DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upper level low pressure that sits over our area now will drift east but be “replaced” by another one over the weekend into the beginning of next week. This keeps us from having days that are very warm, and also keeps days from being totally sunny, as the pool of cold air aloft triggers cloud development. There should be enough instability for isolated to scattered showers this afternoon and again during Monday, while during the weekend the clouds will be mainly of the “fair weather” variety, though more abundant Saturday than Sunday. When we get to Tuesday, you’ll get your first hint of how I think next week’s much-talked-about storm threat is going to go, because I suspect we’ll see increasing high cloudiness from the south ahead of a developing low pressure system down the coast. We may still see some lower cloud pop-ups due to lingering chilly air aloft as well, but at this point I expect Tuesday to be a rain-free day. (More on the storm threat in the next section, but first the detailed forecast for the next five days…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Sunshine to start then a sun\/cloud blend with isolated to scattered afternoon showers mainly from the I-90 belt northward. Highs 56-63. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Lots of clouds early, then they dissipate. Lows 36-43. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Early full sun, then lots of clouds limiting the sun midday on. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clouds decrease again. Lows 36-43. Wind NW to N diminishing to under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Sunny start, then a sun\/cloud mix. Highs 53-60. Wind N 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 36-43. Wind N up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY: High clouds filter the sun while diurnal clouds pop-up and may produce a few rain showers including the chance of small hail. Highs 55-62. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MONDAY NIGHT: Lots of clouds. Lows 38-45. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TUESDAY: Clouds and limited sun. Highs 53-60. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 29 – NOVEMBER 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putting aside all the outside influences, all the “model variability” etc., getting right to how I think next week’s “interesting” pattern evolves. First, I suspect that after causing some major rain and wind in Jamaica and eventually eastern Cuba, Hurricane Melissa will make a beeline for the open Atlantic and be far from a potential factor in East Coast (including New England) weather. What we watch for our area is the evolution of a storm system along the East Coast associated with a blocking pattern – high pressure eastern Canada, low pressure US Northeast and Mid Atlantic. I think the evolution of this system is quick, and we will be watching for impact from rain and wind in our area to start this period (Wed Oct 29), with a maturing \/ filling low pressure area causing lingering showers the next day (Thu Oct 30) and lifting north of the region by Halloween (Fri Oct 31) at which time we’d be in a drier westerly air flow with fair but breezy weather. With lower confidence I lean toward a mixed first weekend of November on the first 2 days of the month with fair weather Saturday and unsettled weather Sunday. More on that in time…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lower than average confidence forecast leans toward a mid period precipitation threat and fair weather at the start and end of the period with temperatures generally seasonable to a bit cooler than average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
