DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 19-23)
\nHigh pressure provides a nice weekend for the most part. If you want lots of sun, today’s definitely the pick of the 2 days. We will have to encounter a small speed bump as the weekend comes to an end in the form of increasing clouds during Sunday and the risk of a period of rain especially in RI and southeastern MA. This will be due to the close pass of the low pressure remains of Tropical Storm Nestor, a fairly quick-moving tropical system from the Gulf of Mexico that is crossing the southeastern US at this time. This low will be slowing and turning more to the east from its northeastward track as it passes, keeping that rain threat to the south, but subsequently leaving some of its moisture in a position to be at least partially grabbed by a low pressure trough approaching New England from the west on Tuesday. Impact of this interaction will not be significant, but it may end up a little more than just a band of showers Tuesday night and early Wednesday, so while this doesn’t turn into a major event or anywhere near it, it may just be a little more noticeable than it would have been. However, before that happens, it looks like we squeeze in some decent and mild weather for much of Monday and even into Tuesday, with the latter dependent on how much low cloudiness forms and moves in from the southeast ahead of the next system. When we get to Wednesday, a cold front will sweep through early and the unsettled stuff will be pushed offshore, with fair and breezy weather arriving.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 24-28)
\nHigh pressure brings fair and seasonably cool weather October 24 before moving offshore with a warm-up October 25 after a chilly start. Weekend of October 26-27 carries the potential for unsettled weather but too far away for details. Drier, possibly colder end of period as behind any unsettled threat comes a push of chilly air from Canada.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 29-NOVEMBER 2)
\nCaution needed for the forecast this far out with one model pushing a colder picture while another reliable one says “not so fast”. When I see this happen, knowing the colder model tends to rush pattern changes, my leaning is toward and up-and-down temperature pattern with 1 or 2 opportunities for mostly minor precipitation events. Elaboration will take place when there is enough confidence for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
