DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 6-10)

A warm & windy Wednesday is what we have today in the warm sector ahead of an approaching cold front. This front, and a couple secondary boundaries following it, will stair-step us back toward seasonably cool as we head toward the weekend. A gusty breeze will often be with us during this transition, and with the lack of rainfall, fire danger will remain high. During Sunday, clouds return ahead of an approaching warm front, but I’m skeptical of how much rainfall some of the guidance paints for our area. Chance of rain: Yes. Chance of significant rain: Low. More to come on this…

TODAY: Lots of sun. Highs 71-78. Wind SW to W 10-20 MPH, gusts 25-35 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 51-58. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear followed by high clouds. Lows 25-32. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Thickening clouds. Chance of rain at night. Highs 46-53. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 11-15)

Overall pattern is dry, up and down temps but mild for the 5-day stretch. Brief interruption of unsettled weather most likely around November 14.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 15-19)

Stronger evidence of a continuation of the same pattern from days 6-10. Mostly dry, up and down temps, brief interruption of unsettled weather most likely around November 17.

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 5-9)

A warm front goes by early today and introduces another mild air mass, along with breezy conditions, for today and Wednesday. Along with this will come elevated fire danger as the dry spell continues with only some limited warm frontal rainfall having passed mostly to our north last night. A cold front comes along late Wednesday, but outside of a brief rain shower chance, the dry weather continues as we trend cooler and stay breeze later in the week – a west to northwest flow taking over, while a series of fronts knock the temps back down to seasonable.

TODAY: Clouds give way to sun. Highs 66-73. Wind S to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH, gusts up to 25 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 53-60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, gusts up to 30 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 51-58. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 48-55. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts up to 20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 10-14)

Next trough and frontal system passing through in the November 10-11 window doesn’t look like a big precipitation producer, and focuses on late November 10, but November 11 (Veterans Day) may end up breezy but quite mild. A cool-down mid to late period with more dry weather expected.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 15-19)

A front that goes by early in the period may hang up near enough to the coast so that we can get some additional low pressure to bring more rain, but don’t hold your breath this far in advance. Beyond that more dry weather in the cards. No major temperature extremes.

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 4-8)

This week, we remain in the dry, temperature roller-coaster pattern, with a cold start, a warm middle, and a cooler finish. High pressure slides off to our east today and a warm front approaches with an increase in clouds. Rainfall from this front, save for a possible brief few drops, travels to our north tonight. The front passes and opens the door for breezy, mild weather for Election Day and Wednesday, with only a slight rain shower chance by Wednesday evening as a cold front sails into and across the region, parented by low pressure passing to our north. The dry, windy conditions will stoke additional brush fire chances. Existing fires can spread and new fires can start easily in these conditions. The late week cool-down comes with continued dry conditions that will allow fire danger to continue and drought to expand further.

TODAY: Lots of clouds / limited sun. Highs 48-55. Wind calm to SE under 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 40-47 early, then a slow temperature rise. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Clouds give way to sun. Highs 66-73. Wind S to SW increasing to 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 53-60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 51-58. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 9-13)

Next trough and frontal system passing through sometime during the November 9-11 period, but not looking like a significant precipitation producer as the dry pattern rolls on with variable temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 14-18)

A couple hints at maybe some rainfall chances early in this period, but still no real strong indication of major pattern change in the cards as of yet. Monitoring…

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 3-7)

We left Daylight Saving Time and returned to Standard Time early this morning (2:00 a.m. EDT became 1:00 a.m. EST). If you haven’t changed your non-auto-changing clocks, make sure you do so! As we get ready for the first before 5:00 p.m. sunset today, we’ll enjoy more sun than we saw yesterday, and it will be dry and seasonably cool with high pressure in control. Heading into the new week, we look at a pattern similar to the previous week, with a warm front approaching later Monday and moving through Tuesday, leading to a midweek warm-up, starting to get knocked in the other direction Thursday when a cold front goes through. You might think we have a shot at some beneficial precipitation with temperature changes and frontal systems, but this is not going to be the case, as our dry spell rolls on.

TODAY: Sunshine – patchy high clouds. Highs 48-55. wind NW up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variable high clouds. Patchy ground fog. Lows 33-40. Wind calm.

MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 52-59. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 44-51. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 52-59. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 61-68. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 8-13)

More up and down temperatures in a continued mainly dry weather pattern heading into mid month, including the long weekend November 9-11).

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 14-18)

Leaning drier over wetter. If blocking evolves, should be strong enough to hold wet weather mostly to the south. Favoring westerly air flow domination and up-and-down temperatures mid month.

