Quick update which is basically a copy\/paste of parts of the previous discussion and a few new thoughts going forward.<\/p>\n
The repeat portion…<\/p>\n
Today\u2026 An area of high pressure will build across southeastern Canada and northern New England and supply our region with fair, seasonably cool, and dry weather.<\/p>\n
Friday daytime\u2026 High pressure starts to retreat allowing sunshine to eventually give way to clouds advancing from the west as low pressure in the Great Lakes dives to the southeast toward the northern Middle Atlantic States.<\/p>\n
Friday nighttime (Halloween)\u2026 Clouds thicken but it looks like any rainfall from the low pressure area to the west and south will hold off until after midnight. Evening activities (trick or treat, parties) will be met with lots of clouds and temperatures in the upper 40s in most locations, but not too much wind. The late-night crowd may be heading home in some rain.<\/p>\n
Weekend… 2-part storm with part 1 being the closer redevelopment of the low from the Great Lakes producing some periods of light rain and drizzle mainly Saturday afternoon and evening, and part 2 being the evolution and deepening of a second storm too far east to bring steady rain to anywhere except probably Cape Cod but a gusty wind and a draw-down of colder air for the rest of the region. The snow threat is out of the equation with this scenario, which seemed most likely all the while. Cannot rule out a few rain\/snow showers around the back side of the low at some point on Sunday over southeastern NH and eastern MA.<\/p>\n
Early next week… Fair with a warming trend, though still on the chilly side Monday with the meaningful warm up more for Election Day Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n
