DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 2-6)
A high pressure area brings abundant sun today and again on Friday. This morning’s low temperatures ranged from the upper 20s in rural areas to the 30s in most areas, with a pretty widespread frost, and some freeze, with hard freeze in very limited locations. We recover slightly to the 40s today. Tonight will be another chilly one but may not get quite as low as we start to see a southwesterly air flow as the axis of high pressure shifts south, and then helps us recover to the 50s Friday. The high will stay to our south while a couple disturbances pass by to the north over the weekend. This results in milder weather but not as abundant sunshine for Saturday and Sunday, but at least we can expect dry weather to continue dominating. Monday, clouds increase ahead of the next trough and low pressure system. Depending on the speed / timing, it may turn wet by the end of the day.
TODAY: Sunny. Highs 43-50. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clear. Lows 30-37. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 50-57. Wind SW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 38-45. SW up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Cloud/sun mix. Highs 56-63. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 40-47. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 58-65. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 41-48. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of rain late day or night. Highs 55-62. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 7-11)
A low pressure system passing through the region brings wet weather early in the period, followed by mainly dry with temperatures near to below normal.
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 12-16)
Next trough brings higher chance of unsettled weather early to mid period, then dry weather returns. Temperatures near to below normal.
Hood morning and thank you TK.
Did not make freezing here, getting only down to 33. This is coldest of season.
I guess if you have milk with your coffee, it could be a Hood morning
I meant Good morning.
Haha. I knew. And it was fun to read. I chuckled as it could mean the hood did not get to freezing.
more Ho-Hum weather.
Now that we are close to or below freezing, it doesn’t want to rain
OH, it will RAIN and then some! Just you wait!
Thanks TK !
Thanks TK.
24.3F the low here this morning with a hard freeze on everything.
Nice view from North Ridge this morning as Killington gets ready for opening day tomorrow.

Love it. Thank you.
Fairly EARLY opening, no?
I think they have actually opened briefly in late October before.
I wonder IF they can go straight through the season or not?
Here’s the historical opening and closing dates for Killington back thru the years
https://www.killington.com/plan-your-trip/getting-here/operating-schedule/historical-open-close
Definitely earlier opening this year than last year but overall this date is pretty normal. Lots of October opening dates in the 90s, some very early in October too.
They will go straight thru to June 1 if they can. They are planning on being open every day of the week hereafter.
I understand that, but the question is:
WILL they be able to do it. I will depend on the weather. 🙂
WOW!!! Impressive to be sure!
I never realized that they sometimes opened in October
and STAYED open the whole year.
Quite a feat!
Way to go Killington!!!
Lovely video.
Nice shot from the summit of Washington this AM as well

Awesome!!! thanks
Deep sigh. God’s country. Thanks, Mark!
Thank you, TK. This hood got to 29 with a deep frost. North central SC got to 26.
Thanks TK.
It’s a bit past Noon and it is ONLY 42 here in JP.
Pretty chilly for sure, but not unheard of. 🙂
42 here also. Reminding me of November 1992.
45 here now. 🙂
Thanks, TK.
Made it up to 46, I don’t imagine it will go higher
We went up Mt. Watatic this afternoon. The conditions were perfect with very little wind at the summit. At 1:30pm, there was still some frost in the shaded areas.

Nice!!
Any remnants from the ski area that used to be on that
mountain? Curious.
I presume that is mt. Wachusett in the distance?
Here’s some information from the New England Lost Ski Areas site:
https://www.nelsap.org/ma/watatic.html
And yes, that is Mt. Wachusett in the photo.
Awesome info. Thank you.
Although I was skiing during the time it was open, if I were going that way, I skied at Wachusett, just as the article stated. 🙂
🙂
Fascinating. Thank you. I love this site.
My Weekend Outlook is now up:
https://stormhq.blog/2023/11/02/weekend-outlook-november-3-6-2023/
Thanks! Looks like a nice weekend to do a very thorough cleanup in the yard. Almost all the leaves I am going to get are down. Norway Maple is ahead of the last several years in leaf drop. In fact things that started out slow have accelerated significantly all over the area. More leaf drop early than I have seen in a while.
Like so many, there was color on the tree in the front yard and then everything just dropped. All at once. Pear trees are holding on but finally turning. Late compared to years past but May be close to recent years. I need to check.
Back down to 30.7F after a high today of only 43.9F. Looks like another frosty night well down into the 20s.
The temperature might stop falling before midnight in a lot of the region as the dew point comes up and the wind starts to blow from the southwest.
Good point. Dewpoint is 27.3 here right now.
30 here Dp is 25 up from the 21.7 late morning
Blue-green fireball meteor observed from about 45° to about 30° above the southwestern horizon from northwest of Boston 10:36 p.m.
Anybody else observe it?
That is the second of this type to be observed this evening in the area. The other occurred around 6:30 p.m.
I saw JRs post in FB. I did not nor did my cameras. Did you?
I did not see the 6:30 p.m. one, but I did observe the more recent one. It was cool!
Speaking of JR, he just said on air that those “fireballs” are not massive at all, about the size of a Cheerio albeit quite bright.
I would imagine ancient humans associated those fireballs as warnings.
Here you go, Philip. JRs meteors 101. I love when our Mets share knowledge

The meteors in the Perseid shower average about the size of a grain of sand.
I only saw one posted. JR said 6:57. There was one before it
Sorry. Just read above. I had not seen anything about two until you mentioned it
Thanks, TK, for posting about the fireball !
Happened, then, to catch the 7news post, with its opening, that usually pans on the city, that happened to catch it.
New wx post…
