A multi-day battle between high pressure north of New England and low pressure south of New England will have southern New England on the fence, weather-wise, right through the coming holiday weekend. The low pressure area, made up partially of the remains of Tropical Storm Karen (in the Gulf of Mexico last week), will be cut off from the jet stream, and drifting about off the Mid Atlantic Coast. It will be trying to lift northward while at the same time a big high pressure area centered over southeastern Canada tries to push southward. Though there is a little more uncertainty than usual with this forecast, we will likely see filtered sun across southeastern New England Wednesday as the low remains well to the south, then thickening clouds by Thursday as it pushes more to the north. What remains to be seen as how far north the rain comes. For now the best threat looks like it will be south of the Mass Pike Thursday afternoon into Friday. The low may settle back to the south over the weekend with less rain threat and some reduction in cloudiness, before pushing northward again and increasing both the clouds and the rain threat (especially to the south), by Columbus Day (Monday) and Tuesday. Check back frequently as fine-tuning will be needed.<\/p>\n
