It’s mid-November, and it’ll certainly feel like it this weekend, but despite the relentless hype online, the storm tonight and Friday will NOT be a snowstorm.
Two areas of low pressure will pass south and east of New England tonight and Friday. For most of us, it’ll just be some rain, mainly tonight into Friday morning with a second batch later Friday. However, across parts of southern New Hampshire and central Massachusetts, especially in the Worcester Hills and the Monadnocks, temperatures will drop close to freezing for a while tonight, which may allow for some wet snow to mix in with the rain. Could there be some minor accumulations on grassy surfaces? Sure, but for the vast majority reading this? This will be a rainstorm. Everything winds down Friday night as low pressure starts pulling away, but an upper-level low pressure system moves through on Saturday, keeping plenty of clouds around, with a few more showers possible. We’ll still feel the effects of the upper low on Sunday as it continues to pull away, but high pressure will build in at the surface, allowing some more sunshine to develop. The high will be fully in control on Monday with plenty of sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures.
Thursday night: Periods of rain and showers, possibly mixed with some wet snow across the hills of Worcester County and southwestern New Hampshire. Low 31-38, a little milder across southeastern Massachusetss and Cape Cod.
Friday: Occasional showers. High 39-46, a little milder across Cape Cod.
Friday night: Cloudy, showers end in the evening. Low 27-34.
Saturday: More clouds than sunshine, slight chance for a shower. High 40-47.
Saturday night: Clearing. Low 28-35.
Sunday:A mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 44-51.
Sunday night: Clear skies. Low 29-36.
Monday: Mostly sunny. High 45-52.
