DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not much to add today – more of an update to see yup, blocking in place, and yup, still a dry pattern. In fact, our fire danger may reach a peak in the next 72 hours (especially Friday into Saturday) thanks to an ocean storm. The pattern allows the storm to our east to back in enough to bring increased wind, but not enough to throw its precipitation shield far enough west to reach our region other than maybe a passing brief patch or two of light rain sometime later Friday (I actually think this stays offshore as well). Backing up a bit, the evolution of the block drives one system to our southwest today – a system that might have brought rain to us in a non-blocked pattern, but all we’ll see from it is a shield of clouds in the southwestern sky later on. This system joins the ocean party before it all drifts away to the east later in the weekend and we continue dry, with a temperature moderation. This moderation will be felt Monday, but another disturbance will dive southeastward through the area, bringing some clouds and maybe a quick passing rain shower Monday, but no widespread beneficial rainfall. Also, a reminder that during Friday and into the weekend, some minor coastal flooding \/ splash-over can occur due to the offshore storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Large scale blocking relaxes somewhat, with a general northwest to west flow here and a cooling trend the middle of next week, and some moderation after that. Medium range guidance hints at a system around November 22 to bring a rain chance, but in the current regime there’s some doubt about how productive it will be. Will monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there remain hints of upper level troughing in the Northeast with a cooler regime, it still doesn’t look too stormy to me, just slightly more unsettled. Still leaning toward drier over wetter heading toward Thanksgiving (November 28).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
