***REMINDERS***
If you want to enter the “for fun” snow contest, guess the seasonal snow to the nearest tenth of an inch for any or all of the following locations: Boston, Worcester, Providence, Hartford. Also as a bonus you may guess the date of the first inch of snow at Logan Airport in Boston. DEADLINE IS 9PM TONIGHT!
I will post sometime this evening my own guess on the contest page, and on the main page there will be a special post containing my Winter outlook for 2015-2016.
DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 18-19)…
High pressure will dominate through Wednesday, but as was suspected, the surface temperatures will not reach the potential indicated by the strength of the upper level ridge, because the surface high pressure areas that bring the great weather will also be originating in colder locations to our north, bringing some of that colder air in, and preventing the wind from going around to south or southwest for any prolonged period of time, only possibly briefly by Thursday, which will become an unsettled day as a front approaches from the west. Still, the next 4 days will be very nice for November!
TODAY: Sunshine filtered at times by variable high cloudiness. Highs 50-55. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 25-30 except 30-35 coast and urban areas. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 25-35. Highs 45-55.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 25-35. Highs 45-55.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. PM rain showers. Lows 35-45. Highs 55-65.
DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 20-24)…
Mild but potentially unsettled November 20-21 as a front and low pressure hang around the region. Becoming fair and somewhat colder November 22-23. Milder but with additional unsettled weather possible November 24.
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 25-29)…
This period looks at least seasonably cold if not a little colder than normal, at least briefly, with dry weather early to mid period and some risk of unsettled weather (rain or snow) later in the period. Again, being many days away and containing Thanksgiving and the weekend, I know it’s an important forecast but it’s just too early to be sure how it all works out yet. This is just an idea so stay tuned…
