Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As low pressure tracks northwest of the region today and tonight, its warm front will try, and fail, to pass through the region. It will produce some wet weather, but not a heavy rainfall, and we’ll never get into the warm sector, having an occluded frontal passage instead, putting us into a northerly air flow Tuesday which then turns more easterly Wednesday as a bubble of high pressure slides north of the region in the wake of the low before it. Another area of low pressure will approach and pass south of the region Thursday, some of this being the moisture remains of Hurricane Zeta from the Gulf of Mexico. A second wave of low pressure will probably become a slightly stronger system as it passes by early Friday. The things to figure out with this have been how heavy the rain will be, and whether or not enough cold air from the north arrives before the precipitation ends to give the region some snow at the end of the system. The answers I believe will be that most of the heavier rain will pass south of the region, but a swath of significant rain is still possible, favoring areas south of I-90 as it stands now, and also that cold air will arrive in time for a mix or brief change to snow for some areas Friday morning but a rather rapid departure of the precipitation will prevent any significant snowfall accumulation from occurring. What is pretty certain is that it will be rather cold on Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Canadian high pressure area brings fair but colder than normal weather for Halloween October 31 before sliding offshore with dry but milder weather November 1. A cold front comes through early November 2 with a rain shower risk then windy\/colder air following. Fair, tranquil but chilly November 3 before a rain shower risk with another passing cold front November 4, based on current timing and anticipated error of poorly-performing models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polar jet stream dominant. Current timing would indicate a warm-up November 5-6 then another cold shot but mainly dry weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
