DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 20-24)
\nAn ocean storm will move northeastward passing east of New England today and tonight, but an inverted trough extending back over New England will allow for unsettled weather starting out as areas of fog and drizzle then becoming rain and snow showers. The most likely areas to see snow showers will be interior locations northwest of Boston to start, then progressing south and east with time through evening, but no accumulation of snow will occur from this activity save for brief dustings on unpaved surfaces especially this evening. Dry air arrives overnight and we’ll need to watch for some spotty ice on surfaces that don’t dry off. But that dry air means a nice day Thursday as high pressure dominates. With weather systems moving right along we’ll be seeing low pressure track north of the region Friday, bringing a warm front \/ cold front combo across the region. The warm front may result in a touch of light rain\/sleet in the pre-dawn hours on Friday, and the cold front will bring a rain shower risk later Friday, with a nice shot of mild air between the two precipitation threats. Looking ahead to the weekend, the early call is for a split, with high pressure bringing chilly but fair weather Saturday, and a low pressure area bringing a shot at some precipitation Sunday – the details to be fine-tuned as it gets closer.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 25-29)
\nWeather pattern for Thanksgiving Week expected to feature a west to east flow, storm track north of New England, with 2 cold frontal passages favoring late November 27 \/ early November 28 and again late November 29 early November 30. These would bring minor precipitation threats favoring rain showers. Much of the week expected to be dry with overall temperatures near to slightly above normal.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 4)
\nAs we end November and head into December the pattern is likely to resemble somebody shaking a rope with lots of progressive ridges and troughs wet to east across the US, so timing things will be very difficult so far in advance. But two things we may see heading into the early days of December include the risk of a somewhat widespread snowfall and a return to somewhat colder weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
