DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 11-15)
Veterans Day 2018, bright, chilly, and breezy, but at least it’s not wet, and that’s lucky given the frequency of wet days this autumn. That pattern will continue with the next wet weather system Tuesday and perhaps another threat late in the week which I’ll discuss in the second section of the blog. No big changes to anything I said yesterday. The track of Tuesday’s low may be just a touch further southeast but that won’t really have much of an impact on what was going to happen anyway, and that is another good slug of soaking rain. Before the storm’s arrival, it’s interesting to note that smoke from California’s wildfires may give the sky a hazy appearance even before the high cloudiness increases on Monday. Still expecting the coldest air of the season so far to follow Tuesday’s storm. Forecast details…
TODAY (VETERANS DAY): Mostly sunny. Highs 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill below freezing morning, 30s afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 18-26 interior, 27-34 coastal areas and urban centers. Wind light variable.
MONDAY (VETERANS DAY OBSERVED): Smoke-filtered sunshine followed by increasing cloudiness. Highs 43-50. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Thickening overcast. Rain starts pre-dawn, perhaps as a brief mix Worcester Hills and Monadnock region. Lows 32-38. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Overcast. Rain, heavy at times, tapering to lighter rain/drizzle late. Areas of fog. Highs 40-47. Wind NE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts near the coast.
WEDNESDAY: Windy. Sun/cloud mix. Slight risk of a passing snow shower. Temperatures fall into 30s day, 20s night.
THURSDAY: Sunshine and high clouds. Lows in the 20s. Highs from the upper 30s to lower 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 16-20)
Storm threat exists for November 16 but at the moment I’m leaning toward an incomplete connection between the polar and subtropical jet streams with the mean burst of energy missing this area to the southeast and just some rain/snow showers around, fair weather following although breezy and chilly on November 17, then clouds and a risk of light precipitation (possibly mix to rain) November 18 as a disturbance not really seen by guidance yet moves into the region. Fair and slightly milder weather to end the period as the jet stream relaxes and a flat ridge overtakes the East.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 21-25)
Currently expecting important travel/holiday/shopping time to be a fairly quiet stretch of weather with perhaps a weak system bringing light rain at some point around November 23 or 24. Temperatures near to slightly above normal.

10:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 10-14)
Low pressure sits over southern New England this morning and is responsible for the murky start with overcast, drizzle, and areas of fog lingering after last night’s heavier rain has moved away. But a change will take place during the day as the low pressure departs and intensifies fairly rapidly while moving away. A system that does this draws dry air rapidly into the region it just left, and this is often done with plenty of wind. Though the wind will not end up as ferocious as it did a week ago today, you will notice it by afternoon and evening. This wind will also be transporting colder air into the region which you’ll very much feel tonight and early Sunday. So if your city or town is doing Veterans Day ceremonies Sunday morning (some wait until Monday) then prepare for a chill and a lingering breeze. Winds will relax during Sunday as high pressure builds in, and this will set up a more calm but quite cold night Sunday night. For several days we have been keeping an eye on the November 12-14 period for a storm system that may include snow for parts of the region. Don’t worry, I’m not about to forecast a snowstorm. As it is now that these 3 days fall in my DAYS 1-5 period, it’s time for details. And they are that a storm will approach later Monday and there is only the slight risk that the onset of precipitation, if quick enough, may including a bit of snow or mix over interior areas late Monday night. Don’t count on it. The low will track rapidly northeastward right across the region Tuesday with another slug of moderate to heavy rainfall. Snow will be confined to the mountains of northern New England. As the system departs Wednesday, however, it will drag down air cold enough to support snow, but by that time all the moisture will be gone, and all that we’d be left with is the risk of a few passing light snow showers, if they were to survive a trip out of the mountains and hills. Any flakes that do manage to make it into the area that day would be insignificant, but they would mark the arrival coldest air mass of the season so far. But that air mass is coming regardless of the occurrence of any snow showers. Forecast details…
TODAY: Overcast with areas of fog, drizzle, and patchy light rain this morning morning then breaking clouds leading to a midday and afternoon sun/cloud mixture. Temperatures fall from the lower 50s slowly through the 40s. Wind variable 5-15 MPH morning, W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 26-34. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill below 20 at times.
SUNDAY (VETERANS DAY): Mostly sunny. Highs 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts. Wind chill below freezing morning, 30s afternoon.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 18-26 interior, 27-34 coastal areas and urban centers. Wind light variable.
MONDAY (VETERANS DAY OBSERVED): Sunshine followed by increasing cloudiness. Highs 43-50. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: A storm of rain which may begin as a brief mix pre-dawn. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Windy. Sun/cloud mix. Slight risk of a passing snow shower. Temperatures fall into 30s day, 20s night.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 15-19)
Dry and chilly start and end to the period. In the middle we’ll see a front come through with northern jet stream energy and a storm evolving offshore with a combination of northern and southern jet stream energy.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 20-24)
An important period of days with a lot of travel and football games around the Thanksgiving holiday which is November 22, and of course “Black Friday” and all that goes with that. A pattern that is progressive and more northern jet stream dominated should just send a front through the area around November 21 and another later in the period. These would be minor events in comparison to recent ones. Temperatures, though variable, would average closer to seasonal averages.

