DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first weekend of October may not be a stellar early autumn weekend, but for those in the WHW forecast area (southern NH, central and eastern MA, eastern CT, and RI) it won’t really be that bad either. Temperatures which started out with a bit of a chill this morning will rebound nicely today even though sunshine will be limited at times by an abundance of high and mid level cloudiness streaming in from the northwest. There is enough mid level moisture to possibly result in brief rainfall in southern NH and northeastern MA this morning before that area moves out. We’re on the “warm” side of a boundary for now. This is the boundary mentioned in yesterday’s discussion which makes Sunday’s temperature forecast more tricky as it is destined to sink southward, back-door cold front style, during the day. This will leave areas mainly south and west of Boston warmest while areas to the north and east turn noticeably cooler. We also have the wild card of whether or not some lower cloudiness comes in off the ocean in the cooler areas, while we’ll still be dealing with a lot of higher clouds streaming in above. Eventually that higher and mid level cloud cover will thicken and lower and lead to rainfall, but at the moment I think the rainfall will only be patchy by Sunday evening before becoming more widespread overnight into Monday morning, before becoming patchy again. Regardless, a wet start to the week seems likely as a wave of low pressure moves along that frontal boundary. All the while, high pressure will still be centered to the north and will be ready to make a southward push, eventually enough to kick the wet weather out of here. However that may take until later Tuesday to happen, leaving us with dry weather by the middle of next week. Whether we get rid of the clouds by then or not is another matter and one I will figure out as we get closer to it. And I know you’ve been hearing this all week but one more reminder of the increased ocean swells \/ surf \/ rip currents (if you have coastal plans) due to Hurricane Sam far offshore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure is expected to sit over and just north of the region with fair and seasonable weather. We need to watch low pressure sitting to the south of the region for possible northward push, or at least some of its moisture being drawn northward into the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure from the south and west may bring wetter weather for the first part of this period before a drier westerly air flow finally takes over. Low to moderate confidence forecast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
