We’ve got an extended stretch of dry weather coming up and as a bonus, it’s going to turn milder too.

We’ll start the week with some sunshine, but clouds move in this afternoon ahead of a weak disturbance. That system may produce a few rain or snow showers late this afternoon and evening, but they’ll be widely scattered and very light. Skies clear out behind that system as high pressure builds in, setting up a sunny but chilly day on Tuesday. There may be a few ocean-effect rain or snow showers across the Outer Cape, but the rest of us will stay dry. Wednesday and Thursday look dry as well with high pressure in control, but temperatures should start to moderate by Thursday as the high slides off to the east. Clouds return on Friday ahead of the next storm system. We’ll be fairly mild ahead of that storm, with some rain likely late Friday into early Saturday. Once that system moves offshore, high pressure returns with drier and cooler conditions again on Sunday.

Monday: Morning sunshine gives way to increasing afternoon clouds, a late-day rain or snow shower is possible. High 39-46.

Monday night: A rain or snow shower during the evening, some clearing after midnight. Low 26-33.

Tuesday: Becoming partly to mostly sunny, a rain or snow shower is possible across the Outer Cape. High 43-50.

Tuesday night: Clear skies. Low 27-34.

Wednesday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 44-51.

Thursday: Mostly sunny. High 53-60.

Friday: Becoming mostly cloudy, rain possible late in the day, more likely at night, windy. High 56-63.

Saturday: Rain ending early, some clearing in the afternoon, breezy. High 52-59.

Sunday: Partly to mostly sunny and breezy. High 44-51.

The weather pattern will be fairly active for the first half of the week across the region.

We’re starting the week off with a rather cool day today with high pressure in control, but we’ll have plenty of clouds ahead of an approaching low pressure system. A warm front moves through tonight, bringing some showers with it. Those showers end Tuesday morning, setting up a rather mild day, with temperatures likely topping 60 in many locations. As the low pressure system passes by to t north, it will drag a cold front through late in the day, possibly producing another shower or two. High pressure builds in behind that front with much cooler weather on Wednesday. However, we’ll have another low pressure system quickly approaching by late Wednesday. This system will bring in some light rain on Thursday, but if the rain moves in fast enough, some cold air will still be in place, so the rain may start as some freezing rain or sleet well north and west of Boston. Another system may quickly follow for Friday, but this one looks to be a bit farther to the south, so any rain would likely be confined to areas south of the Mass Pike. High pressure builds back in for the weekend.

Monday: Becoming mostly cloudy. High 46-53.

Monday night: Cloudy and becoming breezy with showers developing. Low 41-48 during the evening, temperatures may rise a bit overnight.

Tuesday: Showers end early, then becoming partly to mostly sunny, breezy, and mild with another late-day shower possible. High 60-67.

Tuesday night: Clear to partly cloudy, breezy, turning cooler. Low 32-39.

Wednesday: Sunshine and a few clouds, breezy. High 42-49.

Thursday: Mostly cloudy with showers likely, possibly starting as some freezing rain or sleet from the hills of Worcester County into southern New Hampshire. High 43-50.

Friday: Mostly cloudy, more showers possible during the afternoon and evening, mainly south of the Mass Pike. High 46-53.

Saturday: Any lingering showers end early, then a mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 47-54.

Sunday: Partly sunny. High 41-48.

While this weekend won’t be as warm as last Saturday, it’ll be a lot warmer than the past few days.

We’ve got another chilly night coming up with high pressure settling in. Clear skies and light winds this evening will allow temperatures to drop fairly efficiently. However, as the high moves offshore, winds will shift into the southwest tonight, which will allow milder air to start to move in. You’ll notice it on Friday as the southwest winds start to pick up, allowing temperatures to get well into the 50s in most places, which is right around where we should be in early November. The warming trend will continue over the weekend and into Monday, with many places approaching 60, but a couple of disturbances will pass north of the region. While we’re not expecting any rain, except possibly a few sprinkles, we will have a decent amount of cloudcover at times. The clouds become more numerous later Monday as the next storm system begins to approach the region.

Don’t forget, Daylight Saving Time ends at 2am Sunday, when we turn the clocks back an hour. Your cell phone will do it automatically, but good luck getting it changed in your car. At least you’ll get an extra hour of sleep. Oh, and in case you forgot, sunset on Sunday will be a few minutes after 4:30pm.

