DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 27-31)
High pressure builds in and controls our weather for the next several days, through the weekend in fact. We start rather mild today with a drying westerly breeze, but as the center of the high bridges to our north tonight and Friday, a wind shift to northeast will bring cooler air into the region. Weekend temperatures will be generally seasonable with nice weather for outdoor activities. By Monday, Halloween, we’ll be on the look-out for some unsettled weather as the high gives way to an approaching trough of low pressure and some increased moisture from the south and southwest. It’s uncertain at this point how much, if any, rainfall will make it into our region before the end of the day or sometime in the evening, but this will be tweaked and fine-tuned over the next few days, as it has an impact on Halloween evening trick-or-treat for cities and towns that do it on that day.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 65-72. Wind W to NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 33-40. Wind NW to N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 52-59. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 28-35. Wind NE up to 10 MPH, then calm.
SATURDAY: Sunny. Highs 53-60. Wind calm, then E up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 30-37. Wind E to SE under 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 54-61. Wind SE up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 43-50. Wind SE-S up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers by late-day. Highs 57-64. Wind S 5-15 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 1-5)
November starts unsettled with a rain chance, then it dries out rather quickly thereafter and high pressure takes over with fair weather, initially seasonable temperatures then a moderating trend to above normal.
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 6-10)
This outlook is updated to indicate a stronger high pressure ridge dominating the East Coast with fair weather and above normal temperatures for our region at least for the early to middle portion of the period before we may get a push of cooler air from Canada as the flow flattens out with a little stronger jet stream in the Northeast.
Thanks TK !
Nice to have some clear skies and especially nice not to be driving in dense fog. I don’t know about away from the coast, but this was one of the longer duration foggy episodes I can recall down this way.
It sure is nice to see clear sky this morning. It was crazy foggy here all week also. I drove through an area on Monday and Tuesday around one of our golf courses and could barely see the flags on the greens along the road. I suspect it was even worse in your coastal areas.
I wonder if were getting signs to at least the EARLY part of winter ????????
Alaska seems below normal temps, the northern Pacific Jet seems to be strengthening into western Canada and the northwest US …….
Could we be starting early climatological winter with a cold Alaska, western US and a mild central/eastern US ? Big precip out west, perhaps some severe weather in the central US and passing cold fronts in the east that occasionally “cool” things off, but the overall average temps are well above avg as the warm days overwhelm the few cool days here and there.
Getting nervous about Halloween forecast as it’s a very big night in my house & neighborhood. Thanks for todays outlook Tk .
I think its rained 7 out of the last 8 Monday’s
Concerned here also. I can only recall one rainy Halloween when my kids were young.
Good morning and thank you TK.
Thank you, TK.
Thanks TK.
Brad Marchand back in the Bruins lineup tonight nearly a month ahead of schedule.

And the winner is: The pacific system
Drought map improving a good amount but not quite there.

Very much improved. But we still have a little way to go.
Guidance likes dry weather for November, but we’ve seen that recently and it ended up wetter, so we’ll see. May wipe that clean before winter. It won’t get any worse now unless we have an extended dry spell from late autumn into winter. It would put us in a more vulnerable place to return to more drought next season, but at this point it’s so far out there and not highly likely that it’s not even much of a worry.
Essex Co. is a disgrace. How did they miss so much rainfall?
This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen, although I am easily amused….

I must be in a mood. Didn’t even crack a smile.
The entire thing is funny to me, but it’s the end that really gets me. It looks like the thing just gives in to its fate and floats away…buhbye! … HAHAHA! That’s ok, I’ll laugh for you too. I got extras.
