DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 3-7)

High pressure remains anchored to our south and east into midweek with fair, very mild weather. Details day to today include some cloudiness today due to warming aloft, the sunniest day Wednesday when record highs for the date can be challenged, and an increase in clouds Thursday with the approach of a trough and cold front from the west. It does now look like we can get through much of Thursday rain-free with the shower threat remaining mostly west of the region and not moving into the area until that night. This front will then become quasi-stationary Friday into Saturday as a wave of low pressure forms on it to our south then moves up across the region, increasing rain chances during Friday and into part of Saturday. There are some details to work out with this part of the forecast, including where a heavier band of rain may set up, and just how quickly everything winds down during Saturday as the system starts to pull away to the north and east. The next couple updates should serve to clarify these points. One certainty, our anomalous warmth will be a done deal by the end of the week as it cools back down.

TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 66-73. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 48-55. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-77 except a bit cooler South Coast / Cape Cod. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 50-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Highs 66-73. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Areas of fog. Lows 52-59. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Cloudy. Episodes of rain showers. Highs 60-67. Wind S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts South Coast.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Lows 48-55. Wind variable to NE 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY: Cloudy with periods of rain in the morning. Variably cloudy with a chance of showers afternoon. Highs 55-62 may occur before noon before cooling down. Wind N 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 8-12)

Northwesterly flow evolves November 8-10 with a shower chance from a passing disturbance November 9, otherwise mostly dry conditions. High pressure builds in for tranquil conditions for Veterans Day – November 11 before we watch for the approach of a disturbance and more clouds and potential wet weather at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 13-17)

Unsettled potential early period, then a trend back to drier. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 2-6)

High pressure drifts offshore to our south and east today through Wednesday with fair, mild weather. After this, a trough approaches from the west along with an initial surface low passing to our north later Thursday into Friday, bringing in a lot of clouds and eventual shower activity, especially as the front slows down near (probably just west of) the region on Friday, a day that will be mild and humid with waves of shower activity.

TODAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 63-70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 47-54. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 67-74. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 48-55. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy. Late-day rain shower potential. Highs 65-72. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain showers likely. Areas of fog. Lows 52-59. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Cloudy. Episodes of rain showers. Highs 60-67. Wind S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts South Coast.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 7-11)

As a trough moves eastward through the region over the November 7-8 weekend, I expect lingering unsettled weather with lots of clouds and a shower chance November 7 with a wind shift and cool-down. Surface high pressure noses in with fair weather by November 8. Watching for a quick-moving system to bring additional unsettled weather early next week before a trend back to fair toward Veterans Day, although forecast confidence drops notably during this period due to how far into the future it is along with medium range model inconsistencies.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 12-16)

Unsettled potential early period, then a trend back to drier. Temperatures near to above normal.

COMMENTARY

Welcome to November 2026! This is the first day of the third month of Meteorological Autumn, and also the day (this year) we have made the switch from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time. If you have any clocks that do not automatically switch, and you haven’t switched them, now would be the time to do so! My other reason for this commentary section before I move onto the daily forecast discussion and details and look a little further out to mid month is just to thank everybody for being a part of this weather blog! There’s a core group of folks who chat in the comments section daily who are like a family, and it’s always wonderful to see them there. But there are also many folks who are just here to read the blog itself and choose not to participate in the commentary, and that’s perfectly OK. Nobody is required to comment, but you are always encouraged to do so! I do allow a bit off off-weather chat there, but I do maintain a “no politics” policy for obvious reasons. There are other places to take those types of discussions, and I do like to keep the focus mainly on the weather in that section, again with the occasional deviation to maybe a word game or sports or even general news items. I try to monitor the blog the best I can, and have a couple others watching it to make sure things don’t get out of hand. So this part of this commentary is just a reminder to keep that in check. If people think about what they are going to say before they say it, we’d find the need for moderation action would be minimal. I think everybody can do that! And I say this now not because there has been a problem, but just as a reminder only! Regarding my discussions and my own comments, you’ll continue to see the no-hype style I’ve always used, and a blog that may include links to graphics and pictures from other cited sources, but not a blog that I am going to load up with colorful images. I prefer the text blog format as a break from all of that because it’s all out there in abundance, and my opinion of just how much is out there can be saved for another commentary section. Haha! Not that I’m against it. I’m not. But I like this place to be an alternative to all of that, and so it remains! My forecasts are not always going to be on the money – none of us can do that. But you can always be sure that I will give it my best shot and will be ready to admit when I’ve messed it up. If you can’t do that, you can’t learn why you did it and try to improve. That’s part of the scientific method. And meteorology is science. I will continue to use the scientific method when crafting my discussions and predictions. Without that foundation, nothing else you do is going to carry much value. Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy this blog moving forward through the rest of 2026 and into the year ahead! Two notes: 1) My winter forecast will be issued somewhere around November 20. 2) Most of you know this, but in case you do not, I will be having a heart procedure to repair my mitral valve, as well as an ablation for arrhythmia, in late January of 2027. This will probably result in the blog not being updated for a handful of days starting with the day of the procedure and (if all goes as planned) a couple to a few days in ICU. I’ll update everybody on this as it gets closer. Thanks again everybody for your support!