Thursday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 28-35.

Friday: Sunshine and a few clouds for much of the day, clouds become more widespread toward evening, breezy during the afternoon. High 50-57.

Friday night: Partly to mostly cloudy with diminishing winds. Low 40-47.

Saturday: Intervals of clouds and sunshine. High 55-62.

Saturday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 38-45.

Sunday: Partly sunny. High 55-62.

Sunday night: Partly cloudy. Low 37-44.

Monday: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy. High 52-59.

The warm weather is gone and won’t be back anytime soon.

Low pressure rides along a frontal system stalled out across the region today, bringing us a chilly rain. Temperatures will end up a bit milder south of the front today, especially along the South Coast, possibly as far north as the Mass Pike. Rain ends this evening as the wave moves offshore, then high pressure builds in with clearing Monday night. Halloween starts off with sunshine and cool temperatures, but clouds start to move back in during the afternoon. A developing coastal system will pass south and east of the region late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Some rain is expected across parts of southeastern New England, but how far north and west the precipitation gets is still a question mark. Once you get north and west of I-495, the chances drop quickly. However, with some colder air in place, the rain may start as some wet snow. We’re not expecting any accumulation, but if you’re out an about early Wednesday morning, don’t be surprised if you see some wet snowflakes. That system quickly pulls away with skies clearing out in the afternoon. High pressure then builds back in with sunshine and chilly conditions for Thursday. Temperatures will slowly moderate for Friday into Sunday as the high moves offshore, with temperatures getting back above normal next weekend, but we’re talking into the 60s, not the 70s and 80s we just had. An approaching cold front spreads clouds in on Sunday, but it looks like any rain should hold off until Sunday night or Monday.

Monday: Periods of rain and showers, ending late in the day. High 48-55 north of the Mass Pike, 56-63 south of the Pike.

Monday night: Becoming partly cloudy to clear. Low 32-39.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny during the morning, clouds start to move back in during the afternoon. High 44-51.

Tuesday night: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy with showers developing across southeastern Massachusetts late at night. Low 30-37.

Wednesday: Some showers around in the morning, maybe a few wet snowflakes mixed in, mainly across eastern Massachusetts, skies start to clear out late in the day. High 42-49.

Thursday: Plenty of sunshine. High 45-52.

Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy, not as cool. High 52-59.

Saturday: Partly sunny. High 55-62.

Sunday: Intervals of clouds and sun, breezy, and mild. High 57-64.

The week starts off cool, but you’re really going to enjoy the second half of the week.

An upper-level low pressure area lifts out today, then high pressure starts to build in. This will result in clearing with breezy conditions today. The winds die down tonight, and with clear skies, we’ll be rather chilly. Some frost is likely away from the coast and urban areas. However, some high clouds will start to filter in overnight, which will act to level temperatures off. If the clouds move in a little quicker, that may prevent frost in some areas. Tuesday should feature sunshine after the clouds move out in the morning, with temperatures starting to moderate. High pressure moves offshore on Wednesday, and temperatures really start to warm up, possibly topping 70 in some locations. Another upper-level disturbance will bring in some clouds for late Wednesday and Thursday, but we’ll remain dry. Even warmer weather is expected for Thursday and Friday with temperatures likely getting well into 70s, possibly even approaching 80 in some spots on Friday. Saturday also looks warm, but some clouds will start to move in as a cold front approaches the region. Sunday’s forecast depends on the timing of the cold front. A disturbance riding along it will bring in some showers, but will the front move through Saturday night, or will it wait until later Sunday? If it’s earlier, Sunday will be much cooler than Saturday. If it’s later, then it’ll be another very warm day despite the cloudcover and showers. Once the front does move through, even cooler weather settles in for the start of the following week.

Monday: Becoming partly to mostly sunny. High 55-62.

Monday night: Clear and chilly, some clouds start to filter in after midnight. Low 34-41, except 41-48 in urban areas and near the coast.

Tuesday: Early clouds, then becoming mostly sunny. High 56-63.

Tuesday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 44-51.

Wednesday: Morning sun, increasing afternoon clouds, milder. High 64-71.

Thursday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 70-77.

Friday: Partly sunny. High 70-77.

Saturday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 71-78.

Sunday: Partly to mostly cloudy and cooler with a chance of showers. High 61-68.
