DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 22-26)
\nDiscussion…
\nWell so much for my “no travel trouble” a few days ago regarding today. Sometimes they just don’t work out so well. What I thought would be an area of rain largely offshore and a front with very little precipitation on it turns out to be that front helping to squeeze the atmosphere as a tongue of tropical moisture moves northward into southeastern New England on this day before Thanksgiving, resulting in widespread rain. So travel will be slow around the area today, though improvement will arrive at the end of the day and we’re still looking at a dry but chilly Thanksgiving Day as high pressure moves in. This will hang on through Friday as it stands now though some cloudiness is still expected as it starts to warm, first aloft, then at the surface, which will be much more notable by Saturday as we will be in the southwesterly air flow ahead of a cold front. This front will come through Saturday night when a few rain showers may occur. And as cold air flows in and an upper disturbance crosses the region Sunday a few snow showers may occur.
\nDetailed forecast…
\nTODAY: Overcast with rain and embedded downpours and thunder especially southeastern MA and RI, diminishing toward dusk when clouds may break. Highs 46-53. Wind light S to SW becoming NW and increasing to 10-20 MPH late day.
\nTONIGHT: Clearing. Watch for patchy ice where the ground does not dry. Lows 25-31. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing toward dawn.
\nTHURSDAY – THANKSGIVING: Mostly sunny. Highs 38-45. Wind light W.
\nTHURSDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 22-30. Wind light W.
\nFRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 40-47. Wind light W.
\nSATURDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of rain showers late day or evening. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
\nSUNDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of snow showers. Temperatures fall to the 30s.<\/p>\n
DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 27-DECEMBER 1)
\nThe tough that I thought may ignite a storm early in this period should be progressive enough to allow high pressure to move in with dry and cool weather November 27 and a milder November 28 ahead of the next cold front, which may bring a little bit of unsettled weather on November 29 or 30 with fair weather returning as December arrives.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 2-6)
\nIndications are for a progressive pattern, weak systems, and a couple air mass changes. Will work on the details as the days get closer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
