HURRICANE MELISSA UPDATE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hurricane crossed Jamaica yesterday and is currently (as of this writing) crossing eastern Cuba, set to track through the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands later today, weakening, and finally making a close pass to Bermuda late Thursday \/ early Friday, continuing the weakening process and beginning its post-tropical transition. As previously mentioned, a minor moisture infusion may occur into our upcoming storm system, but not one that will significantly enhance our rainfall amount potential. Consult the latest advisory from NHC for complete information about this system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 29 \u2013 NOVEMBER 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broad-scale onshore flow continues and the lower levels are more moist so that the stratus cloud coverage is more extensive, and this will be the case today, though there can be enough dry air working in to cause some breaks in the clouds and maybe even a few intervals of sun. Also, we may see some drizzle patches off the ocean. A low pressure area will offshore to the southeast will move away today. We then turn attention to the next storm system developing to our south, destined to take a track just to our west later Thursday then redevelop over Maine on Friday before heading into Atlantic Canada. Any moisture infusion from the tropical activity well to the southeast should miss our area (may clip Downeast Maine on Friday). We will, however, have a nice slug of rainfall with the system over several hours from evening Thursday to pre-dawn Friday, which does help to continue to reduce our precipitation deficit. Behind this system, expect a breezy, drier, but mild day Friday. There may be a lingering shower with the departing storm system’s occluded front first thing in the morning, and a little wrap-around moisture can trigger an afternoon shower in the hills of southwestern NH and north central MA for a brief time. Otherwise, heading into the trick-or-treat hours it looks like variably cloudy skies will play with the waxing gibbous moon and a gusty breeze will add some spookiness to the overall feel of the evening. Watch for fallen leaves that can still be wet from previous rainfall when walking and\/or driving and stay safe! …. Heading into the weekend (and the first 2 days of November), high pressure brings fair but breezy weather Saturday as the high center is to our west and still producing a fairly tight pressure gradient in combination with low pressure in Atlantic Canada. This will relax a bit on Sunday. Previously I was eyeing a potential disturbance for some unsettled weather Sunday, and while the system is still technically there, it will likely be insignificant and only bring some cloud patches and no threat of any precipitation, so basically a dry weekend forecast is the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Patchy drizzle possible especially eastern coastal locations. Highs 48-55. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Possible drizzle. Lows 43-50. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY: Cloudy. Patchy drizzle. Rain arrives late-day \/ evening southwest to northeast. Highs 50-57. Wind E 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with rain, heavy at times. Lows 48-55. Wind SE 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY: Sun\/cloud mix. An early-day shower possible north of I-90. A late-day shower possible southwestern NH and north central MA. Highs 57-64. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUNDAY: Cloud \/ sun intervals. Highs 48-55. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trend is for a split flow on the large scale with a weakening southern jet stream and more dominant northern jet stream. Interaction of the two can produce a brief rain event about November 4, but there’s also a chance this interaction fails to occur and we just have a frontal passage from the northern stream system. Another disturbance approaches by the end of the period with a rain\/mix shower threat. Temperatures near to below normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next best shot at a passing unsettled weather system is mid to late-period. Temperatures near to slightly below normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
