After a showery very early morning Saturday in far southeastern New England, we’ve been enjoying a nice weekend so far, and despite a very chilly start today we have another nice day coming up for today as well. You’ll notice some patchy clouds crossing the sky from west to east, favoring areas to the north and west of Boston first and a bit further southeast later. This is a result of a weakening / dissipating secondary frontal boundary that is doing nothing much than slightly reinforcing the cool, dry air we have here. You will hardly notice it other than the cloud patches and a bit more wind today than we had yesterday as the atmosphere mixes up with the sun’s heating. So this is the type of day you need careful placement of your wind-sensitive yard sale items or maybe to zip your jacket on your walk. 🙂 A disturbance and old frontal boundary cross the region from west to east Monday with more clouds and only a small chance of a few brief rain showers. After that, nice weather returns as high pressure builds in then shifts offshore and we see moderating temperatures, especially by midweek. While we stay mild for Thursday, that is the day that our unsettled weather chances increase significantly – this as a frontal boundary pushes this way from the west in association with a more amplified trough of low pressure moving in this direction via the Great Lakes and Midwest. We will likely see showers before Thursday ends.

TODAY: Sun and patchy clouds. Highs 55-62. Wind W 5-15 MPH, gusts 20-25 MPH.

TONIGHT: Clearing, then clouds return pre-dawn. Lows 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. A brief rain shower possible afternoon mainly west and north of Boston. Highs 57-64. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 40-47. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 59-66. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 44-51. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs Highs 61-68. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.

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

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Shower chances increase from west to east. Highs 60-67. Wind S 10-20 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 14-18)

While models differ a little on timing of exit of wet weather with frontal passage, going with a wet start and dry finish for October 14 as the front pushes offshore, then a narrow but slower moving high pressure area moving in for dry and seasonable to mild weather for the October 15-16 weekend. This time I don’t think we get as strong a cool push due to the orientation of the upper pattern not allowing a more direct delivery of polar air. That trough to the west will also help initiate another unsettled weather threat in our region during the October 17-18 time frame as well, although it’s too early for details on timing.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 19-23)

As low pressure departs the region but the mean trough position still from the Great Lakes to Northeast, expecting mainly dry weather with 1 or 2 brief precipitation threats, and temperatures near to below normal.

  1. Thanks TK. Hoping the frost last night didn’t kill my new grass that has been growing this past two weeks!

  5. Thanks TK.

    Ian left in its wake not only to unexpected very beneficial rain, but some very colorful foliage even in the city of Boston albeit spotty. 🙂

    I have to disagree with the Ch. 4 foliage map as having Boston/I-95 corridor with “no color”. It needs to be updated imo.

    1. There is some very good color. Certainly not peak, but splashes of brilliance. I drove a good portion of that corridor the last few days and it’s the best I have seen it in quite some time this early.

      1. I’ll second that. First time in seven years here foliage is as vibrant. Not peak as you said but lovely. And despite the solid green wall on the hill behind our house.

        1. They are a lot, but not always. They are pretty far to the west. It’s hard to think of them as far west as they are. Even now I have to remind myself of that…

          Being that far west they can be quite vulnerable to early chilly air masses coming down from Canada via the Midwest.

  8. I was surprised and probably shouldn’t have been that some utility folks that planned to head to FL had to postpone their trip because there are no hotel rooms available. Such a horrific mess with roadblocks where you ….or maybe just I..,least expect them.

  13. On a sports-related note, I was impressed with the Patriots today. Good game. I had this down as an expected win so long as they played solidly, but I’d not have predicted a shut-out. Of course the Lions being 0 for 6 on 4th down attempts definitely helped the Pats’ cause. 😉 I was also impressed with the Jets. No, I’m not Jets fan, but I don’t care who a team is. If they impress me, I give credit where it’s due. They impressed me blowing out Miami.

    For you NHL fans, the exhibition games are over. Bruins season starts on Wednesday. Looking forward to that. 🙂 Go B’s!

    Admin reset in progress, hence the WBZ name for this post. 😉

    1. They were good but they were handed the game. Zappe did very well but again…….

      Makes me groan that Boston fans now think we trade mac who would then shine for years on
      another team and keep zappe who has no lasting power.

      1. I was watching the news last night on a couple stations and they were alluding to the Brady / Bledsoe thing all over again. NOT the same. Zappe has done well, but he’s not carrying the team. The team played well overall, and I 100% agree that they were pretty much handed the game anyway by a Lions team that would have struggled to score points if they were the only ones on the field. 😉 That was a bad game by Detroit, and it happened to take place right on our field. Easy win for the Pats.

        Mac is still the guy for this team when he’s healthy, but it’s nice to know that we have a couple guys who can step in if/when needed. The news (and some fans) just want to be dramatic. They love to draw comparisons but make things sound identical to other scenarios. There are no two identical scenarios. Similar maybe, not identical. Go Pats!

        1. Well you started my day with a big smile. VERY well said I’m not surprised as you and I have always seemed to have the same view re sports.
