DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 16-20)
Discussion…
No major changes today with a system currently moving through that consists of a cold front parented by low pressure passing north of New England and a newly developing low passing across far southeastern New England into the waters east of the region by this evening. Showers will wrap up and just a few more additional ones may slide through from west to east as this system departs and then dry air takes over and fair weather arrives, albeit with a gusty wind and chilly air through Friday and Friday night. The next in the train of systems arrives later Saturday but we may get through most of the day rain-free. By the time it gets here any chill that was around early in the day will be long gone and we’re just looking at a rain event Saturday night and Sunday morning. Behind this system comes another bout of wind and the return of colder air during Sunday, which will see falling temperatures as it dries out. When we get to Monday, it will be dry but very chilly and made to feel even more so by a gusty wind which will continue.
Detailed forecast…
REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON: Widespread showers end west to east. Temperatures 40s NW, lower 50s SE. Wind variable 5-15 MPH shifting to W but stronger at times over southeastern MA with gusts up to and over 30 MPH at times.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 20s. Highs from the upper 30s to middle 40s.
DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 21-25)
Pre-Thanksgiving travel weather will be favorable Tuesday/Wednesday November 21-22 with a cold front crossing the region producing only a few rain and/or snow showers most likely early Wednesday. Current timing suggest dry on the holiday November 23 with chilly air in place, then maybe brief light rain/mix possibly November 24 otherwise mainly fair and moderating temperatures at the end of the period.
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 26-30)
The final days of November are still expected to see a bit of a blocking pattern develop with an increased risk for stormy weather, watching around the November 27-28 time frame but odds favor rain over snow for southern New England based on current pattern expectations. As always will monitor as this forecast is low confidence.
Thanks TK
A heavy downpour with some rumbles of thunder and some pea size hail happening right now.
Very cold aloft.
Thanks TK!
0.21 inch so far here. we shall see if any of that other stuff maked it hete.
Thanks TK
Some crystal blue sky showing between clouds along with very low lying fog. It is a spectacular sight.
Captain F … I’m not sure if you replied to my question about the game. If so I missed it. I could go back and look I suppose. 😛
Hi TK…No, I haven’t had time to post or read anything.
I really tried to rearrange things for tomorrow night and Saturday morning, but I just can’t get up there for the game. My heart is a bit broken that I can’t be with my students and the Sachems. It’s the “north’s” turn to host this game this year, plus it starts at 7:30. There’s a 5 pm game up there, too. Just too far to get to from here with things that I have to do. If the game was at Taunton or Brockton High School, I may have been able to get there. The game is on the local radio and I think it’s being live-streamed on the computer.
If you go, bring the Sachems luck for me.
Thanks for thinking of me.
I will probably go down for a little while during the 2nd half.
wow….the fog is thick enough that I cannot see the house across the street. And I need to go out. Ugh.
Just had a bright flash of lightning and big clap of thunder and now nothing
Had some pea size hail too in Mansfield a while ago. Wind picked up
A flash of lightening in Uxbridge and pea size hail earlier
25 years ago today was bitterly cold. The fall itself was cold….fairly typical for what October was. My daughter brought home her first horse….technically, a pony. Cabaret was one in a million. He took a shy little girl and gave her confidence

Love it Vicki!
Thanks all. He was as strong willed as they come and at the same time took amazing care of his little girl.
its something that if I had the money i would have liked to learn to ride.
I think you’d be great. You have a wonderful way with animals.
Around 4:30 here in Coventry, we had a quick hit of very strong winds, heavy rain, pea size hail, and a few cloud to ground lightning bolts that were very close by.Pretty impressive!
Mark I had something similar happen about an hour earlier.
Celtics now 14th straight!! 😀
It appears a coastal storm will be off our coastal in 10 days. On the 12z gfs it looks like rapid intensification from hour 240 to 264.
Sorry it’s the 0z.
Models will struggle in that period – pattern transition.
New post!
