DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you were up early and outside you felt the chill after a few hours of radiational cooling. Once the wind dropped off late last evening and high pressure built right over us, that clear and calm combo allowed the temps to drop off quickly. Urban centers, the coastline, and some areas at higher elevations were not quite as cold as others, especially inland lower elevations, as that is where you tend to see the maximum impact of radiational cooling. Much of interior MA, especially Worcester County, experienced a hard freeze with low temperatures of 24 to 27, while many other locations saw some frost where the temp met the dew point (or “frost point” in this case). But today is going to be a nice day with a decent temperature recovery under abundant sun, albeit now shining at a very low angle and setting well before 5 p.m. since we went back to EST. So goes November! But the nice weather will last through tomorrow too, with a bit more breeze but also a warmer afternoon as that breeze will be southwesterly on the back side of departing high pressure. Meanwhile, the Nicole watch goes on to the south, with the storm now fully tropical. It moves westward through the northern Bahamas today as a strong tropical storm to minimal hurricane, then likely maintains this range of strength up until a shortly-after-midnight landfall on the eastern coast of Florida most likely between West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie, after which it will move across the central portion of the peninsula from southeast to northwest, turn northward near the western coast of the northern peninsula portion of the state then cross the eastern panhandle. This will take place with the system as a gradually weakening tropical storm. After this a north northeast turn will take the system across Georgia and into then across the Carolinas Friday as it starts to lose its identity and become absorbed by a frontal boundary and trough of low pressure moving toward the US East Coast. For our area, this means that we see clouds moving in on Friday, Veterans Day, but with rain-free weather for parades and ceremonies during the day. It’s Friday night and the first half of Saturday that is our time window for the wet weather, in the form of fairly widespread showers and downpours (maybe some isolated to scattered thunderstorms). Some of these may produce gusty winds, and we’ll already have windy conditions ahead of the front anyway, but I’m not looking for any real issues with damaging wind. We will have to watch for leaf-clogged storm drains though, and general slippery ground where wet leaves cover it. Use caution if traveling by foot or vehicle Friday night into Saturday. The cold front sweeps through from west to east during the morning and midday hours of Saturday then pushes offshore, and the day ends vastly differently than it begins, with clearing, a a gusty shifting wind, and cooler\/dry air moving in after a warm\/humid start. Sunday’s weather will be far more typical of November, with a mix of sun and clouds, a gusty breeze, and the chill of later autumn. With the axis of upper level troughing still just to our west, we do have to keep an eye out for additional low pressure development near the East Coast that day. Yesterday, some guidance painted Sunday as a much cloudier, wet day, but at this point I believe model error was a big part of this forecast, and that the more offshore and weaker solution of this unsettled weather is the more likely outcome, so I am going with the fair weather forecast for Sunday at this time – but something to watch, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching for a potential low pressure system to impact the region with some precipitation (probably rain, can’t rule out inland mix\/snow) in the November 16-17 window, otherwise much of the period will be dry with below normal temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little more up\/down on the temperatures, but below normal overall. Mainly dry pattern – one system may bring passing unsettled weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
