A battle between low pressure and high pressure will be won by low pressure into midweek, as a trough impacts the region with occasional wet weather through Wednesday, with the highest chance of showers in any given location today and Wednesday. This will be as 2 different lows are closest to or over the region. Tuesday brings a reduced chance as a little nosing in of high pressure from the east takes place, but still not a “great” weather day. Thursday, a cold front pushes everything off to the east, and we improve, but the mild air will still be in place and it won’t be until a secondary front crosses the region that cooler air will arrive for the end of the week.
TODAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog and drizzle.Occasional to numerous showers, especially this afternoon including isolated thunderstorms. Highs 56-63. Wind NE-N up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of fog and drizzle. Showers likely in the evening including the chance of thunder. Lows 48-55. Wind N-NE up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Chance of a shower. Highs 58-65. Wind E up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Chance of showers, especially overnight. Lows 48-55. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. Areas of fog. Showers likely. Highs 56-63. Wind E 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers. Areas of fog. Lows 48-55. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers early, then a sun/cloud mix. Highs 65-72. Wind S 5-15 MPH shifting to W.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind W 5-15 MPH shifting to N.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind N-NE 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 29 – NOVEMBER 2)
High pressure is expected to bring fair weather and generally seasonable air to the region for the last 3 days of October before the weather turns unsettled with the arrival of a low pressure trough to start off November.
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 3-7)
A little uncertainty in this period. For now going with a drier overall pattern but another interval of unsettled weather may take place somewhere mid to late period with another trough / disturbance combo near the East Coast.
Thanks TK.
I hope Belichick had the team practice with “wet” balls. You want to clobber these Bears, don’t keep them in the game on fumbles (turnovers). The Jets next week is not going to be a gimme game this time.
Frankly I wish Mac was NOT starting tonight, regardless of the weather conditions.
Mac is the better QB. If he’s cleared to play, then he should play. You always want your best players on the field.
Absolutely true. And if Jones plays and we sadly lose, I’m hoping folks will not believe the outcome would be different if zappe played.
What if we lose and Mac has a bad game (costly turnovers). He’ll be rusty and I’ll give him time to battle that. But poor decision making resulting in turnovers is inexcusable. If he looks like the Mac from games 1-3, how can u not think the outcome would have been different with Zappe?
Looking at the big picture, I just do not agree. If his receivers are not where they should be, if he even had receivers, if he had protection in the pocket, if plays were called wisely……it’s a team game. We know shy Brady left and BB is doing the same to Jones.
Both teams zappe played were horrific. Those he passed to were wide open. And ironically two of the three were tight ends and the third was a rookie WR who might have a future.
I’m not saying Jones will win every game. I don’t expect him to. But even if he loses every game, he is a better QB than zappe. That was my point.
A couple of interesting articles
https://www.audacy.com/weei/sports/patriots/patriots-show-they-trust-mac-jones-more-than-bailey-zappe
https://www.patriots.com/news/after-further-review-how-the-patriots-changed-offense-for-bailey-zappe
Did u think Bledsoe was the better QB? And no, I’m not saying Zappe is Brady.
No. He wasn’t close. Not many are. Brady’s mechanics are about as perfect as they get. Not sure why that relates.
At the time, when Bledsoe was ready to come back in 2001, who was the better QB
Ace. What is your purpose for Bledsoe vs Brady. I answered that. To repeat. Bledsoe was never a Brady then either. I don’t base my comments on wins or loses. I base it on talent.
I need to add that my agreement with SAK is Jones is the better QB. I’m not convinced Jones shouldn’t have another week to recover.
Good morning and thank you TK.

I found it ironic that for the Yankees final out, Judge grounded out to the pitcher who casually tossed it to first just like when the Red Sox swept St. Louis for the WS in 2004.
I didn’t watch the game but the Yankees almost foiled Houston’s sweep late.
IMHO, the over night rainfall totals were disappointing.
Logan came in with a whopping 24 hour total of 0.12 inch
as of 5 minutes ago. 🙂
Draw a line from Hingham to Newport. Everything south and east of there got 0.25″-1.00″. Everything north and west got less than 0.25″.
Then it’s a good thing this isn’t January, then Logan would have received a measly 1.2 inches of “snow”. You would have gone nuts as probably myself as well. 😉
Of course I am assuming this exact same setup would have produced all snow regionwide.
My response was to JPD. 😉
I hate when people use that logic, because it is absolutely untrue. Here’s the thing: If it’s cold enough to snow, then the atmosphere cannot hold as much moisture as it does when the temperature is in the 50s. In fact, air that is 32 degrees can only hold half of the amount of moisture that 50-degree air can.
Thank you, TK!
Thanks TK.
Thanks TK !
Thanks, TK!
Thanks, TK.

Torrential rain and thunder right now here at the office in Manchester CT
Right place at right time. Not much shaking here in the city. 🙂
Complete deluge here continues. A small lake has formed outside my window.

I was watching on radar. Crazy. One Manchester wunder station has 1.84. But I know that can differ depending on location
Special weather statement. Apologies if you already posted.

