The weather pattern this week will be active, but not that impactful.

Wind chills will be in the single numbers and teens today behind a strong cold front. Image provided by WeatherBell.

We start the week on a chilly note as an arctic cold front crossed the region early this morning. Skies will clear out behind it today, but breezy and chilly weather is expected. As winds die down this evening, skies will be mostly clear, setting up a very chilly night, with many places once again dipping into the single numbers Tuesday morning. The cold weather will be short-lived as low pressure sures toward southeastern Canada, sending a warm front our way. We’ll see clouds moving in during the day, with a few snow showers accompanying the warm front in the evening. Wednesday should be a milder day, with a few places making a run at 50 degrees. However, we’ll also have some precipitation, mostly in the form of rain showers, possibly starting as a little snow, especially well north and west of Boston. The cold front moves through late in the day, then we’ll see some clearing for Thursday with cooler weather returning, but with an upper-level low moving through we could see a few snow showers popping up. High pressure settles in for Friday with cool and dry conditions. Another quick moving system may bring in some snow showers Friday night and early Saturday, though some models keep the system off to our south, then high pressure returns with colder weather once again later Saturday into Sunday.

Some mild weather and rain are expected on Wednesday. Image provided by Weathermodels.com

Monday: Partly to mostly sunny, breezy in the morning. High 21-28, a little milder across Cape Cod.

Monday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 5-12 inland, 13-20 in urban areas and along the coast.

Tuesday: Morning sunshine, then clouds stream in during the afternoon. High 26-33, a little milder across the South Coast and Cape Cod.

Tuesday night: Mostly cloudy, chance for some snow showers during the evening north of the Mass Pike, rain or snow showers south. Low 19-26 during the evening, a little milder across the South Coast and Cape Cod, temperatures rise overnight.

Wednesday: Plenty of clouds with showers likely, any snow will be confined to areas north of Concord, NH. High 39-46, a little milder across southeastern Massachusetts, southern Rhode Island, and Cape Cod.

Wednesday night: Showers ending, partial clearing late at night. Low 29-36.

Thursday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy, chance for a snow shower. High 35-42.

Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Low 18-25.

Friday: Partly sunny, some snow showers possible at night. High 29-36.

Saturday: Snow showers end early, some late-day sunny breaks, breezy. High 29-36.

Sunday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 26-33.

That time has arrived. You know what we’re talking about. That S-word is in the forecast for part of the region. You know the one. It’s 4 letters and rhymes with blow.

Winter Storm Watches are in effect from Boston’s northern and western suburbs into Northern New England. Image provided by the National Weather Service office in Norton, MA.

The week starts off with high pressure giving us a breezy and cool Monday, but clouds move in Monday night, setting up a messy Tuesday. Despite the hype online for the past week, this will NOT be a big deal for a good chunk of the region, though it is the first one this season, so be prepared for lots of people that forgot how to drive in wintry weather (or never knew how to in the first place). That high will be moving off to the east, so while it’ll be chilly to start the day, we won’t have a lot of cold air in place for much of the storm. An upper-level disturbance will be moving in from the Great Lakes while low pressure develops off the Carolinas heading northeastward. These two won’t join forces until they are well past us, so a blockbuster snowstorm is not expected. In fact, this one will be moving fairly quickly, likely in and out in about 12 hours. We’ll see precipitation developing near or just after the morning rush hour. Temperatures should be cold enough for it to start as snow for most of the region, except for Southeastern Massachusetts, the Cape, and Islands. However, with the ocean still relatively mild (water temperatures are in the 40s to lower 50s), a quick change to rain is expected south and east of Interstate 95. How far inland that rain/snow line gets will be determined by the exact track that the developing coastal storm takes, but that is still a bit of a question mark at this point. Right now, we’re expecting the changeover to likely get as far inland as Interstate 495, but that is highly uncertain. Precipitation will fall moderate to heavy at times on Tuesday, especially south of Boston, but as the system pulls away from the region later in the day, colder air may allow the rain/snow line to quickly move back toward the coast, with much of the region possibly ending as some snow before midnight, except possibly the Cape and Islands. So, how much are we expecting?

Cape Cod/Islands: Rain
Southeastern MA/RI (South and east of I-95): A coating.
Boston-Providence (I-95 corridor): Less than 1″
Northern RI/MetroWest/North Shore: 1-3″
Merrimack Valley: 2-4″
Southern NH/NH Seacoast: 3-6″
Worcester Hills/Monadnocks/Central NH: 4-8″ (possibly 10″ in spots, especially in the higher elevations)

The Blend of Models is probably closest to our forecast for snowfall. Image provided by WeatherBell.