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 2-6)

Our dry spell continues along with an up-and-down temperature pattern. This first weekend of November will feature cooler weather thanks to Canadian high pressure. A warm front will approach from the southwest after the high moves off to the east on Monday. As is often the case during droughts, low pressure systems and fronts can struggle to deliver significant rain, and the upcoming system that sends a warm front through here early Tuesday and a cold front later Wednesday as low pressure travels to our north will struggle. Very little rainfall seems likely from it. Temperatures will go up in the “warm sector” during Tuesday and Wednesday, however, with a nice mild spell following the cooler one.

TODAY: Cloud/sun mix. Highs 52-59. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Radiation fog patches interior lower elevation locations. Lows 30-37. Wind NW under 10 MPH becoming calm.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny but patchy high clouds during the afternoon hours. Highs 52-59. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: High clouds increase. Lows 35-42. Wind variable to SE under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 52-59. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 44-51. Wind SE to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 7-11)

Cooler trend November 7-9 with a couple of cold fronts moving through and a generally dry west to northwest flow. Moderation briefly later in the period before the next front passes again likely without much fanfare as the dry pattern rolls on.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 12-16)

Still not a lot of indication of any switch in the pattern to one with wetter weather, but will watch as there had been some signs of blocking with some storminess to the south. But at the moment I see nothing that screams to me “big pattern change”, just mostly more of the same dry, non-stormy pattern with up and down temperatures.

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 1-5)

Some brief light showers moved quickly across parts of southern NH around dawn today associated with the first of 2 boundaries to move through. This first one shifts the wind but allows today to remain mild with dry weather, though lots of clouds will dominate the sky during the morning before sun returns. The more significant cool air sits behind the second boundary which will swing through this evening with a few more passing clouds. High pressure builds in for the weekend with fair, chilly early November weather, and this is the weekend that is one hour longer than usual since we do the clock-flip back to standard time at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, which becomes 1:00 a.m. Sunday. High pressure slides out of our area early next week and a warm front approaches Monday, returning clouds to the region, and eventually a rain chance, though that looks limited. It does look, at this point, that the front will make its way through here on Tuesday but it may be a slow process. We probably will have a day dominated by clouds, and slow to warm up, but also largely rain-free. Fine-tuning to come.

TODAY: Lots of clouds A.M. / Lots of sun P.M. Highs 70-77. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to W.

TONIGHT: A few clouds – mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to NW.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Fog patches lower elevations especially over ponds, swamps, and bogs. Lows 30-37. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny but patchy high clouds during the afternoon hours. Highs 52-59. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: High clouds increase. Lows 35-42. Wind variable to SE under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Clouds thicken. Chance of rain in the afternoon. Highs 52-59. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Areas of fog. Lows 44-51. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog and a chance of drizzle early in the day. Highs 63-70. Wind SE up to 10 MPH shifting to SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 6-10)

Mild with a low rain shower chance November 6 as a cold front moves into and eventually through the region. A couple secondary frontal boundaries knock the temperatures back to cooler levels with mainly dry weather for the balance of next week.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 11-15)

Large scale pattern indications continues for some blocking with high pressure to our north strongest and unsettled weather held off to our south most of the time. That’s a continued dry pattern here.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 4)

Some higher dew point air has made its way into southeastern New England ahead of a cold front, and with winds having been fairly light overnight, some areas of fog formed, dense in spots, with an otherwise mostly clear sky above. Any fog will dissipate early this morning and we’ll see plenty of sun albeit filtered by a lot of high clouds during the day today, and a fair evening for Halloween activities but increasing clouds later on. The most notable aspect of today’s weather will be the warm air in place, with high temperatures making runs at records for the date (from 1946) but probably falling short of reaching them in general. A cold front will cross the region Friday morning with lots of clouds, but any rain shower activity will be very limited, with many areas seeing nothing of any note. It will still be a mild day Friday as we have to wait for a secondary front to cross the region in the evening bringing a cooler surge of air in to start the weekend. High pressure will build in Saturday and stay in place Sunday with dry weather for the first weekend of November. After the high moves away, a warm front will approach on Monday, bringing clouds back along with a rain chance, although as seems to be the case with many of our systems during our current dry regime, that rain chance does not look too significant.

