DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 27-DECEMBER 1)
\nI’m a bit late with the post this morning so right to it with a quick update. Only minor tweaks for this forecast with everything very similar to yesterday’s update. Mature low pressure moving from the Great Lakes into the St. Lawrence Valley today and tonight sends an occluded front across the region with a couple bands of rain, timed to move west to east across the region to slow any late-day \/ evening commute. But hey, it’s not snow right? This moves out overnight as low pressure redevelops in the Gulf of Maine then moves eastward. A lobe of energy on what was the old frontal boundary will swing through southeastern New England during the early to mid morning hours of Thanksgiving Day, producing lots of clouds and possibly a couple passing rain or snow showers. This will not be a major factor for morning road races and football games, but the wind will start to pick up during this time and it will be on the chilly side by then, so keep this in mind if you plan to be outside watching or partaking in any of these events. By the afternoon, drier air will be taking over and sunshine will be more dominant, as will a chilly breeze. These breezy and chilly conditions will persist through Friday and into Saturday as the low to the east becomes a beast and a big high pressure area sits in eastern Canada. This high pressure area will initially do its part to hold off the next low pressure area moving toward the region, but clouds will move in by Sunday, and precipitation by Sunday night, which may start as snow over a good portion of the region with just enough cold air in place. Will fine-tune this as we get closer.

DAYS 6-10 (DECEMBER 2-6)
\nLow pressure should pass just south of the region December 2 but close enough to bring enough warm air in both surface and aloft for a mainly rain event (after a possible start as snow the night before). Will still have to monitor for any changes in the storm track. Windy\/colder\/drier December 3 behind this system. Next low pressure system threatens later December 4 to early December 5 with rain or snow but may be too far offshore for significant impact. Dry, chilly weather follows this.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (DECEMBER 7-11)
\nGeneral west to east flow. Dry weather should dominate in the December 7-9 time frame with unsettled weather (rain or snow threat) later in the period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