Once the system pulls away we turn drier and chilly for Wednesday as high pressure builds in. Another cold front moves through on Thursday, with a few snow showers or squalls likely accompanying it. Friday looks to be another dry and cold day as high pressure builds back in. The weekend looks unsettled at this point, but nothing significant. Another system will pass by to the south Saturday morning and afternoon with some snow showers inland and rain showers along the coast. At this point, any accumulations look to be light, but that can obviously change, so we’ll keep an eye on it as the week goes on. Another Alberta Clipper quickly follows for later on Sunday. For now, this one looks to be just a few rain showers, possibly snow or a wintry mix well inland, but again, a lot can change between now and then.

It’s going to get quite chilly behind a cold front Thursday night. Image provided by Weathermodels.com

Monday: Mostly sunny, breezy. High 36-43.

Monday night: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy. Low 20-27, milder across Cape Cod, temperatures start rising after midnight.

Tuesday: Cloudy with snow developing (rain Cape Cod and SE Mass), quickly changing to rain south and east of I-95, eventually changing to rain as far inland as I-495. High 32-39 north and west of I-95, 40-47 south and east, possibly warmer across Cape Cod.

Tuesday night: Rain changes back to snow before ending across much of the region, rain ending across Cape Cod, becoming breezy, especially along the coast. Skies start to clear out late at night. Low 23-30.

Wednesday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 33-40.

Wednesday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 20-27.

Thursday: Intervals of clouds and sun, breezy, chance for a few snow showers or squalls. High 34-41.

Thursday night: Becoming clear, breezy during the evening, much colder. Low 7-14, warmer in urban areas and along the coast.

Friday: Mostly sunny in the morning, clouds start to filter in during the afternoon. High 23-30, a little milder across Cape Cod.

Saturday: Cloudy with a chance for snow showers inland, rain showers along the coast, mostly during the morning and early afternoon. High 34-41.

Sunday: Mostly cloudy, chance for a few afternoon rain showers, possibly mixed with snow or sleet at the start well north and west of Boston. High 34-41.

Thanksgiving Weekend Outlook: November 27-December 1, 2025

We’ve reached the busiest travel days of the year, and weather should not be an issue for the most part.

Wind chills will be in the upper teens and lower 20s Friday morning. Image provided by WeatherBell.

A cold front will cross the region tonight, produce a few showers this evening, then bringing an end to the mild weather we enjoyed today. Blustery and colder weather settles in for Thanksgiving Day, with skies becoming partly sunny. Friday looks to be similar, but a few degrees colder. A few stray snow showers are also possible on Friday, as a weak disturbance may help some of the streams of lake-effect snow survive this far east. High pressure brings sunshine and lighter winds on Saturday, but it will still be quite cool, even by late November standards. Temperatures start to moderate on Sunday as the high shifts off to the east, but the next system will be headed our way with plenty of clouds, and likely some rain by late afternoon. Rain is likely Friday night, ending Monday morning, with some sunshine developing Monday afternoon.

Don’t be surprised if there are some snow showers around Friday afternoon. Loop provided by WeatherBell.

Wednesday night: Plenty of clouds, chance for a few showers during the evening, becoming partly cloudy late at night. Low 35-42.

Thursday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds, breezy. High 40-47.

Thursday night: Becoming clear. Low 28-35.

Friday: Partly sunny, chance for a few snow showers, windy. High 36-43.

Friday night: Clear skies. Low 25-32.

Saturday: Plenty of sunshine, breezy in the morning. High 35-42.

Saturday night: Increasing clouds. Low 22-29.

Sunday: Cloudy and breezy with showers developing late in the day. High 44-51.

Sunday night: Showers likely, ending before daybreak. Low 33-40 during the evening, temperatures rise overnight.

Monday: Intervals of clouds and sun. High 42-49.

Thanksgiving week has arrived and weather shouldn’t cause many issues for travel around here.

Except for some rain Tuesday night and showers Wednesday, weather shouldn’t cause any pre-Thanksgiving travel issues around here. Loop provided by Weathermodels.com

We start to week off with a breezy and cool day as high pressure briefly builds into the region. Winds die down tonight, then we’ll turn milder on Tuesday as winds shift into the southwest ahead of low pressure heading into the Great Lakes. Some rain is likely ahead of that system late Tuesday and Tuesday night, setting up a milder day on Wednesday ahead of an approaching cold front with temperatures possibly approaching 60 in some spots. A few showers are possible during the day, but they’ll be more likely along the front during the evening.

Temperatures could reach 60 around here Wednesday afternoon. Image provided by Pivotal Weather.

