DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today will be one of those days that looks very different at its conclusion than it does at its beginning. Our second significant rainfall in several days will be coming to a quick end this morning and dry air will return to the region during midday and afternoon, along with a brief shot of wind, bringing in some chilly air. In fact, before the end of the rainfall, some snow has already been mixed in and may continue for a very brief time over highest elevations well northwest of Boston. The wind will drop off quickly tonight as high pressure, centered to the south, noses overhead. This sets up a cold night and beginning to Sunday, but the the high center moving to the east, a milder southwesterly wind flow will take over and the temperature recovery on Sunday will be significant, easily the pick of this weekend. Entering early next week, a mild southerly air flow will be dominant, and a frontal boundary will make 2 failed attempts to get through here as the offshore high pressure system is too strong and the upper level pattern is not set-up in such a way to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mild southerly air flow will continue October 22 into October 23 before a stronger cold front from the west puts an end to that with a risk of passing rain showers later October 23. A much cooler period October 24-26. Watching for a low pressure area from the south to bring a rain threat as early as late October 24 but more likely October 25 before it clears out at the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is the potential for a second ocean storm (possibly born in the tropics at first) most likely passing east of the region but serving to bring down some colder air from Canada. A system from the west may bring some precipitation to the region early in the period (October 27-28). Temperature recovery is possible by the end of the period after the initial push of cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
