DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s time for the first of two storm systems to impact our region during this interlude of blocking. As a primary low over the northern Mid Atlantic weakens, a low pressure area that was off the Carolinas has started to move to the north northeast and will be captured by upper level low pressure, doing a cyclonic loop while reaching maximum intensity just south of New England tonight \/ early Wednesday before moving away and gradually weakening. The early part of this system is in the form of shower bands, some with heavy rain, that have been impacting the region since late last night and will continue to do so today before a more solid area of rainfall fills in across the region for several hours, before gradually tapering off Wednesday. The strongest winds are going to occur along the coastal areas, especially near the South Coast, during tonight, closest to the tightly wrapped up low as it makes its closest approach on the west-moving portion of its loop. We will see pockets of damage, especially with so many vulnerable trees due to a wet summer and very moist ground. As previously mentioned, leaves coming off trees will block storm drains leading to additional flooding, and leaves covering roadways also can make it hard to see lanes and lead to slippery conditions, not unlike snow and ice in winter. Use caution if you need to travel! We get a break Thursday and a good portion of Friday as high pressure in eastern Canada noses down into New England between two storm systems, the second of which will be a little weaker with more direct track to the west of the WHW forecast area. It will spread its first rainfall into our area Friday night, probably on the later side, and bring us an unsettled Saturday with additional rain and breezy weather, though not looking nearly as strong for wind as the first one…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 31 \u2013 NOVEMBER 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure should be north and east of the region by October 31 and while there is still the chance of rain showers an overall drying trend with a westerly wind is expected. High pressure brings fair and seasonably cool weather for the first day of November. A couple waves of low pressure may bring brief rain chances around November 2 and 4 though timing and details are not certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 5-9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While I lean toward a drier pattern with variable temperatures, we may see another blocking situation evolve. Something to watch. Forecast is low confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