6:54AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 9-13)
Low pressure will approach from the southwest today then intensify while crossing the region tonight, bringing a good slug of rainfall with it. Though the heaviest of this rain will have exited by dawn Saturday, the day will start out murky as low pressure will be just departing with lots of trapped low level moisture before the drier air arrives. Once it does, it will clear and dry out but get quite windy Saturday. A gusty breeze will continue into Sunday as well but will decrease quite a bit compared to Saturday afternoon, although it will be cooler Sunday, still a very nice Veterans Day. For the observed holiday on Monday it will be dry though clouds will advance ahead of the next system in a series. That one is expected to also bring a good slug of rain to the region Tuesday, that could start as a brief mix if precipitation arrives quickly enough Monday night (long shot chance). Forecast details…
TODAY: Early sun then clouding over. Highs 47-54. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, gusty late in the day.
TONIGHT: Overcast with rain and a slight risk of thunderstorms. Temperatures steady 47-54. Wind E 5-15 MPH, higher gusts coast, shifting to N.
SATURDAY: Cloudy with areas of drizzle and a chance of rain through mid morning., then a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures steady 47-54 early then falling slowly through the 40s. Wind N 5-15 MPH early, then W increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 27-35. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 42-48. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
MONDAY: Increasing cloudiness. Chance of rain at night that may start as mix/snow. Lows from the middle 20s to lower 30s. Highs in the 40s.
TUESDAY: Overcast. Rain likely. Temperatures steady in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 14-18)
Windy and colder with a few snow showers possible otherwise dry November 14. Dry and cold but more tranquil November 15 under high pressure. Weak system brings a risk of a few rain/snow showers at some point between later November 16 and early November 17 followed by dry and seasonably chilly weather to end the period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 19-23)
This is Thanksgiving week and so far the early look is for mainly dry weather to start and end it with a front passing by about mid week with a risk of rain showers. Temperatures closer to seasonal averages overall.

7:16AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 8-12)
No big changes for this update, just some fine-tuning in the short term. High pressure arrives today and hangs on until early Friday with fair weather, then a low pressure area advances rapidly into the region by late Friday producing a quick but strong pulse of wet weather Friday night ending very early Saturday. Winds pick up Saturday behind this departing storm system as it intensifies and another area of high pressure approaches. This high will bring fair weather for the balance of the weekend including into Monday which is an observed Veterans Day holiday for some after the actual holiday on Sunday. Dry but chilly weather will be in place for observances on either day. By late Monday, however, clouds will arrived in advance of the next storm system as the active weather pattern continues. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind light NW to light variable.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 28-36. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Early sun then clouding over. Chance of rain by late afternoon. Highs 47-54. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, gusty late in the day.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Overcast with rain and a slight risk of thunderstorms. Temperatures steady 47-54. Wind E 5-15 MPH, higher gusts coast, shifting to N.
SATURDAY: Cloudy with areas of drizzle and a chance of rain early morning, then a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures falling slowly through the 40s. Wind N 5-15 MPH early, then W increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 20s to middle 30s. Highs in the 40s.
MONDAY: Increasing cloudiness. Chance of rain at night that may start as mix/snow. Lows from the middle 20s to lower 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 13-17)
Storm system impacts the region Tuesday looking like mainly a rain event but have to watch interior higher elevations for mix/snow possibility. Cold air arrives November 14 with a risk of a few snow showers otherwise dry/windy. Dry/cold but tranquil November 15. Minor system may produce a few rain/snow showers later November 16 to early November 17 with only slight moderation in temperature.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 18-22)
This currently looks like a fairly dry period with more seasonable temperatures, just a frontal passage around November 21 with a few rain showers.

