DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 4-8)
\nThe large scale pattern continues to feature a dominant trough in the western US and dominant ridge in the eastern US, which for the East is a generally warm pattern. Also, there has been a lot of early-season cold in central and northern Canada, though this has been generally locked up there because of a west to east flow up there and little chance for any of it to be pulled to the south. This pattern continues through this 5-day forecast period. Today will be one of the warmer days as we get into a southwesterly air flow ahead of a cold front. This front may bring a few showers to the region this evening just prior to or early in the Patriots game in Foxboro. Behind this front comes a brief shot of cool air for Friday, but as many of them before this one, the high pressure are will track north of the region, producing a northeasterly air flow, and then the high will sink to the south as we get into the weekend, resulting in a warming trend again. The boundary that went by late Thursday will be coming back but at this time it may not have enough moisture for any rainfall, just some cloudiness at times. For some, the “weekend” extends through Columbus Day Monday, then it looks like we’ll be back to a northeasterly air flow and a cool-down as the next bubble of high pressure moves across eastern Canada and northern New England.