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 1-5)

High pressure continues to dominate our weather as we start November and will provide fair, pleasantly cool weather today followed by a warming trend heading toward midweek as the high center slips eastward and offshore. A trough will approach our region by Thursday, with increased moisture due to a southerly air flow on the back side of the high. This introduces the chance of rain showers by that day.

TODAY: Sunny. Highs 56-63. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 38-45. Wind S under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 43-50. Wind SW to variable under 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 60-67. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 43-50. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 62-69. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Lows 48-55. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Chance of showers. Highs 58-65. Wind S 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 6-10)

A trough from the west and moisture from the south combine for a good shot at widespread rainfall on November 6, after which the surface system departs but upper low pressure keeps it unsettled November 7 before high pressure brings dry weather November 8-9. Next unsettled weather chance ~ November 10. Temps start mild, turn cooler, then moderate. Lots of detail to work out for this period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 10-14)

Unsettled potential early period, then a trend to dry. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 4)

The busy, gusty wind of last night has diminished and Halloween 2026 will be a fair, cool, and tranquil day. High pressure builds over the region today and tonight making this the case, and will result in a quick cool-down this evening from the 50s to the 40s but with very little wind for outdoor activities. Remember also that this night is longer than usual by 1 hour, as we flip the clocks back at 2:00 a.m. Sunday in the transition from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time. Sunday and Monday will feature unlimited sun, but a different kind of limit will be noticed when the sun sets prior to 5:00 p.m. – ’tis the season! A weak disturbance passes by to our north Tuesday with some patchy clouds, otherwise as we head toward midweek high pressure slips offshore and we start to get into a milder southern air flow. By Wednesday, we may see some additional cloudiness this timing coming in with increased moisture from the south.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 26-33 except 34-41 coastal & urban areas. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 56-63. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 38-45. Wind S under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 43-50. Wind SW to variable under 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 60-67. Wind variable to S up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 43-50. Wind S up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 62-69. Wind S 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 5-9)

A trough from the west and moisture from the south combine for increased shower chances November 5 and a more widespread rainfall on November 6. This system shifts off to the east thereafter, though upper level low pressure lingering can keep some clouds around along with a gusty wind and cooler weather heading into the first full weekend of November before high pressure settles in at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 10-14)

Watching for mid period unsettled weather with a passing trough, flanked by fair weather. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 30 – NOVEMBER 3)

We’ve just enough moisture to kick off a few showers in eastern MA to the NH Seacoast as today dawn’s and a cold front moves through. Behind this front it will be a breezy and still-mild day however, the breeze quite gusty and boosting fire danger somewhat. A secondary front will move through this evening and that will be the introduction of a cooler air mass that will be with us for the coming weekend, which includes Halloween, the switch from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time, and the first day of November. For Halloween evening shenanigans, expect a clear sky, light wind, but a quick drop-off in temperature as the wind is fairly calm – starting in the 50s at sunset and ending up in the 40s not long after. High pressure will dominate early next week with additional fair weather and milder air returning.

TODAY: Early clouds including quick-passing scattered showers NH Seacoast through eastern MA, then sunshine returning. Highs 65-72. Wind W 10-20 MPH, gusts up to 30 MPH.

TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 26-33 except 34-41 coastal & urban areas. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 56-63. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind S under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 43-50. Wind SW to variable under 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 60-67. Wind variable to SE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 4-8)

Pattern trends a bit more active. Low pressure brings a wet weather chance mid period. Details TBD. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 9-13)

Disturbance or two with potential unsettled weather in the November 10-12 period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 29 – NOVEMBER 2)

No changes. High pressure dominates. The first area of high pressure sinks to the south of our region today allowing a warm-up. A cold front moves through with clouds tonight and early Friday and shifts the wind, and a cooler high pressure area moves in from Canada for the weekend, but not before Friday is another mild day waiting for a secondary boundary to move through later in the day before the cooler air starts to move in. For Halloween on Saturday, it will be clear, calm, and quickly cooling off in the evening with temps falling from highs in the 50s into and through the 40s, but without any notable wind. Daylight Saving Time ends and standard time returns on Sunday morning when 2:00 a.m. EDT becomes 1:00 a.m. EST. What once looked like a low pressure area to bring a rain chance Monday now looks like only a weak disturbance with some clouds around that day, but the weather currently looks dry.

TODAY: Sunny. Highs 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clouds move in. Lows 46-53. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Clouds move out / sun returns. Highs 65-72. Wind SW shifting to NW 5-15 MPH.

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

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 26-33 except 34-41 coastal & urban areas. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 56-63. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45. Wind S under 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Variably cloudy. Highs 57-64. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 3-7)

Greatest threat of wet weather is about November 6 in an otherwise mostly dry and mild pattern.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 8-12)

Disturbance or two with potential unsettled weather in the November 10-12 period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 28 – NOVEMBER 1)

High pressure maintains control of our weather through the weekend. The only “interruption” will be two frontal boundaries that pass by during Friday, the first in the pre-dawn hours with some cloudiness and perhaps a sprinkle of rain, and the second later Friday with little fanfare other than a breeze and the introduction of a slightly cooler air mass after a prior warm-up. The weekend, which is one hour longer due to changing the clocks back 1 hour at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, will be dominated by high pressure, including Halloween evening which will be dry and cool with light winds for outdoor shenanigans.

TODAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 32-39. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 43-50. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 65-72. Wind SW shifting to NW 5-15 MPH.

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

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 26-33 except 34-41 coastal & urban areas. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 56-63. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 2-6)

Trend has been for the disturbances in the pipeline to look less and less impressive, and therefore associated rain chances to become minimal for November 2 & 4, to the point we may be looking at just fair weather and above normal temperatures as a ridge of high pressure becomes dominant next week.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 7-11)

Medium range guidance trends have switched to a trough passing through with unsettled early period, and perhaps another late period, with fair weather otherwise. Taking all this with salt grains as medium range guidance performance has been iffy. Doesn’t look overly chilly, and doesn’t look overly stormy.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 27-31)

A cold front moved through overnight. Other than some lingering higher clouds born of cool air advection over the mountains to our northwest and some low clouds coming off the ocean on the MA South Shore for a time this morning, we’ll see plenty of sun today but it will be notably cooler than yesterday. High pressure builds right over the region for a clear, calm, cold night tonight and a sunny day with a decent temperature recovery Wednesday. The high sinks to the south and we warm up a bit more Thursday into Friday. Low pressure passes to our north and drags two frontal boundaries through the region Friday and Friday night. The first doesn’t have much of a chill behind it so Friday will be mild. Cooler air will come in behind the second boundary for Saturday. Halloween Evening looks dry and pleasantly cool with fairly light wind at this time.

TODAY: Patchy clouds early, then sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind NW under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 32-39. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 43-50. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 65-72. Wind SW shifting to NW 5-15 MPH.

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

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 1-5)

High pressure hangs on for dry weather for the first day of November and the end of the weekend in which we switch from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time (2:00 a.m. Sunday, clocks move to 1:00 a.m.). Disturbances bring wet weather chances November 2 and again November 4 and/or 5, but neither of these look too impressive with dominant high pressure to the north of our region.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 6-10)

Indications for high pressure again becoming dominant with a mainly dry and seasonable to mild temperature pattern.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 26-30)

High pressure will be the dominant player in our weather this week with its position determining temperature. Initially, an area sinks just to our south today and allows a nice warm-up after a chilly start. A cold front moves through with some clouds but no rain this evening, and a new Canadian high brings dry, cooler weather for Tuesday and Wednesday before it also sinks to the south and results in a warm-up again for Thursday and Friday, although another cold front will pass by (dry again) during the day Friday.

TODAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 37-44. Wind SW to NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind NW under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 32-39. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 62-69. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 43-50. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sun / cloud mix. Highs 60-67. Wind SW shifting to NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 4)

High pressure brings fair and slightly cooler weather for the October 31 / November 1 weekend, with Halloween evening looking dry and pleasantly cool. A stronger high sets up to our north early next week and a couple disturbances passing south of it bring brief rain chances to our region on November 2 & 4.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 5-9)

Indications for high pressure again becoming dominant with a mainly dry and seasonable temperature pattern although some variability in temperatures depending on positioning of high pressure.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 25-29)

High pressure #1 sits atop us to start today then sinks to the south making it a day that starts cold and turns milder, with plenty of sun. Tonight chills off again under a clear sky but the warm-up Monday is even more pronounced with a southwest wind, until a moisture-starved cold front switches the wind back to northwest Monday night and Canadian high pressure moves in to start the cycle over Tuesday into midweek as the dry, up-and-down temperature pattern continues!

TODAY: Sunny. Highs 60-67. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 36-43. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 63-70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 37-44. Wind SW to NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind NW under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 32-39. Wind SW under 10 MPH.

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

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 30 – NOVEMBER 3)

High pressure shifts to the south and it is mild and dry October 30 but another moisture-starved front brings yet another Canadian high in for the October 31 / November 1 weekend with fair weather and a slight cool-down. Halloween Evening looks dry and pleasantly cool. Watch for low pressure from the west to bring a brief chance of rain about November 2 (may pass mostly to south) with another high bringing fair weather back to end the period.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 4-8)

Unsettled weather potential early to mid period, then fair weather returns. Temperatures near normal.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 24-28)

High pressure is parked over our area for the weekend with light winds, a clear sky, chilly nights and milder afternoons – about as nice as it can get for late October. The high slips to the south Monday which features a more notable breeze but a stronger warm-up before a cold front passes through at night with nothing more than just some clouds (no rainfall). This will be followed by a cooler Canadian high pressure area for Tuesday and Wednesday with more dry weather.

TODAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind NW up to 10 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 33-40. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 60-67. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 36-43. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 63-70. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 37-44. Wind SW to NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind NW under 10 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 29 – NOVEMBER 2)

High pressure shifts to the south and it turns milder again October 29-30 but another moisture-starved front brings yet another Canadian high in for the October 31 / November 1 weekend with fair weather and a slight cool-down. Halloween Evening looks dry and cool at this point. Watch for low pressure from the west with a wet weather chance at the end of the period, based on current expected timing.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 3-7)

Briefly fair, then some unsettled weather with high pressure to the north and low pressure moving through from west to east in our region – details TBD.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 23-27)

High pressure builds toward the region today with still some northerly breeze felt here between it and far-offshore storminess, but a nice day with plenty of sun and just a few possible passing fair weather clouds. High pressure sits atop our region with clear, chilly nights and sunny, pleasant days this weekend, and with the high shifting offshore we’ll enjoy a push of warmer air Monday before a dry cold front passes through later Monday and leads Canadian high pressure into our region with cooler but continued fair weather for Tuesday.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35 except 35-42 urban centers. Wind NW under 10 MPH.

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

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 33-40. Wind calm.

MONDAY NIGHT: A few clouds, then clear. Lows 35-42. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 28 – NOVEMBER 1)

Dry stretch continues through the end of October with a possible brief interruption of rain showers from a frontal passage on October 30. Watching the very end of the period (November 1) for the approach of low pressure and a rain chance, but timing uncertain.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 2-6)

Rain chance start of period, briefly fair, then unsettled weather chance follows as pattern is a little more active during the early days of November.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 22-26)

An offshore storm has made its closest approach early today, skirting Nantucket and Cape Cod with a little light rainfall and tossing its canopy of clouds back across much of our region. Now, the low will begin a northeastward acceleration away from our waters and toward Atlantic Canada through Friday. We’ll see a gusty northerly breeze on the back side of the system as it moves away. High pressure builds in for fair weather this weekend then heads offshore by Monday at which time a moisture-starved cold front will approach from the northwest with some clouds later Monday, but probably no shower activity.

