DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 15-19)
\nHigh pressure brings fair weather today, even into the first part of Wednesday, and then a vigorous low pressure trough, this time in the jet stream rather than cut off from it, will travel eastward and max out close to New England Wednesday night and early Thursday, with an initial surface low redeveloping pretty much right over southern New England. This will bring wet weather and wind, with the heaviest rainfall and possible thunder being a quick-hitting event for the region, followed by lingering rain showers as the low does a cyclonic loop pretty much right over the region. I feel that models are overdoing both the rainfall amounts and the intensity of the low, however it will be a decent autumn storm system nonetheless. By Friday, we’re back in dry weather but with a gusty breeze and cool air, and after a cold start Saturday, high pressure settling to the south of the region will provide a very nice mid October day to start the weekend.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 20-24)
\nHigh pressure brings fair, mild weather October 20. It will stay mild into the start of next week but a cold front will approach then pass through sometime in the October 22-23 period with rain showers then a switch to cooler weather. Another disturbance may bring a risk of rain showers by the end of the period as a westerly flow dominates.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 25-29)
\nLeaning more toward westerly flow domination and less risk of any impact from low pressure to the south from that October 26-28 period I’ve been watching. A storm may still form to the south but there are weaker indications of it being able to come northward if it does. The pattern would support up and down temperatures and limited rain shower risks, but a strong enough westerly flow may allow for a shot of very cool air before the end of the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
