DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 10-14)
\nOur cut off storm will be fighting a large high pressure area to its north and my suspicion about it not being quite as impactful will indeed be the case, not to dismiss the fact there will still be some heavy rain in southeastern areas, where it was most likely, and wind that will be strong enough to take down tree limbs and in some cases some weaker older trees which still carry leaves, and a few coastal flooding issues, though relatively minor. The rainfall comes in waves and is lighter as you go northwest. You can see visual evidence of the dry air fighting this storm if you are in Boston’s NW suburbs looking west and northwest at a strip of clear sky at dawn this morning. Nothing more to add that wasn’t here on the last update other than enough dry air may be involved to save at least part of the Patriots home game tonight from a driving rain, with just a bit of drizzle and passing areas of much lighter rain. It will be breezy and quite cool though, so if you are going to that game, dress accordingly for a gusty breeze and temperatures around 50, definitely not nearly as bad as it can be in the stadium later in the season or during the playoffs! Still looking for a slow pull-away of the storm later Friday after some additional rain, and Saturday, which will still feature a lot of clouds and a threat of a few showers along with continued breezy conditions. But the middle and end of the Columbus Day Weekend will be quite nice with a westerly air flow bringing mostly fair and milder weather but we will have to watch for a disturbance moving through around Sunday night or early Monday with a brief rain shower risk.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 15-19)
\nGenerally westerly flow, overall pattern is dry, but trough crossing eastern Canada will parent a low pressure area which will drag a warm front \/ cold front combo across the region with a wet weather threat about mid period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 19-23)
\nStill a little uncertainty as to the overall pattern heading from mid toward late October. Taking medium range model bias into account going to hold onto the mostly west to east flow with a warm-up peaking at mid period, and mostly dry weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
