DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 16-20)

A trough at upper levels and surface high pressure to our west will give us basically a repeat of yesterday’s weather – breezy, cool, a sun/cloud mix. Tonight, with a clearing sky and wind dropping off as high pressure builds over the region, radiational cooling allows many inland areas to drop to near to below freezing for the first time this autumn, though it won’t be quite as cold in urban centers and along the immediate coastline due to warming influences of buildings / cement / asphalt in urban areas and the “warmer” ocean water adjacent to the shoreline. Also, a blanket of stratus from the ocean may invade Cape Cod and adjacent southeastern MA into parts of RI during the pre-dawn of Thursday with a light northeasterly air flow in those areas. Our weather Thursday through Sunday will be governed by a large area of high pressure. Thursday and Friday will still be on the cooler side with a north to northeast wind, enhanced in eastern and southern coastal areas with an ocean storm well to our southeast. This storm, despite the distance of its low pressure center from our area, will push its high to middle cloud canopy at least into southeastern areas for a while during Thursday to early Friday. The largely mostly clear to clear evening sky forecast the next several days is good news for viewing of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, which appears slightly higher in the west southwest sky about 45 minutes after sunset each evening until it sinks to the western horizon.

TODAY: Sun/cloud mix. Highs 52-59. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, gusts 20+ MPH.

TONIGHT: Clearing, except some low clouds from ocean southeastern MA and parts of RI. Lows 27-34 except 35-42 urban centers / oceanside. Wind N diminishing to under 10 MPH.

THURSDAY: Sun most abundant north and west and more limited south and east. Highs 53-60. Wind N-NE 5-15 MPH EXCEPT 15-25 mph Cape Cod region.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Clouds linger southeastern MA / mostly clear elsewhere. Lows 33-40. Wind NE-N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 55-62. Wind N 5-15 MPH.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 38-45. Wind W up to 10 MPH.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 61-68. Wind W 5-15 MPH.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Fog patches low elevations. Lows 42-49. Wind W under 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 21-25)

Dry spell early to mid portion of next week with near to above normal temperatures. Watch for a disturbance or two passing by later in the week with an unsettled weather opportunity.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 26-30)

Slow evolution of a more dynamic pattern but the overall weather is still on the drier side here with a little more pronounced temperature swing potential and more wind potential.
