DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 18-22)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cold front moves through the region this morning with no more than a passing insignificant rain shower under a deck of clouds, before it moves on and sun returns during the day. The air will remain fairly mild as the air mass behind the front is modified. Cooler air will eventually filter in tonight and Tuesday on a northwesterly air flow, keeping fire danger on the high side. A narrow area of high pressure builds in Tuesday night, which will be a chilly one, and Wednesday, which will be a fair, more tranquil day, but with filtered to dimmed sun as high clouds advance in from the west. These clouds are the forerunners of what will be a swath of rain heading our way for Thursday. This is due to a sprawling low pressure area moving into the Great Lakes, with cyclic redevelopment of low pressure eastward as the trough winds up and slowly moves east in response to some blocking high pressure to the north. This is a different configuration than we’ve seen with many systems recently, and it’s what allows the rain to reach our area Thursday. That said, I have had my concerns that this system will be limited in its ability to produce a significant amount of rain, and this will likely come to be the case. Not to say “hey it’s not going to rain!” .. it is going to rain from this thing, but modestly. The orentation of the trough and accompanying surface low means a strong occlusion and a ribbon of rain that is fairly narrow and moves through from southwest to northeast in a few hours, after which the filling low drifts eastward across our region during the following 24 hours, into Friday, with more spotty, lighter rainfall. We’ll get close to a rain\/snow mix in our highest elevations to the northwest of Boston but most of the frozen stuff will stack in the mountains to the west and north of the WHW forecast area. There are still some details to work out with this forecast, so pay attention to any comments I make and of course the daily updates heading through the week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 23-27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The November 23-24 weekend will feature upper level low pressure drifting across the region and weakening, with limited rain\/snow shower chances, and mostly dry, cool conditions. We have to watch for a wave of low pressure to bring clouds back and possible rain toward the middle of next week. While any rain we get is generally regarded as beneficial, any unsettled weather in the days just before Thanksgiving can result in at least minor travel troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 28 \u2013 DECEMBER 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The large scale pattern features some blocking transitioning more zonal with time, and mostly dry weather here. Depending on the timing of a disturbance, Thanksgiving Day (November 28) can at least start unsettled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
