Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure passing southeast of New England this morning has managed to put a little wet weather into far southeastern areas in the form of showers, but this will be heading out soon along with its cause, and high pressure builds in later today through tonight with quickly improving weather. This small area of high pressure will be offshore Tuesday and a weak disturbance will come through the region with some cloudiness and possibly a passing shower in a few locations, while most areas are rain-free. A stronger cold front will approach on Wednesday providing most of the region with the best chance to see any rainfall this week, but while a few of these showers may be on the heavier side and even a thunderstorm is possible, don’t get excited about a drought-busting rainfall. That is still not in the cards for our area. What is in the cards is a shot of much cooler air Thursday and Friday, with some locations possibly close to the freezing point for low temperatures on Friday. A gusty breeze may prevent a solid freeze in vulnerable areas as it may keep the air mixed enough so temperatures don’t drop to their lowest potential in the upper 20s. Something to keep an eye on though since we’re still several days away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The large scale weather pattern will continue zonal (west to east jet stream with fairly low amplitude). At the surface, high pressure moves offshore and we have a milder October 10-11 weekend with fair weather. This general idea may continue into mid month with a northward-displaced jet stream promoting dry and mild weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping an eye on a possible shift in the jet stream configuration which would start out zonal with mild and dry weather here, followed by a little more amplification and at least some potential for unsettled weather. This is a fairly long-range and therefore only low to moderate confidence outlook so remember that adjustments are likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
