DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 16-20)
A cold front passed through the region overnight and has put an end to the warm spell and returned a more seasonable fall feel to southeastern New England, which will be around for a couple days before a new warm-up gets underway during midweek only to be trimmed back on Friday by a weak front.
TODAY: Lots of clouds southeastern MA early with perhaps a shower, otherwise sun and passing clouds. Highs 60-65. Wind NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.

The indications continue to be for the mean ridge of high pressure shifting west and a trough being more prominent in the East, bringing up and down temperatures and a more unsettled weather pattern.

  3. Good morning and thank you TK.

    So begins another week. I can’t believe where the time is going.
    Poof! and another weekend has passed.

        1. That surely works for me. Third is good also!!! However, 7 and 11 are my favorite. Well, 19 also. Darn, this is getting difficult 🙂

  11. I may have to close my windows. It is getting chilly in the house. Or I can leave them open and turn the fire on when work ends!!

  13. If a change to consistent, long term cool is coming, it doesn’t appear to be happening prior to October 25th.

  14. Ophelia, as described up by the Irish Times (I only fully trust local sources of news for stories like these – so if a storm hits Ireland, the best reporting will be in Ireland, and not, say, the New York Times): https://www.irishtimes.com/

    My daughter stayed indoors all day as classes were cancelled. She says Dublin has mostly been spared the worst of the storm. This makes sense given Dublin’s location on the east coast of Ireland. The west coast (county Mayo, for example) was hit the hardest.

    1. Interesting reads, Joshua. Thank you. I am also glad to hear your daughter is safe. I completely agree with regard to trusting local news sources. More than interesting weather around the world of late.

    2. Thank you Joshua.

      I didn’t realize your daughter was in Dublin.

      I saw one observation earlier today where Dublin had wind gusts to 56 mph
      (yes mph as it was properly converted). And that was well to the East. I would
      Imagine there were gusts in excess of Hurricane force along the South and West coasts of Ireland.

      Interesting that the report indicated worst storm in 50 years.

  15. Definitely a different feel to the air today. Temperatures mired in the upper 40s most of the day here. Haven’t felt a chill like that in several months.

    I do think the pattern change is coming. I agree with Tom, not much before 10/25, but probably right around then. We’ll warm up very impressively again before then. But the typhoon recurve appears to be happening as expected. Confidence will remain low for awhile longer, but I’m thinking much more unsettled near to beyond 10/25 (hard to get less unsettled than our current pattern), and probably quite a bit cooler. Not sure how long lived the change will be though. Too early to say.

      1. We typically spent the veterans day’s weekend in Stowe at Macs uncles. More often than not we had to have the driveway plowed.

        Of course there was the time my son drove my daughter and her friend up. Mac and I were behind them. The driveway is about 1/4 mile. He tried to get up a couple of times and couldn’t. So decided to have the girls sit on the hood to weight it down. He seemed to overlook that the driveway was narrow and there were gullies on each side.

  21. Too bad I’m missing an actual autumnal morning. I’m in Dallas (at a conference) where it’s far from autumnal.

    As it turns out, the hype surrounding Ophelia may have been justified as it really did batter the western counties of Ireland with plenty of hurricane force gusts – these extended to several northern counties as well. All told, 3 people died and close to 400,000 lost power (which is unusual given that most of the power grid is underground). Already service has been restored to about half the number that lost power.

    There’s never much of a chance to relax and enjoy a calm day in Ireland (the word `calm’ is foreign to Ireland’s weather pattern in mid to late autumn) as `storm Brian’ will likely pass over Ireland on Friday and Saturday.

    The Irish weather site Éireann laconic take on this week’s weather is summed of as follows:

    “The spell of bad weather late this week, which would be called “Storm Brian” if it develops into a storm, is expected to hit Ireland or pass close by on late Friday and Saturday and a smaller bad spell of weather will cross Ireland on Thursday. “It’s wet and windy for Thursday and Friday [just as it was Monday and Tuesday], and there’s a question mark over the strength of the weekend’s storm. Based on current models, the forecaster said he was “not too worried about it”, and the potential Saturday storm would be nowhere near the scale of Storm Ophelia.”

    Ah yes, nothing a Jameson, Bailey’s Cream, or Guinness wouldn’t cure. Just try to imagine having 3 consecutive rain and wind storms in Boston in one week, with the likelihood on any given day of intermittent rain and wind the next 6 months. As my Irish-born (Mayo county) friend Michael told me, “Joshua, that’s why I can’t live there anymore.”

    1. There’s no doubt that was a powerful storm. The point being made by myself and SAK was that there will be stronger storms to impact Ireland during most winters. When he or I state facts like that, there is a tendency for some people to assume we are saying more than that. NOT the case.
