DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 14-18)
A low pressure area will pass south of New England during this weekend, but this time its mostly a miss, with only a relatively brief period of light rain possible closer to the South Coast (southeastern CT, southern RI, and the South Coast of MA) from late today to very early on Sunday. While an advancing cloud shield will filter, dim, then blot out the sun during today, when the intensifying low starts to move away on Sunday, we’ll see clouds break for some sun, but this will be accompanied by a gusty, cool breeze. So in a nut shell, not the best weekend, but clearly better than many recent ones. Early in the week, another low pressure area will try to develop south of New England, but will struggle. However, we’ll still be under the influence of upper level low pressure with lots of clouds and the possibility of some rain showers both Monday and Tuesday. High pressure builds in with improving weather by Wednesday.
TODAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 56-63. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. A period of rain southeastern CT, southern RI, and South Coast MA. Lows 46-54. Wind N-NE 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partial sunshine. Highs 54-61. Wind NE-N 10-20 MPH, gusts around 25-35 MPH, strongest Cape Cod.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind N-NE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy. Possible showers and coastal drizzle. Highs 53-60. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH, higher gusts especially coastal areas.
MONDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a shower and some coastal drizzle. Lows 45-52. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. A passing shower possible. Highs 52-59. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Clouds decrease. Patchy fog. Lows 45-52. Wind N-NW under 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 57-64. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 19-23)
Fair, milder weather with high pressure in control into later next week. Eyeing the next unsettled weather threat for the weekend of October 21-22. Fair, colder weather follows that.
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 24-28)
Greatest chance of unsettled weather comes early to mid period, but overall pattern appears drier. Temperatures not far from normal overall.
Thanks TK.
Where did this new met (Jason Mikell) on Ch. 4 come from? Are folks leaving WBZ? This is the second new face lately.
I will say Jason is wearing a nice vest.
Has Dave Epstein left WBZ? I haven’t seen him in awhile, not that he was on air very often anyway.
Do you have an opinion on what we can expect this winter ?
With Sarah out on leave they have folks filling in.
I have not seen uodates on Declan I did see that the Pats honored him last week. And Hallie Kyed …the daughter of a Pats reporter also battling cancer. Just typing this brings me to tears.
Good morning and thank you TK.
Yet another weekend is upon us.
Where does the time go????
Thanks TK
This day in weather history goes back to a very wet October 2005.

The only October flood I remember was in 1996. Thanks anyway Jimmy!
Thank you JJ. I too remember 1996 better. But think this was the year the Sudbury was very close to going over the banks not far from our hime in Framingham. And also Pelham island rd in wayland had evacuations.
I see JR is on duty this morning. Unusual since there is no big storm.
I remember October 1996 as well Philip. I had a ticket to game one of the World Series in Yankee Stadium that year and it got postponed from Saturday night to Sunday night.
Thanks TK !
Thank you. TK. How is your mom this morning? I forgot to check to see if you fixed that little slip yesterday 😉
Haha!
She is very sore but otherwise doing well. She looks terrible but that’s to be expected the day after. I have instructed her to spend the weekend recovering. We will see how well that advice is heeded but I have other people on the job to try to keep her to it.
Hope your mom improves quickly in the days ahead.
Oh noooo. I was afraid she’d be very sore. Please tell her I’m having a pajama day too and hope she will just relax also !
Thanks, TK.
It’s been a beautiful morning here, thanks Tk
The sun is still out here at least partially. Will the eclipse be seen this afternoon?
Am I correct that it’s about 20-25%?
I believe you should start seeing what there is of eclipse about 12:30 through 2:30. Cloud cover here
Cloudy now here as well.
Actor Mark Goddard (LOST IN SPACE) has died at the age of 87 of pulmonary fibrosis.
He was born in Lowell and raised in Scituate.
Major Don West. Very sad.
I had no idea he grew up in Scituate
Thanks TK. Glad to here your Mom is doing ok today.
Gave in . Sitting at home alone watching game and it was 65 inside so I flipped the switch . I have not yet decided if that switch will stay on all night
Gotta be comfortable. We are 49 outside and 69 in No heat. But I did turn the fireplace on last night just cause I love it but got hot too fast. Suspect I’ll turn on tonight and listen to some music
Actor Mark Goddard was a distant cousin to Robert H. Goddard, father of the first successful rocket launch (March 16, 1926) in Auburn MA.
Robert H. Goddard was born in Worcester.
Tragic loss. May Mr Bean rest in peace
