DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lots to cover in today’s blog post! While we don’t chat politics here, we can definitely cover the weather for Election Day, and today is that day. We’ve said goodbye to the warm spell, and today will feature a seasonable chill in the air, along with a gusty breeze, but otherwise fair weather with no travel issues to get to the polling place if you are voting in person. Now that we have one week in the books for November, let’s review a little bit. For Boston, the average temperature for the month so far is 61.9, which puts them in first place for the warmest first 7 days of November on record. Spots 2 through 6 are 61.0 in 1994, 59.7 in 1990, 59.6 in 2015, 58.9 in 1975, and 58.8 in 1982. Ironically, ONLY 1975 held onto a warm pattern for the entire month, becoming the warmest November on record for Boston – so far unchallenged. All of the other years in spots 2 through 6 fell out of the top 10 warmest. What will happen this time? My guess is we won’t be solidifying the warmth because a wholesale pattern change is looming. In fact, it’s already starting. Stage one was our cold front sweeping across the region yesterday, although it was still a warm day, we did see the dew point drop and finally in the evening the cool air arrived. This is from a Canadian high pressure area which will build across the region providing seasonably cool air through Wednesday, which will be a day that features lighter wind than today. High pressure will then drift off the south and east by Thursday which will feature fair weather with milder air arriving. Meanwhile, Subtropical Storm Nicole continues to get itself organized to the east of the Bahamas and is expected to consolidate somewhat into a more defined tropical system that may attain hurricane status before reaching the coast of Florida early Thursday, first passing through the northern Bahamas Wednesday. The forecast track for Nicole takes it northward later this week, and while it transitions to a “regular” storm system, it will be interacting with a trough and frontal system approaching our area from the west, and is very likely going to give us a good slug of rainfall late Friday into Saturday. Right now, I continue to anticipate dry weather hanging on for the daylight hours of Veterans Day on Friday – good news for outdoor ceremonies and parades that will be taking place. But at night, expect a soaker along with a gusty wind due to the combined effort of those systems. I think things will be moving along quickly enough so that we see only a wet start to Saturday with rapid improvement from west to east as the cold front sweeps through and offshore. We may salvage from about midday on with dry weather, although it will be quite breezy and turning cooler after a very mild beginning to the day – the next stage of our pattern change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New weather pattern – below normal temperatures. Looking for dry weather for much of the time, then a potential low pressure system bringing some precipitation near the end of the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similar pattern, below normal temperatures, mainly dry weather, threat of one passing system with some precipitation mid to late period based on current projected timing of features. Always remember a forecast out beyond several days has a higher degree of potential error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
