Friday Forecast

7:23AM

DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 13-17)…
Dry air returns today but it won’t be a totally sunny day as another trough will approach from the northwest and provide some instability for cloudiness, and perhaps a rain shower this evening as it passes, introducing colder air for the weekend. The coldest day will be Saturday, along with plenty of wind. Sunday will be less windy and slightly less chilly, temperature-wise, but feel much less colder overall than Saturday due to the lack of wind in comparison. Fair weather and a warming trend will be well-underway as high pressure dominates both at the surface and aloft early next week.
TODAY: Sunshine most dominant this morning, clouds more dominant this afternoon. Highs 55-62. Wind W 15-25 MPH with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Lots of clouds evening with a passing rain shower. Lows in the 30s. Wind W 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated rain/snow showers possible. Gusty wind. Highs 45-52.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 26-33. Highs 45-52.
MONDAY: Sunny. Lows 20s interior, lower 30s coast and urban areas. Highs in the 50s.
TUESDAY: Sunny. Lows in the 30s. Highs 55-65.

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 18-22)…
Some cloudiness at times otherwise dry November 18-19 with temperatures above to much above normal. Rain showers possible as a cold front approaches November 20, and this may linger into November 21. Fair and colder November 22 as the front pushes away and high pressure moves in from Canada.

DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 23-27)…
The overall pattern continues mild but temperatures during this period will likely be more variable due to some passing systems in the northern jet stream as the high pressure ridge weakens and allows a couple of fast-moving troughs to come through the northeastern US. Any precipitation events should be brief. Since Thanksgiving falls in this time period (November 26) I’ll try to work out timing and details as soon as possible.

  6. Thank you, TK…

    It is indeed a beautiful morning.

    My condolences to all those suffering a loss of a loved one. It has been a tough stretch for the WHW family.

    May happiness soon be yours.

    1. I second that. I wasn’t on yesterday but was reading back to all the posts about loss. I am so very sorry to anyone who has lost a loved on recently. God bless.

  7. Good morning and thank you TK.

    It is a beautiful day, but it doesn’t help much.

    Getting lost in my work.

    1. Decent weather for a football game tonight. My son’s Mighty Mite team is playing at halftime of the Silver Lake High varsity game. That is a big deal when you are 7. 🙂

      1. Good luck to your son. Yes, it’s good fall weather for a game under the lights. Is your son a Gronkowski type, Brady, Edelman, Butler, Collins, or all five?

        1. His nickname is “The Bus”. He is very much like Jerome Bettis. He is stalky, strong as hell, and runs over his opponents. 🙂 He is quite the crowd pleaser at these games. Perhaps I am a little bias though.

    3. Of course there is something on the 28th. I am having a 50th birthday party for my husband that night. 🙂

  13. From our friends in Labrador (Aurora is the local newspaper in Labrador City). The picture of the cross-country skier is from 2 weeks ago! El Nino’s not impacting that part of the world. I chuckled when reading that skiers tend to avoid coming to the ski club when it’s 45-50 below zero in January. Yes, even in Labrador things can get too cold. Right now it’s snowing and in the upper 20s in Labrador City.

    1. Just for the heck of it…

      Boston to Labrador City 757 miles to NNE
      Boston to Myrtle Beach SC 732 miles to the SW
      🙂

  14. We had a 29mph gust of wind about 20 minutes ago followed by precipitation. It’s too warm for anything frozen, but were my eyes and ears deceiving me in thinking it was coming down as something frozen but melting for a short period of time?

    2. Drop size was fairly small and they were blowing around the breaking up in the wind. I saw that up here in the Reading / Woburn area as well.

  15. Keith, yes, I know, we’re pretty far from Labrador. And, our weather is as different from Labrador’s as Myrtle Beach’s is from ours.

    1. Actually I was thinking that maybe we will see more “Myrtle Beach” weather this winter than “Labrador City”. I love the snow and big snowstorms but last winter (where we had more of a Labrador type of winter) has almost broken my back 🙂 and If we end up with anything more than “normal” this winter I truly might have to think about moving south…never thought I would even think that but……

        1. 🙂 Ok ya got me.

          I was thinking more in the way of 700 miles south 😉
          In all honesty it probably never happen.

  16. After blow torch next week (at least upper level pattern leaving that as a potential because surface pattern may say otherwise), we are going to go through a transition to a colder interlude, for a while, though still a dry pattern. But the longer term pattern is still mild.

      1. It’s almost impossible to get sustained cold in the type of El Nino we have. And some of the warm water off South America is sliding more to the east where it had not been previously. However some other factors do allow the shots of cold, and just enough retrogression may take place to put us in the trough a little longer around and just after Thanksgiving before we head back to a milder regime. I’m not sure yet if that repeats a couple times heading through December. We can get sneaky snow from fast-moving northern stream systems. Most southern stream systems come when it’s too mild, or they miss altogether.

        1. Sounds good to me 🙂 🙂 🙂
          Plus isn’t the ocean waters way above average for mid Nov, last I saw temps ranged from 52-53 at the nh mass border to 58-59 just south of cape cod 🙂