TODAY: Any early-day light rain ends Outer Cape Cod / Nantucket. Increasing sunshine west to east. Highs 53-60. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts especially in coastal areas.

TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 33-40. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 51-58. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35 except 35-42 urban centers. Wind NW under 10 MPH.

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

SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 36-43. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

MONDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 61-68. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 27-31)

Pattern trend is for mainly dry with high pressure in control early in the period, replaced by another Canadian high later in the period, with a quick frontal passage and rain shower chance between (later October 29 or early October 30.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 1-5)

Watching for unsettled weather potentials around November 1-2 and again around November 4. Temperatures not far from seasonable albeit a bit variable.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 21-25)

High pressure remains to the north for a couple more days as an ocean storm spins to our southeast, making its closest pass tonight and early Thursday, at which time a little rain can occur in the Cape Cod region. After this, the storm will start to accelerate away toward Atlantic Canada and our northeasterly wind will shift more to the north to end the week. High pressure builds in for a very nice weekend!

TODAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 54-61. Wind NE 5-15 MPH with gusts 20-25 MPH inland, 15-25 MPH with gusts 30+ MPH coastal areas, strongest Cape Cod region.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Periods of rain possible Cape / Islands and slight chance of rain MA South Shore to South Coast west of Cape Cod Canal. Lows 41-48. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH MA South Shore to South Coast including Cape / Islands with higher gusts.

THURSDAY: Increasing sun west to east. Highs 53-60. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts particularly in coastal areas.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 51-58. Wind N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 31-38. Wind N to NW diminishing to under 10 MPH.

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

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 33-40. Wind calm.

SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 58-65. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 26-30)

Fair weather early next week. Unsettled weather chance middle of next week. Fair weather returns late week. This is the result of a hybrid pattern (transitional blocking) with west to east progression.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 31 – NOVEMBER 4)

Watching for unsettled weather potentials around November 1-2 and again around November 4, but low confidence forecast.

DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 20-24)

The high pressure north, storm at sea pattern continues for a few more days. The initial expected push of the offshore low north enough to throw a cloud shield across the sky later yesterday was weaker than forecast, and the cloud deck’s progress was weak and thwarted further by dry air. As a result, a mostly clear night resulted in a colder start this morning and also means more sunshine will be around today. Even tonight into Wednesday the cloud deck will struggle to push north and west initially, but will finally do so in a more notable way later Wednesday through early Thursday, when the storm makes its closest pass to New England, clouds enough to bring the chance of some light rainfall to Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Cape Cod, and perhaps a few sprinkles as far north and west as the MA South Shore to South Coast (west of the Cape Cod Canal). By later Thursday, the storm actively moves north northeast and its cloud deck departs. As the storm heads for Atlantic Canada late this week, an upper low’s western periphery will skirt our region on Friday with a cloud / sun mix but it looks like any convective precipitation associated with it will be up over Maine then track into the waters east of our region. Saturday’s weather should feature full sunshine as high pressure builds in for a nice start to the final full weekend of October.

TODAY: Limited sun Cape Cod / Islands, brighter sun filtered by high clouds at times elsewhere. Highs 56-63. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH Cape / Islands.

TONIGHT: Partly cloudy – most clouds Cape / Islands. Lows 38-45. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, except higher gusts Cape / Islands.

WEDNESDAY: Slow increase in high to middle clouds southeast to northwest, further limiting sunshine. Highs 55-62. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH Cape / Islands.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Periods of rain possible Cape / Islands and slight chance of rain MA South Shore to South Coast west of Cape Cod Canal. Lows 41-48. Wind NE 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH MA South Shore to South Coast including Cape / Islands.

THURSDAY: Increasing sun west to east. Highs 53-60. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 33-40. Wind N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 51-58. Wind N 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 31-38. Wind N to NW diminishing to under 10 MPH.

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

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 25-29)

High pressure provides fair weather with a milder trend as it sinks to the south of the region early period. Watch for a cold frontal passage with maybe a rain shower sometime October 27-28 and a shot of cooler air to follow it in a generally zonal flow pattern.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 30 – NOVEMBER 3)

A little uncertain as to the pattern details end of October and start of November but for our sensible weather is currently looks dry to end the month, and maybe a brief interruption of unsettled weather somewhere in the first couple days of November as the westerly flow pattern is most dominant here. Temperatures would be up-and-down, but not extreme in either direction.