Some rather loud thunder here in downtown Nashua. Had to re-do one of my recordings because I could hear it through the walls of the studio.
The 12z GFS continues to project a late season hurricane and actually landfalls it in the Florida panhandle/Alabama coastal area.
Ugh. For what period. FL sure doesn’t need more
November 8th …. a long ways away, so …..
Just the idea that this feature has been on the GFS 4 to 5 days or so and this is the first time it hasn’t taken the system way out to sea.
Interesting. Thank you Tom

dp in Nantucket is nearly 70F !!
Tropical dodo.
I guess I’m the only one here with the “Zappe Fever”. Let’s hope that Mac Jones can “vaccinate” me tonight with a quality win.
I’m inflicted too Philip. I have a feeling the Mac Jones vaccine will be just about as effective as the Pfizer/Moderna COVID vaccine
Yet another interesting read.
https://www.nfl.com/_amp/debate-between-patriots-mac-jones-bailey-zappe-not-as-close-as-it-appears
Color me Zappe as well.
There is something about Mac that doesn’t quite sit right with me. I can’t exactly put my finger on it.
FWIW, I read a report this morning explaining why it would be better for the team to start Zappe.
It went something like. The cubs are a non-divisional team while the next team is the Jets, a divisional rival. The logic being that the divisional game is more important. Therefore, give Mac 6 more days to recuperate and let the hot Zappe start against the non-divisional team and allow Mac
to start against the Jets in better shape that he would be tonight. Not to mention that If Mac started tonight not completely healed, he would only have 6 days to recover and not 7, this being a short week.,
This logic makes perfect sense to me and unless BB has already declared Mac the started, it would not surprise
me to see Zappe start as BB would certainly be tuned into this
logic.
Ok , there are stories out there that Mac will start, such as this one:
https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/10/23/new-england-patriots-mac-jones-expected-start-vs-bears-on-monday-night
Unless I hear it from BB, I fully expect ZAPPE to start for the reasons stated above, Plus BB loves to **** with opponents! 🙂 🙂
We shall see.
JPD I agree with that reasoning. I’ve been worried about starting Jones too soon. And the field may be slippery. And I don’t trust BB
Dont worry about Mac vs Zappee ….
Here’s their BRUTAL schedule after the Bears. This nice soft schedule has allowed them to get some wins and make their next 3 games relevant. But, they are out-talented in most of these remaining games.
@Jets (L) (Jets are 5-2, not a pushover anymore)
Indianapolis (could go either way)
Jets (W)
@ Vikings (L)
Buffalo (L)
@ Arizona Cardinals (L)
@ Raiders (L)
vs Bengals (L)
vs Miami (L) they never beat the Dolphins anymore
@Buffalo (L)
Or look at it this way, 4-3 if they win tonight.
Realistically, 10-7 gets you a wild card, which means they have to 6-4 the last 10.
6 wins against those remaining 10 teams ?? I doubt it.
You are a worse pessimist than I ever thought of being. 🙂
You are also making my point re: What I posted above.
Look for Zappe to start tonight.
BTW, you can take it to the bank because my wife said Empathically that Zappe will start. 🙂 🙂 🙂
She’s is psychic when it comes to these kind of things. 🙂
I’m a bit afraid you are right, Tom. It’s a tough lineup.
That’s what prompted my first comment. Zappe played powder puff teams. If Jones loses to the top teams there will be a wall of zappe.
Thunder Storm headed for Boston.
Just heard thunder here.
Well, we had a thunderstorm, as WIMPY as it was. 🙂
Well, I am wrong once again. It looks like Mac Jones is playing tonight according to this NESN report of less than an hour ago.
https://nesn.com/2022/10/mac-jones-returns-patriots-qb-will-start-vs-bears-week-7-game/
Let’s hope he is really ready.
This nut was spotted jumping around in the water at Hampton Beach NH a while ago….. 😉
https://photos.app.goo.gl/kHbTJGqvGZzeVWqTA
Hahahahaahahahaha
and what makes him a nut? was thete thunder and lightning at the time?
Nope!
Actually the water was pretty comfortable!
The thunder was well to the south of here at this time.
I have to say that if you have a guy with a high ankle sprain, why would you send him out on a slippery field?
End of rant!
Keep going! I agree, it’s not putting the team (or Mac) in the best position to succeed.
AGREE!!@!@@
I agree also. But then we present BB
Or is this part of BBs plan. Sorry evil side of me just surfaced. I don’t trust the man at all. And I’d be more than happy to admit I’m wrong …..in this instance
Understand your cynicism.
My failing is that I believe common sense should prevail. LOL!
And it sadly is way down on the list of priorities. When Jones ran, The announcer just said he isn’t 100%. Not sure he knows anything but …..
Vicki, u were missing my point above re: Bledsoe vs. Brady. Forget for a minute what Brady became. At that moment back in 2001 when Bledsoe was healthy and ready to come back in, who was the better QB in your opinion? Who had the most proven talent?
Im not missing your point at all. Brady was always the Choice. You know there is depth of talent before NFL right. Or I hope you know. Brady always had talent. Bledsoe was excellent. But if you recall and i am sure you do, he couldn’t survey the field at all. One point.
Btw. Did anyone notice zappe just threw the pass behind the receiver. Frankly. Jones is better with another team. Just as Brady showed us
We’re gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. And Jones may have just lost his starting job.
Wait. You think Bledsoe was better than Brady ?
Agree Ace . I think it’s Zappe from hear on out. Mack was getting booed off the field . In sports you go with the hot hand .
The Mrs. says Jones is done.
I did not like the play of jones tonight. That int was atrocious!
I suspect you are right re Mac being done. Might be best for him. I’ve said that for a while.
A little late but thanks TK!