Breezy and cooler weather settles in behind the front on Thanksgiving Day, then even colder weather moves in for Friday and Saturday as high pressure builds in. A weak upper-level disturbance may produce a few flurries on Friday, otherwise it’ll just be breezy and chilly with highs only in the 30s to lower 40s, with wind chills in the upper teens and 20s if you’re planning on heading out for any Black Friday sales. Saturday should be dry and chilly once again, but with less wind. Milder air starts to move back in on Sunday, but clouds will also be returning as another system heads our way. It looks like any precipitation accompanying the system should hold off until nighttime, which is good news for what is usually another busy travel day.

Bundle up if you’re heading out for the doorbuster sales Friday morning, as wind chills will be in the upper teens and lower 20s. Image provided by WeatherBell.

Monday: Partly to mostly sunny, breezy at times. High 42-49.

Monday night: Clear during the evening, increasing clouds overnight. Low 28-35, temperatures may rise a little after midnight.

Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, showers possible towards evening. High 47-54.

Tuesday night: Cloudy with showers likely, mainly before midnight. Low 40-47.

Wednesday: Cloudy and mild with a few showers during the day, becoming more likely towards evening. High 53-60.

Wednesday night: Showers ending in the evening, becoming partly cloudy late at night. Low 35-42.

Thursday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy, turning cooler. High 41-48.

Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Low 28-35.

Friday: Partly sunny, windy, chance for a few flurries. High 36-43.

Saturday: Morning sun gives way to some afternoon clouds. High 34-41.

Sunday: Mostly cloudy. High 39-46.

Most of the unsettled weather this outlook will happen during the latter half of the week.

Wind chills will be in the 20s when you head out the door Tuesday morning. Image provided by WeatherBell.

The week starts off with low pressure continuing to slowly move away from the region and into Atlantic Canada. The result will be breezy and cool but dry conditions for Monday and Tuesday. A weak system passes south of the region later Wednesday, but high pressure will build in, so we’ll stay dry with lighter winds. Thursday should be another dry and cool day with high pressure in control. A low pressure system will bring some rain and slightly milder air in on Friday, with some gusty winds possible once again as the system pulls away Friday night. High pressure should build in for the weekend with drier and cooler conditions. We will be keeping an eye on a wave of low pressure riding along the cold front as it pushes offshore, but for now, it looks like it will pass too far south to have any impact here.

Temperatures will be below normal for much of the upcoming week. Image provided by Weathermodels.com

Monday: A mix of sun and clouds, windy. High 37-44.

Monday night: Clear skies, breezy. Low 28-35.

Tuesday: Sunshine and a few afternoon clouds, breezy. High 39-46.

Tuesday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 25-32.

Wednesday: Mostly sunny. High 40-47.

Wednesday night: Becoming partly to mostly cloudy. Low 25-32.

Thursday: More clouds than sun. High 42-49.

Thursday night: Mostly cloudy. Low 30-37.

Friday: Cloudy with showers likely. High 48-55.

Saturday: Intervals of clouds and sun. High 45-52.

Sunday: Partly sunny. High 42-49.

Much cooler air is on the way for a good chunk of the upcoming week.

When you wake up Tuesday morning, wind chills will be in the 20s. Image provided by WeatherBell.

A strong cold front will move across the region today, while a developing wave of low pressure rides up along that front, bringing some more rain in, especially during the morning and early afternoon hours. It’ll be mild ahead of the front in the morning, but much cooler air will quickly move in behind the front during the afternoon and evening. How cool are we talking? High temperatures on Tuesday will only be in the upper 30s and lower 40s, but it will be breezy, so wind chills will only be in the 20s and 30s. Yes, we’re talking about wind chills. It’s that time of year. A large upper-level low pressure area will then make its way into the region. While this will bring much cooler air into our area, some records may be set in parts of the Southeast, as temperatures may drop to freezing or below all the way to the Gulf Coast. With the upper low nearby we’ll still have some clouds around with a few showers or flurries possible. Yes, snow flurries. Really. The upper low will drift into Atlantic Canada for the middle to latter portion of the week and into the weekend and high pressure will try to build in, but we’ll still have a few disturbances moving through at times, generating some additional clouds along with a few rain or snow showers, while keeping temperatures below normal for mid-November.

Temperatures will be 5-10 degrees below normal for much of the week. Image provided by Weathermodels.com

Monday: Occasional showers, some periods of steadier rain at times. High 54-61.

Monday night: Showers end in the evening, becoming partly cloudy to clear. Low 28-35.

Tuesday: Some morning sun, then clouds return, a few rain or snow showers are possible, breezy. High 36-43.