TODAY: Early fog patches dissipate. Sun/cloud mix. Highs 65-72 South Coast, 72-79 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

HALLOWEEN EVENING: Partly cloudy. Temperatures 65-75, coolest South Coast, mildest inland valley areas. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

OVENIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers. Lows 53-60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Lots of clouds early morning including a rain shower chance near the South Coast, then sun and passing clouds. Highs 70-77. Wind SW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to W.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 33-40. Wind W 5-15 MPH, shifting to NW.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Fog patches lower elevations especially over ponds, swamps, and bogs. Lows 30-37. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny but patchy high clouds during the afternoon hours. Highs 52-59. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: High clouds increase. Lows 35-42. Wind variable to SE under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Clouds thicken. Chance of rain in the afternoon. Highs 52-59. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 5-9)

Low pressure passes north of our region early to mid period. Warm front struggles initially to go through with clouds, a rain/drizzle chance, and a cool start then eventually warming later November 5. A very mild November 6 with mainly dry weather and a minimal rain shower threat. A series of cold fronts knocks the temperature back down mid to late period but with mainly dry weather. More details to come.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 11-15)

Large scale pattern indications are for some blocking with high pressure to our north strongest and unsettled weather held off to our south most of the time.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 30 – NOVEMBER 3)

A slug of rainfall moved across the region last night, associated with a passing warm front. While this rain may not have extinguished the brush fires, it certainly helped with their control, and crews should have them largely out by day’s end today in the areas they were most concentrated, particularly Essex County MA. And this is a good thing, because the wind comes up today as we enter a brief but notable warm spell, and continues Thursday, Halloween, where a few record high temps may be threatened, but I do not think beaten. We’ll contend with a lot of cloud cover today which will limit the temperature rise. While more sun will allow a warmer day Thursday, I do think this particular push of warm air and associated atmospheric set-up is not enough to push us to the notoriously warm 1946 Halloween level. This will be in sharp contrast to last Halloween however, when the high was just 50 at Boston. For towns and cities that do trick or treat on Thursday evening, expect a notable but not bothersome breeze, dry weather, and temperatures which ease back from the lower 70s to the middle 60s during the early evening. A cold front waits until Friday morning to pass through the region. While this front brings a rain shower chance, any that do occur will not be beneficial for helping with any remaining fires or aiding in our ongoing precipitation deficit. While Friday will be a mild day, the passing front will lead a cooler air mass into the region for the weekend, which will feature dry weather as high pressure builds in.

TODAY: I-95 belt eastward starts the day with low overcast, patchy fog and drizzle. Abundant clouds / limited sun. Highs 65-72. Wind SW increasing to 10-20 MPH including some higher gusts especially South Coast and hills.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 51-58. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Passing clouds / in-and-out sun. Highs 65-72 South Coast, 72-79 elsewhere. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

HALLOWEEN EVENING: Partly cloudy. Temperatures 65-75, coolest South Coast, mildest inland valley areas. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers overnight. Lows 53-60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Lots of clouds early morning including a rain shower chance near the South Coast, then sun and passing clouds. Highs 65-72 by midday, but turning cooler from northwest to southeast during midday and afternoon. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Fog patches lower elevations especially over ponds, swamps, and bogs. Lows 30-37. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Mostly sunny but patchy high clouds during the afternoon hours. Highs 52-59. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 4-8)

Low pressure heads from the Midwest to the Great Lakes early next week – its warm front approaching but struggling initially to move through, some cool/wet weather is a potential November 4-5. May break briefly into warmth midweek before a cold front sends it back to dry and chilly here. Will work out the details and timing as we get closer.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 10-14)

Large scale pattern indications are for some blocking with high pressure to our north strongest and unsettled weather held off to our south most of the time.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 29 – NOVEMBER 2)

High pressure provides fair and cool weather for our region today, but after some morning low clouds break up, you’ll notice clouds increasing as a warm front approaches from the west. These clouds thicken up this evening and a period of rain is probable in much of the region, but favoring the northern half for most coverage. However, this will be a brief event, maybe a little helpful in fighting the ongoing fires in the region, but no help in slowing down the building abnormally dry / moderate drought conditions. Behind the warm front we’ll experience a windy Wednesday as the warmer air flows into the region, and this will be with us Thursday, even a bit warmer and still quite breezy. Activities for Halloween evening look like they will take place with rain-free, breezy, and mild conditions (temps falling from the 70s to the 60s). Low pressure passing to our north will drag a cold front through the region during the early hours of Friday, bringing a broken band of rain showers. This system looks progressive and should be moving away Friday morning, with a return to dry weather along with breezy and cooler conditions during the day. High pressure builds in with fair, cool weather for Saturday.

