7:28AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 10-14)…
Low pressure moves up from the southwest off the coast later today through Wednesday bringing some unsettled weather. Some areas may see some beneficial rain but a fair amount of that may actually miss just offshore or only clip parts of the region. It’ll be a radar-watching kind of system. This low will be slow to wander away Wednesday, making it a damp, windy, and chilly Veterans Day, though most of any rain will occur early in the day as it appears now. Another system from the west will throw more clouds into the region for Thursday and bring some additional wet weather. Friday and Saturday will be windy and cool but dry days, other than possibly an instability shower of rain or snow in a few areas Saturday.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Periods of rain developing during the afternoon mainly South Coast and Cape Cod. Highs in the 50s. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Periods of rain. Areas of fog. Lows in the 40s. Wind E 5-15 MPH becoming gusty overnight and shifting to NE.
WEDNESDAY – VETERANS DAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain mainly early to mid morning. Temperatures holding in the 40s. Wind NE 10-20 MPH inland and 15-30 MPH coast with higher gusts, shifting to N.
THURSDAY: Cloudy. PM rain showers. Lows around 40. Highs around 50.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy and windy. Lows in the 30s. Highs in the 50s.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny and windy. Isolated rain or snow showers. Lows in the 30s. Highs around 50.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 15-19)…
Dry with a warming trend November 15-18. Possible wet weather about November 19.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 20-24)…

  2. Thanks, TK…

    “When the winds of November come early.”

    Today is the 40th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior, made famous by the 1976 song by Gordon Lightfoot.

    I thought of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald a couple of weeks ago with the sinking of El Faro.

    What a dangerous job it is for our mariners, fishermen and sailors. God bless them all.

  3. Where does SNE stand with the latest drought monitor report?

    Logan is a 8.7″ below normal for the year as of last night. Boston had a little more than 9.5″ of precip during January, February and March, and has only had 18.7″ since then!

  7. In an effort to help our friend Vicki, I have recorded what I can find for the snowfall predictions. I have entries for the following people:
    Weatherman
    Arod
    Philip
    tjammer
    Keith
    JimmyJames
    Sue
    Mel
    Matt
    Joshua
    Cat966g
    Tom

    If I missed your entry please submit it on the contest pages. I noted all of the entries on the contest page and also scrolled through previous blogs to find any that were listed there. Also, if you did not pick a date for the first 1 inch of snow in Boston please let me know what you would like to guess.

    Thank you all.

        1. Thanks Tom. It’s not too bad. Just yucky enough
          not to want to sit through work. I have been doing work
          from here, but that’s not the same. I can stop whenever. Take a nap, whatever, whenever.

          When I was younger I would have gone to work for sure.

          Our staff deal with the elderly so there is no need to infect them.

          We have tomorrow off as a Holidy so hopefully I’ll be
          good to go on Thursday.

          Thanks again.

    3. Don’t forget about me…last years winner and still exercising my prize of bragging rights HA. I will post mine shortly.

  9. This first batch of precip seems to be hitting a wall and getting stretched out as time goes by.

    Definitely looks like the second batch of precip has more lift associated with it.

    Perhaps that will eventually translate eastward overnight ??????

        1. That image changes with time, so I don’t know what you will get. They are also making snow while it is snowing.
          Thye have a planned opening of 11/20.

    1. Sorry this is in the wrentham/North Artleboro, and starting raining here in foxboro a little bit. 🙁

      1. Of course it will start raining by 3 as I get out at 3:20 and was in early today so I have the truck, rain makes for slow ride out of the city. At least I’m off tomorrow. Feel better JP . Going to see the Charlie Brown movie tonight lol.

        1. Thanks John. Enjoy the movie.
          My wife wants to see it, but doesn’t want to be seen
          in the movie theater without a kid(s) dragging behind. 😀

          We’ll watch it on demand like we did Frozen. 😀

  13. Rain from this system is right where it was expected to be and when it was expected to be there. I still have my doubts about the solid significant amounts. Everyone gets wet, but amounts may be lower than many of the projections.

    One of the wildcards is how much rain falls tomorrow, as well as any moderate to heavy banding that may set up as that low center intensifies a little offshore overnight and early Wednesday.

    12z GFS is an absolute blow torch and if it comes close to verifying it’s going to be hard to end this month anywhere under 4 degrees above normal.

  14. A dismal, dark, dreary, and in some places south of us damp and dank day. Haven’t had many of these in recent memory. There is no way we get 1-2 inches out of this system in Boston. Perhaps 1-2 inches in Providence and points east and southeast – locales like New Bedford, Vineyard, Nantucket, and parts of the Cape. My guess is Boston has around half an inch when all is said and done.

          1. It’s hard for me to pick out 3 but I am particularly partial to the albums that were produced by Alan Parsons. I thought it was a great fit.

            The albums Year Of The Cat and Time Passages can essentially be played as a double album. I love every track on both albums.

  15. Been raining here off and on for about 2 hours now. Haven been home but I’d guess .10-.15. Drove to norwood and it was just sprinkling, now coming through foxboro and plainville it’s a light rain.

    1. It’s struggling to hold together. Radar trend shows weakening in the middle of the band while heaviest stuff shifts eastward a little.

  16. I kind of feel like the writing is on the wall, sort of speak, for at least the early part of winter …..

    The deep cold is in Alaska and eastern Siberia ….

    Modest chill covers most of Canada, but nothing extraordinary.

    Precip that was rare last year is already recurring in the western U.S.

    Seems like a lot of inside runners …..

    Of course, things can change and probably will …..

    1. Believe it or not we may have a lot of OTS systems and not as many inside runners, at least from the southern stream. If those streams don’t merge that often, and stay well split, southern stream systems will find their way to sea via the Southeast and Mid Atlantic more often than the Northeast, and northern stream systems will track over or north of New England.

        1. Not really. There are a whole lot of strong hints. I wouldn’t be issuing my Winter forecast this weekend if I thought it was too early to make a very educated guess. Science in action. 🙂

  19. Can’t rule out a good band of rain or snow showers Friday night at some point on the leading edge of the weekend chill.

  21. Hi all! The low pressure area is going to under-produce rainfall, at least compared to most model forecasts. Not a surprise to be honest.
