Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hopefully if you have allergies they have eased up, though that may be doubtful as we get another dry\/breezy day today. And we still have somewhat elevated fire danger as most of our region saw no rainfall at all with the passage of the cold front, and those that did in the WHW forecast area saw it only very briefly. But the front is through, and the warmth of Saturday is gone, replaced by a more seasonable October chill today, which will still be quite the nice day. Next up: The remains of Hurricane Delta. That will bring is a spell of wet weather for about 24 hours from the middle of Monday to the middle of Tuesday, but I’m afraid for a good part of the region it won’t be as beneficial as we’d like, with probably only 0.25 to 0.75 inch rainfall for a good portion of the region. There will likely be a few areas that exceed the 0.75 inch mark. Of course any rainfall will help, but when you are not following it up with another hopefully non-flooding rainfall event soon after, the benefit is minimized as the ground doesn’t have much of a chance to loosen up to accept subsequent rainfall events. Time will tell, but I still feel we’re in this drought for quite the long haul. One adjustment I’m making in Tuesday’s forecast is the wind direction and temperature. The low pressure circulate that was one Delta will pass southeast of our area, not northwest of it like I suspected previously, and this will change things up a little from what the previous forecast had said. Either way, when we reach midweek, it’s back to fair and mild weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No change in the struggle of our medium range guidance, so once again A.M.E. and not making too many changes at this point. Cold front expected to bring a rain shower threat early October 16 followed by a drier interlude. A quick warm-up ahead of a stronger front that brings unsettled weather October 17, followed by a push of cooler\/drier air October 18, a quick warm-up following that and the next round of unsettled weather possible by October 20. Despite the increased frequency of precipitation threats, I’m not looking at this as a change to a beneficial rainfall pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The early to mid portion of this period should be dominated by westerly flow with limited rainfall threats and variable temperatures with nothing too extreme. Watch the end of the period for a possible close pass or visit from a wet weather system to the south of New England and a push of colder air possibly following that. Low confidence that far in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