7:00AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 7-11)
Departing low pressure and approaching high pressure will result in an increasing breeze but dry and fairly mild weather during today. Cooler air arrives with high pressure Thursday, which will be a nice day. A chilly night as high pressure is overhead Thursday night but this high quickly departs Friday as low pressure approaches from the southwest in a pattern somewhat similar to late last week, with a period of wet weather, followed by a weekend that is damp turning dry and windy Saturday and fair and more tranquil Sunday, which is Veterans Day. Though some areas hold their observances the next day, there are some cities and towns doing it on the Sunday, including Woburn, and the conditions will be dry but chilly for those ceremonies. Forecast details…
TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind W 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 32-39. Wind W 15-25 MPH early, diminishing overnight.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind light NW to light variable.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 28-36. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Early sun then clouding over. Chance of rain by late afternoon and night. Highs 47-54. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, gusty late in the day.
SATURDAY: Early rain shower possible otherwise sun/clouds, becoming windy. Temperatures steady in the 40s through day falling to 30s night.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 20s to lower 30s. Highs in the 40s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 12-16)
The next in a series of storm systems will impact the region late November 12 to November 14, with a risk of snow/mix/rain from the night of November 12 into November 13. It’s very early but any mix/snow would favor the interior if it were to occur with rain more likely closer to the coast. A much colder air mass arrives as the system departs with snow showers possible November 14 then fair weather November 15. Weaker system may bring rain/snow showers by November 16 but timing uncertain.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 17-21)
A less stormy pattern here, with dry weather to start and end the period and a minor system with light precipitation mid period. Temperatures below normal.

7:30AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 6-10)
Those exercising their right to vote today and otherwise traveling about to work, school, or wherever, will have to deal with unsettled weather today as a low pressure system tracks northwest of the region and drags a warm front across the area slowly during the day then a faster-moving cold front from west to east early this evening. Between this departing low and an approaching area of high pressure will come a period of wind on Wednesday, though it will be fairly mild with the cooler air slow to arrive. It will take until Thursday for that, a cooler but tranquil day under high pressure, and setting up a cold night with mainly clear sky and light wind with low dew point temps. After the chilly start Friday, clouds advance quickly and it will be wet by later in the day, but this system will be moving right along and exiting early Saturday, which, like last Saturday, will turn quite windy. Forecast details…
TODAY: Overcast with areas of fog and drizzle morning. Cloudy with scattered then numerous rain showers arriving from west to east this afternoon, some with heavy downpours and a slight risk of thunder. Watch for local street flooding and also slippery areas where there are leaves on roads and walks. Highs 60-67 occurring late-day. Wind light variable morning, S increasing to 10-20 MPH this afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening with rain showers ending. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 45-52. Wind S 5-15 MPH evening, W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts overnight.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind W 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 32-39. Wind W 15-25 MPH early, diminishing overnight.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 47-54. Wind light NW to light variable.
FRIDAY: Early sun then clouding over. Chance of rain by late afternoon and night. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.
SATURDAY: Early rain shower possible otherwise sun/clouds, becoming windy. Temperatures steady in the 40s through day falling to 30s night.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 11-15)
Veterans Day Sunday November 11 will be bright and chilly as high pressure dominates. The November 12-13 period is being watched for unsettled weather in which 1 or 2 low pressure systems will likely impact the region. Neither look major, but it may be cold enough so that we’ll be seeing some snow involved along with rain for at least parts of the region. Fair, chilly weather dominates after that.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 16-20)
This is expected to be a drier period with temperatures starting below normal followed by some moderation.

