here.

  4. Dr. Cohen’s reasoning for Boston’s forecast for 64″ of snow is that even though the snow season itself is narrow, the snow events themselves will be intense. If I understand correctly, he is also expecting a number of warm ups that will not allow any snow to stay on the ground for very long.

    This may be quite the winter to say the least! 😉

    1. I think he only has a chance of being right with that if the vast majority of our systems during the milder stretches are still mainly snow.

  5. TK – Would too much blocking result in more inland runners as opposed to coastals? Or if the block is in the “wrong” position for SNE?

        1. I’m feeling this one…..based on absolutely nothing except maybe a bit of forewarning and comments here and there from others

          1. I’ m not feeling anything. I’ll believe it when I See it. We’ve heard this before. It’s coming, it’s coming and it NEVER arrives.

            1. If it were a runner or a cutter it would arrive precisely on schedule to the very minute, if not a few hours early. 😀

    2. Adequately answered by others – stronger blocking forces things even further south in most cases.

    1. I really don’t think we’re going to dump into a pattern that offers chances for meaningful snow until AFTER December 10.

      That doesn’t necessarily mean it will start snowing on December 11. 😉

  9. I have issued the forecast for winter 2017-2018 on a separate post. Feel free to comment there or just read it and comment here. 🙂
