DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 10-14)
\nLow pressure sits over southern New England this morning and is responsible for the murky start with overcast, drizzle, and areas of fog lingering after last night’s heavier rain has moved away. But a change will take place during the day as the low pressure departs and intensifies fairly rapidly while moving away. A system that does this draws dry air rapidly into the region it just left, and this is often done with plenty of wind. Though the wind will not end up as ferocious as it did a week ago today, you will notice it by afternoon and evening. This wind will also be transporting colder air into the region which you’ll very much feel tonight and early Sunday. So if your city or town is doing Veterans Day ceremonies Sunday morning (some wait until Monday) then prepare for a chill and a lingering breeze. Winds will relax during Sunday as high pressure builds in, and this will set up a more calm but quite cold night Sunday night. For several days we have been keeping an eye on the November 12-14 period for a storm system that may include snow for parts of the region. Don’t worry, I’m not about to forecast a snowstorm. As it is now that these 3 days fall in my DAYS 1-5 period, it’s time for details. And they are that a storm will approach later Monday and there is only the slight risk that the onset of precipitation, if quick enough, may including a bit of snow or mix over interior areas late Monday night. Don’t count on it. The low will track rapidly northeastward right across the region Tuesday with another slug of moderate to heavy rainfall. Snow will be confined to the mountains of northern New England. As the system departs Wednesday, however, it will drag down air cold enough to support snow, but by that time all the moisture will be gone, and all that we’d be left with is the risk of a few passing light snow showers, if they were to survive a trip out of the mountains and hills. Any flakes that do manage to make it into the area that day would be insignificant, but they would mark the arrival coldest air mass of the season so far. But that air mass is coming regardless of the occurrence of any snow showers. Forecast details…

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 15-19)
\nDry and chilly start and end to the period. In the middle we’ll see a front come through with northern jet stream energy and a storm evolving offshore with a combination of northern and southern jet stream energy.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 20-24)
\nAn important period of days with a lot of travel and football games around the Thanksgiving holiday which is November 22, and of course “Black Friday” and all that goes with that. A pattern that is progressive and more northern jet stream dominated should just send a front through the area around November 21 and another later in the period. These would be minor events in comparison to recent ones. Temperatures, though variable, would average closer to seasonal averages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