Tuesday night: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 28-35.

Wednesday: More clouds than sun, breezy, chance for a few rain or snow showers. High 41-48.

Wednesday night: Partly cloudy. Low 32-39.

Thursday: Partly sunny, breezy, a few showers possible. High 44-51.

Thursday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 29-36.

Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, breezy. High 42-49.

The weather pattern will turn a bit more active this week.

Average high temperatures in early November are in the mid-50s. Image provided by Weathermodels.com

We’re starting off dry today as high pressure slides offshore, but there are two systems heading our way. Low pressure heading up the East Coast will pass by the region later today, producing some light rain across parts of eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. At the same time, another system crossing southeastern Canada will send a cold front our way, with some additional rain showers across much of the region tonight. Behind the front, breezy and cooler conditions are likely as high pressure builds in for Tuesday. Another system quickly follows for late Wednesday and Wednesday night, with another round of rain showers, with gusty winds likely behind the system on Thursday. High pressure builds back in, and as it moves eastward, winds will shift into the southwest on Friday, allowing milder air to move back in. It will be short-lived though, as another cold front brings in some showers for Friday night. Saturday should be another dry and cooler day, but yet another system follows on Sunday with another round of showers expected.

Storms will move through the region every other day this week. Loop provided by Pivotal Weather.

Monday: Becoming mostly cloudy with showers developing in the afternoon, mainly across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. High 53-60.

Monday night: Showers end in the evening, skies clear out after midnight, breezy. Low 39-46.

Tuesday: Plenty of sunshine, breezy. High 50-57.

Tuesday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 36-43.

Wednesday: Increasing clouds. High 53-60.

Wednesday night: Cloudy and becoming breezy with scattered showers. Low 38-45.

Thursday: Becoming partly to mostly sunny, breezy. High 47-54.

Thursday night: Partly cloudy. Low 28-35.

Friday: Partly sunny in the morning, then clouds thicken up, showers possible at night. High 51-58.

Saturday: Morning showers, then clouds give way to some afternoon sun. High 54-61.

Sunday: Partly to mostly cloudy with a chance for more showers. High 52-59.

Despite last week’s heavy rain, we’re still in a drought for much of the region and really need more rain. Well, we are going to get some today.

A cold front will produce showers and thunderstorms this morning as it moves through. Loop provided by Weathermodels.com

A strong cold front will cross the region this morning. Ahead of this front we can expect some heavy rain, maybe a rumble of thunder, and some gusty winds. While this could have some impacts on the morning commute, it will be short-lived, as the rain should end with the front moving offshore by early afternoon. Gusty west winds behind the front will send temperatures downward through the afternoon. We’ll clear out at night as high pressure builds in, giving us some sunshine on Tuesday, but clouds will quickly return Tuesday night ahead of another cold front. This one will produce more showers Wednesday morning, but it will also move through fairly quickly, with skies starting to clear out in the afternoon. High pressure then builds in with cooler weather for the end of the week, but with an upper-level low moving in, we’ll see some clouds each day, and possibly a few showers at times. The upper-level low lifts out over the weekend as high pressure moves overhead with dry and cool conditions.

Temperatures will be below normal for the end of the week and the weekend. Image provided by WeatherBell.

Monday: Rain likely during the morning, possibly heavy at times, ending from west to east by early afternoon, skies start to clear out late in the day, breezy, especially during the morning and early afternoon. High 60-67 in the morning, temperatures start falling in the afternoon.

Monday night: Becoming partly cloudy to clear with diminishing winds. Low 44-51.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny, some clouds start to move back in late in the day. High 58-65.

Tuesday night: Becoming mostly cloudy with showers developing before daybreak. Low 47-54, temperatures may rise a little overnight.

Wednesday: Showers likely during the morning, ending by early afternoon, followed by clearing late in the day, breezy. High 60-67.

Wednesday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 40-47.

Thursday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds, a sprinkle is possible, breezy, cooler. High 54-61.

Thursday night: Clear to partly cloudy. Low 37-44.

Friday: A mix of sun and clouds, slight chance for a shower. High 52-59.

Saturday: Partly sunny. High 51-58.

Sunday: Partly sunny. High 52-59.

Some slow improvement is expected as the week goes on, but the start of the week will be rather nasty.

Low pressure will remain off the East Coast for much of the week. Loop provided by Tropical Tidbits.