7:29AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 5-9)
New week, same pattern as last week. We’ll hear from 3 wet weather systems over the next 5 days. The first will be low pressure passing south of the region later today and tonight, the second will be low pressure passing northwest of New England via the Great Lakes Tuesday and Tuesday night, and the third will be a low pressure area probably taking a similar track to the second one, approaching later Friday. Between systems 1 and 2, we will have to watch where a boundary ends up, regarding the temperature forecast for Tuesday, but leaning milder over cooler for Tuesday at this time with the boundary further north than some of the guidance suggest it may stay. Between systems 2 and 3, we’ll have a gusty wind Wednesday as dry air arrives and a dry and more tranquil day Thursday as high pressure crosses the region. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain arriving south to north during the afternoon. Highs 47-54. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of drizzle and fog with periods of rain through evening. Isolated rain showers overnight. Temperatures steady evening, rising to 54-60 overnight. Wind E up to 10 MPH evening, S 5-15 MPH overnight.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Isolated to scattered rain showers morning. Numerous rain showers afternoon including a slight risk of thunderstorms. Heavier rain showers may result in street flooding and slippery conditions when combined with wet leaves so use caution if traveling. Highs 60-67. Wind S 10-20 MPH with a few higher gusts possible.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy evening with rain showers ending. Partly cloudy overnight. Lows 45-52. Wind S 5-15 MPH evening, W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts overnight.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind W 15-25 MPH, higher gusts.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.
FRIDAY: Clouding over. Chance of rain afternoon and night. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 10-14)
The weekend may start wet early Saturday November 10 but this will be followed by quick clearing and gusty wind with chilly air. Sunday November 11, Veterans Day, will be dominated by high pressure as a breeze diminishes with sun and some high clouds arriving, and it will be on the chilly side. The November 12-14 period is being watched for unsettled weather in which 1 or 2 low pressure systems will likely impact the region. Neither look major, but it may be cold enough so that we’ll be seeing some snow involved along with rain for at least parts of the region. Again, I remind you don’t see the word “snow” and think “snowstorm”. Much time to iron out details. Temperatures continue below normal early next week.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 15-19)
This is expected to be a drier period with temperatures starting below normal followed by some moderation.

7:43AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 4-8)
High pressure dominates today which will be a very nice day to be outside for yard work, etc. Another period of unsettled weather similar to the last one arrives Monday and departs by early Wednesday, with dry weather returning during the middle of the week. Forecast details…
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH morning, light variable afternoon.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 25-32 interior lower elevations, 32-39 elsewhere. Wind calm.
MONDAY: Clouding over. Periods of rain mid to late afternoon south to north. Highs 45-52. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with areas of drizzle and fog and periods of rain evening. Mostly cloudy with scattered rain showers overnight. Temperatures rising into the 50s. Wind E up to 10 MPH shifting to S up to 15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated rain showers through early afternoon becoming more numerous late-day. Highs 58-65. Wind S 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
WEDNESDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Windy. Temperatures fall from near 60 to near 50.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Breezy. Lows in the 30s. Highs from the upper 40s to lower 50s.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 9-13)
Dry start and wet finish to November 9 as another low pressure area moves in. This departs November 10 with a drying trend and windy conditions. Fair, chilly November 11. Watching for the return of unsettled weather that may feature rain and/or snow sometime in the November 12-13 period but this is a low confidence forecast this far in advance. Don’t take the word “snow” to automatically mean “snowstorm”.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 14-18)
Starts unsettled, drier weather then dominates. Temperatures near to below normal.