TODAY: Low clouds break up and give way to sun, but sun becomes filtered to dimmed by increasing high clouds from west to east in the afternoon. Highs 55-62. Wind variable to SE up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Cloudy. A period of rain likely. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 50-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 71-78. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers overnight. Lows 53-60. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 62-69 by midday, then cooling into the 50s. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 3-7)

Dry, cooler weather November 3-4 with Canadian high pressure. A frontal boundary and low pressure waves bring the potential for some rainfall at times in the November 5-7 period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 8-12)

Overall pattern remains dry. No major temperature extremes indicated.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 28 – NOVEMBER 1)

A cold front crossing the region first thing this morning produces a rain or snow shower for southern NH and northern MA. Any flakes will be fleeting! High pressure crosses the region today into Tuesday with fair, cool weather. A warm front moves through the region from west to east Tuesday night, bringing with it an abbreviated rain chance, but leading a warm air mass into the region for midweek, including Halloween on Thursday. A cold front will sag southeastward across the region early Friday, moving offshore by later in the day, bringing a rain shower opportunity, but no beneficial rain as our dry spell continues. It will put an end to the brief warm spell.

TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Brief rain and/or snow shower southern NH and northern MA until mid morning. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, shifting to N and diminishing.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32 except 32-39 urban centers and immediate shoreline. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunshine, filtered by increasing high clouds in the afternoon. Highs 55-62. Wind variable to SE up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. A period or two of light rain is possible, favoring areas north of I-90. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 50-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain showers overnight. Lows 53-60. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain showers during the morning. Increasing sun northwest to southeast afternoon. Highs 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 2-6)

Dry, cooler weather for the November 2-3 weekend with Canadian high pressure. A frontal boundary and low pressure waves bring the potential for some rainfall November 4-5 followed by the return to dry weather at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 7-11)

Overall pattern remains dry. No major temperature extremes indicated.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 27-31)

One cold front moved through the region yesterday. A band of clouds exited the region to start the day, otherwise we saw a sun with passing clouds and a gusty wind, though it was still mild with high temperatures over 60. Today, cooler air has settled in with high temperatures failing to exceed 60. Wind will be a little lighter than yesterday and high pressure will provide another day of fair weather. Another cold front will move quickly through the region tonight with a few clouds, but no precipitation due to a continued lack of moisture. This will lead to an even cooler day Monday, though the gusty breeze that greets you in the morning will drop off later. High pressure moves right over the region Monday night – the perfect radiational cooling set up to send much of the region below freezing for Tuesday morning low temperatures, except some immediate shore locations and urban centers. Tuesday itself will be another nice day, and after the cold start we’ll see a decent temperature recovery during the day. High clouds will be noticed streaming in from the west and northwest as the day goes on. These clouds will thicken up Tuesday night into early Wednesday along with a brief chance of rain. This will be a warm front passing by and will lead to fair weather and above normal temperatures for the middle of the week, and the final two days of October. A cold front will be approaching by Thursday, but the early idea is that any rain shower threat from this system will hold off until after Halloween evening activities.

TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to W.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 30-37. Wind W 5-15 MPH, higher gusts, shifting to NW.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, shifting to N and diminishing.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 25-32 except 32-39 urban centers and immediate shoreline. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunshine, filtered by increasing high clouds in the afternoon. Highs 55-62. Wind variable to SE up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A period or two of light rain is possible, favoring areas north of I-90. Lows 45-52. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 50-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 1-5)

Cold front passes with a rain shower chance early November 1, then a return to dry, cooler weather lasting through the November 2-3 weekend. Unsettled weather chance with some possible rain November 4-5 as a frontal boundary and low pressure waves temporarily overtake the area.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 6-10)

Overall pattern goes back to dry. No major temperature extremes indicated.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 26-30)

A cold front will move through the region today, leading an even cooler air mass into our region along with a gusty breeze, but again rainfall will be largely absent from the air mass introduction. What won’t be absent is higher fire danger due to the ongoing dry conditions with gusty wind added. The cool and dry weather will continue into the early part of the coming week as well, aided by the passage of yet another front late Sunday night. This one may have just enough moisture to bring a brief shower of rain and/or snow to southern New Hampshire, but that should be about the limit of any precipitation chances. As high pressure moves across the region then to the east and south of us toward the middle of next week, a temperature moderation will begin. A warm front will cross the region Tuesday night or early Wednesday with some clouds (but again limited a rain chance), aiding in initiating the warm-up.

TODAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 54-61. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts early, but diminishing.

SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. A brief rain and/or snow shower possible southern NH late evening. Lows 30-37. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, diminishing.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 57-64. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Slight chance of brief rain favoring areas north of I-90. Lows 42-49. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Early clouds, then sun dominates. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 4)

Fair, mild weather for Halloween, but a cold front crosses there region late night or early November 1 with a rain shower threat and a switch to breezy, cooler weather. High pressure brings fair, seasonable weather for the November 2-3 weekend. A rain chance exists at the end of the period – watching low pressure to potentially approach from the southwest.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 5-9)

Overall pattern goes back to dry. No major temperature extremes indicated.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 25-29)

High pressure brings fair and cooler weather to the region during today. Another cold front slides across the region Saturday morning with some clouds although the rain shower chance seems pretty absent at this point. This front will introduce even cooler air to the region for the weekend, along with a gusty breeze at times, but continued dry weather. Chilly high pressure builds in Monday with more of the same, then the high slides off to the east Tuesday at which time a temperature moderation gets underway.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 56-63. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to SW and diminishing.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 42-49. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Variably cloudy with a slight chance of a quick-passing rain shower in the morning. Sun and passing clouds afternoon. Highs 53-60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy early, then clear. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind calm.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 35-42. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 60-67. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 30 – NOVEMBER 3)

High pressure shifts to the south and east with fair weather and a warming trend into the middle of next week. Timing of next frontal boundary looks around November 1 with a rain shower chance, then a cool-down going into the first weekend of November.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 4-8)

Continuing to lean dry for the pattern, but still eyeing potential wetter weather to our south should the pattern shift enough to bring it north.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 24-28)

The coming 5 days will be cooler than the previous several days, starting with a cold front cutting across the region this morning with a few light rain showers, and a follow-up front doing something similar early Saturday. Otherwise, dry weather will be the rule. Gusty breezes will be around behind the front today, and a renewed bout of breezy weather will occur over the weekend. Winds settle down with high centers closest Friday and again by Monday.

TODAY: Lots of clouds and a few very light rain showers in the area early, then a sun/cloud mix. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts in the evening.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 56-63. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to SW and diminishing.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 42-49. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Variably cloudy with a chance of a quick-passing rain shower in the morning. Sun and passing clouds afternoon. Highs 53-60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy early, then clear. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind calm.

MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 29 – NOVEMBER 2)

No changes. High pressure shifts to the south and east with fair weather and a warming trend into the middle of next week. Timing of next frontal boundary looks around November 1 with a rain shower chance, then a cool-down going into the first weekend of November.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 3-7)

Continuing to lean dry for the pattern, but still eyeing potential wetter weather to our south should the pattern shift enough to bring it north.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 23-27)

Our dry pattern continues, though there will be some changes in our weather, mainly temperature-related, during the coming several days. Of note is that higher fire danger will be continuing due to the ongoing dryness and more wind in the forecast. We have one more warm day to enjoy today, but the breeze from the south will be picking up ahead of a cold front that will move across our region during the early hours of Thursday. Meanwhile, a storm well offshore to our south and southeast will drift northeastward and by Thursday will be located well to our east. While this system won’t even come close to sending rain our way, it will play a role in dragging cooler air down from the north as we end up on the western periphery of its circulation on Thursday. High pressure builds closer to the region Friday and while it will be a cool day, it will also be more tranquil. Another cold front will move across the region on Saturday, but like its predecessor, this one will also be moisture-starved, and be represented by some clouds and a wind shift rather than any rainfall chances. This will lead the coolest air mass of the season so far into our region for the second half of the upcoming weekend, but with continued dry weather conditions.

TODAY: Foggy areas until mid morning, otherwise a sun/cloud mix, with clouds most concentrated near the South Coast. Highs 67-74, coolest South Coast. Wind S to SW increasing to 5-15 MPH, gusts above 20 MPH in the afternoon.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. A slight chance of a brief very light rain shower north of I-90 overnight. Lows 52-59. Wind SW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts.

THURSDAY: A sun/cloud mix with most clouds over eastern areas through midday. Highs 58-65. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts at times.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH with higher gusts in the evening.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 5-15 MPH shifting to SW and diminishing.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 42-49. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Variably cloudy with a chance of a quick-passing rain shower in the morning. Sun and passing clouds afternoon. Highs 53-60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy early, then clear. Lows 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

SUNDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 50-57. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 28 – NOVEMBER 1)

High pressure slips offshore and low pressure travels from the Upper Midwest through the Great Lakes, putting our region into a warming southwestern air flow for the first half of next week. Around Halloween expect another moisture-starved front to approach with just some clouds, and a switch to slightly cooler weather behind as November arrives.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 2-6)

Previously I’d spoken about having to watch potential low pressure to our south and increased chance of rainfall at some point, but indications are currently stronger for a continued mainly dry pattern in early November.