Low pressure continues to meander around off the Mid-Atlantic coast today, with more rain, some of it heavy, strong winds, especially near the coast, and coastal flooding around the time of high tide, especially along east and northeast-facing coastlines. The low will start to drift eastward on Tuesday, with rain tapering off to showers and eventually ending, and winds slowly dying down, but it still won’t be a great day. By Wednesday the system will be south of Nova Scotia, but an upper-level low will move into the Northeast, keeping the clouds and cool temperatures around, with a few showers or some drizzle possible, especially near the coast, as north to northeast winds will remain gusty off the Atlantic. Thursday won’t be that much different than Wednesday as the upper low only slowly moves eastward.

Much of the region will pick up another 1-2″ (or more) of much needed rain before it ends. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

We finally start to see some improvement by Friday as high pressure continues to build in at the surface, but also aloft. Saturday looks to be the pick of the week with sunshine and milder temperatures with high pressure in control. Sunday will be a warmer day, but we won’t see as much sunshine. Low pressure moving into the Great Lakes will send some clouds into the region. Whether we see any showers before the end of the day is still a question mark, but for now, it looks like most of the day should remain dry.

Temperatures could approach or exceed 70 on Sunday. Image provided by WeatherBell.

Monday: Windy with rain, heavy at times. High 51-58, a little milder across southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod.

Monday night: Breezy, rain tapers off to showers. Low 46-53, a little milder across southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod.

Tuesday: Cloudy and breezy with more showers, tapering off during the afternoon from west to east. High 55-62.

Tuesday night: Partly to mostly cloudy, showers ending in the evening in eastern areas, winds diminish. Low 45-52.

Wednesday: More clouds than sun, breezy, chance for a few showers or drizzle near the coast. High 58-65.

Wednesday night: Partly cloudy, breezy, a few showers are drizzle along the coast. Low 37-44.

Thursday: Intervals of clouds and sun, breezy, another shower or some drizzle possible near the coast. High 51-58.

Thursday night: Partly cloudy, breezy. Low 36-43.

Friday: Mostly sunny, breezy in the morning. High 55-62.

Saturday: Sunshine and some afternoon clouds. High 58-65.

Sunday: Partly sunny, showers possible late in the day. High 64-71.

It’s going to feel like summer for a few more days, but you’ll be trading the flip-flops for sweatshirts later this week.

Temperatures should reach the lower to middle 80s this afternoon well away from the South Coast. Image provided by Weathermodels.com

High pressure remains on control to start the week with more sunshine and unseasonably warm temperatures. Many locations away from the South Coast will top 80 again today, with a seabreeze keeping the South Coast and Cape Cod in the 70s. Tuesday looks like another warm day with gusty southwest winds, but clouds will be on the increase ahead of an approaching cold front. That front will bring in some much-needed rain late Tuesday night into Wednesday, with temperatures getting back closer to normal for early October thanks to the cloudcover and rain. The front settles offshore later Wednesday and high pressure starts to build back in. Much cooler air moves in for Thursday, with many spots likely staying in the 50s all day.

Temperatures Thursday morning will be 15-20 degrees cooler than Wednesday morning. Image provided by WeatherBell.

We’ll stay on the cooler side for Friday and Saturday, but temperatures will be a little closer to normal, as winds shift back into the southwest with the high sliding offshore. Sunday is a bit of a question mark at this point. A low pressure area will be developing off the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Some models try and bring it northward, bringing in some additional much-needed rain, while other models have it stay off to the south with the high to the north blocking it. We’re going to lean toward the latter scenario for now (“When in drought, leave it out”), but this is something we’ll be keeping an eye on as the week progresses.

Will Sunday be wet or dry? It’s too early to tell. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.

Monday: Patchy morning fog, otherwise plenty of sunshine with a few afternoon clouds. High 79-86, except 71-78 across the South Coast and Cape Cod.

Monday night: Clear to partly cloudy with a little patchy fog again. Low 53-60.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny in the morning, increasing and thickening clouds in the afternoon, breezy. High 74-81, a little cooler near the South Coast and Cape Cod.

Tuesday night: Mostly cloudy, showers developing after midnight. Low 57-64.

Wednesday: Rain likely during the morning, tapering off from northwest to southeast during the afternoon, some clearing late in the day, especially north and west of Boston, breezy. High 63-70 in the morning, temperatures start dropping in the afternoon.

Wednesday night: Becoming clear. Low 38-45, a little milder across Cape Cod.

Thursday: Lots of sunshine. High 54-61.

Thursday night: Clear skies. Low 33-40, a little milder in urban areas and across Cape Cod.

Friday: Mostly sunny. High 57-64.

Saturday: A mix of sun and clouds. High 60-67.

Sunday: More clouds than sun with a chance for showers, especially late in the day, becoming breezy. High 58-65.
