DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An upper level low pressure area continues its hold on the region today with a fair amount of clouds and a few rain showers around at times, especially this morning and closer to the eastern coastal areas. This low relinquishes its grip on Wednesday with the shower chance going away, but some clouds still popping up due to the chilly air that remains aloft. High pressure provides us with the “pick of the week” on Thursday, which will be fair and milder. But that weather doesn’t hang around as a southerly air flow on the back side of the high, and yet another approaching trough from the west put us into an unsettled stretch once again later this week. However, I’m not convinced that this stretch of weather will end up all that wet. I do think Friday’s a mild, humid day with lots of clouds and passing rain showers that will be impossible to try timing this far in advance – unsettled, but not “washed out”. As a frontal boundary gets to our east, I’m seeing signs that a few pieces of energy are not really going to fully come together until they are beyond our region, and with this process underway Saturday, I do expect unsettled weather with lots of clouds and a rain chance, but it may be a situation where we see low pressure’s main influence shifting offshore, keeping most of its rain there, and leaving us with a cooler east to northeast wind under a blanket of clouds, but with only limited rainfall, and the potential for long stretches that are rain-free. Still not an ideal set-up, but we may avoid a Saturday soaker just the same. Obviously, monitoring and fine-tuning is needed as we get closer to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low pressure organizes and strengthens but will be pulling away from our region into eastern Canada with drier, breezy, cool weather October 22 to finish the weekend, then fair and breezy weather lingering into October 23. High pressure builds in with fair and more tranquil weather thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next trough looks less potent bringing a minor rain shower chance early in the period, followed by high pressure and dry weather again but somewhat variable temperatures as we head down the home stretch of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