10:44AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 3-7)
No big changes for this update but I wanted to highlight 2 things. 1) We did luck out a bit on what could have been a more significant severe weather threat early this morning. We experienced some local flooding from torrential downpours and there may be some spot areas of minor wind damage that occurred with the passage of some of these. 2) We are not going to escape a significant wind event this afternoon and evening. Wind gusts above 40 MPH in most of the region will strip a lot of foliage from trees but may also strip branches and in some cases take down entire trees. This presents a danger for travel, so be aware if you are out and about. There will be a power outage threat of course, which goes with this kind of event. But this won’t last long and after we get rid of the winds that announce the change in air masses we are in for a beautiful day on Sunday as high pressure dominates the weather. But the nice weather won’t hang around long either as our active pattern rolls on and as high pressure retreats to the northeast on Monday, in will come another bout of unsettled weather. Another push of warm air will be part of this unsettled stretch that arrives Monday and lasts into Wednesday before the next cold front arrives. Will detail the unsettled period in tomorrow’s update. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy with episodic rain showers including downpours through midday, ending west to east the first half of the afternoon, followed by a cloud/sun mix with a clearing trend. Temperatures fall into the 50s, eventually the upper 40s by late day. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, then W increasing to 15-30 MPH with gusts above 40 MPH likely and gusts above 50 MPH possible, favoring higher elevations and open areas.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 33-39. Wind W 15-30 MPH with higher gusts through evening, gradually diminishing overnight.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH morning, light variable afternoon.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 25-32 interior lower elevations, 32-39 elsewhere. Wind calm.
MONDAY: Clouding over. Chance of rain in the afternoon. Highs 45-52. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Chance of rain and drizzle. Lows from the lower to middle 40s. Highs from the upper 40s to middle 50s daytime but may rise to the 60s late.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy with rain showers likely AM. Breaking clouds PM. Temperatures start out 50s and/or 60s, fall to 40s. Becoming windy.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 8-12)
Dry and chilly November 8 and start of November 9. Wet end to November 9 and rain showers into November 10 with brief warm-up then turning colder through November 11-12. Should be sunny for November 11 but may turn cloudy by November 12.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 13-17)
Keep an eye out early in the period for a sneaky snow and/or rain event. Fair weather follows. Temperatures near to below normal.

7:11AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 2-6)
A warmer push of air holding some tropical moisture today interacting with a front in the region will create episodic showers and even a few possible thunderstorms, with the greatest push coming late tonight and early Saturday as a wave of low pressure moves by the region. This low will intensify rapidly as it crosses Maine Saturday and pull the front through, bringing a cooler air mass along with period of strong winds into the region later Saturday. High pressure moves for a much more tranquil and very nice day Sunday. But this high won’t hang around and the next area of moisture arrives with a warm front Monday, turning the weather unsettled again. We may enter a very warm air mass by Tuesday if things move along as expected. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy. Scattered to numerous rain showers. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 62-70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Scattered to numerous rain showers. Chance of thunderstorms. Lows 55-62. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

High pressure sinks south of the region today, a very nice day for both the Red Sox World Series victory parade in the late morning to early afternoon as well as trick-or-treat activities in the evening. A cold front will get closer to the region from the north tonight into Thursday and may get across southern NH into parts of northern MA and hang around through Friday as another front approaches from the west. A couple waves of low pressure will pass by between Friday and early Saturday, which will be the wettest period of weather here.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 3)
A cool high pressure area moves into the region today then sinks to the south Wednesday allow a temperature moderation. The weather looks decent for both the Red Sox World Series victory parade in the late morning to early afternoon as well as trick-or-treat activities in the evening. A cold front will get closer to the region from the north Wednesday night into Thursday and may get across southern NH into parts of northern MA before pushing back to the north by early Friday, which will end up a wet day as a wave of low pressure moves up from the southwest. An additional wave may prolong wet weather into early Saturday before it departs and drier and cooler air overtakes the region. Forecast details…

A low pressure system will move across the area today from southwest to northeast bringing rain showers which will end this afternoon. Drier weather arrives tonight and lasts into most of midweek, including Halloween, which now not only has trick or treat scheduled but also a Boston Red Sox World Series victory parade! We have a quick shot of warmer air Thursday as November arrives, but an approaching cold front will bring wet weather Thursday night into Friday as we transition back to cooler. Forecast details…

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 28-NOVEMBER 1)
As the days of October dwindle we have entered a transitional pattern, marked by a larger storm system which arrived yesterday and departs today. The storm brought wind and rain, with most of its snow confined to the mountains of northern New England. There were scattered power outages mainly due to fallen aged tree limbs, weighted by saturation and lingering foliage and pushed by some moderate wind gusts. We’re now in-between 2 storm systems, the larger one yesterday and a smaller follow-up that will bring additional wet weather to the region Monday. Today starts damp but not with falling rain, just lingering low level moisture with a low overcast, some fog, and patchy drizzle. It may dry out enough for a few breaks of sun this afternoon but clouds will dominate, although it will turn milder than yesterday was. Beyond Monday’s wet weather, drier conditions return for the final 2 days of October, along with milder air as the large scale pattern places a trough of low pressure in the middle of the US and a ridge of high pressure along the East Coast, reminiscent of the pattern we saw so often during the weeks leading up to the recent chilly spell. In fact, by the time we flip the calendar to November on Thursday, it will be quite mild. Forecast details…
