DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here we are at the final 5 days of October, wrapping up with Halloween this coming Friday, and there is a lot of weather to talk about as we head down the home stretch of the tenth month of 2025. First, a word on Hurricane Melissa, currently a category 5 hurricane drifting westward to the south of Jamaica. This is not a large hurricane, size-wise, but is going to be intense as it eventually turns to the north, crossing Jamaica Tuesday morning to midday then turning northeast to cross eastern Cuba Tuesday night and early Wednesday, beginning an acceleration while crossing the eastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos by early Wednesday, finally making a close pass as a weaker hurricane undergoing post-tropical transition early Friday. Obviously, catastrophic damage is a certainty on Jamaica, and major damage in parts of eastern Cuba (as well as Haiti, close enough to the path), and significant damage in the eastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. Bermuda will fare somewhat better with a weaker storm by the time it passes there. I’ve linked a colleague’s blog as the first comment below which in additional to a take on the forecast for our area, has more expansive information on the hurricane. Back here in southeastern New England, we remain under the influence of high pressure as it slides from Quebec to Atlantic Canada early to mid week. An upper low also sits over the region and can help trigger a few showers in eastern areas this afternoon, though coverage will be isolated. This moves out by Tuesday as the first of two low pressure areas triggered by a deeper trough moving in from the west develops to our south, but passes out to sea. It will be close enough to enhance our northeasterly air flow later Tuesday into Wednesday with some low clouds off the ocean and perhaps some patches of drizzle. There can be enough dry air involved for partial sun as well. Above that will be a high to mid level cloud shield Tuesday night and Wednesday associated with the initial storm well to our south. Some of the rain from that may just make it to the South Coast at some point during Wednesday, but it would be very light and spotty. A second, stronger storm will take near the coast well to our south, and the track of this one should be to our west Thursday night and early Friday. This would bring a shorter-duration but moderate to heavy slug of rain through our region sometime between late day Thursday and daybreak Friday. The final details on timing and intensity still need to be ironed out over the next few days. This set-up would allow drying to take place during the day Friday, which would be fairly mild in comparison to the days leading up to it, but breezy as well with a wind having switched around to the west behind the storm system. This is decent news for the Friday evening trick-or-treat plans for Halloween. I’ll talk about this in more detail as we get closer to it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
