3:51PM<\/p>\n
Sunset in Boston today: 4:32PM. Welcome to the Dark Days! Personally, I love this time of year. As a traditionalist, I love the feeling of going back to standard time (not that I mind DST). As a weather geek, I like the fact the info comes in an hour earlier than it has been. And as a little kid inside (still), I love the feeling that the holidays are on their way…<\/p>\n
But just because we are suddenly looking at sunsets well before 5PM does not mean we’re about to be nothing but cold. In fact, Indian Summer is going to be with us for the first part of the week in the Boston area, with dry weather and much above normal temperatures. I’m not expecting anyone to break into the 70s, though a few places may touch 70. Earlier, I thought Wednesday might be the best day for this, but now I think Monday or Tuesday may be, as we may end up with a little too much southeast wind off the ocean by Wednesday. Either way, mild times are returning after a brief shot of chilly air. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
Later in the week, a frontal system will bring a chance of showers, but they will be rain showers, not snow showers, as the air will still be quite mild on Thursday. Drier weather will begin to move in on Friday but with gusty winds, as a low pressure area that forms on the front strengthens as it moves away. This should set us up for a decent mid November weekend, a long week for some, starting on Friday, as it is Veterans Day. And on that note, in advance I would like to thank all of the Veterans as well as those currently serving our country for their service!<\/p>\n
